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.”

Elliot brought the glass to her and clinked it against hers elegantly. Anastasia didn’t realize it, but she got

visibly worried when she saw him down the entire glass of wine. However, Elliot noticed it, and he

couldn’t help smiling in response, clearly pleased with her reaction.

Anastasia leaned toward Elliot, and so did he when he noticed she seemed to have something to tell

him. From Anastasia’s angle, his long lashes covered his eyelids, blurring his sharp, cold features.

Anastasia couldn’t help gawking a little, for his tenderness right then carried a hint of alluring charm.

“Watch your stomach,” Anastasia whispered.

Elliot said nothing but latched his fathomless gaze at her and blinked, indicating he got it.

“Here, Young Master Elliot, have some food.”

Meanwhile, Rey and Alex chatted away, and it was then they realized they had studied at the same

university one year apart. Alex envied Rey’s job, for Rey surely would have a bright future when he could

work for someone like Elliot.

However, Alex was a little greedier, for he didn’t just want a high salary but also a broader future. What

was more, he was good at concealing his ambitions. Hence, he was a hard-working, aspirant young man

in Francis’s eyes.

“Young Master Elliot, Anastasia is working in your company. I hope you can look after her.” Francis tried

to put in a good word for his daughter.

“I will.” Elliot nodded. Oh, how he wanted to take good care of her, but what could he do when she kept

rejecting his kindness?

Just then, a thought popped into Francis’s mind, but he suppressed it in two shakes. As outstanding as

Anastasia was, she still wasn’t enough for someone like Elliot. Besides, she had a son. No way would

rich families like the Presgraves accept a woman who had given birth before marriage. Hence, he didn’t

dare hope Anastasia would develop any romance with this rich young man.

Jared sat next to Elliot, and Elliot would check up on the little guy from time to time, adding whatever

Jared liked to his plate.

Alex’s worry grew when he saw Elliot’s behavior toward Jared. Is Elliot trying to win Anastasia’s heart? If

that was the case, he had no chance against Elliot at all! What was more, he hadn’t even confessed his

love for her. She has no clue I like her!
