Chapter 84


    Chapter 84


    On Thursday, Anastasia had taken a half-day leave and moved all of her luggage from the


    apartment to her new ce with Francis’ help. While Francis went to pick Jared up, she started


    decorating the house in peace. Since there was a mall downstairs that allowed Anastasia to get all


    her daily necessities, everything was progressing smoothly.


    At night, she cooked and made them a hearty meal. From now onward, they had a ce where


    they belonged within the city.


    “Dad, how’s yourpany’s growth recently?” Anastasia asked curiously.


    “Everything is progressing smoothly! We’ve recently gotten a deal that can give us about 100 million


    in profit if we are able to get our hands on the project.”


    Hearing that, Anastasia felt happy for Francis. Seeing how Francis wasn’t getting any younger, he


    would be apprehensive if thepany’s operation wasn’t smooth.


    Suddenly, Francis looked at Anastasia and asked in all seriousness, “Anastasia, are you nning to


    continue your venture in the designing field forever? Have you never thought of learning how to


    manage apany?”


    Immediately, Anastasia caught onto what Francis was implying. Does he want me to take over his


    company? I guess he’s anxious now that he’s almost reaching his sixties.


    “I don’t think I’m good at that, Dad,” Anastasia replied in a self-deprecating manner.


    “Well, at least you’re more mature than Erica, and I’d feel more relieved if thepany is in your


    hands,” Francis exined truthfully, as Erica had beenpletely spoiled by Naomi and didn’t


    know how to do anything other than spending his money.


    “You’re still young, though. Why don’t you decide again in two years, Dad? I’d still have to wait until


    Jared gets bigger before I have the time to help you out anyway,” Anastasia suggested after


    pondering for a moment.


    Although Francis was just asking, he was still happy to know that Anastasia had ns to help him


    out. “Alright. I’ll manage thepany for two more years before I make the decision to let you take


    over thepany, then.” All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    – At this moment, Anastasia looked up at Francis and noticed his graying sideburns


    before realizing that her father was really starting to get older now.


    On the other hand, Hayley had invited Alice, Anastasia’spetitor this time, to have a meal at a


    restaurant. Then, she told Alice about how Anastasia was already set to be the winner of the


    International Jewelry Design Competition this time.


    “How did you find out about that, Miss Seymour? Are you sure?” Alice questioned with visible anger


    in her eyes.


    “I can assure you that my sources are urate. If you want to win thepetition fairly or even


    stand out among others in Bourgeois, you need to remove Anastasia. If not, the person who will


    outshine everyone in thepany will definitely be her,” Hayley dered with a sharp glint in her


    eyes.


    “How is that even possible?!” Alice harrumphed.


    “Miss Thompson, I’m not trying to scare you, but you’ll only be able to surpass her if you leave


    Bourgeois, or Anastasia will surely overshadow you.”


    “Miss Seymour, I’m guessing that this is not the main reason why you invited me out!” Alice was


    smart enough to catch on to the hidden meaning.


    “I know you hate Anastasia, and I do, too. I want her to leave Bourgeois, and I really hope that she


    won’t be able to stay in the jewelry designing industry any longer, so I’m hoping that you can partner


    up with me.”


    Obviously, Alice knew why Hayley hated Anastasia. How could she, as President Presgrave’s


    girlfriend, not hate Anastasia when Anastasia and President Presgrave kept flirting around with


    each other in thepany? Thus, she agreed without any hesitation. “Sure. I’m willing to work


    together with you, Miss Seymour, but what can I do?”


    Hayley already had an answer to Alice’s question. “Do you know the chairman of thepany that


    is sponsoring the International Jewelry Design Competition this year?”


    As Alice had wide connections in the designing field, she actually did know who the chairman that


    Hayley mentioned was. The chairman was a notorious pervert that had once tried to ask her to a


    meal, wanting to help her expand her connections, but she had rejected him.


    “I have his contact number, and I can contact him anytime.”


    Hayley smirked with satisfaction. “I’m nning to get Anastasia and him in one bed before taking a


    picture of it and revealing it during the awards ceremony. By then,


    she definitely won’t be able to win any awards and will even be aughingstock in the designing


    field. What do you think?”


    Although Alice thought that the n was risky, she really couldn’t stand Anastasia any longer. If


    Anastasia was really set to be the winner of thepetition this time internally, the reward of a


    million would end up in her pockets, and that didn’t sit right with Alice.


    “Sure! I’m willing to help you by asking the chairman out, but how can you get Anastasia to fall into


    the trap?” Alice asked curiously.


    “I have my own ways. Ask the chairman out this Saturday at night and set up the surveince


    camera beforehand. I’ll definitely get Anastasia to show up in his bed in time.”
