Chapter 5
“My grandma wants me to marry you, then take care of you and your children for the rest of your life.
Are you willing to marry me?” Elliot said bluntly. Although he was talking about marriage, his gaze was
indifferent; it was like he was simply shouldering a responsibility. Feeling suddenly amused, Anastasia
fluffed her long hair and looked at the man opposite. “Take a good look at me. Do I look like the type
who can never get married?” She was very beautiful. In fact, it was not an overstatement to say that
she was absolutely stunning. “Miss Tillman, do you not want to marry me?” Elliot twitched the corner of
his mouth and silently breathed a sigh of relief. “Although you are powerful and handsome, I don’t care
for you,” Anastasia replied very confidently. Elliot’s handsome face revealed a slightly startled
expression. It seemed that he was not attractive at all to this woman. Oh well, that is exactly the result I
wanted, anyway. As he wished, they were not attracted to each other. “I hope you can visit my
grandmother in person, Miss Tillman.” After all, only this woman could deny his grandmother’s wishes
because, in his heart, he was also responsible for another woman. Anastasia pondered for a few
seconds, then asked with narrowed eyes, “You really have acquired QR International Group?” “From
now on, I’ll be your boss, so don’t worry. I’ll take care of you.” Elliot expressed that even though he
couldn’t marry her, he would take care of her at work. Hearing that, Anastasia blinked. “Okay, let’s do
that then! Goodbye, President Presgrave.” Elliot was startled again at her words. Never before had a
woman disregarded him so tantly. Thus, Elliot got up and left. After he did, Anastasia let out a small
sigh. Suddenly, Grace knocked on the door and asked, “Anastasia, what are you talking about with
President Presgrave? Does he like you very much?” “Who said that?” “Everyone is saying that he has
been staring at you in the conference room,” Grace informed Anastasia with the current juicy gossip.
When Anastasia heard that, she was annoyed. It seemed that Elliot was causing trouble for her at
work. As a boss, he should be a good boss. She would just work under him, and he should not appear
in front of her in the future. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Anastasia picked up the
phone and called her father. “Hello! May I know who it is?” A familiar voice came from the other end.
Anastasia’s nose burned as she called out to the other side, “Dad, it’s me. I’m Anastasia.” “Anastasia?
You… Where have you been in the past five years? I couldn’t find you.” Francis was pleasantly
surprised. Now that the father and daughter were connected, how could any hatredst? Anastasia’s
eyes filled with tears as she said, “Dad, I’m sorry. I have lived abroad for all these years, and now I’m
back to work in the country.” “Okay, as long as you’re back. When will youe home?” “I-I’ll go home
in two days.” “Okay, as long as you are healthy and safe. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have driven you out.”
“Let’s forget about the past.” Anastasiaforted him. She had gone through all the hardships, and
she didn’t want to think about them anymore. “Okay,e back home as soon as possible!” Francis
sighed. Anastasia hung up the phone and took a deep breath. Actually, she still didn’t want to go home
yet. It was good enough as long as her father was healthy and safe. At this time, Larry knocked on the
door and came over with a box in his hands. “Anastasia, I’m here to bring you something.” Anastasia
looked at the box he put on the table in surprise. “What is this?” “Guess.” Anastasia looked at the box
with the words ‘Cloud Residence No. 1’ written on it. It was like the name of a building. “You better tell
me directly!” Anastasia smiled; she didn’t want to guess. “Cloud Residence No. 1 is a luxuriousrge
condominium unit of 370 square meters that is worth 120 million. It is a top property unit that isvishly
renovated and decorated with luxurious decoration, and it is ready for you to stay. You deserve it.” Larry
finished speaking and opened the box. There were six keys and a door card inside. Anastasia frowned.
“Is this for me?” “Anastasia, this is a special perk from President Presgrave. He changed your
residence to the Cloud Residence No. 1 unit. Aren’t you surprised and excited about it?” “Take it away;
I don’t need it.” Anastasia refused coldly. She didn’t want to ept any favors from the Presgrave
Family at all. When her mother died, she had gone through a very painful childhood. Her mother had
died an honorable death, and she had lost her closest loved one. Hearing her refusal, Larry was
dumbfounded for a few seconds. Did she just refuse such an amazing perk? “Anastasia, you’re not
joking, are you? This is a perk that is only for you!” Larry was 35 years old and single. He also fell in
love at first sight with Anastasia, who was young and beautiful, but he didn’t expect that Elliot had
already gotten ahead first. “Tell President Presgrave that I don’t need special treatment in the
company.” After Anastasia finished speaking, she pushed the box toward Larry and repeated her
words. “Take it away.” “Don’t do this to me. How am I supposed to tell him? Just ept it!” Larry could
see that Elliot was interested in Anastasia. However, Anastasia still said firmly, “Send it back. I really
don’t need it. Thank you.” When Larry saw that she was serious, he had to take the box away. At thisContent from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
moment, Elliot did not go back to work in hispany Dominion Corporation, but started working in the
main office of Bourgeois instead. “President Presgrave, Anastasia won’t ept this no matter what I
said,” Larry reported helplessly. “Well.” Elliot’s dark eyes were cloudy. He had expected this, but it
would be best if he could repay his debt with material things so that he would not have to bind himself
to Anastasia by marriage. At the Tillman Residence, Francis had just returned. He looked at his wife
watching TV on the sofa, then sighed happily and said, “Naomi, I received a call today. Guess who it
was?” “Who?” Naomi looked at him curiously. “It was Anastasia! She had been living abroad for all
these years. No wonder I had been unable to contact her,” Francis said happily. He didn’t realize that
his wife’s expression had suddenly changed, and the resentment in her eyes grew. “Why are you still
thinking about her? She embarrassed you in the past, so don’t let here back to this house.”
“Naomi, I’ve been thinking for some time, and I feel that she’s not that kind of person. There must be a
misunderstanding, and anyway, it has been so many years since. Just let it pass!” “What
misunderstanding? Erica photographed her frequenting that kind of ce in the middle of the night.
The evidence is solid.” Naomi really didn’t expect Anastasia, who had been driven out, toe back
now. Did she notice ourpany’s development ande back topete for the family assets?
Hmph! It all belongs to my daughter. It will be over my dead body for Anastasia to get her hands on
it! Seeing that his wife was not happy, Francis said no more and went upstairs, a little tired. Then,
Naomi quickly picked up her phone and dialed her daughter’s number. “Hey! Mom.” “Erica, guess
who’s back?” “Who?” “That little b*tch Anastasia contacted your dad today. She’s back.” “What? How
can she evene back?” “She must have taken a fancy to our family’s assets and wants to return for
a piece of the pie. With me here, she won’t even get toy a finger on it.” Naomi snorted coldly, her
face full of bitterness. “I was able to drive her away five years ago, so even if shees back, I can
still drive her out again.” Erica was also very confident about it.
