Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 648

Chapter 648

That was why even if she would earn infamy for what she would do in future. she didn’t mind as she was

willing to do it for Elliot. All these years when she was abroad, all she could think of was him. She would

search for information regarding him and whenever she saw him on the financial news, she would be

happy for the longest time.

In the evening when night fell, the evening banquet just got underway. Anastasia was dressed in a white

fitted mermaid dress which accentuated her attractive curves. At the banquet, Elliot went to a few tables

and chatted with the guests. A few of the major shareholders from the Presgrave Group were seated.

next to him. On the other hand, Anastasia made eye contact with Sophia while she was seated, and both

of them smiled as their eyes met.

Since Lorelei didn’t have the appetite, she chatted with her peers while her

attention was on Elliot, who was seated. not far from her. Tonight, he was dressed in a black fitted suit

and as he sat among older men, he exuded a calm disposition

which didn’t match his age. He was all smiles that night and seeing him smile made her heart flutter.

Lorelai then turned her attention to Anastasia, who was chatting with Harriet. She was paying close

attention to what Harriet was saying and when the elderly woman replied to her, the way she looked at

Anastasia was full of love. Lorelai then thought that what her father said might be true. Back then when

Anastasia’s mother rescued Elliot, she had already lost the battle since the position of Mrs. Presgrave

was fated to be Ansatasia’s.

Just then, Lorelai noticed that Elliot got up to answer a call. She then seamlessly took her phone out,

pretending to make a call.

“You guys start eating first. I’m going to make a call,” she whispered to her peer who was seated next to

her. After that, she stood up and walked toward the door that Elliot exited.

The night view of the garden was enchanting. Paired with the vast sea view, it was a view worth

admiring. After Elliot

ended the brief call, he turned around to enter the hall.

Suddenly, he bumped into someone and immediately took a few steps back. Seeing that it was Lorelai,

he smiled and greeted, “Lorelai.”

“I’m so sorry, Elliot. I hope I didn’t startle you! I was here to make a call.” Lorelai apologized.

“Not at all.”

With the phone in her hand, she tilted her head slightly and looked at him from head to toe. “Elliot, you

looked dashing tonight!”

“Thank you,” Elliot replied with a smile.

Just then, she got close to him and said, “Elliot, your tie is slanted. Let me…”

As she reached her hands out trying to adjust his tie, Elliot took a step back dexterously and said,

“Lorelai, I can do it myself.”

Right after, he adjusted his tie and walked

past her before saying. ‘I’ll be going in.”

She was so nervous that she was holding her breath while a sense of astonishment flashed across her

eyes. At the same time, she was disappointed.

When Elliot entered the hall, he went back to his seat and sat next to Anastasia. Knowing that he had

been drinking the entire night, she placed some food on his plate and urged him to have something to

eat.

Elliot then smiled and ate as instructed. Harriet, who was sitting next to them, was happy to see that. If

she wasn’t around next time, she knew that someone would be there to take good care of this grandchild

of hers.

There was another activity planned at around 9.00PM that night, which was at night sea tour. Three

luxury yachts had been prepared to bring the guests out to sea.

Since noon, Jacob had been noticing Sophia. Up till now, he was still holding in the urge to go say hi to

her, as Arthur was by her side. Jacob didn’t want to offend

Arthur, as the latter’s identity was rather mysterious and unusual. However, Jacob was dissatisfied at

how Arthur was having Sophia to himself. Finally, he came to a conclusion that she didn’t belong to

anyone and that he had the right to pursue her. At last, Arthur left his seat and Sophia was left sitting

alone. Jacob mustered all his courage and walked toward her.

“Sophia.” He grabbed onto the back of the chair as he greeted her.

“Jacob.” She greeted him politely.

“Sophia, there’s a night sea tour later on. Would you like to join us? My friends are going too and you

should come along!”
