Chapter 621
Night of Destiny
Thatâs why youâre subduing the others in the family so as to not steal the limelight from Elliot. This
ridiculous rule should have been abolished ages ago!â
âWatch your words, Henry. It is my grandsonâs wedding soon and you mustnât cause a ruckus. If you
donât wanna attend the wedding, you can leave.â Harriet didnât budge an inch.
Hearing the stomping footsteps, Anastasia hastily sneaked into the wing. in which she watched a
furious man leave the house. She could recognize the familiar face-he was none other than Elliotâs
grandancle, as well as Tylerâs younger cousin.
Right then, Harrietâs voice pulled Anastasia back from her reverie. âAnastasia, come on in.â
Anastasia jumped a little, for she had not expected Harriet to notice her presence. She apologized as
soon as she went inside. âIâm sorry, Grandma. It wasnât on purpose.â
Harriet beckoned Anastasia to come over. âCome here, Anastasia. It doesnât matter because you gotta
know all these. You will take over my position and handle every household matter soon.â
The weight on Anastasiaâs shoulders felt.
heavier when she heard that. Obviously, means and coercion were needed at times to administer such
a big family.
âThatâs my cousin-in-law. Elliot calls him Granduncle. It isnât the first time asking me to allow their family
to join the board of directors of Presgrave Group. And Iâve always refused to do that.â Harriet sighed
before continuing, âI must separate work and my personal life. According to the family rules, the kids
arenât allowed to work in the Presgrave Group. We can help them to build their wealth, but we canât
share wealth. Do you get it?â
Anastasia nodded as she knew that there was a reason for such a rule to exist.
âThey might think that Iâll pity them and bend the rules because of my old age. They keep forcing me to
change it.. Anastasia, youâll be the one managing this kind of matter, but Iâm afraid that they will put you
into a tough position due to your young age.â Harriet was feeling helpless.
Needless to say, Anastasia was already feeling the pressure as she nodded. âI will do my best to
handle everything.â
âOf course, Iâll teach you how in future. Right now, all you have to do is to
prepare for the wedding. Donât sweat about others,â soothed Harriet.
âI will. Grandma, whereâs Jared?â
âNigel took him out early in the morning. They get along well.â Harriet broke into a smile.
âThen, shall we go out for a walk together? Anastasia decided to accompany the old woman to brighten
her mood.
âGreat idea. Iâll introduce you to other family members along our way too.â Then, they headed outside..
Every single time they bumped into the Presgraves, Harriet never failed to remember their names and
relationship, impressing Anastasia with her sharp memory despite the old woman being in her 80s.
While Anastasia was busy understanding more about her family, Elliot was busy welcoming some
important guests from abroad.
At the same time, it was another same old day of cooping in the villa for Sophia,
who was dying from boredom in Villa
No. 58. Although Arthur was present as
well, he had been using his laptop in the
living room the whole time. When she was staring at the sea from the balcony, she heard a voice
coming from
the courtyard. âSophia.â
