Chapter 76 – Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

On the other hand, Hayley had invited Alice, Anastasia’s competitor this time, to have a meal at a restaurant. Then, she told Alice about how Anastasia was already set to be the winner of the International Jewelry Design Competition this time.

“How did you find out about that, Miss Seymour? Are you sure?” Alice questioned with visible anger in her eyes.

“I can assure you that my sources are accurate. If you want to win the competition fairly or even stand out among others in Bourgeois, you need to remove Anastasia. If not, the person who will outshine everyone in the company will definitely be her,” Hayley declared with a sharp glint in her eyes.

“How is that even possible?!” Alice harrumphed.

“Miss Thompson, I’m not trying to scare you, but you’ll only be able to surpass her if you leave Bourgeois, or Anastasia will surely overshadow you.”

“Miss Seymour, I’m guessing that this is not the main reason why you invited me out!” Alice was smart enough to catch on to the hidden meaning.

“I know you hate Anastasia, and I do, too. I want her to leave Bourgeois, and I really hope that she won’t be able to stay in the jewelry designing industry any longer, so I’m hoping that you can partner up with me.”

Obviously, Alice knew why Hayley hated Anastasia. How could she, as President Presgrave’s girlfriend, not hate Anastasia when Anastasia and President Presgrave kept flirting around with each other in the company? Thus, she agreed without any hesitation. “Sure. I’m willing to work together with you, Miss Seymour, but what can I do?”

Hayley already had an answer to Alice’s question. “Do you know the chairman of the company that is sponsoring the International Jewelry Design Competition this year?”

As Alice had wide connections in the designing field, she actually did know who the chairman that Hayley mentioned was. The chairman was a notorious pervert that had once tried to ask her to a meal, wanting to help her expand her connections, but she had rejected him.

“I have his contact number, and I can contact him anytime.”

Hayley smirked with satisfaction. “I’m planning to get Anastasia and him in one bed before taking a picture of it and revealing it during the awards ceremony. By then, she definitely won’t be able to win any awards and will even be a laughingstock in the designing field. What do you think?”

Although Alice thought that the plan was risky, she really couldn’t stand Anastasia any longer. If Anastasia was really set to be the winner of the competition this time internally, the reward of a million would end up in her pockets, and that didn’t sit right with Alice.

“Sure! I’m willing to help you by asking the chairman out, but how can you get Anastasia to fall into the trap?” Alice asked curiously.

“I have my own ways. Ask the chairman out this Saturday at night and set up the surveillance camera beforehand. I’ll definitely get Anastasia to show up in his bed in time.”

Now that Hayley was loaded, she was more daring and opinionated, and she definitely wouldn’t hesitate to pull dirty tricks.

“Alright. It’s set, then,” Alice nodded and agreed to work with Hayley.

On Friday morning, Anastasia received a text from Jared’s teacher. ‘The family activity will start at 2.00 PM today. We hope all parents will be able to attend on time.’

After forwarding the message to Elliot, her landline started ringing in no time, and guessing that it was probably Elliot, she picked up the phone. “Hello?”

“Meet me at the parking lot at 1.00 PM sharp.” A man’s magnetic voice rang out before Anastasia replied, “Alright.”

After Elliot hung up the call, Anastasia went speechless as she started regretting her decision to let Elliot act as Jared’s father to join the family activities.

Isn’t that just me asking to get upset? I should have asked Nigel instead.

Not knowing what kind of games would be held during the family activities, she could only hope that they could be normal activities instead of those involving too much interaction.

When it was 1.00 PM, Anastasia grabbed her bag and entered the elevator. At the same time, May, who had been observing Anastasia, quickly followed after her and asked with a smile, “Are you going out, Anastasia?”

“Yes! I have to leave to do something.”

Then, Anastasia pressed on the first basement floor while May got down on the first floor before she quickly ran down from the staircase at the side to follow after Anastasia.

While she was on the way down, she saw Anastasia entering Elliot’s private car. Immediately, May’s eyes widened. Is Anastasia going on a date with President Presgrave during working hours again? They’re not on the way to the hotel, are they?

She quickly took her phone out and reported what she saw to Hayley. After learning about what happened, Hayley felt so angry she could go mad at any second.

Looks like Anastasia had really been using work as an excuse to go out on dates with Elliot. What a manipulative person! I can now confirm that the hickey on Elliot’s neck was definitely left by her on purpose. I guess Elliot only looks like he didn’t have any desire or biological needs, because Anastasia has been secretly satisfying him. How despicable. How dare she criticize Elliot in front of me but seduce him behind my back using all sorts of dirty tricks?

Meanwhile, Anastasia started feeling like she was insane to allow Elliot to act as Jared’s father while they were on the way to kindergarten.

“Why don’t you… not go instead? I’ll explain it to the teacher.” She turned toward the man and suggested that she didn’t want him to ruin his image by going with her.

Nevertheless, Elliot continued looking ahead of him and said with determination, “I promised Jared to go.”

“I can explain to Jared that you can’t make it because you’re busy. Jared won’t be mad at you since he’s a forgiving person. I’m begging you, Elliot, can you not go?” Anastasia gave him a pleading look.

“What’s wrong? Am I embarrassing you?” Elliot turned to give her a look.

Yet, this wasn’t about any one’s reputation, as Anastasia just didn’t want Elliot to act as Jared’s father because she wouldn’t be able to explain herself if anyone found out about this.

“I’m serious. You really shouldn’t go. I’ll promise to treat you to a meal if you don’t go—no, I’ll treat you to an entire day of meals. How about that?” She tried her best to persuade Elliot to change his mind, but Elliot remained unmoved. “I’m going.”

“What do you want me to do for you to not go, then?” Anastasia tried to negotiate with him.

“If you marry me right now, I won’t go,” Elliot turned around and answered thoughtfully, while Anastasia gave him a speechless look. “That’s impossible.”
