My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 190

She actually hooked up with that hot man ahead of me? This won't do! I cannot allow Anastasia to snatch away the man I have my eyes on!
"Mom, that's the man. Do go and ask Dad who he is!" Erica pointed at where Elliot was.
Naomi raised her eyes and looked in that direction. It was the figure of a young man, and he seemed tall and decent from his back, so he should have handsome looks.
Therefore, Naomi held Erica's arm and headed toward her husband. After greeting him, she dragged Francis to one side and asked, "Francis, who's that guest?" She pointed in the direction of Elliot.
Francis laughed. "He's the young master of the Presgrave Family, the most honorable guest tonight."
"The young master of the Presgrave Family? Which Presgrave Family?" asked Naomi in puzzlement. She was unfamiliar with the people of the business world.
"Which else? Their company is situated in the tallest office building in the city center. Don't you always see it when you go shopping?" Francis explained Elliot's identity in the simplest and easiest manner.
At that instant, Naomi and Erica exchanged glances. They instantaneously understood who he was referring to. After all, that building was a landmark, the most iconic structure at the city center.
"Oh, God! The Presgrave Corporation belongs to him? He's super rich!"
"His wealth is on par with a nation's! His company is in global business," Francis exclaimed.
"Mom, I have to get to know him! I have to get to know Young Master Presgrave!" Erica was so excited that she nearly went crazy. Never in a million years did she think that she would meet the President of the Presgrave Corporation at her father's company event.
Just then, Naomi narrowed her eyes in displeasure. "Is that Anastasia accompanying Young Master Presgrave? Why is she with him?"
"I just found out that Anastasia actually works in a jewelry company under Young Master Presgrave, so I asked her to entertain him," Francis replied.
"Dad, why didn't you ask me to entertain him instead? I'm your daughter too!" Erica immediately felt jealous of Anastasia. Did Dad intentionally give Anastasia a chance to spend time with Young Master Presgrave?
"Ask you to go? What can you talk to him about? Even I myself don't know how I should entertain him," Francis reprimanded helplessly.
It was fortunate that his elder daughter could entertain the guest on his behalf. Truth was, Francis had glanced in that direction a few times and found that Anastasia seemed to be getting along well with Elliot.
However, nobody knew what they were actually talking about. In fact, nobody could guess how displeased Anastasia was with Elliot's presence. She was currently persuading him to leave if he had no other business there. Unfortunately, the thick-skinned man insisted on staying.
"I'll tell my father that you have to leave because of something urgent. He won't blame you for that," she urged.
"Miss Tillman, are you driving away your father's guest? If you continue to try to drive me out, I'll complain to your father and have him uphold justice." The man elegantly held a teacup and took a sip of the tea that he disliked.
Anastasia bit her red lips. "Elliot, I'm begging you. Stop repaying my dad. He doesn't know that you are actually repaying kindness, so it won't be fair to him."
"Anastasia, let me tell you something—someone has their eyes on your father's business. They are trying to carry out their plan of acquiring a few small-scaled construction material companies, and your father's firm is one of them. Do you still think that I shouldn't help out your father now?" he leaned in and whispered at her.
Anastasia was startled by the news. She raised her head and looked into the man's serious eyes that suggested that what he had said was not a lie. "Are you serious?" she asked.
"The industry of construction material has always been a profitable industry. Besides, there will always be investors wherever there is profit," he nonchalantly commented.
Anastasia was stunned to hear that. She knew that the business world was always treacherous with a set of harsh survival rules, but she never thought that it would happen to her father.
At present, someone was looking at her with a disappointed gaze from a distance not far away from them. After barely getting to know her, Alex found that Anastasia had an outstanding man by her side. He had just heard from the others that the man who looked even younger than him was actually Elliot Presgrave, the high and mighty leader of the Presgrave Corporation.
