Ascheming expression flashed across Hayleyâs eyes as she said, âItâs best to keep Anastasia and Elliot from getting engaged.â
âWhat idea do you have, Hayley?â Ericaâs mind was blank at the moment.
After having lost all her money, Hayley did not have much means left, but she couldnât just watch Anastasia and Elliot getting engaged either.
âErica, let's head home first. Let me think of a way.â Hayley stated.
âOkay, as long as you think of a way, | will definitely help you,â Erica said innocently without knowing she was going to be taken advantage of by Hayley.
Hayley patted her in response and remarked, âErica, Anastasia is our common enemy and we will deal with her together.â
âSure.â Erica nodded vigorously.
Hayleyâs cell phone rang at that moment, and she stretched out with her hand to take a look at her phone. âLet me take this call,â
she said.
After that, she walked to the side and picked up the call. âHello.â
âWhere are you? Letâs have dinner together. | have reserved a restaurant for tonight.â Alexâs voice sounded from the other end of the line.
âOkay. Give me the address and I'll come over,â she agreed readily.
âWho are you with?â he asked.
âWith friends,â she replied.
âAre you with Erica?â Alex sounded a little anxious at that.
Hayley comforted him, âDonât worry, she wonât find out about our relationship.â
âDon't tell her about us, Hayley. | have mentioned that she is the one who can assist me in claiming Tillman Constructions, Alex reminded her calmly.
â| understand.â Hayley hummed in response. She realized that as long as she firmly held Alexâs heart, she would also be able to enjoy the future equity of the Tillman Constructions that he would hold.
This could also be regarded as an indirect revenge against Anastasia..
âYour boyfriend?â Erica asked curiously as she looked at Hayley, who just hung up.
the phone.
âJust a friend,â Hayley replied vaguely. âLetâs go! Letâs do more shopping!â
He was hosting two honored guests, Richard and Arthur that night in Elliotâs villa.
The two of them arrived with some toys for Jared. Knowing that they were Elliot's good friends, Jared adored the duo very much.
When Arthur and Richard glanced at Jared, they couldnât decide whether or not to tell Elliot because they were afraid he would be unhappy if they addressed it. If they didnât say it aloud, they would feel uncomfortable suppressing it.
Jared is surely Elliotâs biological son! The two of them had met Elliot when he was eight years old and had stayed together as friends and trained with him until he was sixteen. Elliot's childhood appearance was therefore vividly imprinted in their minds.
That was why when they saw Jared, they felt as if they were looking at Elliot as a child.
Both of them look exactly the same!
However, on their way home, Arthur and Richard had learned that Anastasiaâs son had nothing to do with Elliot. Hence, it could only be said that the father and son were predestined to look alike.
âJared, will you pay a visit to my house in the future?â Arthur asked with a smile.
âWhat do you do for a living. Mr. Weiss and Mr. Lloyd?â Jared inquired curiously as the two of them gave completely different feelings to him.
âI'm an idler. Him, on the other hand...â Arthur pointed at Richard and continued, âIf anyone bullies you in the future, you can look for Mr. Lloyd. He likes punishing bad people the most.â
Richard nodded seriously and concurred, âYes, | can beat up bad guys.â
âOkay. In the future, if there are bad guys that Mr. Presgrave canât deal with, I'll ask for your help,â Jared said with a nod.
Arthur and Richard exchange a joyful glance after they heard Jared. It feels great to know that | am needed.
As soon as Jared left, Arthur immediately turned to face Richard. âDo they look alike?â he asked.
âAlmost identical.â Richard nodded in agreement.
Following their brief conversation, the two of them chased after Jared from behind as their affections for him grew even stronger.
âI'm wondering whether our child will be as handsome as Jared if and when the two of us have children in the future,â Arthur pondered as he crossed his arms.
âThat will be a few years later and | won't necessarily want to have children,â Richard replied with certainty.
Arthur curled his lips and smiled. âAlright, then. Letâs see who gets married later,â he suggested.
âAre there any rewards?â Richard was showing interest.
âYes. Whoever gets married late will give the other one million,â Arthur responded. âBut | donât have any money!â Richard stated stingily.
