Chapter 120

So, until I get to meet Old Madam Presgrave, I’U take my time to eat up all the food here. I can spend
as much time as I want since Dad is taking care of Jared, Anastasia thought.

There was another sports car outside the hotel-it was Hayley’s ride to the event. She had put effort into
her outfit, and she had come up with a good idea of what to do. Shè strutted over to the main lobby.
There was a checkpoint where staff members were to check for the guests! invitation cards at the
entrance, but Hayley walked in without stopping by. A female security guard hastily stepped forward
with a smile. “Please show me your invitation card, Miss. Thank you.”

Hayley instantly raised her eyebrow before speaking in a haughty tone. “Do I need an invitation? My
boyfriend didn’t tell me anything about that!”

“Who’s your boyfriend?” the security asked.

“My boyfriend’s Elliot, the young master of the Presgrave Family,” she replied in a firm and loud tone.
Suddenly, the hotel manager, who had been standing beside the security guard, hurried over. “Hello,
Miss. I’m the hotel manager. Are you President Presgrave’s girlfriend?”

“Yeah! My name’s Hayley. Isn’t Old Madam Presgrave’s dinner party happening tonight? I’m sorry. I
didn’t know I needed any invitation cards. Can you just let me enter?” she uttered in an innocent tone.

Right then, Daniel, who had already come to an earlier agreement with Hayley, put on a worried
expression as he hurried over to Elliot, who was chit-chatting with a few seniors. “Miss Seymour is
here, President Presgrave. She’s being stopped at the main lobby.”

Elliot knitted his brows together while holding onto his glass of wine. “What’s she doing here? Did you
tell her to come?”



“Yeah! I mentioned the party when I delivered some of her daily necessities to her yesterday, President
Presgrave. Did I say something wrong?” Daniel replied. Elliot couldn’t say that his grandmother hadn’t
invited Hayley. However, since Daniel had already brought up the party, Elliot had no choice but to
bring Hayley in.

“I want you to go down and bring her up,” Elliot ordered. Daniel quickly put on a flustered expression.
“I’m sorry, President Presgrave.”

Elliot only gave him a side-eye without saying much. Daniel might have been a little too much of a
busybody this time, so Elliot had no choice but to ask Hayley to come up. Daniel hurried over to the
main lobby before approaching the hotel manager, who had been talking to Hayley. “Excuse me. Miss
Seymour is one of President Presgrave’s VIP guests. This was a mistake on the company’s end-we
missed out on her invitation card!”

The hotel manager knew that Daniel was Elliot’s assistant, so the hotel manager quickly turned to
Hayley with an apologetic look on his face. “I’m sorry for the mistake, Miss Seymour. Please come in.”

Hayley put on a haughty expression as she gave the female security guard a disdainful glare. “Is this
how you guys do your job? You totally ruined my mood.” Then, she allowed Daniel to lead

her into the elevator. Daniel felt cold sweat forming on his forehead once they made it there.

Hayley loved it when people provided her with special treatment, so she gave Daniel a satisfied look.
“That was quite good. Elliot didn’t say much, did he?”

“President Presgrave was a little shocked, but he didn’t say much,” Daniel replied. Hayley let out a
scoff as she thought, It’s just as I had expected. It was Old Madam Presgrave, not Elliot, who didn’t
want to invite me.



After this event, Hayley developed a sense of hatred toward Harriet as she felt hurt by Harriet’s actions.
Anastasia’s going to be here tonight, so I have to seize this opportunity to show her how sweet I am
with Elliot. Also, from tonight onward, I want everyone to know that I’m Elliot’s girlfriend. I bet that will
piss the old woman off.

Daniel brought Hayley over to Elliot. Many of the guests there were extremely wealthy people with high
statuses, yet Elliot still seemed to stand out in the crowd. It seemed like the people around him were
just props and backdrops that served to enhance his presence.

His aura was too strong for others to steal his spotlight away-it was almost as if the light followed him
wherever he went. Hayley felt herself going head over heels as she stared at him longingly. She
admired him, and she wished she could have him all to herself.

“I’m sorry, Elliot. Should I have stayed home instead?” She gazed at him with an innocent and flustered
look on her face. He curled his lips into a smile. “The HR department missed out on your invitation
card. It’s fine. My grandma’s the one hosting this charity dinner, so you should just enjoy yourself
tonight!”
