Chapter 283 His Uncle Appeared

At the same time, Elliot’s hand, which was placed on Anastasia’s back, moved to Anastasia’s shoulder

and he softly whispered in her ear, “Take good care of them on my behalf, Anastasia.”

Her face immediately flushed red. His words had another meaning: he did not see her as a guest but as

a member of his family.

“Mr. Presgrave, you look handsome tonight!” Jared praised him.

“The same goes for you.” Elliot leaned down and rubbed Jared’s head with his big palm. “I’ll play with you

later.”

“Okay!” Jared nodded considerately.

Then, Elliot moved to the other tables. Anastasia only looked at him when he left and she noticed Rey

was actually following Elliot around. Though Elliot had Rey with him, it was clear that he was the only

pillar of the Presgrave Family. Thinking of this, she suddenly sensed his loneliness in the midst of the

bustling atmosphere.

Her heart ached for him when she realized he was the only one supporting the Presgrave Group.

Outsiders only saw his glamorous side, but who could understand how much effort he had exercised and

how lonely he was?

Even the food tasted bitter to her now. When she looked at him again, she noticed that he was still

dominant despite being alone, as if he had the world behind him.

Meanwhile, Elliot had arrived at Hayley’s table. Since everyone at this table was the Presgrave Family’s

younger generation, he toasted them patronizingly and left after a few unimportant greetings. Hayley

didn’t even get a chance to brag about how close she was to him.

“Hayley, since you’re so close to the Presgrave Family, are you familiar with Elliot then?” Erica asked

curiously.

“Everything I have now was given by him. What do you think?” Hayley boastfully answered.

“What? Are you that close to him? Then…” Erica was tongue-tied upon hearing that as envy and

jealousy began to fill her heart.

“I’ll tell you more about it later.” Hayley did not want to explain further at the dining table, but Erica

remained shocked and envious of Hayley’s words. What is she keeping from me? Is she hiding

something?

Hayley wasn’t afraid of telling Erica about her relationship with Elliot too since Erica would never have

the chance to be in contact with Elliot. Besides, Erica was a simpleton; Hayley could easily come up with

something to fool her.

All of the guests had finished their dinner by 8.00PM and it was time to head to the birthday celebration

hall to extend their birthday greetings. Nigel came over to take Jared away and Anastasia followed

Francis out of the dining hall.

The birthday celebration hall already had lively music playing with lights flashing while all the guests

were talking cheerfully. Overall, it was a joyous scene. The elders, who were close relatives of the

Presgrave Family, were the first to wish Harriet. While they were doing so, Anastasia had the sudden

urge to take a walk outside to relieve her mind.

“Dad, you all should head over first. I’ll be there later.”

Then, Anastasia chose a less busy road and walked down it. That night, the sky was breathtaking. After

being used to the hustle and bustle of the city, it felt great to be there in this vast and spacious villa for a

while.

The hustling sound behind her gradually faded. She was surprised to see a firefly by the lake after only a

few minutes of walking. She hadn’t seen one in more than ten years, so she couldn’t help but follow it.

As she approached another villa nearby, she heard a man’s voice that sounded familiar to her as he

asked someone coldly, “Why are you here? Get out.”

Hearing that, Anastasia halted her steps. Is this Elliot? He’s here?

She panicked at this moment and subconsciously hid under the window. Outside the opened window, the

sound inside the villa could be clearly heard.

“My dear nephew, do you no longer recognize me as your uncle?” This was a middle-aged man’s voice.

“I’m not going to let you ruin my grandmother’s birthday party. Get out right now.” Elliot’s voice reflected

both his warning and his rage.

“Your grandma is my stepmother as well, and hence, I should show my respect to her. Don’t stop me

from doing so, will you?” The man’s voice sounded as if he was pleading with Elliot.

However, Elliot remained extremely hostile toward the man. “You’re not even qualified to see her. The

Presgrave Family has no room for you either. Don’t blame me for being ruthless if you insist.”
