    Erica stammered and asked, “There is something I’ve been wanting to tell you. Fate has brought me together with the Presgrave


    Family. | once saved someone from the Presgrave Family, and now they''re repaying me by taking good care of me, which is why


    I''ve been invited to Old Madam Presgrave’s birthday feast.”


    “Tell me how you got to know the Presgrave Family. What have you done to make them appreciate you so much?” Erica


    curiously asked, wondering how Hayley got so lucky to know the Presgrave Family.


    “I''m afraid | can’t tell you why right now, but | know we both have something inmon to do when we get there—to turn the


    Presgrave Family against Anastasia. We''re going to make them hate her so much that she''ll never live it down again,” Hayley


    said.


    Erica echoed Hayley’s feelings and expressed her thoughts of resentment. “You''re absolutely right. We must work together and


    undermine Anastasia’s rtionship with Elliot because she must never marry into the Presgrave Family.”


    “I''ll figure out a n, so just cooperate with me by then.” Hayley was usually the mastermind with ideas.


    In the meantime, Erica had always known Hayley was a shrewddy, so she nodded her head in agreement. “You can be sure |


    will because | want to humiliate Anastasia during the feast just as much as you do.” Although Erica had no idea how Hayley got


    to know the Presgrave Family, she received a present, which was a ne worth 500 thousand, from Hayley before they left.


    Upon receiving the ne, Erica fell in love with her new gift and was instantly bought over by Hayley. Because of that, she


    didn’t even bother to learn more about the rtionship between Hayley and the Presgrave Family as she was now thinking about


    how to warm up to Hayley. Guess what? | mustn’t look down upon Hayley anymore.


    On the other hand, Anastasia was sitting in her office while working on her draft design on azy afternoon. With inspirations and


    ideas flowing through her mind, she added some modifications to Elliot''s ne to make it look thicker so that it would


    entuate the wearer’s manliness. However, as she continued to work on her draft design, she suddenly felt like drawing the


    man’s face out of a whim.


    Although Elliot seemed like the perfectly handsome man who looked wless from all angles, she wanted to draw the man when


    he toasted her thest time with his gentle eyes showing on his face. Thus, she proceeded to spend her entire afternoon drawing


    Elliot. Needless to say, she would not say a single word about the portrait to anyone because she intended to admire it herself


    and kill boredom.


    In the meantime, Elliot had spent his entire afternoon in a conference meeting in his study while the child was busy ying with


    his Lego in the game room. Upon taking a look at the time, he stood up and walked out of the study, wondering what Anastasia


    was doing since his study was on the same floor as Anastasia’s office. Therefore, he decided to find out and walked toward her


    Office.


    Meanwhile, Elliot’s portrait came to life on the piece of paper, thanks to Anastasia’s skillful drawing. Then, she went on to amend


    his eyebrows a little, making them seem less hairy because the man had thick and long eyebrows. Now, his eyes look perfect.


    After amending the eyebrows, the man in the drawing looked so vivid as Anastasia admired her own masterpiece with a teacup


    in her hand, wondering how biased fate was to let a man so handsome like him exist.


    At that moment, Anastasia heard someone knocking on the door, so she quickly grabbed anything around her to cover her draft


    before she looked at the door and said, “Come in.” When the door was open, Elliot''s charming silhouette came into view, causing


    an anxious look to sh across Anastasia’s face. Nheless, she stood up and asked, “What''s the matter?”


    “Is my ne design ready?” Elliot asked, leaning closer to thedy’s desk.


    Anastasia passed the draft she had justpleted to the man. “Here you go. Take a look and see whether you like it.”


    Elliot took a closer look at the draft, admiring the beauty and elegance when the ne chains intertwined together. At the


    sight of the wonderful masterpiece, he nodded his head satisfactorily and said, “Not bad. | like it.”
