Chapter 370 Meeting at the Police Station


    Anastasia quickly exined, “No, Dad. It has nothing to do with him. He adores Jared, but | don’t like him anymore.”


    Somehow, she felt bad for Elliot when her father scolded him.


    Francis was once again surprised. “Why do you not like him anymore?”


    As she raised her head to look at her father, she wondered how her father felt about losing his wife and being forced to live on


    with his only daughter.


    “Dad, have you ever hated the Presgraves?”


    After pondering for a few seconds, he responded, “What''s the use of hating them? Your mother was responsible for saving them


    back then, after all.”


    “Do you think it would’ve been possible for Mom to live if she hadn’t been so devoted to her job?” Anastasia inquired as she sat


    beside Francis.


    “Why do you ask? Did you break up with Young Master Elliot because you can’t ept the fact that your mother sacrificed to


    save him?” Francis was now looking at her with a heartbroken expression.


    “Yes.” Anastasia nodded.


    “However, | know your mother. If a child was going to be killed in front of her, she would''ve definitely gone out of her way to save


    him.


    “Is it possible that she rescued him under pressure? He was the only heir of the Presgrave Family, after all.” Anastasia looked at


    her father, knowing that he must not have been aware that Old Madam Presgrave had threatened the mayor.


    “The situation was very chaotic and critical at that time. The kidnapper grabbed Young Master Elliot by the neck and was about


    to cut his head off. Who would have the heart to see such a tragedy happen? Your mother was the closest to him, so she


    knocked the killer down with all her might before pulling Young Master Elliot into her arms. The kidnapper then stabbed her like a


    madman. Later on, the others rescued Young Master Elliot while the kidnapper was shot dead on the spot. Sadly, your mother


    passed away.”


    Anastasia closed her eyes and imagined the scene before her. She began to cry because she was so heartbroken.


    “Alright. If you can’t ept it, let’s cut ties with the Presgraves. As long as it doesn’t make you sad,” Francisforted her. He


    could understand her feelings.


    After dinner, Francis offered, “Why don’t you work at mypany? | should teach you how to manage thepany now.”


    “Are you sure you want to hand thepany to me, Dad?” Anastasia looked at him. After all, he had another daughter as well.


    “| can only count on you. Do you think | can put my hopes on Erica?” Francis sighed. “She has been spoiled and pampered since


    young, so she only knows how to spend moneyvishly. At least there is some hope if | pass thepany to you. | just hope you


    don’t treat your sister badly in the future.”


    All of a sudden, Anastasia felt burdened. She nodded and answered, “Okay. After | send Jared to school tomorrow, I''lle by


    the office.”


    She added, “I also have one more thing to tell you; I’ve found the main culprit behind Mom’s death already. He’s Riley Presgrave,


    Elliot’s uncle.”


    “What? Are you sure?”


    “He was the main culprit behind Elliot''s kidnapping case, and Elliot will re-investigate his charges. If they require your


    cooperation in the future, please cooperate with them so that we can arrest this murderer and bring Mom justice as soon as


    possible.”


    “Okay, | will give my full cooperation if needed.” Of course, Francis wouldn''t let the murderer go.


    After sending her father off, Anastasia’s phone rang. When she nced at the name on the screen, she quivered slightly.


    It was Elliot.


    After taking a deep breath, Anastasia picked up the phone. “Hello?”Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “The police will summon you tomorrow to make a statement. Does Jared have a ce to go?”


    “I''ll be sending him to school,” Anastasia replied.


    “Okay, do you need me to apany you tomorrow?”


    “No. I''ll be fine,” Anastasia refused and hung up.


    After sending her son to school early the next morning, Anastasia rushed to the police station with Grace to make a statement.


    They exined the whole process of the kidnapping incident. Anastasia’s subsequent experiences were also recorded, but she


    did not mention what Riley had told her.


    When they came out of the police station, they bumped into Elliot.


    Anastasia was aware of when he had arrived, as well as why he was waiting there.


    “Hello, President Presgrave,” Grace greeted in surprise.


    “You should head back to thepany first, Grace!” Anastasia said to Grace.


    “Sure. I''ll be taking my leave, then.” Grace didn’t want to interrupt the little couple.
