Chapter 370 Meeting at the Police Station

Anastasia quickly explained, “No, Dad. It has nothing to do with him. He adores Jared, but I don’t like him

anymore.”

Somehow, she felt bad for Elliot when her father scolded him.

Francis was once again surprised. “Why do you not like him anymore?”

As she raised her head to look at her father, she wondered how her father felt about losing his wife and

being forced to live on with his only daughter.

“Dad, have you ever hated the Presgraves?”

After pondering for a few seconds, he responded, “What’s the use of hating them? Your mother was

responsible for saving them back then, after all.”

“Do you think it would’ve been possible for Mom to live if she hadn’t been so devoted to her job?”

Anastasia inquired as she sat beside Francis.

“Why do you ask? Did you break up with Young Master Elliot because you can’t accept the fact that your

mother sacrificed to save him?” Francis was now looking at her with a heartbroken expression.

“Yes.” Anastasia nodded.

“However, I know your mother. If a child was going to be killed in front of her, she would’ve definitely

gone out of her way to save him.”

“Is it possible that she rescued him under pressure? He was the only heir of the Presgrave Family, after

all.” Anastasia looked at her father, knowing that he must not have been aware that Old Madam

Presgrave had threatened the mayor.

“The situation was very chaotic and critical at that time. The kidnapper grabbed Young Master Elliot by

the neck and was about to cut his head off. Who would have the heart to see such a tragedy happen?

Your mother was the closest to him, so she knocked the killer down with all her might before pulling

Young Master Elliot into her arms. The kidnapper then stabbed her like a madman. Later on, the others

rescued Young Master Elliot while the kidnapper was shot dead on the spot. Sadly, your mother passed

away.”

Anastasia closed her eyes and imagined the scene before her. She began to cry because she was so

heartbroken.

“Alright. If you can’t accept it, let’s cut ties with the Presgraves. As long as it doesn’t make you sad,”

Francis comforted her. He could understand her feelings.

After dinner, Francis offered, “Why don’t you work at my company? I should teach you how to manage

the company now.”

“Are you sure you want to hand the company to me, Dad?” Anastasia looked at him. After all, he had

another daughter as well.

“I can only count on you. Do you think I can put my hopes on Erica?” Francis sighed. “She has been

spoiled and pampered since young, so she only knows how to spend money lavishly. At least there is

some hope if I pass the company to you. I just hope you don’t treat your sister badly in the future.”

All of a sudden, Anastasia felt burdened. She nodded and answered, “Okay. After I send Jared to school

tomorrow, I’ll come by the office.”

She added, “I also have one more thing to tell you; I’ve found the main culprit behind Mom’s death

already. He’s Riley Presgrave, Elliot’s uncle.”

“What? Are you sure?”

“He was the main culprit behind Elliot’s kidnapping case, and Elliot will re-investigate his charges. If they

require your cooperation in the future, please cooperate with them so that we can arrest this murderer

and bring Mom justice as soon as possible.”

“Okay, I will give my full cooperation if needed.” Of course, Francis wouldn’t let the murderer go.

After sending her father off, Anastasia’s phone rang. When she glanced at the name on the screen, she

quivered slightly.

It was Elliot.

After taking a deep breath, Anastasia picked up the phone. “Hello?”

“The police will summon you tomorrow to make a statement. Does Jared have a place to go?”

“I’ll be sending him to school,” Anastasia replied.

“Okay, do you need me to accompany you tomorrow?”

“No. I’ll be fine,” Anastasia refused and hung up.

After sending her son to school early the next morning, Anastasia rushed to the police station with Grace

to make a statement.

They explained the whole process of the kidnapping incident. Anastasia’s subsequent experiences were

also recorded, but she did not mention what Riley had told her.

When they came out of the police station, they bumped into Elliot.

Anastasia was aware of when he had arrived, as well as why he was waiting there.

“Hello, President Presgrave,” Grace greeted in surprise.

“You should head back to the company first, Grace!” Anastasia said to Grace.

“Sure. I’ll be taking my leave, then.” Grace didn’t want to interrupt the little couple.
