Chapter 421 She’s My Girlfriend
At the same time, Harriet realized that Hayley’s face seemed to have changed. Though she still looked
beautiful, it seemed that she had done something to her appearance.
To be frank, Harriet rejected the behavior of pursuing beauty through surgery. Since her body had been
given to her by her parents, she should cherish them.
“I’m sorry for coming uninvited to your banquet, Grandma. It’s just that I’ve missed you so much.” The
look in Hayley’s eyes didn’t seem sincere at all.
However, Harriet reassured her, “No worries. I forgot to inform you about it. Since it’s usually the same
old relatives coming every year, I’m happy that you’ve come too.” After saying that, she instructed one
of the maids, “Escort Miss Seymour to the garden for some tea.”
Hayley was overjoyed upon hearing that. Sure enough, Harriet didn’t drive her away, so she happily
followed the maid to the garden.
As soon as Hayley left, Harriet let out a sigh of relief. She was aware of Hayley’s intentions, but the
Presgrave Family could only accept one daughter-in-law. Therefore, no matter what Hayley did, it

“From whom did Miss Seymour hear the news?” One of the female housekeepers on the side
questioned in surprise. She was the one who had sent out the invitations, but she didn’t recall sending
an invite to Hayley.
“Don’t worry about it. Let’s just serve her since she’s already here!” said Harriet with a wave of a hand.
However, the housekeeper blamed herself. After all, she knew what Hayley’s identity was; she was
merely a woman whom Young Master Elliot couldn’t get rid of.
“Should I inform Young Master Elliot?”
When Harriet recalled that Elliot would be bringing Anastasia to visit today, she was certain that
Anastasia wouldn’t come if she knew that Hayley was here. She couldn’t help but shake her head and
replied, “Forget it. Let’s tell them when they arrive!”
One of them was someone Harriet didn’t welcome, while the other was someone Harriet desperately
wanted her to be here.
Between Hayley and Anastasia, it was obvious who had the upper hand.
Soon, Harriet’s daughter, son-in-law, as well as Nigel arrived.
Some relatives and friends had also arrived earlier, so the whole yard was packed with luxury cars. All
the relatives of the Presgrave Family had gained a firm foothold in the political and business circles
with the support of the Presgrave Family. The Presgraves were like a big tree, and there was an
intricate network of relationships under the protection of said tree. Even Harriet’s brother was able to
soar high in the political circle due to the family’s influence.
While sitting in the tea house in the garden, Hayley couldn’t help but feel a little nervous when she
heard the lively atmosphere in the main hall. However, it wasn’t going to make her flinch or retreat.
Looking down at the box of drugs in her bag, she smirked cynically.
Anastasia was going to lose her pride today in front of all the relatives of the Presgrave Family.
After picking up the cup of tea, she took a few sips. It tasted pretty bland although she had already
taken some medication to revive her taste buds.
The doctors said that the surgery might cause long-term side effects, but for her beauty, Hayley could
only endure it.

At that moment, a black Rolls-Royce entered the front yard. The man who came out of the car was
Elliot while the woman that came out of the car was Anastasia.
He extended his hand to hold her, but she hid her hand shyly. “Let’s not hold hands.”
His deep gaze locked on her for a few seconds before realizing that she was just shy and didn’t want to
show too much affection in front of her relatives.
“Let’s go, then!” Elliot understood her feelings.
As they walked past the front garden and into the hall, they saw three banquet tables in the living hall.
All of the guests had arrived.
Once they entered the hall, Elliot started greeting the guests. As the most honorable child of the
Presgrave Family, Elliot had been polite and thoughtful since young. Therefore, everyone adored him.
While Anastasia followed him around, she listened to him exchanging customary greetings with his
relatives. It was also the first time she had seen him behaving like a well-mannered junior. Usually, he
was aloof and unapproachable, making everyone surrender to him!
“Elliot, why don’t you introduce us to this beautiful lady beside you?” one of his aunts urged.
“This is Anastasia Tillman, my girlfriend,” Elliot introduced her naturally.
Anastasia couldn’t help but feel her cheeks heat up when she heard that. She had thought about this
question before coming, but she still couldn’t avoid revealing her identity.
