Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 489

Chapter 489

The woman panted, her long hair a mess. ‘D*mn it: Why are they so fast?”

Right at this moment, six men came from behind and surrounded her. Her eyelids were thick with

eyeshadow, but her pair of eyes that were as clear as water showed a hint of resignation.

She was finally caught again.

“Young Miss, the Old Master said that he will freeze all your credit cards if you were to spend money

here at the bar again.”

“I got it, Uncle G,’ she muttered as she bit her lip. She was holding herself back from saying more.

“It is dangerous for you to come out alone, Young Miss.”

Upon hearing that, she started to complain, “I can’t even experience life for a moment?”

Her driver didn’t reply to her tantrum, and he only continued nagging, “The Old Master also wanted you

to get ready for your engagement to Young Master York.

The engagement cannot be dragged on any longer.”

The girl puffed out her cheeks. At the instant, a sudden gust of wind blew and her long locks started

waving in the direction the wind was blowing in. Even though she had heavy makeup on, it was

impossible to hide the delicate features on her small face.

A black limousine then came to a stop in front of her. As she got in the car, she could still feel the pain

in the back of her neck. She turned on the dome light above her head and carefully looked at the round

gemstone in her hand. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was a big and rare diamond. She

couldn’t help but think that the natural and perfectly round diamond probably had a staggering price.

Hmm… How am I supposed to give it

back to that man? She propped her chin in her hand as she had an internal debate.

She suddenly received a text message on her phone at this moment. Young Miss, all your documents

have been taken out.

Go to the cafe at the airport. Your flight is at 12 AM. You have to hurry to the airport!”

The corners of the woman’s red lips curled upward after she read the message. She then said to the

driver sitting in front. “Uncle G, can you go with me to the airport to pick up a friend?”

“Young Miss… Stop it with your tricks.”

“I am not playing any tricks. I really do have a friend who is waiting for me to pick her up at the airport. I

am begging you, Uncle G. She is here to attend my engagement party,” the woman pleaded sweetly.

The middle-aged man driving the car let out a long sigh as he conceded and asked the bodyguard to

drive to the airport.

On the other hand, Arthur, who had just returned to his hotel room, had a haunting feeling like

something was missing from his neck. When he reached out to fiddle the necklace around his neck, he

could feel that the usual heavy necklace had suddenly strangely become lighter. He pulled at the collar

of his top,

and it was only when he looked down that he realized his family heirloom was. gone.

His bright eyes narrowed, and the girl hanging onto his neck in the car suddenly popped into his mind.

He then came to the conclusion that she was not running away from anyone at all.

She was a thief!

Blast!

She is just digging her own hole by

stealing something of mine, he fumed.

The six bodyguards standing in front of Arthur were also shocked when they looked at the necklace

their young master

had removed from his neck.

Did the Young Master lose his priceless. family heirloom? they all wondered at the same time.

People wouldn’t usually wear their family heirloom, but Arthur was no typical young master.

Not only was Arthur angry for losing his family heirloom, he was also hit by deep shame at the moment.

It would be such an embarrassment if word were to get that the woman had stolen his thing under his

nose.

“Find her!” he growled through gritted teeth.

From the way his rage seemed to overflow from his gaze, it was easy to imagine just what kind of tragic

ending awaited the thief.

The bodyguards responded immediately, “Understood. We will go right this instant.”

A woman carrying a bag had made her escape from scrutinizing eyes using another door of the airport

cafe, which was why her bodyguards guarding at the entrance didn’t notice her disappearance. Ten

minutes later, the girl arrived at the plane she was going to board, and she sat in a first class seat. After

she took a deep breath, she sent a text message on her phone. ‘Dad, I don’t want to get engaged. I am

leaving now. Please forgive me for being unfilial.

She turned off her phone after she sent the message, and the whole world seemed to fall silent then.

Her face under the light was a beautiful one, as she did not have any heavy makeup on. The woman

who looked like she was in her twenties had skin so fair and tender that it looked like it might bruise at

the slightest touch.

The plane had taken off into the night sky after it went down the runway. Unbeknownst to the woman,

she had in her hand another man’s family heirloom.

As much as she wanted to give it back to him, she couldn’t make the time to replace him as she was in a

rush to go abroad. She could only hope they would someday meet again.

In an apartment in the city center, Hayley was sitting on the sofa waiting for Alex to come back. Her

head was filled with thoughts about Anastasia’s marriage to Elliot.

She kept thinking of a way to stop their

engagement. Their engagement was a crucial benchmark in their relationship. It would be near

impossible to prevent it from happening, not unless something big were to happen.
