After settling the money matter, Hayley heaved a sigh of relief as she left her room, thinking that Anastasia was so
foolish to have fallen for such a trick. Five hundred thousand would be enough for Hayley to survive for years.
Not only that, there was a chance to recover her looks! As she was feeling giddy about her ‘flawless’ plan, Hayley
figured that she could make Anastasia her very own magic money tree in the future after having successfully
deceived Anastasia like a fool.
Hayley ordered Anastasia to put the money into a locker at a grocery store before texting the password. An hour
later, she would be swimming in cash and doing anything she fancied with the card.
In order to get the money furtively, she planned to wear a disguise apart from hiring someone with two hundred
dollars to help her move the money.
Half an hour later, amidst the crowded locker room, there was a guy shoving a bulging bag into one of the lockers.
He set a password before taking his leave.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMixing around the nearby throng was Hayley, whose eyes were staring at the locker with excitement. She believed
it!
Considering how much money she would own in the near future, five hundred thousand was a trifle to Anastasia. It
would not pain her at all.
Soon, Hayley received a message from Anastasia that read, ‘I’ve left the money as told. You better do as you’ve
promised. Otherwise, you’ll never get away from it.
A sniggering Hayley glanced at a young man next to her, who seemed quite dense, before asking whether he
wished to earn himself some easy cash.
He nodded vigorously, after which she instructed him to move a hefty bag from the locker to her car.
He did as she told immediately upon receiving the money. The loaded bag was so heavy that he could barely move
it. After looking left and right, she wore a cap before trailing behind him. She even covered her face with a mask for
this mission.
Once the man had arrived at the entrance, she instructed him, “Drop it there. Thanks.”
“Miss, what is in that bag? It’s so heavy,” asked the curious man.
Hayley glossed it over by saying, “Just mask packs from my friend.”
After that, he took the thousand dollar cash and left like a happy bunny.
At the same time, Hayley hauled the bag to the side to have a look of the content. It was loaded with cash as she
had expected! Just as she was about to carry the bag, a shadow loomed over her and caused her to raise her head
at the oncoming person.
The two men donned in casual attires showed their police badges. “Hayley Seymour, you’re under arrest for
blackmailing Miss Tillman a large sum of money. Please follow us to the station for investigation.”
Her face went pallid within split seconds. What? How did she find out that it’s me?
“N-No! I didn’t blackmail anyone. She gave it to me willingly!” With that being said, she forwent the money and
dashed with all her might. Still, the bodyguards, who were already guarding outside, thwarted her and rendered her

“Let go of me! Who are you?!”
“We’re Miss Tillman’s bodyguards. You can’t escape, Hayley.”
“How did that b*tch know that it’s me?!”
“Do not speak of Miss Tillman like that.” Then, the bodyguard flung her toward the ground.
A spasm of pain contorted her face and her heart sank to the pit of her stomach, for she had not foreseen herself
to be the one who would fall in the trap.
Now, Hayley had completely understood why Anastasia was willing to increase the amount to five hundred
thousand-the higher the amount of money involved, the heavier the penalty would be. Still, the hindsight was too
late.
“Anastasia Tillman!” growled Hayley before she was cuffed and taken away by the police.
In the meantime, Anastasia, who was in the makeup room, was informed that Hayley was taken into custody.
Everything had gone as planned and it added to the icing on the cake on her engagement day.
“Miss Tillman, shall we start with the makeup?”
“Sure,” replied Anastasia as the elite makeup team tended to her at Elliot’s villa.
