Hayley took a deep breath and checked the bumps. The more she looked at it, the angrier she
became, and she even felt a little frightened. Were the side effects starting to appear? No, she didn’t
have the money to repair and maintain her face now.
It took her a long time before she barely managed to cover these bumps with makeup, but she knew
that if she didn’t take care of her face, she would have even more problems in the future. At the
beginning, she spent nearly two million on plastic surgery, and some of these procedures required
follow-up appointments after three months. Back then, she had Elliot’s black card that she could spend
as much as she wanted. However, she didn’t expect that she would be ruthlessly driven out by him one
day.
Hayley looked at herself in the mirror, feeling hatred and adoration for her face
at the same time. She became even more jealous of Anastasia’s natural beauty, while she had to
always be frightened and afraid that she would lose hers at any time.
Early in the morning, Anastasia received a call from the police as Naomi’s lawyer wanted to see her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, she didn’t really want to meet them as Naomi’s matter was not over yet. The reason why she
delayed her father’s resuscitation and the pills found in his mouth were all related to Naomi. Before
collecting all necessary evidence, she wouldn’t accuse her yet. She wouldn’t be merciful this time
either. Even if Naomi was her stepmother, she wouldn’t go easy on her.
In the afternoon, Naomi’s lawyer contacted Erica, and she directly took the lawyer to the hospital to
meet Anastasia. Erica anxiously wished for her mother to: be released as well, so Anastasia had no
choice but to face them directly.
In the conference room, the lawyer talked to Anastasia on behalf of Naomi, while Erica sat aside and
listened.
“Miss Tillman, Ms. Lowell is your stepmother and has raised you since you were a child…” The lawyer
began, intending to persuade Anastasia in a reasonable way.
However, Anastasia scoffed before he even finished his sentence. “Mr. Yale. before you persuade me,
you should ask how my stepmother treated me when I was younger. Otherwise, it’ll be a waste of your
time.”
Elias Yale couldn’t help but push his glasses up and glance at Erica. For the sake of her mother, Erica
became meek all of a sudden. “Anastasia, I know my mother was not a good person, but can you let
her out in consideration of her taking care of Dad for so many years and their relationship as a married
couple? She’s too old for this.”
Anastasia said emotionlessly, “Now, you think your mother is too old to suffer, but does that mean I
deserved to be kicked out of my house by her when I was young? Also, you chased me out like this five
years ago, and we still haven’t dealt with that matter yet!”
Erica gulped subconsciously. Never once had she thought that she and her mother would end up in
such a predicament, or she would’ve been kinder to Anastasia.
“Miss Tillman, perhaps you are mistaken. According to Ms. Lowell, she only hoped to save her
husband from his coma, not to murder him,” Elias said calmly.
“Mr. Yale, the evidence is in my hands. The hospital has the identification certificate which can
determine if those drugs were meant to save a person or end their life. If you have any questions, I can

her of the crime, my advice is you should convince her to plead guilty instead,” Anastasia retorted
coldly.
As she listened to their conversation, Erica broke into a cold sweat. Although Anastasia was never an
easy target in the task, she realized that she was even more of a threat now.
“Anastasia, I’m begging you, please let Mom go on the behalf of her taking care of Dad for so many
years! I’ll do anything you say, all right? I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. As long as you let
her go, we’ll definitely return the favor in
the future.” Erica had already let go of all
the future.” Erica had already let go of all her pride. As long as her mother could be released, she was
willing to humbly beg Anastasia.
However, to Anastasia, it was useless even if Erica got on her knees and begged her. She said coldly,
