Chapter 694
Night of Destiny
When Gordon heard Anastasiaâs words. the arrogance on his face instantly turned into panic. Even so,
he still pretended to be calm as he said, âPresident Tillman, you should at least provide evidence if you
want to convict me for such crimes.â
âEvidence? By the time I retrieve the evidence, that will also be the time when Iâll see you in court. Are
you sure you want to get things to such an ugly extent?â Anastasia questioned him while crossing her
arms in front of her chest.
Today, she wore a white blouse and a high-waist hip skirt. Dressing like this, she looked slender and
mesmerizing while radiating a domineering aura at the same time.
âYou should know that the team of lawyers under Presgrave Corporation wonât have mercy toward
anyone in court.â Anastasia stared at Gordon coldly with her pair of beautiful orbs.
When he heard her words, the arrogance he had when he first entered was immediately suppressed. At
this moment, he was scared out of his wits. Therefore,
he quickly smiled and pleaded, âPlease,
President Tillman. 1-1 accept this transfer
âOn second thought, itâs better for you to resign!â She was unwilling to give him a chance to continue
wasting time in the company.
Gordon was a man who had always been buoyant and impetuous. Therefore, he instantly clenched his
hands into a fist when he heard Anastasia asking him to resign. Glaring at her angrily, he wanted to lash
out. âYou-â
However, before he could get the chance to do so, the door behind him opened. Immediately after, two
bodyguards in suits speedily entered. As each bodyguard stood on the left and right side of Gordon, they
gave him death glares as if to remind him not to go overboard.
Once again, he calmed down his rage. Then, he snorted. âFine! Iâll resign.â
Once Gordon left, the bodyguards left Anastasiaâs office and guarded the entrance to her office.
Later, Anastasia received an internal phone call. Reaching out, she answered the call. âHello?â
âI heard that youâve fired a few of the executives.â Elliotâs low voice came from the other end of the
phone.
âWell, you know that I canât let him continue to bleed Bourgeois dry. I wonât tolerate the existence of such
a character in the company,â she explained. As she spoke, there was rather a resolute vibe in her tone.
âIâll support whatever my wife does, but make sure to tell me first when you encounter danger next time.â
Elliot reminded her. He had earlier received a SOS call from Grace. According to Grace, she said there
was a male manager who barged into Anastasiaâs office. Since Elliot was outside, he could only assign
the bodyguards to protect her first.
Anastasia wasnât psychologically scared of anyone unlike Elliot. Perhaps this had something to do with
her toughening herself up since young. Hearing Elliotâs words, she smiled and uttered, âSorry for
making you worry.â
âThe familyâs safety always comes first in my heart.â
When she heard the serious tone in his voice, she also looked at this matter in a more serious manner. âI
promise you that Iâll learn to protect myself.â
âRemember to ask Adriana to accompany you always,â Elliot exhorted.
Coincidentally, today was the day that Adriana was on leave. Thus, she wasnât on Anastasiaâs side.
However, Anastasia decided to keep quiet about this after she sensed how worried Elliot was.
âSure, got it. By the way, how are things at the financial summit?â
âIâve met a few acquaintances earlier, so Iâm probably going to be home a little late.â
Understanding the situation Elliot was in, Anastasia commented, âSure! Iâll coax Jared to sleep first then.â
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Hence, she could only add, âWell then, Iâll hang up first. Bye!â
He hummed as a reply to her.
After hanging up the phone, Grace came in to deliver an urgent document. Due to the fact that Bourgeois
had swiftly eliminated the âpestsâ in just a day and cleaned up the vibe in the office, those who intended
to dawdle became tense.
In the meantime, the financial summit was held inside a grandiose hall.
Standing in the center among a few of his foreign acquaintances, Elliot was discussing the future
economical direction and development with them.
At this moment, a sexy figure gradually approached them. With the staff pass hanging around her neck
and her alluring attire, Lorelai made her way toward Elliot with a smile on her face.
âElliot, what a coincidence,â Lorelai greeted.
Looking at her, he nodded. âLorelai.â
âElliot, I heard that youâre going to meet the richest person from Dansbury. It just so happens that Iâm
fluent in the language spoken in Dansbury. Let me be your translator.â She shamelessly started
promoting herself to him.
âThatâs fine. My translator will be here soon.â Elliot didnât wish to trouble her.
âElliot, give me a chance to help you!â Lorelai started whining with crystal clear eyes.
However, he simply waved his hand. âJust go ahead with your business!â After that, he brought his
assistant, Rey, and left.
Biting her rosy lips, Lorelai turned her and looked at Elliotâs straight and charming back silhouette.
Instantly, she felt down and depressed. Could it be that Elliot doesnât want to give me a chance to get
close to him just because Iâve shown signs of seduction last time?
If he thinks Iâll stop, then heâs wrong. Iâm not a person who would give up so easily! Since the day I was
born, I know that Iâm just a tool of interest that my Dad used to acquire
Presgrave Corporation. I have no way out, so I must endure the hardship and charge forward.
Later, when the party was held at 5:00PM, Lorelai purposely seduced a foreign businessman. She knew
this businessman had been lusting over her beauty and he even touched her from time to time. Even so,
she still decided to endure him in order to carry out her sinister plan later.
