Chapter 132 However, Hayley soon found herself distracted by a tall figure that appeared behind Anastasia. Hayley
watched as Elliot walked past the crowd toward Anastasia, and a resentful glare surfaced in her eyes.
She put her wine glass aside before following behind Elliot. She wanted to know why he was going after
Anastasia.
Anastasia had just stepped out of the hall when she heard a man’s icy voice calling for her. “Stop there.”
She instinctively turned around to see Elliot walking over to her. He looked like a prince under the dim
light, and his icy glare was fixed on her as he spoke to her in an interrogative tone. “Did you really say
yes to Nigel’s proposal?”
Anastasia was too shocked to say anything for a moment. The whole proposal caused a huge
commotion earlier, so Elliot must have seen it as well. Well… Forget it. I don’t feel like explaining
anything to him. “This is my business,” she muttered while pressing a button for the elevator.
At that moment, there were only a few waiters standing in the positions by the main entrance. None of
the guests were anywhere near them. Elliot narrowed his eyes, and he looked as if he couldn’t contain

the balcony.
Anastasia was no match for his strength, so she stumbled along in the direction he was pulling her. She
could only shout and flail her arms in anger. “Let go of me, Elliot!” But the man didn’t seem to care at all,
and he simply dragged her toward an empty balcony that was filled with all sorts of expensive plants. It
was like a garden that no one knew about.
Anastasia gasped for breath while throwing her arms around. The man pushed her into a corner before
he leaned his head closer to her. They looked into each other’s eyes, their faces close enough for the
tips of their noses to touch.
When she felt the man’s warm breath on her face, she pushed him away angrily before scolding him
under her breath. “Are you done fooling around, Elliot?”
“Did you really say yes to Nigel’s proposal? Are you going to get married to him?” Elliot’s question
sounded somewhat gentle, yet there was a hint of iciness in his tone. If she told him that she had said
yes, he was going to lose it.
“Why is it any of your business?” She turned her face away from him.
“Because we share secrets between us that others can’t know about,” he reminded her through gritted
teeth. He made it sound like they really had something going on between them.
“That’s just because you’re a pervert. I don’t have any interest toward you, and there’s nothing going on
between us.” Anastasia stiffened her neck as she voiced her disagreement. Her pouty lips looked
especially attractive under the dim light, and Elliot had the urge to taste them.
All of a sudden, anger flashed in Elliot’s gaze as he suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his thumb
across her lips in a harsh manner. “This is the spot I kissed, Anastasia. I don’t want other people kissing
the same spot, not even Nigel.”
“You-” Anastasia attempted to protest. However, her lips had just parted to speak when the man pressed
his hand against the back of her head before moving closer to her. Her mind went blank
for a few seconds, and all she could do was let out a weak moan. For some reason, the man’s kiss had
some magical effect on her-it made her entire mind and body freeze, and it even triggered some
embarrassing bodily reactions. She wished she could slap herself at that moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Wu…” Anastasia mumbled as the man brought her arms up above her head. He probably doesn’t want
to be slapped again, huh? She was starting to lose her patience as the guy continued to touch her.
However, neither of them realized that a person was glaring at them with jealousy from behind the door.
The person was hidden by a bunch of plants near the door, but she still managed to fix her deadly glare
on them. Hayley only used to suspect that something was going on between them, but she finally saw it
with her own eyes this time.
Hayley saw Elliot and Anastasia entering together, and she watched as the man pulled the woman into
his arms without any hesitation. Although Hayley couldn’t hear what they were saying, she could see
how Elliot and Anastasia’s shadows often overlapped one another. They’re kissing, she thought.
The hall was just next door. Anastasia had just been proposed to, yet she’s now sharing an intimate kiss
with the other young master of the Presgrave Family! Hayley felt a sharp ache in her heart that made her
feel like she was about to lose her mind. How did Anastasia manage to seduce Elliot? How did she get
Elliot to fall for her? Elliot’s going for her even though he knows that Nigel has proposed to her.
