The Girl Bumped to Him Is Pregnant novel (Anastasia)

Chapter 126

Chapter 126 Anastasia forced herself to head downstairs. She found Harriet surrounded by a group of people. Harriet was dressed in a tight, elegant dress that made her appear especially young and classy. She looked really kind and friendly although she had a headful of gray hair. Before Anastasia approached her, Harriet had already pushed the crowd aside to go toward Anastasia. It was almost as if Anastasia was the VIP there. Everyone in the crowd tossed curious looks in Anastasia’s direction. Which rich family is this young lady from? Why is Old Madam Presgrave giving her such-a _ grand welcome? they wondered. “Old Madam Presgrave,” Anastasia greeted with a smile. “There you are, girl! You look so gorgeous tonight!” Harriet reached her hand out to hold Anastasia’s hand as she spoke to the crowd around her, “This is my god-granddaughter, Anastasia.” Once the crowd heard what Harriet said, the young girls gazed at Anastasia with looks of admiration. How did she get so lucky? Why did Old Madam Presgrave choose her as her god granddaughter? At the same time, the owner of a pair of hatred and jealousy-filled eyes glared at Anastasia from outside the crowd-it was none other than Hayley, who watched as Harriet introduced Anastasia to all of the people around her. Old Madam Presgrave’s eyes are filled with love for Anastasia, but what about me? Although Hayley was just a fake product, she had genuinely begun to perceive herself as the Anastasia from five years ago. That explained why she thought she was being treated unfairly. “Hey! Where’s Elliot? Why don’t I see him?” Harriet suddenly realized that her eldest grandson wasn’t around. Anastasia’s heart skipped a beat as she thought, The finger marks on Elliot’s face are really obvious; I don’t think he should show up here. Fortunately for Anastasia, Harriet only told others to look for him without asking for him to be there. “Come here, Anastasia. Let’s sit down and have a chat.” Harriet held Anastasia’s hand and led her to the couch. Right then, Hayley purposely showed up beside them while calling out for Harriet. “Old Madam Presgrave!” Harriet turned around in surprise. The moment she saw that it was Hayley, a natural smile appeared

on her face. “You’re here too, Hayley.” Hayley immediately wrapped her hands around Harriet’s arm. “You don’t mind that I’m here, right, Old Madam Presgrave? Elliot told me that he missed out on my invitation. I wouldn’t have known about this whole thing if Daniel hadn’t told me!” “I guess there must have been a mistake,” Harriet replied. Initially, Harriet hadn’t wanted Hayley to be at the event, but Harriet couldn’t do anything since Hayley was already there. “I missed you so much, Old Madam Presgrave!” Hayley gave the old lady a fond peck on her cheek. “Which family is this young lady from, Old Madam Presgrave?” one of the ladies in the crowd asked curiously. Hayley quickly replied to the lady with a smile. “I’m also one of Old Madam Presgrave’s god-granddaughters!” After Hayley finished her sentence, a rather complicated look flashed across Harriet’s face. Harriet could easily tell what Hayley was trying to do. It seems like Hayley is more manipulative than I thought her to be, Harriet thought. Both Hayley and Anastasia stood to the left and right of Harriet, and Anastasia simply continued smiling after hearing what Hayley said. Anastasia could only scoff in her heart when she saw what Hayley was trying to do. Hayley wanted to steal the spotlight away from Anastasia, and she wanted the crowd to recognize who she was so that they would be more aware of her status in the future. In the public’s eye, anyone who could get close to Harriet had to have a good relationship with the Presgrave Family. While Hayley wasn’t paying attention, Harriet casually pulled her hand out of Hayley’s arm before addressing both the girls. “Come over here and have a chat with me.” Harriet led Anastasia toward the couch, and Hayley immediately tagged along. She didn’t want Hayley to get all the good stuff. Harriet initially had some personal matters that she wished to talk to Anastasia about, but she had to put it off since Hayley was just beside them. Harriet ended up asking Anastasia about her work. I’ll find another chance to talk to Anastasia, I guess, Harriet thought. Harriet asked Hayley how she was doing as well, and Hayley put on her happiest look as she spoke to Harriet. The crowd observed their interactions and wondered, Can Hayley be any more friendly and warm? Meanwhile, Nigel’s parents had called him over to another room. There was a rich couple sitting

inside, and a young, gorgeous girl was sitting beside them. The girl’s eyes lit up when she saw Nigel as she was attracted to him. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
