“What happened to Great-Grandma?” Jared asked with wide eyes.
“It’s nothing. She just went somewhere very far away.” After Nigel finished speaking, he kissed Jared on the forehead and said, “Off to the classroom you go.”
Jared gave him a hug before he entered the classroom.
Subsequently, Nigel got up and let out a breath, then wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes before he headed to the hospital.
In a villa, Lorelai’s father, Liam Presgrave, breathed a sigh of relief. “She’s finally gone. I’ve been waiting for this day for too long.”
“Dad, even if Old Madam Presgrave is gone, Anastasia is not easy to deal with.” Lorelai had personally experienced how powerful Anastasia was.
“What are you afraid of? She’s an inexperienced young woman. She doesn’t pose a threat to us.” Liam chided with a look of disapproval before he continued happily, “In the future, we’ll definitely be able to get our share in Presgrave Corporation. Maybe we can even get the chance to inherit the company with your help.”
“Dad, how is it possible? How could we own the company?”
“If you get pregnant with Elliot’s child, it’s possible.”
“I…” Lorelai’s eyes turned disappointed. “He only has Anastasia in his heart now.”
“Who said that there is only one way to get pregnant? I heard that Elliot has saved something in Presgrave Hospital from back then as a back up plan by Old Madam Presgrave.”
A blush flushed across Lorelai’s face. “Dad, do you mean I have to…”
“As long as you get pregnant with his seed in your stomach, he will have no choice but to acknowledge the child after it’s born.” Liam had already planned everything, but Harriet had to be dead for his plan to be implemented.
