A scheming expression flashed across Hayley’s eyes as she said, “It’s best to keep Anastasia and Elliot from getting engaged.”
“What idea do you have, Hayley?” Erica’s mind was blank at the moment.
After having lost all her money, Hayley did not have much means left, but she couldn’t just watch Anastasia and Elliot getting engaged either.
“Erica, let’s head home first. Let me think
of a way.” Hayley stated.
“Okay, as long as you think of a way, I will definitely help you,” Erica said innocently without knowing she was going to be taken advantage of by Hayley.
Hayley patted her in response and remarked, ‘Erica, Anastasia is our common enemy and we will deal with her together.”
“Sure.” Erica nodded vigorously.
Hayley’s cell phone rang at that moment, and she stretched out with her hand to take a look at her phone. “Let me take this call,” she said.
After that, she walked to the side and picked up the call. “Hello.”
“Where are you? Let’s have dinner together. I have reserved a restaurant for tonight.” Alex’s voice sounded from the other end of the line.
“Okay. Give me the address and I’ll come over,” she agreed readily.
“Who are you with?’ he asked.
“With friends,” she replied.
“Are you with Erica?” Alex sounded a little anxious at that.
Hayley comforted him, ‘Don’t worry, she won’t find out about our relationship.”
“Don’t tell her about us, Hayley. I have mentioned that she is the one who can assist me in claiming Tillman Constructions, Alex reminded her
calmly.
“I understand.” Hayley hummed in response. She realized that as long as she firmly held Alex’s heart, she would also be able to enjoy the future equity of the Tillman Constructions that he would hold.
This could also be regarded as an indirect revenge against Anastasia..
“Your boyfriend?” Erica asked curiously as
she looked at Hayley, who just hung up
the phone.
“Just a friend,” Hayley replied vaguely. “Let’s go! Let’s do more shopping!”
He was hosting two honored guests, Richard and Arthur that night in Elliot’s villa.
The two of them arrived with some toys for Jared. Knowing that they were Elliot’s good friends, Jared adored the duo very much.
When Arthur and Richard glanced at Jared, they couldn’t decide whether or
not to tell Elliot because they were afraid
he would be unhappy if they addressed it. If they didn’t say it aloud, they would feel
uncomfortable suppressing it.
Jared is surely Elliot’s biological son! The two of them had met Elliot when he was eight years old and had stayed together as friends and trained with him until he was sixteen. Elliot’s childhood appearance was therefore vividly imprinted in their minds. That was why when they saw Jared, they felt as if they were looking at Elliot as a child.
Both of them look exactly the same!
However, on their way home, Arthur and Richard had learned that Anastasia’s son had nothing to do with Elliot. Hence, it could only be said that the father and son were predestined to look alike.
“Jared, will you pay a visit to my house in the future?” Arthur asked with a smile.
“What do you do for a living. Mr. Weiss and Mr. Lloyd?” Jared inquired curiously as the two of them gave completely
different feelings to him.
“I’m an idler. Him, on the other hand…” Arthur pointed at Richard and continued, “If anyone bullies you in the future, you can look for Mr. Lloyd. He likes punishing bad people the most.”
Richard nodded seriously and concurred, “Yes, I can beat up bad guys.”
“Okay. In the future, if there are bad guys
that Mr. Presgrave can’t deal with, I’ll ask
for your help,” Jared said with a nod.
Arthur and Richard exchange a joyful glance after they heard Jared. It feels great to know that I am needed.
As soon as Jared left, Arthur immediately turned to face Richard. “Do they look alike?” he asked.
“Almost identical.” Richard nodded in agreement.
Following their brief conversation, the two of them chased after Jared from behind as their affections for him grew even stronger.
“I’m wondering whether our child will be as handsome as Jared if and when the two of us have children in the future,” Arthur pondered as he crossed his arms.
“That will be a few years later and I won’t necessarily want to have children,” Richard replied with certainty.
Arthur curled his lips and smiled. “Alright, then. Let’s see who gets married later,” he suggested.
“Are there any rewards?” Richard was showing interest.
“Yes. Whoever gets married late will give
the other one million,” Arthur responded. “But I don’t have any money!” Richard
stated stingily.
