Chapter 432 Caught on Tape
“M-Mr. Osborne, what brings you here?” Hayley asked in a terrified manner and went on to explain what might
have appeared to Rey, although Daniel could be seen buttoning up his shirt in the background. “Mr. Lancaster and I
were discussing something in the room.”
“Mr. Presgrave is waiting downstairs. Get down there when you’re done putting on your clothes.” Rey finished his
words and walked away.
Upon hearing the man’s words, Hayley turned pale in the face. What?! Elliot is waiting downstairs? She then turned
her attention to Daniel and glared at him. “We will say nothing about our relationship!”
“You don’t say!” Daniel replied. What kind of dumb question is that?! I don’t want to die yet!
Upon putting on their clothes, they headed downstairs as if they had just finished discussing their business. Then,
Hayley made her way to Elliot, although she was still trying to get over her surprised feeling about the man’s
untimely visit. “Here you are, Elliot.” Despite the short period, she managed to put on some makeup and applied
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsome lipstick to her lips before showing herself in a decent coat.
At the same time, Daniel was too scared to look up as he seemed afraid to step forward. Meanwhile, Elliot set his
cold eyes on the lady who was coming his way, his eyes gaze filled with rage and exasperation.
“Rey, please show Miss Seymour the video.” Elliot had never thought about killing someone, but at that moment, he
was tempted to make an exception.
While Hayley had no idea what she was going to be watching, Rey proceeded to turn up the volume and show her a
video of herself swapping the medicine at Presgrave Residence with the highest resolution. In that instant, Hayley’s
eyes were left wide open in horror as she covered her mouth and spent the next few minutes watching the video
until the end.
Deep down, she didn’t expect that her wrongdoings would be caught on tape, and she shivered so much that she
struggled to muster the courage and meet Elliot’s gaze. However, she eventually decided to take a peek, only to
notice the man’s glacial expression like he was suppressing his murderous intent. On the other hand, Elliot, who
met Hayley’s eyes, instantly felt a strong desire to kill her.
“I’m sorry, Elliot. I-I… I…” Hayley stammered and struggled to complete her sentence in the face of Elliot’s
indifferent sharp gaze. While she was usually good at giving excuses, nothing seemed to come to her mind at that
moment. After all, her wickedness and heartlessness were exposed by the video, which left her with almost no way
to explain herself. “I’m sorry. I-I was foolish to make that mistake. Please forgive me, Elliot. I just couldn’t think
straight.”
“Miss Seymour, do you know that Old Madam Presgrave has been admitted to the hospital because she mistakenly
took the medicine you swapped and fainted?” Rey asked rhetorically in an attempt to make Hayley understand the
gravity of the situation.
Upon hearing Rey’s reply, Hayley felt her blood freeze. “What?! Grandma mistakenly took the medicine?! I’m sorry.
I never thought of doing any harm to Grandma. I swear I didn’t…” The lady stubbornly tried to talk her way out,
gazing at Elliot tearfully. “I’m sorry, Elliot! I didn’t mean it! I didn’t do that on purpose…”
“Hayley, I’m going to spare your life for the sake of that incident five years ago, but I demand you to return my
card and my watch to me. Then, pack your stuff and get out of my manor,” Elliot answered coldly without a sign of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmexpression that indicated his anger.
Scared by the man’s words, Hayley bit her lips in fear as she didn’t think her nightmare would catch up to her so
soon. Although the truth about the incident that happened five years ago wasn’t exposed, she was surprised that
Elliot still wanted to take everything away from her. “You can’t do this to me, Elliot! I gave you my first time five
years ago, so is that how you’re going to treat me?”
“You tried to kill my grandmother, so do you think I’m going to give a damn about what happened five years ago?
With this video, I could put you in jail and have you locked up in a cell for eternity,” Elliot answered coldly.
Meanwhile, Hayley went weak in the knees and collapsed onto the ground after hearing Elliot’s words. After all,
Elliot was like a god that had made her somebody. Now, he was going to take everything away from her. I’m no
longer who I used to be, and I’ll never be the person I was. I’m now living like a princess, so how can I go back to
the old days when I was poor and broke?
“Please, Elliot! Please don’t do this to me! I’m sorry! I made a mistake, but I’ve learned my lesson…” Hayley sank to
her knees and crawled toward Elliot, beseeching him to cut her some slack. “Please don’t take my card away from
me. Please don’t chase me out of this manor! I promise I’ll never harm anyone ever again, Elliot! I don’t want to
lose everything I have now…”
