Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259 He Has Nothing on Elliot

Francis mentioned his feud with Lawrence in passing, and the revelation shocked Anastasia. It turned out that Lawrence used to be her father’s business partner when the company was first established. Later, Lawrence used the company’s public funds to gamble, which Francis found out about. Then, sometime after serving a one-year sentence in jail, Lawrence earned a load of black money and used it to enter the commercial industry to exclusively steal Francis’s businesses and clients. In the end, it was thanks to Elliot that Francis managed to bag a lot of orders and projects while Lawrence lay low for a few years before resurfacing as an acquirer.

Anastasia knew she had Elliot to thank for saving her father from a horrible fate once again.

“Here’s to you, Young Master Elliot.” Francis raised his wine glass toward Elliot.

With that, Elliot got up and clinked his glass against Francis’s humbly. As Anastasia watched Elliot drink, she couldn’t help worrying about his stomach. It was why she was particular about the spiciness level when she ordered the food.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Tillman. As long as I’m around, your company will be fine,” Elliot promised.

“I feel absolutely relaxed, knowing I have your help. It’s just that I feel bad to keep asking for your help.” At that, Francis turned to Anastasia. “Anastasia, you should toast Young Master Elliot too!”

To men, toasting someone meant that they respected that person.

However, Anastasia thought otherwise and smiled. “Dad, don’t drink so much. Here, have some food.”

“C’mon, toast Young Master Elliot. He has done us a great favor.” Francis urged his daughter.

Left with no choice, Anastasia poured a glass of wine and toasted Elliot. “Here’s to you, President Presgrave.”
