Night of Destiny (Anastasia Tillman)

When Gordon heard Anastasia’s words. the arrogance on his face instantly turned into panic. Even so, he still pretended to be calm as he said, “President Tillman, you should at least provide evidence if you want to convict me for such crimes.” “Evidence? By the time | retrieve the evidence, that will also be the time when I'll see you in court. Are you sure you want to get things to such an ugly extent?” 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.

“You should know that the team of lawyers under Presgrave Corporation won't have mercy toward anyone in court.” 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, “Please, President Tillman. 1-1 accept this transfer “On second thought, it's better for you to resign!” 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. “You-" 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. “Fine! I'll resign.” Once Gordon left, the bodyguards left Anastasia’s office and guarded the entrance to her office.

Later, Anastasia received an internal phone call. Reaching out, she answered the call. “Hello?” “I heard that you've fired a few of the executives.” Elliot's low voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Well, you know that | can’t let him continue to bleed Bourgeois dry. | won't tolerate the existence of such a character in the company,” she explained. As she spoke, there was rather a resolute vibe in her tone.

“I'll support whatever my wife does, but make sure to tell me first when you encounter danger next time.” 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 Anastasia’s office. Since Elliot was outside, he could only assign the bodyguards to protect her first.

Anastasia wasn’t psychologically scared of anyone unlike Elliot. Perhaps this had something to do with her toughening herself up since young. Hearing Elliot's words, she smiled and uttered, “Sorry for making you worry.” “The family’s safety always comes first in my heart.” When she heard the serious tone in his voice, she also looked at this matter in a more serious manner. “I promise you that I'll learn to protect myself.” “Remember to ask Adriana to accompany you always,” Elliot exhorted.

Coincidentally, today was the day that Adriana was on leave. Thus, she wasn’t on Anastasia’s side. However, Anastasia decided to keep quiet about this after she sensed how worried Elliot was.

“Sure, got it. By the way, how are things at the financial summit?” “I've met a few acquaintances earlier, so I'm probably going to be home a little late.” Understanding the situation Elliot was in, Anastasia commented, “Sure! I'll coax Jared to sleep first then.” At this time, there was a knock on the door. Hence, she could only add, “Well then, I'll hang up first. Bye!” 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 ‘pests’ 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.

“Elliot, what a coincidence,” Lorelai greeted.

Looking at her, he nodded. “Lorelai.” “Elliot, I heard that you're going to meet the richest person from Dansbury. It just so happens that I'm fluent in the language spoken in Dansbury. Let me be your translator.” She shamelessly started promoting herself to him.

“That's fine. My translator will be here soon.” Elliot didn’t wish to trouble her.

“Elliot, give me a chance to help you!” Lorelai started whining with crystal clear eyes.

However, he simply waved his hand. “Just go ahead with your business!” After that, he brought his assistant, Rey, and left.

Biting her rosy lips, Lorelai turned her and looked at Elliot's straight and charming back silhouette. Instantly, she felt down and depressed. Could it be that Elliot doesn’t want to give me a chance to get close to him just because I've shown signs of seduction last time? If he thinks I'll stop, then he’s wrong. I'm not a person who would give up so easily! Since the day | was born, | know that I'm just a tool of interest that my Dad used to acquire Presgrave Corporation. | have no way out, so | 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.
