    Chapter 109


    Does she think I won’t go just because she didn’t invite me to it? Well, that makes me want to go even


    more. “Great. From now on, I want you to tell me everything about Elliot. Also, I want you to keep an eye


    on Anastasia. If she has any intimate interactions with Elliot, I need you to tell me immediately.”


    Daniel held a rtively important position in thepany, although he wasn’t as powerful as Elliot’s


    head assistant, Timothy. Regardless, Daniel still had ess to most of Elliot’s daily schedules. After


    Daniel left, Hayley still felt too furious to go to bed. What does Old Madam Presgrave mean by this? Is


    she looking down on me? Does she want me to stay away from Elliot? Hayley was especially furious


    because of the unfair treatment .


    The next morning, Anastasia rushed to her office after sending Jared to school. Today was a day she


    had been looking forward to. When she arrived at the office, Grace opened the door and came over to


    give Anastasia some words offort. “Don’t mind all the nonsense that they say about you, Anastasia.


    I trust that you and President Presgrave are innocent.” Anastasia could no longer be bothered by these


    things-she felt that there was no point in rifying such matters, and that she shouldn’t be living her life


    based on others’ments.


    It was about 10.00AM when Anastasia’sndline rang. “Hello?” She picked the call up.


    “You need toe for a meeting, Anastasia. I have the list of winners with me.” Felicia’s voice came


    from the other end. Anastasia felt her heart skipping a beat. Is it out already? I thought it’d only be out by


    the afternoon. She headed to the meeting room with a mixture of fear and excitement coursing through


    her veins.


    The rest of the staff members from the design department were already there, but Felicia had yet to


    arrive. Alice shot Anastasia a cold re as Anastasia sat down opposite her. Anastasia merely cast her


    an uninterested nce.


    “I wonder if it’s Alice or Anastasia who won the prize! I’m so excited! That’s 1 million worth of cash right


    there.” One of the junior designers made the atmosphere tenser on purpose.


    “We’ll find out once the director arrives,” another person replied. Right then, Felicia walked into the roomThis content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    and nced at the twopetitors before taking a seat at the table. “The sponsored meal that you guys


    have been waiting for has been approved. Would you guys like to eat together tonight?”


    “Of course! We’d love a feast, Director Evans,” someone cried. Both Alice and Anastasia exchanged


    nces. Judging by the look on Felicia’s face, they could tell that someone in thepany must have


    won a prize. The winner had to be one of them.


    A look of jealousy shed in Alice’s gaze. It’s obvious. It has to be Anastasia. “Alright! Let’s organize


    dinner for tonight! Well, I’m going to proceed with announcing the winners and the prizes that they will


    receive. Firstly, I’d like to congratte the champion of this jewelry designpetition


    -Anastasia! You’ve won a total of 1 million!”


    Anastasia heard a loud ringing sound in her ears before Felicia even finished her sentence. Me? Am I


    the winner? Does the 1 million belong to me? Her heart was filled with joy at that moment-she had finally


    gotten the money she needed for her son.


    Felicia turned to Alice before she continued speaking. “Thepany decided to also provide some


    rewards to those who were selected, so Alice gets 20,000 as a constion prize.” Alice curled her lips up


    into a sarcastic smile. A constion prize, huh? What a joke.


    Right then, the room erupted into apuse as Anastasia found herself drowned by a bunch of wishes.


    She hastily thanked the people who congratted her before turning to thank Felicia. “Thank you for


    your encouragement and support, Director Evans.”


    “You got this because of your own skills, Anastasia. Continue to work hard, okay? Alright, the meeting’s


    over. You guys can decide on a ce to have dinner tonight.”


    Felicia stepped out of the room, and Anastasia was just about to leave when Alice crossed her arms and


    let out a scoff. “Don’t you feel any shame for taking this 1 million, Anastasia?”


    “Why should I feel ashamed?” Anastasia asked in return. She was confident about her own work.


    “I don’t think you should thank Director Evans. Maybe you should thank President Presgrave instead-I


    bet you only got this prize because he put in a good word for you. He was the one who gave you this 1


    million. I wouldn’t have the nerve to take this money if I were you!”


    Alice let out a scoff and walked out after finishing her sentence. Anastasia was the only one left in the


    meeting room after that, and her mind went nk for a few seconds.
