After taking a deep breath, Hayley took a burner phone and dialed Anastasia’s number.
“Hello. Who is this?” Anastasia’s voice came from the other side of the line.
Hayley made sure that she was using a voice changer app. “Anastasia Tillman, I heard that you’re
getting married soon. Congratulations!” It was a sarcastic tone.
“It’s you?” Rage soared in Anastasia’s voice at the drop of the hat.
“Yes, it’s me! I miss our son so much. I wish I could see him.”
“Don’t you dare come close to my son!”
“I can do that if you give me some money. Otherwise, I’ll expose everything that had happened five
years ago. I will tell everyone that you slept with me and that you’ve worked at the club!”
Anastasia, who was currently at Elliot’s villa, tried to maintain her composure
while dealing with the scumbag she had been waiting for all this time.
“Money? How much do you want?” She feigned fear at the threat.
Hayley did not hesitate once she heard the offer. “One million.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“That’s impossible, but I can consider it if it’s a hundred thousand.”
“Five hundred thousand. That’s final.”
“I can’t give you more than a hundred thousand.” Anastasia was determined to catch the guy.
“Y-You’re going to marry Elliot Presgrave, that rich guy. How can you not have more than that?”
The altered voice rang a bell for some reason. ‘His’ voice and tone was familiar to Anastasia’s ears.
Then, a figure seeped into her mind. Hayley. Perhaps the person talking is not
the gigolo, but Hayley?
As an afterthought, she decided to test the waters by saying, “Elliot and I are not on good terms. He
won’t give me any money.”
As she had expected, the person snorted coldly. “Anastasia Tillman, that trick won’t work on me! He’ll
give you anything you want for sure.”
“The news is fake. He doesn’t love me. It’s a loveless marriage.”
“Anyone but me will believe in those lies. I know a lot about you and Elliot.”
Anastasia’s gaze was flaring with ire as her conjecture had hardened into conviction. It was Hayley
calling her at the moment. It seemed like Hayley had been trying to contact her from the beginning in
order to blackmail her.
Since the gigolo did not have the audacity to appear before Anastasia, Hayley was trying her luck to
blackmail Anastasia by pretending to be him.
She must be missing the lonely Erica who’s currently in prison. I guess I should
grant her a wish by sending her to jail as
well!
It was easy to prove whether the person on the phone was indeed Hayley or not throw the bait and
make her show up!
“Fine. Five hundred thousand is what you want, isn’t it? You gotta promise that you stay out of my son’s
sight or I’ll make you pay for it,” warned Anastasia.
Now that Anastasia had priced up the offer due to ‘fear’, Hayley was in triumph as her trick was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmworking. “Okay. I want the money now.”
Judging from how hasty the person was, Anastasia was certain that it was indeed Hayley attempting to
bamboozle her. Hayley was in dire need of money to refine her looks, yet Elliot had driven her away
previously.
Therefore, she acted as the gigolo to get money from Anastasia, which caused Anastasia to frown in
vexation. Why didn’t I realize earlier?
Anastasia was not going to forgive Hayley this time round. “How should I give you
the money?”
“I’ll send you the location. And you gotta leave the money there in an hour.”
“The amount is too much. I’ll give you a hundred thousand in cash and the remaining amount with a
credit card. But you gotta promise me that you won’t bother my life again. Otherwise, I won’t give the
money to you.” Anastasia feigned uneasiness.
“Okay. I promise, but you have to give me the right amount of money.”
“Deal.” Having said that, Anastasia terminated the call before dialing Elliot’s number and informed him
about the situation, asking him to trap Hayley into admission.
As Anastasia had enough on her plate with tonight’s engagement ceremony going on, she could not
afford to worry about this matter.
