Erica initially wanted to call out Hayley for being insatiable and not knowing her boundaries. However, when Erica reflected on


    herself, she was also someone with blood on her hands. Instead, she said nothing for a while because she deserved to end up


    here.


    A financial summit was held in the city on Friday and it was an event which the people of the financial industry took with


    seriousness.


    After reading the email, a woman sitting in the spacious office had aplicated look in her eyes.


    That woman was Lolerai Presgrave. Ever since herst meeting with Elliot, she had epted his rmendation to work in


    another financialpany. All this while, she had been restraining herself and waiting for the opportunity to show up. She did not


    dare to offend him and did not want to confront Anastasia in the open.


    Lolerai’s father had been eyeing a project under Elliot’s hands. Although her father wanted to get a hold of it, the Presgrave


    Group had strict rules. They would rather cooperate with outsiders than the people of the Presgrave Family as this had been an


    unwritten rule of the Presgrave Family. However, Lolerai’s father wasn’t the only one who had their eyes on the wealth of the


    Presgrave Group.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    All of them were waiting for one thing; they patiently waited year after year while looking forward to Harriet’s death. Once she


    was out of the picture, Elliot would be on his own. Without her strict defense, he might not be able to withstand the pressure of


    the entire family. Lolerai had been looking forward to this moment as she was confident that he would show up.


    At that time, Anastasia wouldn''t be by his side, and Lolerai might be able to seize this chance to strike. She was confident in


    herself and did not believe there were men who wouldn''t cheat.


    At Presgrave Group, Elliot had also received the invitation and epted it.


    There were severalpanies that he was interested in cooperating with that were attending the summit this time.


    Anastasia had apanied him to thepany today. Bourgeois was implementing a reformation n and had decided to buy


    a diamond mind and raw stones abroad. This was necessary as theirpany had decided to create a luxurious and


    customizable tform.


    Six high-level executives of thepany were gathered in the conference room. Anastasia sat on the main seat with her long


    hair on her shoulders while she listened to her subordinates’ reports with firm, bright eyes and radiated the aura of a charismatic


    leader.


    It required a different kind of courage for one to be a leader, which was something that Anastasia had been exercising. As the


    Presgrave Family had many extended family members, she had to shoulder the burden of being thedy boss of the family, and


    there would be more things that would require her to decide in the future.


    After the meeting, she called for Larry and carefully listened to his opinions. He was a senior executive of Bourgeois and was


    more experienced in this area.


    “President Tillman, if we want Bourgeois to grow and be stronger, it is vital for us to have our own mine. Now, several big foreign


    brands have already begun to monopolize the stones. We will have to make a decision soon.”


    “What''s the recovery rate for extraction?”


    “ording to our current data, the recovery rate is within the eptable range. However, this is something like a gamble. We


    would need luck to be on our side.”


    Hearing this, Anastasia nodded. “Okay, I''ll decide in three days’ time.” Not long after Larry left, there was a knock on the door, to


    which she responded, “Come in.”


    The person at the door was Katrina. She was at thepany to sign a contract and came especially to thank Anastasia.


    “Anastasia, thank you for giving me this opportunity,” shemented while failing to contain her excitement.


    “You should read through the terms and conditions of our contract. | hope that you will abide by it. You only get one chance.


    Please cherish it!” Anastasia said.


    When Katrina heard this, she felt her heart tighten. The silent warning behind Anastasia’s words pressured her as her personal


    life was never smooth.


    “| know. | won’t let you down.” Then, Katrina added, “Please take care of my brother.”


    “Definitely.” Anastasia nodded.


    At this moment, Katrina’s gaze wandered to the ne Anastasia was wearing. She could tell at first nce that it was rare


    and valuable, and this caused envy to brew in her heart.


    “Anastasia, the diamonds on your neck are beautiful. It must cost millions,” she said in jealousy.


    Anastasia pursed her lips and smiled. “My husband gave it to me. | didn’t ask him about the price.”


    At this moment, darkness shed through Katrina’s eyes. It would be great if she managed to seduce Elliot in the future. Now


    that she was endorsing Bourgeois, she had a higher chance of meeting him.
