Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 531

Chapter 531

Elliot turned his head and gave Rey a dirty look, signaling the latter to shut up.

Anastasia was visibly stunned; inwardly, she was incredibly moved. He’s done so much behind the

scenes for my dad’s condition, she thought. “Thank you so much,” she said. Then, ignoring the crowd

coming and going around them, she flung her arms around Elliot’s neck and stood on tiptoe to kiss him

on the cheek.

Elliot put his muscular arms around her waist to make it easier for her to kiss him.

Rey turned around behind them while stifling a laugh. President Presgrave has to thank me for this.

Would Miss Tillman have been so moved if I hadn’t spoken out of turn?

After kissing Elliot, Anastasia held his hand, saying, “In that case, let’s go upstairs and take a look!”

Elliot nodded before heading for the elevator with her in his arms.

Rey didn’t go with them, though, Elliot had something else for him to do. Perhaps because he was too

disgusted with Alex, he ordered Rey to monitor Alex’s every move from now on. He wanted to get

something on Alex as soon as possible in order to send the latter to jail. Now that the latter was

obviously not capable enough of managing Tillman Constructions, he would definitely take some illegal

shortcuts, or he might want to wangle some money out of the company and then run away. Whatever he

wanted, he would certainly do something.

Standing in front of the French window, Anastasia looked at the few specialists, who were standing

before Francis’ sickbed in the middle of a discussion. Her heart was filled with hope and anticipation as

she hoped that they had a better way to bring him round.

Just then, Elliot came over to her from

behind with two cups of coffee in his hands.

Taking a cup of coffee from him, Anastasia turned to look at him, only to

see a somewhat tired look on his good looking face. Not only that, but there seemed to be dark circles

under his eyes, which caused her to feel sorry for him at once. “You didn’t sleep well last night? Did I

disturb you while we were sleeping?” she asked with self-reproach. The man’s beautifully-shaped eyes

were bloodshot, making her feel even sorrier for him.

Elliot curled his lips into a smile before gracefully taking a sip of his coffee. “Nope. You slept like a log.”

“Then why couldn’t you sleep well?” Anastasia was puzzled.

Elliot turned to look at her, but he was somewhat hesitant to speak. This woman probably has never

been romantically involved with a man before, which is why she’s clueless about men’s troubles. Well, it’s

not her fault. I’m glad that there’s

never been another man in her life. Not wanting to put her on the spot, he could only replace a random

excuse. “Nothing. It’s just that I slept late last night because I was too preoccupied with work.”

Anastasia took a drink of her coffee, which was aromatic and silky smooth. Somehow, looking at the

specialists standing before Francis’ bed, she felt even more reassured. These people are probably

leading medical authorities from different hospitals, so this guy must have done a lot of things for them to

show up in Dad’s ward together. For someone as proud as him, it must’ve been difficult to plead with

them in person. “Sorry for causing you so much trouble over what happened to my dad,” she said

sincerely.

“He’s not only your dad; he’s also my father-in-law. Isn’t it my duty to save my father-in-law?” Elliot asked

her in reply.

Anastasia was floored by his question

right away. For a moment, she didn’t

know what to say, so she could only let out a laugh. “Okay! If you say so, I’ll have

to marry you in the future.”

“That’s of course. Who are you gonna marry if not me?” Elliot had absolute confidence in himself.

Anastasia blinked her eyes. Seems like I won’t be getting the short end of the stick by marrying him. So,

I’m the one who has struck gold by taking advantage of him, right?

Meanwhile, Erica didn’t get to see Alex at the Tillman Residence that night. He said he had to visit a

client on business, so she stayed alone all night.

Unbeknownst to her, however, instead of going anywhere, he spent the night replaceing solace in Hayley.

Early the next morning, Erica left home in her car. However, when she drove out of the gate, a figure

suddenly dashed over and stopped her car. Startled, she hurriedly slammed on the brakes, upon which

she felt that she had knocked down

the person.

Frightened, she immediately opened the car door and got out of the car to take a look, only to see the

man who had lingered outside her home last night. He was lying on the ground, but it was obvious that

he wasn’t injured.
