Chapter 257 We Must Repay Their Kindness
Anastasia took the bottle and unscrewed the lid to drink it. Just then, footsteps were heard in the
corridor, and they were coming from the corner of the elevator. Anastasia couldn’t help but glance over
curiously while drinking her water.
Pfff! When she saw who it was, she instantly choked on her drink.
It was Elliot and Rey who came uninvited.
Elliot strode in with his strong and slender legs. At the same time, he exuded a powerful aura that
forced anyone on his way to look at him.
Why is he here?
When he saw that Anastasia was standing beside Alex and was seemingly chatting with him, he
narrowed his eyes dangerously. He didn’t like the fact that men were always around Anastasia.
“President Presgrave, what brings you here?” Anastasia walked up to him politely.
“President Presgrave came because he is concerned about your father,” Rey explained with a smile.
“Thank you for your concern. My dad will be discharged by noon.” Anastasia looked at Elliot gratefully.

With that, Anastasia led him into Francis’ ward. When she pushed open the door, she informed her
father, who was playing with Jared. “Dad, President Presgrave is here to see you.”
Francis immediately felt overwhelmed. Beside him, Jared exclaimed, “Is Mr. Presgrave here?”
Right then, Elliot entered the ward, his gaze turning gentle upon seeing Jared. “You’re here too, Jared!”
“Hi, Mr. Presgrave.” Jared walked up to him and held his hand before they both walked hand-in-hand to
Francis’ bed.
“Young Master Elliot, why did you come all the way? It must have been bothersome. Why did you buy
all these gifts too?” Francis felt flattered because he was grateful that Elliot was willing to save his
company, so why would he still come all the way to visit him?
“It’s no big deal. I was so worried when I heard that you were hospitalized.” Elliot looked at Francis with
concern, and he was also aware that Francis was eager to know what would happen to his company. “I
already settled the acquisition of your company.”
“So soon? How did you do it?!” Francis exclaimed in astonishment. “Did Lawrence agree to give up on
acquiring my company?”
Rey, who was standing at the side, smiled while answering, “Old Master Tillman, you might not know
about it, but President Presgrave has long been worried that your company will be acquired, so he has
prepared for this beforehand. We’ll acquire their company soon, so you don’t have to worry about it
anymore.”
Hearing that, Francis was shocked yet relieved. At the same time, he also witnessed the power of
wealth and power. That was the cruel reality of the business world that resembled a battlefield. Like a
food chain, the strong ones would feed on the weak ones. Though his company was small, Lawrence’s
company eventually couldn’t escape the fate of being acquired by another bigger company.
Standing on the side, Anastasia was also dumbfounded. Elliot acquired Lawrence’s company?! When
she thought about how the old man bragged and yelled in front of her father yesterday, she could finally
breathe a sigh of relief.

“Thank you for your concern. I’m really grateful for your efforts.” Francis was so overwhelmed that his
eyes turned red. He looked into Elliot’s eyes as if the latter were a parent who provided for him all their
life.
At the same time, Anastasia couldn’t help but cast a look of gratitude at Elliot. She wasn’t capable of
supporting her father, but Elliot managed to boost up her father’s confidence in front of his rival.
“This is what I should do, Mr. Tillman.” Elliot stayed true to his words that he would do anything for the
Tillman family.
Jared, who was standing beside Elliot, seemed to have sensed the atmosphere. He hugged Elliot and
raised his head at him, saying, “You’re a good man, Mr. Presgrave. You saved Grandpa’s company and
even helped my mom out a lot.”
“Haha. I’m doing this willingly.”
“Mommy, you said we should be grateful to anyone who helps us and repay their kindness. Now that
Mr. Presgrave helped us, do you have to repay his kindness?” Jared didn’t know that the Presgrave
family was indebted to his grandmother, so based on his understanding, his mother had to repay
Elliot’s kindness.
“That’s right, Jared! We must repay their kindness if they help us!” Anastasia took the opportunity to
educate her son.
