Chapter 432
Night of Destiny
Chapter 432 Caught on Tape
âM-Mr. Osborne, what brings you here?â 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. âMr. Lancaster and I were discussing something in the room.â
âMr. Presgrave is waiting downstairs. Get down there when youâre done putting on your clothes.â Rey
finished his words and walked away.
Upon hearing the manâs words, Hayley turned pale in the face. What?! Elliot is waiting downstairs? She
then turned her attention to Daniel and glared at him. âWe will say nothing about our relationship!â
âYou donât say!â Daniel replied. What kind of dumb question is that?! I donât 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 manâs untimely visit. âHere you are, Elliot.â Despite the short period, she managed to
put on some makeup and applied some 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.
âRey, please show Miss Seymour the video.â 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, Hayleyâs 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 didnât expect that her wrongdoings would be caught on tape, and she shivered so
much that she struggled to muster the courage and meet Elliotâs gaze. However, she eventually
decided to take a peek, only to notice the manâs glacial expression like he was suppressing his
murderous intent. On the other hand, Elliot, who met Hayleyâs eyes, instantly felt a strong desire to kill
her.
âIâm sorry, Elliot. I-I⦠Iâ¦â Hayley stammered and struggled to complete her sentence in the face of
Elliotâs 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. âIâm sorry. I-I was foolish to make that mistake.
Please forgive me, Elliot. I just couldnât think straight.â
âMiss Seymour, do you know that Old Madam Presgrave has been admitted to the hospital because
she mistakenly took the medicine you swapped and fainted?â Rey asked rhetorically in an attempt to
make Hayley understand the gravity of the situation.
Upon hearing Reyâs reply, Hayley felt her blood freeze. âWhat?! Grandma mistakenly took the
medicine?! Iâm sorry. I never thought of doing any harm to Grandma. I swear I didnâtâ¦â The lady
stubbornly tried to talk her way out, gazing at Elliot tearfully. âIâm sorry, Elliot! I didnât mean it! I didnât do
that on purposeâ¦â
âHayley, Iâm 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,â Elliot answered
coldly without a sign of expression that indicated his anger.
Scared by the manâs words, Hayley bit her lips in fear as she didnât think her nightmare would catch up
to her so soon. Although the truth about the incident that happened five years ago wasnât exposed, she
was surprised that Elliot still wanted to take everything away from her. âYou canât do this to me, Elliot! I
gave you my first time five years ago, so is that how youâre going to treat me?â
âYou tried to kill my grandmother, so do you think Iâm 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,â Elliot
answered coldly.
Meanwhile, Hayley went weak in the knees and collapsed onto the ground after hearing Elliotâs words.
After all, Elliot was like a god that had made her somebody. Now, he was going to take everything away
from her. Iâm no longer who I used to be, and Iâll never be the person I was. Iâm now living like a
princess, so how can I go back to the old days when I was poor and broke?
âPlease, Elliot! Please donât do this to me! Iâm sorry! I made a mistake, but Iâve learned my lessonâ¦â
Hayley sank to her knees and crawled toward Elliot, beseeching him to cut her some slack. âPlease
donât take my card away from me. Please donât chase me out of this manor! I promise Iâll never harm
anyone ever again, Elliot! I donât want to lose everything I have nowâ¦â
