Chapter 694


    When Gordon heard Anastasia’s words. the arrogance on his face instantly turned into panic. Even so,


    he still pretended to be calm as he said, “President Tillman, you should at least provide evidence if you


    want to convict me for such crimes.”


    “Evidence? By the time I retrieve the evidence, that will also be the time when I’ll see you in court. Are


    you sure you want to get things to such an ugly extent?” Anastasia questioned him while crossing her


    arms in front of her chest.


    Today, she wore a white blouse and a high-waist hip skirt. Dressing like this, she looked slender and


    mesmerizing while radiating a domineering aura at the same time.


    “You should know that the team ofwyers under Presgrave Corporation won’t have mercy toward


    anyone in court.” Anastasia stared at Gordon coldly with her pair of beautiful orbs.


    When he heard her words, the arrogance he had when he first entered was immediately suppressed.


    At this moment, he was scared out of his wits. Therefore, he quickly smiled and pleaded, “Please,


    “On second thought, it’s better for you to resign!” She was unwilling to give him a chance to continue


    wasting time in thepany.


    Gordon was a man who had always been buoyant and impetuous. Therefore, he instantly clenched his


    hands into a fist when he heard Anastasia asking him to resign. ring at her angrily, he wanted to


    lash out. “You-”


    However, before he could get the chance to do so, the door behind him opened. Immediately after, two


    bodyguards in suits speedily entered. As each bodyguard stood on the left and right side of Gordon,


    they gave him death res as if to remind him not to go overboard.


    Once again, he calmed down his rage. Then, he snorted. “Fine! I’ll resign.”


    Once Gordon left, the bodyguards left Anastasia’s office and guarded the entrance to her office.


    Later, Anastasia received an internal phone call. Reaching out, she answered the call. “Hello?”


    “I heard that you’ve fired a few of the executives.” Elliot’s low voice came from the other end of the


    phone.


    “Well, you know that I can’t let him continue to bleed Bourgeois dry. I won’t tolerate the existence of


    such a character in thepany,” she exined. As she spoke, there was rather a resolute vibe in her


    tone.


    “I’ll support whatever my wife does, but make sure to tell me first when you encounter danger next


    time.” Elliot reminded her. He had earlier received a SOS call from Grace. ording to Grace, she said


    there was a male manager who barged into Anastasia’s office. Since Elliot was outside, he could only


    assign the bodyguards to protect her first.


    Anastasia wasn’t psychologically scared of anyone unlike Elliot. Perhaps this had something to do with


    her toughening herself up since young. Hearing Elliot’s words, she smiled and uttered, “Sorry for


    making you worry.”


    “The family’s safety alwayses first in my heart.”


    When she heard the serious tone in his voice, she also looked at this matter in a more serious manner.


    “I promise you that I’ll learn to protect myself.”


    “Remember to ask Adriana to apany you always,” Elliot exhorted.


    Coincidentally, today was the day that Adriana was on leave. Thus, she wasn’t on Anastasia’s side.


    However, Anastasia decided to keep quiet about this after she sensed how worried Elliot was.


    “Sure, got it. By the way, how are things at the financial summit?”


    “I’ve met a few acquaintances earlier, so I’m probably going to be home a littlete.”

    Understanding the situation Elliot was in, Anastasiamented, “Sure! I’ll coax Jared to sleep first


    then.”


    At this time, there was a knock on the door. Hence, she could only add, “Well then, I’ll hang up first.


    Bye!”


    He hummed as a reply to her.


    After hanging up the phone, Grace came in to deliver an urgent document. Due to the fact that


    Bourgeois had swiftly eliminated the ‘pests’ in just a day and cleaned up the vibe in the office, those


    who intended to dawdle became tense.


    In the meantime, the financial summit was held inside a grandiose hall.


    Standing in the center among a few of his foreign acquaintances, Elliot was discussing the future


    economical direction and development with them.


    At this moment, a sexy figure gradually approached them. With the staff pass hanging around her neck


    and her alluring attire, Lori made her way toward Elliot with a smile on her face.


    “Elliot, what a coincidence,” Lori greeted.


    Looking at her, he nodded. “Lori.”


    “Elliot, I heard that you’re going to meet the richest person from Dansbury. It just so happens that I’m


    fluent in thenguage spoken in Dansbury. Let me be your trantor.” She shamelessly started


    promoting herself to him.


    “That’s fine. My trantor will be here soon.” Elliot didn’t wish to trouble her.


    “Elliot, give me a chance to help you!” Lori started whining with crystal clear eyes.


    However, he simply waved his hand. “Just go ahead with your business!” After that, he brought his


    assistant, Rey, and left.


    Biting her rosy lips, Lori turned her and looked at Elliot’s straight and charming back silhouette.


    Instantly, she felt down and depressed. Could it be that Elliot doesn’t want to give me a chance to get


    close to him just because I’ve shown signs of seductionst time?


    If he thinks I’ll stop, then he’s wrong. I’m not a person who would give up so easily! Since the day I was


    born, I know that I’m just a tool of interest that my Dad used to acquire


    Presgrave Corporation. I have no way out, so I must endure the hardship and charge forward.


    Later, when the party was held at 5:00PM, Lori purposely seduced a foreign businessman. She


    knew this businessman had been lusting over her beauty and he even touched her from time to time.


    Even so, she still decided to endure him in order to carry out her sinister nter.
