Chapter 371 As soon as Grace left, Anastasia looked at Elliot as the man stood in front of her. Even though she tried
hard to control her expression, she couldn’t contain the bitterness that spread in her heart.
Suddenly, Elliot let out a cough, which caused Rey to remind him, “President Presgrave, you forgot to
take your medicine this morning.”
Anastasia’s gaze immediately locked on Elliot. For some reason, after two days of not seeing him, she
felt that he had lost weight and his face had paled. Did he catch a cold?
He shook his head. When he looked at her, she quickly turned away, not wanting him to think that she
was worried.
“I’m here to make a statement too,” uttered Elliot in a low voice.
“Okay. Go ahead!” After saying that, Anastasia turned around and wanted to leave.
Rey quickly took the opportunity to offer, “Miss Tillman, let me send you off.”
As she walked toward her car, he followed suit and said, “Please be gentle with President Presgrave s

,
As she tightened her grip on the door handle, she uttered, “Tell him to take his medication on time!”
“Sure. Drive safely, Miss Tillman.” Rey had mentioned everything that he had to say,
Once Anastasia left the police station, she drove to her father’s company. Throughout the drive, all she
could think of was Elliot’s pale face. He’s an adult! How can he forget to take his medication? Even my
son can remember such an easy task.
When Anastasia arrived at Tillman Constructions, she entered her father’s office. There were a few key
personnel in a meeting with him as he instructed her to take a seat and sit in for the meeting.
She tried her best to understand their conversation. However, she wasn’t familiar with the construction
industry at all, so she had a hard time comprehending the minutes of their meeting.
At lunchtime, Alex came. The moment he saw Anastasia, he couldn’t help but feel butterflies in his
stomach like he usually did.
Knowing that Anastasia and Elliot would never end up together, Francis eagerly attempted to matchmake
Alex with his daughter again.
Alex was a sensitive person, so he was ecstatic when he heard from Francis that he had a chance to
woo her again!
Though he didn’t know why Anastasia had broken up with Elliot, it was still an ending that he anticipated!
“Anastasia, I’ll let Alex accompany you in the afternoon while I meet some friends,” said Francis to
Anastasia
She nodded in response. After experiencing the event that followed after picking up her son last time,
Alex intentionally brought her for a tour of one of the departments. As expected, when Anastasia realized
it was time to pick her son up from school, they didn’t have time to finish the tour.
“I should leave to pick Jared up now. Can you send me to his school, Alex?”
“Of course!” exclaimed Alex.
Then, he drove her to pick her son up where he silently observed her on the way there. He noticed how
she looked gloomy throughout the car ride. It was obvious that she was having a rough time er
relationship.
When they arrived at the school, Anastasia rushed out of the car to meet Jared and left her phone in the
car.

screen. He picked it up intentionally and said, “Hello, President
P rave? I’m sorry to inform you that Anastasia’s phone isn’t with her.”
“Who are you?” Elliot’s voice sounded chilly.
“I’m Alex Hunter. We’ve met before, President Presgrave.”
“Where is she?” an unhappy Elliot questioned.
“She’s gone to pick Jared up, and I’m waiting for her at the school gates. Is there something you want to
tell her? I’ll pass on the message for you.”
“It’s fine.”After saying that, Elliot hung up the call.
Hearing that, Alex smirked. His purpose was to create a false impression that he was close with
Anastasia so that Elliot would be jealous and disappointed in her,
Little did he know that this phone call was more than just a disappointment to Elliot.
Elliot, who was sitting in Rey’s car, suddenly felt suffocated and started coughing violently. Seeing that,
Rey quickly parked his car by the roadside and opened the backseat door while asking, “President
Presgrave, are you alright?”
