Chapter 193


    Chapter 193


    “Anastasia, why didn’t you bring your son along?” Erica immediately exposed the fact that


    Anastasia had a son.


    Bluntly, thetter replied, “You don’t have to worry about that. My son is being taken care of just


    fine.”


    “President Presgrave, do you know that my sister has a kid? He’s already four now. It was quite


    tough on her, having to raise him all on her own.” At that point, Erica wanted to just spill the fact that


    Anastasia was a single mother.


    Since Alex already knew that Anastasia had a child, he thought that he stood a better chance at


    being with her due to a single mother’s lowered standard in choosing her partner.


    In turn, Anastasia only smirked while looking at Erica’s little show.


    On the other hand, Erica kept thinking that Elliot would ask her something out of sheer curiosity.


    Never in a million years did she think that he wouldn’t care about this at all, with him not even


    listening to her.


    Coughing awkwardly, she then kept quiet.


    Meanwhile, Alex was trying to find a topic to chat with Anastasia, so he asked, “Miss Tillman, you


    said that you wanted a tour of thepany, right? When are you free? I’d love to bring you around.”


    When facing Alex, Anastasia always smiled politely back. This made a certain man feel jealous


    inside, as she did not even smile at him like that from the start.


    D


    The only things that she showed him were her temper, stubbornness and willfulness, all of which


    were bad sides.


    But now, she actually left her best smile, sweetest voice and best side of her to a stranger that she


    just met.


    “Alright, then. I’ll contact you if I’m ever in Dad’spany.” Anastasia then proceeded to exchange


    numbers with Alex.


    “Sure thing!” Happiness was written all over Alex’s face when he said that.


    Anastasia’s gaze then met with a chilling, upset one, and her smile froze in ce


    before disappearing altogether. In the end, she picked up her goblet and averted her gaze.


    At that moment, Francis brought a few of his friends over to the table, and he said to Anastasia as


    soon as he came over, “Anastasia, why are you sitting here? Quickly now! Go and sit beside


    President Presgrave.”


    Left with no choice, Anastasia could only relocate her seat beside Elliot’s. Now, Elliot was


    surrounded by both of Francis’ daughters.


    Hurriedly, Alex also switched seats and sat beside Anastasia.


    “President Presgrave, I’m sorry for thisck of proper treatment. Please, if you have anything, just


    order Anastasia to do it for you!”


    “I will be sure to do so, Mr. Tillman!” Smiling, Elliot exuded the aura of an elitist.


    Remembering something, Anastasia stood up and walked to her father’s side, whispering, “Dad,


    when you’re giving the speechter, be sure to not expose President Presgrave’s identity. He wants


    to keep a low-profile.”


    “I understand.” Francis nodded.


    And so, Anastasia returned to her seat. Before long, Francis was invited on stage by the host. After


    he somewhat excitedly drank a big gulp from a can of beer and adjusted his suit, he went up to the


    stage.


    Looking at how happy her father was, Anastasia was very calm inside as she pped and looked


    admiringly at him speaking excitedly on stage.


    On the other hand, Elliot gave a stretch and looked between the woman beside him and Francis. At


    that moment, Elliot could feel the charm of what family was due to the obvious love Anastasia


    showed for her father.


    On stage, Francis did not mention Elliot’s real identity. If his daughter did not tell him to do so, he


    would’ve given Elliot a grand introduction.


    After Francis’ speech, it was time for the banquet to start. Because Francis himself was in the blue-


    cor field, his guests tonight were all his employees and they upied over fifty tables. The scene


    was very lively, even though it did not match the elegance of the upper society.


    Everybody just wanted to fill their stomachs and drink until they dropped. In short, having a good


    night was their only aim. When Francis was still on stage, someone


    even requested that he sing a song, so in a state of being forced and submitting to it, he decided to


    sing a ssic to help liven up the atmosphere even further. Francis even sang with great vigor.


    Off stage, Anastasia had been howling withughter at this scène, and she alternated between


    covering her mouth and giving her father a thumbs up. Seeing how his daughter loved listening to


    him sing, Francis put in even more effort.
