Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 370

Chapter 370 Meeting at the Police Station

Anastasia quickly explained, “No, Dad. It has nothing to do with him. He adores Jared, but I don’t like him anymore.”

Somehow, she felt bad for Elliot when her father scolded him.

Francis was once again surprised. “Why do you not like him anymore?”

As she raised her head to look at her father, she wondered how her father felt about losing his wife and being forced to live on with his only daughter.

“Dad, have you ever hated the Presgraves?”

After pondering for a few seconds, he responded, “What’s the use of hating them? Your mother was responsible for saving them back then, after all.”

“Do you think it would’ve been possible for Mom to live if she hadn’t been so devoted to her job?” Anastasia inquired as she sat beside Francis.

“Why do you ask? Did you break up with Young Master Elliot because you can’t accept the fact that your mother sacrificed to save him?” Francis was now looking at her with a heartbroken expression.

“Yes.” Anastasia nodded.

“However, I know your mother. If a child was going to be killed in front of her, she would’ve definitely gone out of her way to save him.”

“Is it possible that she rescued him under pressure? He was the only heir of the Presgrave Family, after all.” Anastasia looked at her father, knowing that he must not have been aware that Old Madam Presgrave had threatened the mayor.

“The situation was very chaotic and critical at that time. The kidnapper grabbed Young Master Elliot by the neck and was about to cut his head off. Who would have the heart to see such a tragedy happen? Your mother was the closest to him, so she knocked the killer down with all her might before pulling Young Master Elliot into her arms. The kidnapper then stabbed her like a madman. Later on, the others rescued Young Master Elliot while the kidnapper was shot dead on the spot. Sadly, your mother passed away.”

Anastasia closed her eyes and imagined the scene before her. She began to cry because she was so heartbroken.

“Alright. If you can’t accept it, let’s cut ties with the Presgraves. As long as it doesn’t make you sad,” Francis comforted her. He could understand her feelings.

After dinner, Francis offered, “Why don’t you work at my company? I should teach you how to manage the company now.”

“Are you sure you want to hand the company to me, Dad?” Anastasia looked at him. After all, he had another daughter as well.

“I can only count on you. Do you think I can put my hopes on Erica?” Francis sighed. “She has been spoiled and pampered since young, so she only knows how to spend money lavishly. At least there is some hope if I pass the company to you. I just hope you don’t treat your sister badly in the future.”
