Chapter 431 Scare In fact, Anastasia couldnât help but sense a chilly aura and the manâs eerie silence filled the atmosphere.
Soon, Elliot looked up and sat her down beside him. âHow are things with Jared? Would you like to leave and check on him now?â
âDonât worry about him. He is with my dad. Anyway, have they identified the reason that caused your grandmother to faint?â
Anastasia curiously asked.
Elliot nodded. âI'll tell you more when Iâm done taking care of everything.â
âSure. What matters now is that your grandma wakes up.â
An hour later, Harriet woke up and was seemingly in a good mood, although she had no idea why she fainted in the first place.
âMom, let me handle our dinner next year! The years have caught up to you, and you should rest more.â Brenda thought the hectic preparation for the dinner had taken a toll on Harrietâs health and caused her to pass out.
â| didnât do anything much either.â The lady shook her head.
âYou nearly scared us all to death, Grandma.â
âDonât worry about me. Iâm fine, arenât 1?â Harriet insisted that she was still healthy and refused to worry the others.
At the same time, Elliot was relieved after seeing his grandmother come around, thinking he could finally put his mind to ease.
âGrandma, you should probably stay in the hospital for a week,â he suggested.
âThatâs right, Mom! I promise I'll visit you every day so that you won't feel bored. Please stay here!â
âWhy do you guys look like you're trying to incarcerate me here?â Harriet wasnât happy with everyoneâs suggestion as she expressed her dissatisfaction. After all, they all thought that the more energetic she tried to make herself seem, the more childish she appeared to be.
In the meantime, Anastasia felt just as relieved as the rest while looking at the old lady with a smile on her face while finally feeling the joy of having an elderly senior in the family.
âAunt Brenda, why donât you stay here to keep Grandma company with Nigel while | give Anastasia a ride home?â
âGo ahead.â Brenda nodded her head in response.
When Elliot took Anastasia home, he was surprisingly quiet in the car, which made Anastasia think it was because he was too shocked about his grandmotherâs condition. Therefore, she silently stayed by his side until they arrived at the entrance of her residential area just as Elliot said, âI'll come over to pick you up later.â
âThereâs no need for that. I'll be staying home tonight.â Anastasia didnât want Elliot to be tired out by the hassle of traveling.
âSure, I'll pick you up tomorrow then.â He hoped that she would move in and stay with him.
âAlright, do what you must for now.â She alighted from the car and walked further into the residential area.
After watching the lady walk through the gate, Elliot reached for his phone and dialed Reyâs number. âGather a few men and tell them to come with me to Hayleyâs house.â
On the other hand, Hayley and Daniel were cuddling each other in their sleep at Summit Mansion as they were exhausted from their intimate moment just minutes ago. However, that also left the unsuspecting duo completely unaware of Elliot and his menâs arrival.
Meanwhile, Rey was shocked by what he discovered as he managed to trace a transaction that led them to a source, which was later identified to be from the black card given to Hayley. âPresident Presgrave, Miss Seymour has spent approximately fifty million with this card in the past six months.â Damn! Hayley hasnât really been frugal with the money sheâs been given.
Elliot squinted, deciding to stop aiding Hayley financially from that moment on. At the same time, Rey had the access card to the mansion and was able to drive into the compound. Throughout the entire time, Hayley and Daniel were still sound asleep in the room. Since the manor belonged to Elliot, he had the authority to reset the password. Instead of waking the two of them up, he reset the password and opened the door.
âThey're now upstairs. Should we head up there?â Rey awkwardly asked, considering the fact that Daniel was his colleague.
âGet them down here.â Elliot had no interest in witnessing what he deemed would be an eyesore.
Therefore, Rey reluctantly headed upstairs by himself and made his way to the bedroom where he saw several clothes lying on the ground. At the sight of that, he felt goosebumps running all over his body as he knocked on the door, waking the two of them up instantly.
While Hayley snapped out of her alcoholic influence, Daniel immediately asked, âWho else has access to your house, Hayley?â
âIs itAnna?â Hayley, who was seen with her messy hair, was mad at Anna whom she thought was knocking on the door.
As Daniel wore his clothes in a panicky manner, Hayley wrapped herself in her pajamas and opened the door, only to be greeted by Reyâs face which left them horrified and stunned.
