Chapter 647


    “Nigel,e over here.”


    He smiled as he asked, “What’s wrong, Mom?”


    “There are many girls that attended the wedding today. Did any of them catch your attention? You can


    tell me about it.” During the wedding, Brenda felt that his son who was already at a marriageable age of


    26 should be looking to get married.


    “Nope.” He shook his head.

    “Since Elliot already got married, you should be more serious about looking for a girlfriend so that you


    can get married soon.” Brenda rolled her eyes at him.


    “Mom, back then if you gave me the green light, I’d have married Anastasia and you’d have had a


    daughter-inw.” He chuckled.


    Upon hearing that, she rolled her eyes at him again and said, “Elliot was already courting Anastasia at


    that time. There’s no point for you to get on the bandwagon. I wouldn’t want to see the both of you fight


    over a girl.”


    “Mom, you’re really observant!’ Nigel was impressed that his mother actually noticed that Elliot was


    courting Anastasia at that time.


    “That’s why you should start taking this. seriously and don’t spend too much time ying video games


    in the mansion. Instead, spend more time getting to know some girls. Just then, twodies waved at


    her and Brenda told him, ‘Alright, I shall go greet the guests first.”


    Nigel let out a long sigh. Now that Elliot was married, he felt stressed as he thought of how he would be


    the next one to be urged to get married.


    Meanwhile in one of the vis, the atmosphere was sullen. An elderly man was seen sitting in front of


    his daughter and consoling her. ‘Don’t get discouraged. Your opportunity wille.””


    “Dad, back then if I had returned earlier, by now, you would be attending Elliot and my wedding instead


    of his and


    Anastasia’s Lori red at her father with hatred in her eyes.


    Hearing that, the old man’s gaze darkened and asked, ‘Are you still ming me for it? I’ve already told


    you that Old Madam Presgrave would never allow Elliot to marry someone from the Presgrave Family.


    She has her guard up against us.”


    “What if Elliot fell in love with me and only wanted to marry me?” Lori held her forehead as she


    looked agonized. She didn’t have to conceal her true feelings in front of her father.


    “I know that it has been hard for you to put a smile on your face while attending the wedding. If both of


    you are really together, Old Madam Presgrave will think of a way to separate you. By then, we would


    have lost all of our opportunities.”


    ‘If I came back and stayed by his side, I would have been able to win his heart.” she said in frustration


    while she held back. her tears.


    “That’s enough, don’t reveal your emotions to anyone. I have always wanted to have a ce within the


    Presgrave Group’s board of directors. However, whenever i bring it up, Old Madam Presgrave would


    reject my request. Although our family has been doing well thus far, we are nothingpared to the


    Presgrave Family. They own the most lucrative real estates around the world and if theymission a


    project to us, our worth will be more than doubled. But she just refused to allow our family to have a


    stake in their real estate. That’s why we can only rely on you, since your brother is still young.”


    ‘Dad, say no more. I’ll still proceed as nned. Lori dried her tears and calmed herself down. ‘I will


    look for an opportunity to stay by Elliot’s side. When the timing is right, I will help you toplete the


    n.”


    “You’ll have to befriend Anastasia to get her trust. That way, you will be able to stay by Elliot’s side


    frequently. We will. wait until the day he has fallen for you to bring up our requests. I believe he won’t


    turn us down.”


    “I know what to do.” All these years when Lori was overseas, she learnt that sincerity was the best


    disguise, and that she was good at making friends with her sincerity.


    Soon after she came out from the house, she took a stroll in the garden. She recalled how her parents


    would doll her up like a princess since young and they would send her over to the Presgrave


    Residence for y dates. Every time. before she went over, Lori would be dressed nicely Her


    etiquette and upbringing were all cultivated by her mother. She clearly remembered the time when she


    left grains of rice on the table while she was dining at the Presgrave Residence, her mother gave her a


    beating after she got home because of that.


    At that time, she didn’t know that her parents had since nned for her to attract the young Elliot, so


    that he would remember her as the cute and pretty Lori. Her father had been nning for more than


    20 years to join the Presgrave Group’s board of directors. Lori could not let him down.
