A flicker of confusion passed through Elliot’s eyes as he nodded, “Yes, what’s wrong?”
Anastasia hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly said, “Mr. Murphy, could you take me with you? I
want to meet more people, it would make conducting business easier in the future.”
Elliot stared at her, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Being stared at by his serious gaze, Anastasia felt unconsciously nervous, her hands clenched into
fists.
A full minute passed before Elliot finally said with augh, “Sure, but before we go, I have a question
for you.”
“What’s the question?” Anastasia’s face was all smiles. As long as she could attend the banquet, she
was willing to answer not just one, but ten questions.
“Did Ms. Cameron really giarize your design?”

Anastasia’s face stiffened, she quickly said, “I think it’s just a simrity, it can’t really be considered as
giarism… But we still have to see what thepany says, I believe thepany will give a fair
result.”
Elliot raised an eyebrow, “So you mean, if thepany determines that Ms. Cameron didn’t giarize,
it would be unfair?”
“I didn’t say that. Whatever the result thepany gives, I will ept it.”
A glint of mockery shed in Elliot’s eyes as he said, word by word, “Having ambition is normal, but if
desire exceeds ambition, one will plunge oneself into an irretrievable situation.”
Anastasia bit her lower lip, “I don’t know what Mr. Murphy was talking about.”
“If you don’t know, let it be. Let’s go.”
Seeing that Elliot had no intention of pursuing further, Anastasia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Elliot didn’t have any particr fondness for Briana Cameron either, otherwise he
wouldn’t have said these things to me.
The two at the banquet hall, and Elliot said indifferently, “Anastasia, I have other matters to attend to.
You can’t afford to offend anyone at this banquet. Whether you can please a few powerful people, it’s
up to you.”
“Alright, thank you Mr. Murphy.”
After Elliot left, Anastasia’s gaze wandered around the banquet hall, quickly spotting Maxim’s figure.
A hint of shyness shed in her eyes, she lowered her head to adjust her skirt, held a ss of wine,
and after putting the carefully prepared drug powder in it, she walked over.
From the moment she first saw Maxim, she fell in love with him at first sight. Before, she was too
insecure to approach him, but now that she was on par with Briana Cameron, he should also see her in
a new light.
Maxim had just finished talking with a client, nced impatiently at his phone, and was about to leave
when a woman’s voice sounded behind him.
“Mr. Yoder, hello, I was Anastasia, the designer of Graceful Attire.”
Maxim turned his head and immediately recognized her as the woman he had dined with alongside
Briana Cameronst time.
His face was cold, “What’s up?”
If it weren’t for Briana Cameron, he wouldn’t have even bothered with her.
Noticing Maxim’s indifference, Anastasia’s face turned somewhat embarrassed, but she still managed
to maintain a smile.
“Nothing special… just wanted toe over and toast you with a drink…”
Maxim sneered, mercilessly saying, “What do you count for, worthy of toasting me?”
He had seen countless women, and the one before him was just like those who were attracted to his
power and wanted to rise to the top in one step.
“Mr. Yoder, I just thought of the time you drove me home… I came specifically to thank you… Nothing
more…”
Maxim’s expression was icy, “Did I say you had ulterior motives? Are you harboring filthy thoughts in
your heart, is that why you misunderstood my meaning?”
Anastasia’s face was pale, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at Maxim with an incredibly
wronged expression, somewhat pitiful.
Maxim, toozy to look again, was about to turn around and leave when Rayan hurried over.
“Mr. Yoder, take a look at this!”
