Never Too Far Novel
Chapter 421-430
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 would be useless.
“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.
“What a beauty! Elliot has a good eye!”
“Of course, he does! Elliot has always been the most good-looking child to us. Naturally, he should go out with a beautiful woman.”
“I don’t agree!” Suddenly, a male voice sounded behind the lady.
Turning around, the lady couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the sight of Nigel. Nigel raised his chin and questioned, “Which part of me doesn’t win over Elliot? I was obviously the best looking when we were young.”
“You’re right. You’re the most handsome!” The lady quickly changed her words, eliciting some laughter among the crowd.
Even Anastasia was amused by their interaction. Based on Nigel’s looks, he was indeed not inferior to Elliot. However, in terms of his stance, Elliot was more domineering than he was.
“Anastasia, you should be the judge. Who is more good-looking between Elliot and me?”
Initially, Anastasia was just a spectator watching them. Now that Nigel had thrown the question at her, she could only cough awkwardly as she replied, “You.”
After saying that, Anastasia sensed a pair of eyes filled with resentment staring at her.
“Anastasia has good taste.” With that, Nigel reached out his hand to Anastasia, suggesting, “Come on, let’s go over there. I have something to tell you.”
However, the moment he finished his sentence, Elliot shot daggers at him. Nigel immediately sensed the deathly stare and realized that he couldn’t treat Anastasia casually anymore. He couldn’t even get involved with her personal affairs now that she belonged to someone else.
“What is it that you cannot talk in front of me?” Elliot glared at Nigel to prove his presence.
Anastasia covered her mouth while chuckling, but Nigel huffed while saying, “You petty man. Can’t I talk to your girlfriend for a little while?”
“No!” rejected Elliot coldly.
“Be the judge, Anastasia. He was the one who interrupted us when I tried to pursue you. I was kind enough to let you go, but look at how he’s treating me now!” Nigel started whining.
Anastasia laughed out loud at his antics. “I’m not meddling in your fight. You should solve it between yourselves.”
“Let’s go and greet Grandma.” Upon landing an arm on her waist, Elliot dragged Anastasia away from Nigel.
Since he was left without a choice, Nigel tagged along because he was bored. Everyone who attended the banquet today was mostly the seniors, and all the juniors didn’t manage to attend.
Currently, Harriet was sitting in the hall chatting away with the other old madams. When she saw Elliot and Anastasia walking up to her, her eyes were instantly filled with tenderness and affection.
“Come here, Anastasia. Take a seat,” she invited gently.
With that, Anastasia took the seat next to her. Harriet looked at her with guilt and apology. “Didn’t you bring Jared with you?”
“Jared went to my father’s place.”
“Oh! I quite like that child. He’s so adorable.” Whenever Harriet thought of the child, she immediately saw young Elliot in him.
Just then, the housekeeper requested to talk to Elliot outside.
“Young Master Elliot, I have something to tell you. Miss Hayley is here.”
Elliot’s face immediately darkened. “Who let her in?”
“Miss Hayley was the earliest to arrive, but I don’t know who informed her,” the housekeeper uttered helplessly.
There was a hint of coolness that flashed in Elliot’s eyes. Who was the one who obtained the information and relayed it to Hayley? There was only one person who knew about it, and that was his personal assistant, Daniel.
It seemed that Hayley even had the means to buy information from people around him.
“Where is she?” Elliot questioned indifferently.
“She’s at the tea house in the garden and hasn’t been invited to the hall yet. Do you want to see her?”
After glancing at Anastasia, who was busy chatting with his grandmother, he walked toward the tea house in the garden.
On this side, Hayley had been waiting to be invited to the main hall. However, it was Elliot who greeted her instead with a long face.
Hayley was in utter shock. Flustered, she almost broke the teacup in her hand. “How did you know I was here, Elliot?”
Ever since he knew that Hayley was the cause of Anastasia’s misery back then, he didn’t have any feelings for her anymore.
“This is my family’s gathering. There’s no reason for you to attend.” Elliot stared at her coldly.
Hayley’s eyes immediately reddened. “Why can’t I come when Anastasia is here? You’re being too biased, Elliot.”
Elliot frowned slightly and retorted somewhat coldly, “To me, you’re incomparable to Anastasia. I have always wanted to make up to you only in the material aspect, and you should know that.”
Hayley sensed that Elliot had changed, and his attitude toward her had become extraordinarily cold. Did Anastasia tell him something?
“Elliot, why are you doing this to me? Did I do something wrong?” Hayley bit her red lips and showed a pitiful look.
“Is it your fault that Anastasia was harassed five years ago?” Elliot interrogated.
Hearing that, Hayley quivered. She shook her head fervently and denied, “It wasn’t me; it wasn’t me, Elliot. It was her stepsister who did it. When I wanted to stop her, it was too late. I regret it so much now, and I deserve Anastasia’s hatred.”
Hayley appeared to be helpless on the surface, but in reality, she hated Anastasia to her bones. Sure enough, Anastasia exposed what happened back then just to win Elliot’s heart.
Staring at Hayley’s face, Elliot could only see how ugly her cry was after she underwent plastic surgery. It made him extremely uncomfortable, and he didn’t believe in a single word she uttered.
