Chapter 132

However, Hayley soon found herself distracted by a tall figure thatappeared behind Anastasia. Hayley watched as Elliot walked past thecrowd toward Anastasia, and a resentful glare surfaced in her eyes. Sheput her wine glass aside before following behind Elliot. She wanted toknow why he was going after Anastasia.

Anastasia had just stepped out of the hall when she heard a man’s icyvoice calling for her. “Stop there.” She instinctively turned around to seeElliot 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 interrogativetone. “Did you really say yes to Nigel's proposal?”

Anastasia was too shocked to say anything for a moment. The wholeproposal caused a huge commotion earlier, so Elliot must have seen itas well. Well... Forget it. I don't feel like explaining anything to him.“This is my business,” she muttered while pressing a button for theelevator.

At that moment, there were only a few waiters standing in the positionsby the main entrance. None of the guests were anywhere near them.Elliot narrowed his eyes, and he looked as if he couldn't contain hisemotions anymore. He grabbed Anastasia’s arm before dragging heraside to a pathway that led to the balcony.

Anastasia was no match for his strength, so she stumbled along in thedirection he was pulling her. She could only shout and flail her arms inanger. “Let go of me, Elliot!” But the man didn't seem to care at all, andhe simply dragged her toward an empty balcony that was filled with allsorts of expensive plants. It was like a garden that no one knew about.Anastasia gasped for breath while throwing her arms around. The manpushed her into a corner before he leaned his head closer to her. Theylooked into each other's eyes, their faces close enough for the tips oftheir noses to touch.

When she felt the man’s warm breath on her face, she pushed himaway angrily before scolding him under her breath. “Are you donefooling around, Elliot?”

"Did you really say yes to Nigel's proposal? Are you going to getmarried to him?” Elliot's question sounded somewhat gentle, yet therewas a hint of iciness in his tone. If she told him that she had said yes, hewas 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 theyreally had something going on between them

“That's just because you're a pervert. I don't have any interest towardyou, and there's nothing going on between us.” Anastasia stiffened herneck as she voiced her disagreement. Her pouty lips looked especiallyattractive 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 hishand and rubbed his thumb across her lips in a harsh manner. “This isthe spot I kissed, Anastasia. I don't want other people kissing the samespot, not even Nigel.”

“You-" Anastasia attempted to protest. However, her lips had justparted to speak when the man pressed his hand against the back of herhead before moving closer to her. Her mind went blank

for a few seconds, and all she could do was let out a weak moan. Forsome reason, the man’s kiss had some magical effect on her-it madeher entire mind and body freeze, and it even triggered someembarrassing bodily reactions. She wished she could slap herself at thatmoment.

“Wu...” Anastasia mumbled as the man brought her arms up above herhead. He probably doesn't want to be slapped again, huh? She wasstarting to lose her patience as the guy continued to touch her.However, neither of them realized that a person was glaring at themwith jealousy from behind the door. The person was hidden by a bunchof plants near the door, but she still managed to fix her deadly glare onthem. Hayley only used to suspect that something was going onbetween them, but she finally saw it with her own eyes this time.Hayley saw Elliot and Anastasia entering together, and she watched asthe man pulled the woman into his arms without any hesitation.Although Hayley couldn't hear what they were saying, she could seehow 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, yetshe’s now sharing an intimate kiss with the other young master of thePresgrave Family! Hayley felt a sharp ache in her heart that made herfeel like she was about to lose her mind. How did Anastasia manage toseduce Elliot? How did she get Elliot to fall for her? Elliot's going for hereven though he knows that Nigel has proposed to her.
