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. | 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 the


    company, he wouldn’t even have upheldmon courtesy if not for the celebration taking ce right then.


    “Anastasia,e with me for a second. | 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


    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.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    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.


    “| 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? | can bring you some, if you so wish.”


    “There''s no need.”


    “Fruits? There’s some freshly cut fruits there. | 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.
