Chapter 85
Now that Hayley was loaded, she was more daring and opinionated, and she definitely wouldn’t
hesitate to pull dirty tricks.
“Alright. It’s set, then,” Alice nodded and agreed to work with Hayley.
On Friday morning, Anastasia received a text from Jared’s teacher. ‘The family activity will start at 2.00
PM today. We hope all parents will be able to attend on time.
After forwarding the message to Elliot, her landline started ringing in no time, and guessing that it was
probably Elliot, she picked up the phone. “Hello?”
“Meet me at the parking lot at 1.00 PM sharp.” A man’s magnetic voice rang out before Anastasia
replied, “Alright.”
After Elliot hung up the call, Anastasia went speechless as she started regretting her decision to let
Elliot act as Jared’s father to join the family activities.
Isn’t that just me asking to get upset? I should have asked Nigel instead.

they could be normal activities instead of those involving too much interaction.
When it was 1.00 PM, Anastasia grabbed her bag and entered the elevator. At the same time, May,
who had been observing Anastasia, quickly followed after her and asked with a smile, “Are you going
out, Anastasia?”
“Yes! I have to leave to do something.”
Then, Anastasia pressed on the first basement floor while May got down on the first floor before she
quickly ran down from the staircase at the side to follow after Anastasia.
While she was on the way down, she saw Anastasia entering Elliot’s private car. Immediately, May’s
eyes widened. Is Anastasia going on a date with President Presgrave during working hours again?
They’re not on the way to the hotel, are they?
She quickly took her phone out and reported what she saw to Hayley. After learning – about what
happened, Hayley felt so angry she could go mad’at any second.
Looks like Anastasia had really been using work as an excuse to go out on dates with Elliot. What a
manipulative person! I can now confirm that the hickey on Elliot’s neck was definitely left by her on
purpose. I guess Elliot only looks like he didn’t have any desire or biological needs, because Anastasia
has been secretly satisfying him. How despicable. How dare she criticize Elliot in front of me but
seduce him behind my back using all sorts of dirty tricks?
Meanwhile, Anastasia started feeling like she was insane to allow Elliot to act as Jared’s father while
they were on the way to kindergarten.
“Why don’t you… not go instead? I’ll explain it to the teacher.” She turned toward the man and
suggested that she didn’t want him to ruin his image by going with her.
Nevertheless, Elliot continued looking ahead of him and said with determination, “I promised Jared to
go.”
“I can explain to Jared that you can’t make it because you’re busy. Jared won’t be mad at you since
he’s a forgiving person. I’m begging you, Elliot, can you not go?” Anastasia gave him a pleading look.
“What’s wrong? Am I embarrassing you?” Elliot turned to give her a look.

Yet, this wasn’t about any one’s reputation, as Anastasia just didn’t want Elliot to act as Jared’s father
because she wouldn’t be able to explain herself if anyone found out about this.
“I’m serious. You really shouldn’t go. I’ll promise to treat you to a meal if you don’t go
-no, I’ll treat you to an entire day of meals. How about that?” She tried her best to persuade Elliot to
change his mind, but Elliot remained unmoved. “I’m going.”
“What do you want me to do for you to not go, then?” Anastasia tried to negotiate with him.
“If you marry me right now, I won’t go,” Elliot turned around and answered thoughtfully, while Anastasia
gave him a speechless look. “That’s impossible.”
Then, he continued driving emotionlessly, and they reached the kindergarten in no time. Just then,
there were already many parents there, although they had arrived 15 minutes earlier. After glancing at
her watch, Anastasia suggested, “Why don’t we wait in the car for a while before entering? Jared is
probably still taking his nap right now.”
Elliot nodded in agreement before she started using her phone to check the latest news to kill time.
Meanwhile, the man next to her, who didn’t have the habit of mindlessly scrolling through his phone,
fixated his gaze on her.
At this moment, Anastasia’s long hair was pushed to the back, leaving a few strands of baby hair to
accentuate her full cheeks. Her cheeks were soft and bouncy, showing how well her skin was.
