My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288 Playing The Victim Game

At this moment, Hayley had just witnessed the man she loved the most performing CPR on Anastasia and constantly calling her name. The worry and panic in his eyes clearly demonstrated his concern for Anastasia.

Meanwhile, Erica was dumbfounded by this as she stood to the side.

According to Hayley’s plan, Elliot is supposed to save her. Why is he saving Anastasia now?

Anastasia eventually regained consciousness, and the first thing that she saw was Elliot’s nervous yet gorgeous face.

“You’re finally awake.” Elliot’s fingers trembled as he caressed her cold, pale face. At the same time, his deep eyes filled with ecstasy.

A round of applause erupted from the crowd. The two ladies who had fallen into the water had been rescued, and that was good news in itself.

Meanwhile, someone in the crowd watched the scene unfold with mixed emotions. The noble and handsome man was kneeling on the ground and soaked to the skin, overjoyed that he had managed to save Anastasia.

As Anastasia sat up, Elliot’s suit draped over her body. Right then, she raised her head to meet Hayley’s resentful eyes.

Anastasia pushed away Elliot’s helping hand and stumbled to her feet. Without much strength, she walked toward Hayley step by step persistently. Then, she raised her hand and slapped the other woman forcefully.

The strong slap shifted Hayley’s face to the side. Tears streamed down her face as she raised her head and said, “I’m sorry, Anastasia. I know you were kind enough to save me, but you know that I’m afraid of water. I didn’t mean to drag you into the water.”

After saying that, Hayley gave Erica a signal through her teary eyes. The latter understood Hayley’s message right away, so she waddled through the crowd and asked, “Hayley, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Then, Erica turned her head toward Anastasia and confronted her. “I saw you pushing her with my own eyes, yet you have the audacity to slap her. Do you even have a heart?” she chided.

“Keep your mouth shut, Erica,” Elliot warned. His eyes darted at her like a cutting blade as he didn’t want to hear another word from the woman.

Erica was so frightened by Elliot’s threats that she shut her mouth immediately. However, the damage had already been done, for her words dropped like a bomb among the crowd.

What? A male escort raped Miss Tillman?

This information aroused sympathy among the crowd, but it also made people speculate about Anastasia’s past.

“What about pushing Miss Seymour into the water and slapping her without an apology?”

“You’re right! This kind of behavior is unacceptable.”
