Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189

With Elliot’s powerful status in the business world, as well as the influence of the Presgrave Family, Francis instantly welcomed him excitedly. “Young Master Presgrave, you actually have the time to join us! It’s an honor to have you here!”

Although his wife had saved him, Francis still viewed this man as a powerful figure that he couldn’t afford to offend or mess with.

“Mr. Tillman, you are being too courteous. I heard that today is the celebration for your company’s 20th anniversary. I hope that you will forgive me for coming uninvited.”

“You are overthinking it! I’m really glad that you can come, Young Master Presgrave. I’m really excited, in fact!” Francis was genuinely delighted, and his companions were equally astonished as well-none of them had expected to see the legendary mysterious head of the Presgrave Family at Francis’ company celebration.

“Mr. Tillman, I reckon that you don’t know that President Presgrave is the employer of your daughter, Miss Anastasia.”

“What?” Anastasia is working in President Presgrave’s company?” Francis initially didn’t know how he should entertain the young master of the Presgrave Family, but now that he knew that his daughter worked for Elliot, he thought that it would be a great idea to have her accompany him.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was sitting in the hall chatting with Alex about her father’s company’s recent affairs. Alex was telling her everything that he knew, while Anastasia listened to him attentively. Suddenly, she heard her father calling for her. “Anastasia! Anastasia, come over.”

She inadvertently looked up in her father’s direction. She saw her father at first, but her eyes soon met another man’s pair of cold, piercing eyes. Although there was a distance between them, the man’s gaze resembled a deadly sharp blade when he peered at her.

If the gaze were to land on someone else, this person would be scared out of their wits. However, upon seeing the noble man next to her father, not only was Anastasia not afraid, she was even enraged.

Didn’t he say that he would take care of Jared?! Why is he here at Dad’s company event? How about my son?

In the end, she pulled her chair back and headed over to her father.

“Anastasia, come here. We have an honorable guest. Please help me to entertain Young Master Presgrave.” Francis waved at her to gesture at her to come over.

When Anastasia stood in front of her father, she immediately calmed down, as she didn’t want her father to know about her relationship with Elliot.

“Hello, President Presgrave, welcome to my father’s company event.” She held her hand out in a distant yet polite manner.
