Chapter 218 Anastasia Is Selfish

Hayley nodded immediately, feeling joyful. “Sure, I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”

“Hayley, you were friends with Anastasia growing up. I want to know how she lost her chastity and who was the guy who defiled her,” Elliot asked as he stared gravely at her.

Hayley’s smile frozen upon hearing his question. With that, she pursed her lips and let out a murky breath. “That’s… what you want to know?”

“Please tell me about it, Hayley.” It was evident Elliot wasn’t going to take no for an answer.

Hayley didn’t know what to do. The man sitting across from her had no clue that he was the one who defiled Anastasia back then. Of course, she wouldn’t let Elliot shoulder such an offense. She took a deep breath at that, for she had long been mentally prepared for this day to come.

“Poor Anastasia. That night traumatized me as well since it only happened because she came to save me. If I hadn’t phoned her, she wouldn’t have gone into that room, and she wouldn’t have encountered that psycho. Even when Anastasia wrongly accused me of what happened, I still admitted that everything was my fault.”

“What did she wrongly accuse you of?” Elliot frowned.

When Hayley looked up, her eyes were red-rimmed and filled with remorse. Then, she drew a deep breath. “I know no one can accept such an experience happening to them. Anastasia is a strong woman, but still, she has lost her virginity. She hates me. She said I had purposely arranged for that man to be in there, and I created the tragedy that befell her. I accept all her accusations since I do deserve to be d*mned. In fact, I shouldn’t have asked her to come at all. I was with some clients at that time, and they were being handsy, so I asked Anastasia to come and save me. However, I didn’t expect her to go to the

wrong room and fall into that man’s…” Hayley closed her eyes at that, and beads of tears fell the next second.

Elliot’s heart grew incredibly heavy as well. Was this how everything went down for Anastasia?

Coldness glazed his eyes as he asked, “In that case, do you remember where it all happened?”

“That’s the one thing I don’t want living in my head. I only know that it was in a small nightclub, and I can’t remember the name anymore. I’ve been trying to forget about this, but… I can never forget how Anastasia looked when she came out disheveled.” She wouldn’t stop emphasizing how horribly Anastasia had been defiled back then, for she believed Elliot would definitely mind it. Surely, someone as outstanding and noble as him must have some sort of OCD. Hence, he wouldn’t touch Anastasia ever again!

However, she bit her lower lip in anger when she saw the popping veins on his clenched fists that were on the table. Was Elliot feeling furious for Anastasia?

Nevertheless, she continued to let her tears fall, acting like she was a victim as much as Anastasia was. “I also think I deserve to be d*mned for letting her suffer such a traumatic experience. However, what I don’t understand is why Anastasia still gave birth to his child when she loathed that night so much.”

Flabbergasted, Elliot exclaimed without thinking, “Are you saying that the man back then is Jared’s father?!”

Hayley nodded at that. “I guess so. Do you think Anastasia is able to accept other men when something like that has happened to her? I’m sure she finds all men repulsive.”

With that, Elliot fell into deep thought. It seems like Jared is that b*stard’s son…

“Elliot, I know you care about Anastasia because her mother sacrificed her life to save you. It’s only right that you look after her.”

Elliot didn’t recall telling Hayley about this, but then again, seeing how close she and Anastasia used to be when growing up, it wouldn’t be surprising for her to learn about it.

“I am indeed racked with guilt for her family. In that case, do you know why Anastasia still conceived the child?” Elliot couldn’t figure out Anastasia’s reason for doing so as well. Nonetheless, given how adorable the boy was, he was happy that Jared had come into this world. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“I don’t know. Knowing Anastasia, she’s a headstrong woman. Her father even chased her out back then because of this. He thought she had brought disgrace to their family and had shown him up. As for why she conceived the child, she probably had no other choice. I worry about how the child should face a father who defiled his mother, though. Poor kid! Anastasia shouldn’t have kept him.” All in all, Hayley was trying to hint that Anastasia was nothing but selfish.
