Hayley Seymour! A sudden gush of anger was suddenly ignited in Erica’s heart because in her eyes, Hayley was despicable and shameless. She had blatantly stolen Erica’s man and fed her with negative thoughts that ruined her life.
Erica thereafter grabbed the soup on the side and walked toward Hayley. All this while, Hayley had her head lowered in an attempt to avoid Erica recognizing her. However, at this moment, she turned around when she heard the approaching footsteps and a bowl of cold soup was immediately splashed across her face.
“Ahhhh!” Hayley was struggling to open her eyes when she was slapped hard across the face in the next second.
As if the slap wasn’t enough, Erica started screaming while reaching out to pull her hair. “Hayley Seymour, you b*tch! I’m going to kill you!”
“Erica Tillman, let me go.” Hayley’s scalp began to burn with pain and two correctional officers came over at this moment to separate the two and give
them their fair share of scolding.
Hayley’s face was filled with disgust as she wiped her face. As she had gone through several plastic surgeries, the lumps on her forehead were prominent.
“Haha! Look at your face! You look like a witch! It’s disgusting!” Erica sat down and mocked Hayley, who went back to wiping the table.
Hearing this, Hayley sneered. “And I’ll continue to disgust you. We’ll have to see each other for more than ten years anyway! Anastasia is a gem now and known as Mrs. Presgrave. Do you know that she and Elliot are married? She is also the eldest daughter of the Tillman Family. As for you, you are just a piece of trash by the side of the road while she is dazzling like a diamond.”
Erica bit her lips. Of course, she couldn’t tell Hayley how she really felt because of her envy toward Anastasia. However, right now, she couldn’t even have the freedom she desired the most. What was the use of being jealous?
“Alex is also sentenced! We’re all ruined.
None of us will live a good life,” Hayley
continued as she sat across Erica to rest.
Erica’s eyes darkened at the sound of this.. Her parents were jailed and she herself was imprisoned. At the end of the day, had she ever regretted her capriciousness and malice?
She was filled with remorse. If she had been given another chance, she would have never destroyed herself to this extent. She would find an average man to marry, have a child together with him, and be a good wife.
“There’s no use regretting,” Hayley commented as if she could read Erica’s mind.
Then, Erica raised her head and asked, “I still have no idea how you got thrown in here!”
Hayley had no intention of hiding it from Emily. For her, those days were the happiest time of her life.
“Did you know? That year, when we were plotting against Anastasia, it wasn’t a gigolo who entered the room. It was
Elliot Presgrave. After Elliot handed her a watch, she then left it on the ground. Then, the waiter contacted me and gave me that watch.” Hayley clearly remembered the day when Elliot came to her store to look for her. He was dignified and exuded a masculine charm that made her fall in love with him at first sight.
Erica’s eyes widened as she prodded, “And then?”
“Five years later, the business was so bad in my store that I had to sell the watch. A week later, Elliot returned to my store and asked whether I was the woman in the room that night. I said yes,” a shameless Hayley answered.
After that, Erica scolded, “You are shameless.”
“You would’ve done the same. Elliot said he was going to make amends. He gave me a big villa, a sports car, a black card with no limits, and a few servants. At that time, I was beautiful and happy. I could buy whatever I wanted. There would be nights where I get to dine with Elliot and
go on jewelry exhibitions together.” Speaking of this, Hayley turned to Erica. “Didn’t I get you a few gifts that were worth more than half a million?!”
At this moment, Erica finally knew how Hayley became a wealthy woman overnight. It turned out that she had stolen Anastasia’s identity and took advantage of the compensation..
“And that’s how I ended up here. I did that for about seven months. I’ve spent 35 million of Elliot’s money. In the end, I was tricked by Anastasia and I was charged with extortion.” Then, Hayley smiled bitterly and continued, “People say you can’t have too much of a good thing because it’ll eventually bite you in the back.”
And because of this, she was using the rest of her life to pay for her mistakes.
