Chapter 172


    Rey had gone for facial expression management sses before but right now, he couldn’t contain


    himself andughed out loud. “President Presgrave, the truckload of Musang King durians that you


    ordered for Miss Tillman was distributed to the entirepany. The problem is, Miss Tillman gave the


    credit to you.”


    Elliot’s handsome expression stiffened slightly when he heard that. “Is that so?”


    “Yeah. Anyway, everyone’s full of gratitude for you.” As soon as Rey finished saying that, he instantly


    covered his lips and burst intoughter before quickly stifling hisughter while he covered his mouth


    once again.


    “It’s fine tough.” Elliot shot Rey a look. I just didn’t expect her to be so generous and actually distribute


    everything.


    Suddenly, Elliot recalled something and he instantly took his cell phone and dialed his grandmother’s


    number.


    “Hello, Elliot. Do you have something to talk to me about?” Harriet’s voice rang out.


    “Grandma, I would like to have lunch with you today. We haven’t seen each other for days.”


    “I’d prefer to have dinner together. I have a lunch date today.”

    “What sort of lunch date is it? Can I join you?”


    “It wouldn’t be convenient.” Harriet spoke up frankly.


    “It’s just a meal.”


    “Well, I’ll be frank with you. I have a lunch date with Nigel and Anastasia today. I wanted to talk to them


    about their engagement the other day. I’ve decided that it’s time to pick a date for them.”


    “Include me for the lunch date, then! I want to join the meal too,” Elliot responded with a smile.


    “Okay. I don’t mind you joining us, but don’t you dare mess things up!”


    “Don’t worry. I won’t do that.” Elliot curved his lips into a smile. I’m not going to mess things up because


    this won’t go to n anyway.


    in a blink of an eye, it was 11.20 AM and Anastasia nced at her cell phone from time to time as she


    waited for Harriet to call her regarding the lunch date.


    Just then, Anastasia’s cell phone rang and she quickly grabbed it to take a look. Indeed, it was Harriet on


    the line, so she took a deep breath before answering the phone. “Hello, Old Madam Presgrave.” ;


    “Anastasia, you cane downstairs now. My car is about to reach the entrance of yourpany.” It


    turned out that Harriet hade in person to fetch Anastasia.


    At that moment, Anastasia felt quite ttered and she revealed a smile. “Okay, I’ll be downstairs shortly.”


    Anastasia walked out of the entrance to see a ck car parked by the entrance, and the dominantly


    disyed golden logo of the Rolls-Royce was unmistakable.


    The driver personally got out to open the door for Anastasia as she expressed her gratitude. “Thank


    you.”


    “You’re wee, Miss Tillman,” the driver replied.


    And so, Anastasia got into the back passenger seat and saw that Harriet was dressed elegantly in a dark


    purple dress lined with golden threads. The button of the dress was made out of ruby and it was clear to


    the eye that it was a hand-made,missioned piece.

    “Hello, Old Madam Presgrave!” Anastasia greeted Harriet.


    “It’s been days since west met. What happened to your finger?” Harriet instantly noticed Anastasia’s


    bandaged finger.


    “It’s fine. I identally hurt myself.”


    “Was it a bad cut?”


    “It’s not too serious. It’s just a minor cut.” Anastasia curled up her lips and smiled. Upon hearing that,


    Harriet nodded her head. “Try to be more careful next time.” With that, the elderly woman nced out of


    the car window at the building in front. “Do you work here?”


    “Yeah.”


    “That’s great. Elliot has taken over yourpany, so it’s part of our family business now. It would be


    much easier for us to help you out in the future.”


    Meanwhile, Anastasia felt quite uneasy. Elliot had not only taken over Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier for the


    sake of helping a lowly staff like her, but he had actually bought over the world-renowned QR


    International Group that backed the Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier brand.


    “Old Madam Presgrave, I’m fine so there’s no need to go all the way out to help me,” Anastasia


    expressed her sincere gratitude.


    “You don’t have to be shy, child. We are obliged to do that. I’m also trying to redeem myself by helping


    you. It makes me feel slightly better by doing so.” Harriet’s eyes were red-rimmed as she spoke. “I am


    forever indebted to your mother and there’s nothing I can do to fully repay her in this lifetime.”


    Surprised, Anastasia asked, “Old Madam Presgrave, why would you say so?”


    “You might not realize this, but both Elliot’s parents’ passed away at the same time back then and I had


    to single-handedly hold the fort for the entire Presgrave Group. At the same time, I had to bring up a


    young Elliot. At that point in life, I held all of my hopes upon Elliot, so if something bad had urred to


    him, I would have lost the remaining pir of strength in my life. Your mother’s ultimate sacrifice gave us


    the Presgrave Group that we have today.”
