Chapter 575

After settling the money matter, Hayley heaved a sigh of relief as she left her room, thinking that
Anastasia was so foolish to have fallen for such a trick. Five hundred thousand would be enough for
Hayley to survive for years.

Not only that, there was a chance to recover her looks! As she was feeling giddy about her ‘flawless’
plan, Hayley figured that she could make Anastasia her very own magic money tree in the future after
having successfully deceived Anastasia like a fool.

Hayley ordered Anastasia to put the money into a locker at a grocery store before texting the password.
An hour later, she would be swimming in cash and doing anything she fancied with the card.

In order to get the money furtively, she planned to wear a disguise apart from hiring someone with two
hundred dollars to help her move the money.

Half an hour later, amidst the crowded locker room, there was a guy shoving a bulging bag into one of
the lockers. He set a password before taking his leave.

Mixing around the nearby throng was Hayley, whose eyes were staring at the locker with excitement.
She believed it!

Considering how much money she would own in the near future, five hundred thousand was a trifle to
Anastasia. It would not pain her at all.

Soon, Hayley received a message from Anastasia that read, ‘I’ve left the money as told. You better do as
you’ve promised. Otherwise, you’ll never get away from it.

A sniggering Hayley glanced at a young man next to her, who seemed quite dense, before asking
whether he wished to earn himself some easy cash.

He nodded vigorously, after which she instructed him to move a hefty bag from the locker to her car.



He did as she told immediately upon receiving the money. The loaded bag was so heavy that he could
barely move it. After looking left and right, she wore a cap before trailing behind him. She even covered
her face with a mask for this mission.

Once the man had arrived at the entrance, she instructed him, “Drop it there. Thanks.”

“Miss, what is in that bag? It’s so heavy,” asked the curious man.

Hayley glossed it over by saying, “Just mask packs from my friend.”

After that, he took the thousand dollar cash and left like a happy bunny.

At the same time, Hayley hauled the bag to the side to have a look of the content. It was loaded with
cash as she had expected! Just as she was about to carry the bag, a shadow loomed over her and
caused her to raise her head at the oncoming person.

The two men donned in casual attires showed their police badges. “Hayley Seymour, you’re under arrest
for blackmailing Miss Tillman a large sum of money. Please follow us to the station for investigation.”

Her face went pallid within split seconds. What? How did she find out that it’s me?

“N-No! I didn’t blackmail anyone. She gave it to me willingly!” With that being said, she forwent the
money and dashed with all her might. Still, the bodyguards, who were already guarding outside, thwarted
her and rendered her forlorn escape invalid.

“Let go of me! Who are you?!”

“We’re Miss Tillman’s bodyguards. You can’t escape, Hayley.”

“How did that b*tch know that it’s me?!”



“Do not speak of Miss Tillman like that.” Then, the bodyguard flung her toward the ground.

A spasm of pain contorted her face and her heart sank to the pit of her stomach, for she had not
foreseen herself to be the one who would fall in the trap.

Now, Hayley had completely understood why Anastasia was willing to increase the amount to five
hundred thousand-the higher the amount of money involved, the heavier the penalty would be. Still, the
hindsight was too late.

“Anastasia Tillman!” growled Hayley before she was cuffed and taken away by the police.

In the meantime, Anastasia, who was in the makeup room, was informed that Hayley was taken into
custody. Everything had gone as planned and it added to the icing on the cake on her engagement day.

“Miss Tillman, shall we start with the makeup?”

“Sure,” replied Anastasia as the elite makeup team tended to her at Elliot’s villa.
