    Chapter 191


    Even though Alex self-admittingly thought that he was an outstanding individual, he knew he did not


    hold a candle to Elliot.


    Hailing from a poor background, Alex always acknowledged that the world wasn’t fair. He had


    sacrificed a lot to reach the top, but some people were simply born up at the very top.


    Anastasia was a girl that he liked the first moment heid eyes on her, and she made him feel


    intoxicated through the short conversation they had. With every breath and smile that she took, it


    served only to make him fall for her deeper and deeper.


    Yet at that moment, Alex could only look on, clenching his fists as the one he loved was by Elliot’s


    side.


    Failing to make Elliot budge, Anastasia was about to give up when a middle-aged woman’s voice


    called to her, “Oh-Anastasia, there you are! Come help me out for a bit.”


    What Anastasia saw was Naomi had a kind and warm smile at that moment, something the former


    didn’t see everyday.


    “Is there anything you need help with?” Anastasia asked as Elliot also turned over to look at Naomi.


    Upon seeing his face, Naomi felt her heart actually skipped a bit over how perfect the man’s face


    was. The only w was the distant and cold aura he emanated that made him feel like an invisible


    barrier was surrounding him.


    “And this must be the honorable guest your father mentioned, Young Master Elliot!” Hastily, Naomi


    greeted him, “Hello, Young Master Elliot. I’m Francis’ wife, Naomi Lowell. I hope you’ll find it in your


    heart to forgive us if there’s anything inadequate at the venue!”


    To this, Elliot only returned a subtle nod. Thinking back on how the mother daughter duo bullied


    Anastasia back then at thepany, he wouldn’t even have upheldmon courtesy if not for the


    celebration taking ce right then.


    “Anastasia,e with me for a second. I have something urgent that could use your help,” Naomi


    announced, pretending to look like something urgent was going on.


    Since it was her father’spany celebration today, Anastasia didn’t want to ck off This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    either, so she said to Elliot, “President Presgrave, I’ll be stepping away for a bit. Please make


    yourselffortable.”


    Stating that, Anastasia then stood up and left. At the instant Naomi turned around, the older woman


    quickly hinted at her daughter.


    The actual reason Naomi came was just to make Anastasia leave so that a chance could open up


    for her daughter, as Elliot was their real target for tonight.


    Meanwhile, Erica, who was standing not far away, saw her mother’s hint. Immediately, she became


    anxious and excited, wanting to run right to Elliot’s side Using the mirror at the side, she looked at


    herself for a few seconds before purposefully lowering her neckline and pushing her chest up,


    thereafter walking toward him seductively.


    Upon closing in on him, Erica could feel her breath being taken away as she looked at the man’s


    sharp silhouette. With every look at his clean-cut sideburns and his stunning side profile, she was


    falling deeper for the charismatic man.


    After a deep breath, she mustered up the sweetest tone she could and said, “Hello, Young Master


    Elliot, Since my sister is busy with something else, my father asked me to apany you for a bit.”


    Saying that, Erica naturally sat on Anastasia’s seat. Her brain instantly turned into mush the second


    she made eye contact with Elliot, and she did not know what to say next.


    At that moment, Erica, who wanted to transform into a princess just to show him her most elegant


    side, was unaware that the man sitting in front of her had witnessed the fight between her and


    Anastasia a month ago.


    “I don’t need anypany, thank you.” Finishing his sentence, Elliot then picked up his phone and


    began scrolling through it, all the while emitting a distant feel.


    “What about some drinks, Young Master Elliot? I can bring you some, if you so wish.”


    “There’s no need.”


    “Fruits? There’s some freshly cut fruits there. I can–”


    “No.” Elliot cut her off without even moving his gaze away from his phone.


    Even though Erica knew that Elliot was hard to approach and cold, she wasn’t just giving up yet, as


    she was satisfied by just staying close to him. “In that case, I’ll just


    stay here with you. Do let me know if you have any needs.” Propping up her chin, she looked at


    him, her expression lovestruck.


    As Elliot couldn’t make her go away, he just left such a lovestruck looking person be.


    On the other side, Anastasia, who was called to the pantry, was a bit puzzled as no help was


    actually needed. There were even a few workers who could be seen sitting down and chatting.
