Chapter 431 Scare
In fact, Anastasia couldn’t help but sense a chilly aura and the man’s eerie silence filled the
atmosphere.
Soon, Elliot looked up and sat her down beside him. “How are things with Jared? Would you like to
leave and check on him now?”
“Don’t worry about him. He is with my dad. Anyway, have they identified the reason that caused your
grandmother to faint?” Anastasia curiously asked.
Elliot nodded. “I’ll tell you more when I’m done taking care of everything.”
“Sure. What matters now is that your grandma wakes up.”
An hour later, Harriet woke up and was seemingly in a good mood, although she had no idea why she
fainted in the first place.
“Mom, let me handle our dinner next year! The years have caught up to you, and you should rest
more.” Brenda thought the hectic preparation for the dinner had taken a toll on Harriet’s health and
caused her to pass out.
“I didn’t do anything much either.” The lady shook her head.
“You nearly scared us all to death, Grandma.”

the others.
At the same time, Elliot was relieved after seeing his grandmother come around, thinking he could
finally put his mind to ease. “Grandma, you should probably stay in the hospital for a week,” he
suggested.
“That’s right, Mom! I promise I’ll visit you every day so that you won’t feel bored. Please stay here!”
“Why do you guys look like you’re trying to incarcerate me here?” Harriet wasn’t happy with everyone’s
suggestion as she expressed her dissatisfaction. After all, they all thought that the more energetic she
tried to make herself seem, the more childish she appeared to be.
In the meantime, Anastasia felt just as relieved as the rest while looking at the old lady with a smile on
her face while finally feeling the joy of having an elderly senior in the family.
“Aunt Brenda, why don’t you stay here to keep Grandma company with Nigel while I give Anastasia a
ride home?”
“Go ahead.” Brenda nodded her head in response.
When Elliot took Anastasia home, he was surprisingly quiet in the car, which made Anastasia think it
was because he was too shocked about his grandmother’s condition. Therefore, she silently stayed by
his side until they arrived at the entrance of her residential area just as Elliot said, “I’ll come over to pick
you up later.”
“There’s no need for that. I’ll be staying home tonight.” Anastasia didn’t want Elliot to be tired out by the
hassle of traveling.
“Sure, I’ll pick you up tomorrow then.” He hoped that she would move in and stay with him.
“Alright, do what you must for now.” She alighted from the car and walked further into the residential
area.
After watching the lady walk through the gate, Elliot reached for his phone and dialed Rey’s number.
“Gather a few men and tell them to come with me to Hayley’s house.”
On the other hand, Hayley and Daniel were cuddling each other in their sleep at Summit Mansion as
they were exhausted from their intimate moment just minutes ago. However, that also left the
unsuspecting duo completely unaware of Elliot and his men’s arrival.
Meanwhile, Rey was shocked by what he discovered as he managed to trace a transaction that led
them to a source, which was later identified to be from the black card given to Hayley. “President
Presgrave, Miss Seymour has spent approximately fifty million with this card in the past six months.”
Damn! Hayley hasn’t really been frugal with the money she’s been given.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElliot squinted, deciding to stop aiding Hayley financially from that moment on. At the same time, Rey
had the access card to the mansion and was able to drive into the compound. Throughout the entire
time, Hayley and Daniel were still sound asleep in the room. Since the manor belonged to Elliot, he had
the authority to reset the password. Instead of waking the two of them up, he reset the password and
opened the door.
“They’re now upstairs. Should we head up there?” Rey awkwardly asked, considering the fact that
Daniel was his colleague.
“Get them down here.” Elliot had no interest in witnessing what he deemed would be an eyesore.
Therefore, Rey reluctantly headed upstairs by himself and made his way to the bedroom where he saw
several clothes lying on the ground. At the sight of that, he felt goosebumps running all over his body
as he knocked on the door, waking the two of them up instantly.
While Hayley snapped out of her alcoholic influence, Daniel immediately asked, “Who else has access
to your house, Hayley?”
“Is it Anna?” Hayley, who was seen with her messy hair, was mad at Anna whom she thought was
knocking on the door.
As Daniel wore his clothes in a panicky manner, Hayley wrapped herself in her pajamas and opened
the door, only to be greeted by Rey’s face which left them horrified and stunned.
