Chapter 128

Anastasia turned around to find Hayley with a glass of red wine in her hand. Hayley had her arms
crossed as she sneered at Anastasia. “Do you think I don’t know what you’re doing? You’re trying to
polish your reputation while being the third party in a relationship at the same time. You’re secretly
seducing Elliot.” Hayley’s eyes glinted with resentment. Now that it was just the both of them, she didn’t
need to fake it anymore and could express all the hatred she felt.

Anastasia scoffed. “Are you sure you want to mess with me? If I shamelessly decide to get married to
Elliot, you will only be left crying in a corner!”

“You…” Hayley didn’t just fail to offend Anastasia, but she even allowed Anastasia to infuriate her
further. “Don’t you care about the fact that I’ve slept with Elliot, Anastasia?” Hayley hissed through
gritted teeth.

“I don’t,” Anastasia replied with an eyebrow raised. She was intentionally trying to make Hayley angry.
Right then, a hateful look gathered in Hayley’s eyes as she clenched her fists. I’m never going to let
Anastasia take Elliot away, she thought.

Anastasia wasn’t in the mood to continue talking to Hayley, so she turned to head toward the balcony,
which wasn’t as crowded. However, an attractive, male voice came from the hall at this moment- it was
the host calling for Anastasia through the mic. “I’d like to invite Miss Anastasia Tillman up onto the
stage. You’ve dropped something.”

Anastasia froze. All of the guests were just as shocked, and they wondered if Anastasia had dropped
something extremely valuable. Why would the host have to make such a grand announcement
otherwise?



Anastasia was just as confused. What did I drop? She went through her bag and searched for any
missing items. Everything’s here!



“Is Miss Anastasia Tillman here? Please come on stage. Thank you.” The host continued to ask for her.
Anastasia had no choice but to ignore the embarrassment she felt while shuffling over to the stage. I
really didn’t drop anything! Has there been a mistake? she thought.

The host walked over to her once she got up onto the stage. “Are you Miss Anastasia?” he asked with
a smile.

“Yes, I am. But I didn’t leave anything behind!” she cried. She felt especially uneasy since she could
feel thousands of eyes on her.

“No.You left behind a really important part of your life,” the host uttered in a riddle-like manner. All of a
sudden, the speakers began to play a romantic song from an overseas singer. The man’s deep and
husky voice filled the hall, and many other guests gathered in front of the stage as they wanted to see
what was going on.

There was a loud ringing in Anastasia’s head as she watched this happen. Who’s the one playing the
song? All of a sudden, she saw a lanky figure strolling toward her with a broad grin on his face. Who
else could it be apart from Nigel?

Anastasia’s face turned red. What’s Nigel trying to do this time? And why is he doing it in front of
everyone? Has he ever thought about how I feel about this?

Nigel fixed his loving gaze on the woman as he took firm steps over to her. Eventually, when he was
about two feet away from her, he got down on one knee. The whole crowd cheered like mad! They



were all shocked. Isn’t that the young master of the Manson Family? What is he doing? It looks like
he’s… proposing to her?!

At the same time, another tall figure had just started his way down the stairs on the second floor, and
he froze when he saw what was happening on the stage. Elliot’s pupils shrank as he realized what
Nigel was doing. I hadn’t expected Nigel to propose to Anastasia today.

Anastasia was just as stunned. She stared at Nigel for a moment before she reached out to pull him up
from his knee. “What are you doing, Nigel? Hurry and stand up! Stop messing around!”

Right then, Nigel reached into his coat pocket and felt for the diamond ring. He carefully presented it in
front of her before taking the host’s mic to speak into it. “I love you, Anastasia. Will you marry me?” he
asked in a sincere tone.

A loud ringing filled Anastasia’s head as she widened her eyes and stared at Nigel in disbelief. She
could tell that he was serious-he was genuinely proposing to her without fooling around at all. “Nigel,
you…” Anastasia was too stunned to say or do anything.

There were tons of girls in the crowd who were eyeing Anastasia with looks of admiration and envy.
Leah, who had just walked out of the buffet area, was also stunned when she saw what was
happening. The man she loved was proposing to another woman on stage.
