Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379 There Is No Future Between Us

“Grandma, I won’t forgive Riley so easily. I’ll make him pay a steep price for what he’s done.” Elliot clenched his fists. After all, he was also the murderer who killed Anastasia’s mother.

“Elliot, your parents died because of him too. Don’t hold back and be sure to make him pay!” There was an apparent hatred in Harriet’s eyes. She also hated her husband for fathering this illegitimate son, who almost drove the descendants of the Presgraves to ruin.

Elliot stood on the balcony on the third floor of the Presgrave Residence. He had more or less pieced together the incident that happened so long ago. Still, it didn’t change anything.

Anastasia’s mother had died because of him, and this was the unchangeable truth.

He picked up his phone and got close to dialing Anastasia’s number a few times. In the end, he finally took a deep breath and dialed it firmly.

If there was anything in his life he would risk everything to fight for, it was this woman.

It didn’t matter if she hated him, for he would still love her no matter what.

After lunch, Anastasia spent time with her son. Her son was in her arms as they watched cartoons on the couch. Just then, her phone rang.

She lifted the phone to look at the screen, realizing it was a call from Elliot. As such, she went to her room to answer the call.

“What’s up?” Her voice was calm and nonchalant.

“Anastasia, I’ve asked my grandma about it. Riley wasn’t telling the truth. My grandma did call the mayor, but she never threatened him with the stock market crash. The stock market was already crashing by then, and the mayor needed my grandma to save the stock market. Coincidentally, I was kidnapped on the very same day. My grandma was very anxious at the time and couldn’t focus on saving the stock market, so the mayor promised her that he would rescue me… Still, I know saying all this won’t change anything.”

Elliot’s voice was especially dim with guilt and remorse.

“Alright, I believe you, and I believe your grandma didn’t do it,” Anastasia said. “However, I don’t want to get involved with the Presgraves from now on. Just leave me alone.”

“You don’t want to see me to that extent?” The man sounded a little pitiful.

“That’s right.”

“What if I want to see you?”

“You can just bear with it or forget about me,” Anastasia said rather cruelly.
