Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279 He Appeared

“For my birthday? When did I invite him? I don’t want to see him here. Chase him away.” Harriet’s expression was solemn. “If you can’t, ask Elliot to handle him.”

After her words, she ended the call and sighed. “Some things could never be forgiven.”

“It appears that the Second Master has not yet given up, Old Madam Presgrave.”

“Well, the Presgrave Family has nothing to do with him, whether he gives up or not.” She then smiled gently and said to Jared, who was standing next to her. “Jared, I hope I didn’t scare you. Someone I dislike called, which is why I was so stern.”

“Get him some fruits he likes.” She then instructed Anna before returning her attention to Anastasia and saying, “Have a seat, Anastasia. Let’s have a chat.”

The moment she sat down, Harriet candidly asked, without taking her as an outsider. “Do you know who the person that I said I hate was?”

Anastasia’s head shook. “I’m unfamiliar with the Presgraves.” She assumed Elliot’s rage this morning was also because of the same person.

“He is Riley Presgrave, my husband’s illegitimate son who’s supposed to be Elliot’s uncle. He had previously secretly sold off the company shares, which I eventually discovered. My son and daughter-in-law went abroad to handle this matter, and the helicopter they took crashed, killing them both.” Harriet calmly revealed this tragic past. However unacceptable this incident was to her, twenty years had passed.

Hearing that, Anastasia was shocked. This was why Elliot had lost his parents when he was young? The call this morning… It must be related to this person too! Otherwise, he wouldn’t be that furious.

“Elliot hates him. Though he was part of the Presgrave Family, all of us had chased him abroad more than twenty years ago. I know he has returned now, hoping to gain some advantage from me since it’s my birthday. Well, I never want to see him for the rest of my life!” Harriet’s eyes were filled with hatred as she spoke.

“Don’t be angry, Old Madam Presgrave. Elliot will stop him,” Anastasia comforted her by saying.
