Chapter 272


    Chapter 272 A Common Enemy


    Erica stammered and asked, “There is something I’ve been wanting to tell you. Fate has brought me


    together with the Presgrave Family. I once saved someone from the Presgrave Family, and now they’re


    repaying me by taking good care of me, which is why I’ve been invited to Old Madam Presgrave’s


    birthday feast.”


    “Tell me how you got to know the Presgrave Family. What have you done to make them appreciate you


    so much?” Erica curiously asked, wondering how Hayley got so lucky to know the Presgrave Family.


    “I’m afraid I can’t tell you why right now, but I know we both have something inmon to do when we


    get there—to turn the Presgrave Family against Anastasia. We’re going to make them hate her so much


    that she’ll never live it down again,” Hayley said.

    Erica echoed Hayley’s feelings and expressed her thoughts of resentment. “You’re absolutely right. We


    must work together and undermine Anastasia’s rtionship with Elliot because she must never marry


    into the Presgrave Family.”


    “I’ll figure out a n, so just cooperate with me by then.” Hayley was usually the mastermind with ideas.


    In the meantime, Erica had always known Hayley was a shrewddy, so she nodded her head in


    agreement. “You can be sure I will because I want to humiliate Anastasia during the feast just as much


    as you do.” Although Erica had no idea how Hayley got to know the Presgrave Family, she received a


    present, which was a ne worth 500 thousand, from Hayley before they left. Upon receiving the


    ne, Erica fell in love with her new gift and was instantly bought over by Hayley. Because of that,


    she didn’t even bother to learn more about the rtionship between Hayley and the Presgrave Family as


    she was now thinking about how to warm up to Hayley. Guess what? I mustn’t look down upon Hayley


    anymore.


    On the other hand, Anastasia was sitting in her office while working on her draft design on azy


    afternoon. With inspirations and ideas flowing through her mind, she added some modifications to Elliot’s


    ne to make it look thicker so that it would entuate the wearer’s manliness. However, as she


    continued to work on her draft design, she suddenly felt like drawing the man’s face out of a whim.


    Although Elliot seemed like the perfectly handsome man who looked wless from all angles, she


    wanted to draw the man when he toasted her thest time with his gentle eyes showing on his face.


    Thus, she proceeded to spend her entire afternoon drawing Elliot. Needless to say, she would not say a


    single word about the portrait to anyone because she intended to admire it herself and kill boredom.


    In the meantime, Elliot had spent his entire afternoon in a conference meeting in his study while the child


    was busy ying with his Lego in the game room. Upon taking a look at the time, he stood up and


    walked out of the study, wondering what Anastasia was doing since his study was on the same floor as


    Anastasia’s office. Therefore, he decided to find out and walked toward her office.


    Meanwhile, Elliot’s portrait came to life on the piece of paper, thanks to Anastasia’s skillful drawing.


    Then, she went on to amend his eyebrows a little, making them seem less hairy because the man had


    thick and long eyebrows. Now, his eyes look perfect. After amending the eyebrows, the man in the


    drawing looked so vivid as Anastasia admired her own masterpiece with a teacup in her hand, wondering


    how biased fate was to let a man so handsome like him exist.


    At that moment, Anastasia heard someone knocking on the door, so she quickly grabbed anything


    around her to cover her draft before she looked at the door and said, “Come in.” When the door was


    open, Elliot’s charming silhouette came into view, causing an anxious look to sh across Anastasia’s


    face. Nheless, she stood up and asked, “What’s the matter?”


    “Is my ne design ready?” Elliot asked, leaning closer to thedy’s desk.


    Anastasia passed the draft she had justpleted to the man. “Here you go. Take a look and see


    whether you like it.”


    Elliot took a closer look at the draft, admiring the beauty and elegance when the ne chains


    intertwined together. At the sight of the wonderful masterpiece, he nodded his head satisfactorily and


    said, “Not bad. I like it.”
