NovelEnglishChapter 263 What's Most Important Is Her Son's Safety “He's always been on my radar, so | know everything he’s doing.” Elliot looked up with beaming confidence in his eyes.
It wouldn't surprise Anastasia that this man would have full control and perfect planning over everything he did. So she believed him when he said Lawrence might get back at her father.”I'd like to take an extended leave.” Anastasia thought she should go into hiding for some time. She had to ensure Jared's safety, even if she had to sacrifice work. More than that, she had to remind her father to be extra careful lately.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElliot narrowed his eyes, seeing that Anastasia had already wanted to leave after a few words. “Relax. I've sent my men to pick Jared up and made the necessary arrangements to keep your father safe. I've got you covered.” Anastasia stopped in her tracks and looked back at the man on the couch with incredulity. He had taken Jared away?! “Where's my son?!” she asked in shock.
“He's at my home right now. From now on, you and Jared have to stay at my place. Don't run around. Do you think you'll be safe just because you go into hiding? Lawrence once roamed the underworld; he has powerful connections.” Anastasia’s heart skipped a beat reflexively. He has already arranged everything?! “Thanks, but | can protect Jared myself.” Anastasia thought she should turn down his kindness. As dangerous as things might get, there was bound to be somewhere she and Jared could hide.
“So far, only | can give you and Jared absolute safety.” Elliot looked over at her, exceptionally confident.
“l—" Just as she wanted to retort, he cut her off. “Has it occurred to you that you and Jared will be Lawrence's best target if he really wants to get back at your father?” Anastasia’s heart stopped beating for a split second, shocked. Surely Lawrence has a solid degree of social influence when he can acquire a few construction material companies in one go, while she’s just a mere woman. Will she really be able to keep her son safe? Elliot softened up, seeing that she was still deliberating. “I really like Jared, and | don’t want anything bad to happen to him. I'm sure you don't, too.” “But...” Anastasia sighed and looked toward him. “It makes me feel bad that my family and | have to keep troubling you.” “You think you're troubling me, but | don’t. 'm most at ease when you guys are with me. | won't feel good either if anything happens to you guys.” Elliot looked deeply into her eyes.
Anastasia fell silent for a moment, struggling to decide before she finally looked up at the man in front of her. “Then Jared and | will have to bother you for some time.” “Protecting you guys is something | should do.” “Have you told my dad about this?" “Don't worry. I'll send my men to keep an eye on the situation at your dad's,” Elliot reassured her.
Anastasia’s jumpy heart had now calmed thanks to him. It was like he had the power to make people trust him completely.

Francis was composed, having gone through most things in life. He was happy to learn that Elliot would protect his daughter and grandson, so he reminded, “Anastasia, don't feel bad and don't let Young Master Presgrave think his kindness is for nothing. You and Jared just stay by Young Master Presgrave’s side with peace of mind!” “You be careful too, Dad.” “Don't worry about me! I've been through most things in life already. Situations like this are inevitable in the commercial industry,” Francis comforted.
In actuality, the only reason Francis could act so calmly was that he had Elliot's help. Even if Lawrence was no good guy, he couldn’t do just anything he wanted in front of the Presgraves.
Later, Anastasia lied to Felicia, saying she wanted to look after her father for a week, and Felicia approved her leave without a second thought. But she hoped Anastasia could finish the order worth ten million during her time off.
And Anastasia couldn't help feeling awkward. She wondered how Felicia would react if she knew this big client was the great President Presgrave upstairs.
After all that was settled, Anastasia decided to head home and pack some clothes before hiding at Elliot's. When something like this had happened, no ego in this world was more important than her son’s safety anymore.
