Chapter 290 By All Means Possible

“I w-won’t get down if you don’t carry me.” The agitated Hayley held back a sob.

Elliot immediately stepped forward to carry her down in his arms, whereas Erica who stood aside kept

pointing her phone’s camera at them as she recorded the whole thing. Hayley had her arms hanging to

Elliot’s neck as she intimately leaned against his shoulder.

He then put her down on her bed, and he pried open her grip on him. “Have a good rest. Don’t take

things too hard.”

“Elliot, do you believe me? Do you believe that Anastasia was the one who pushed me into the water?”

she asked tearfully. She panickedly explained in order to make him believe her, “I didn’t mean to press

her head in the water. I was really scared at that time. All I know is I instinctively wanted to live. I didn’t

know that I held her in the water… I swear I didn’t mean to.”

“Take a rest first.” His eyes held a somber look in them. He knew exactly who to trust.

Between Hayley and Anastasia, he only trusted the latter.

“What is the point of living if you don’t believe me?” Emotionally perturbed, she struggled and wanted to

continue jumping out of the window.

Seeing that, he had no choice but to hold her down as he sighed, “Enough. You were just shocked.”

After saying that, he looked over to Daniel who had been responsible for taking care of Hayley’s affairs

all this time. He then said, “Danny, stay here and take care of Miss Seymour. The rest of you can leave.”

“Understood, President Presgrave,” the man replied with a nod.

“Elliot, don’t go. Elliot…” Despite how she tried to make him stay, he still unhesitantly left.

As soon as Erica came out of the door, she felt a deadly stare on her, only to find that it was from Elliot.

He exuded an overpowering aura as though he was The Devil himself. “Erica,” he warningly started, “I

won’t let you off the hook if you try starting something again.”

The short warning instantly turned her face pale as her heart trembled.

Right after Elliot left, Erica’s fear turned into resentment. She hated how unfair it was for him to treat

Anastasia like a treasure, and yet she had been spoken at in such a cruel tone even though they were

both women.

Harriet was in the banquet hall when she heard the startling report about how Hayley and Anastasia

were almost hurt in an accident, whereas Francis and Naomi only found out after Erica came back.

Francis wanted to go to Anastasia, but he was stopped by Naomi before he did.

“Don’t go, Francis. Anastasia should be resting. I am sure the Presgraves are taking care of her!”

“I agree with Mom! Why are you going to her, Dad? Anastasia is fine!” Erica didn’t want Francis to see

Anastasia when she was so weak in order to prevent her father from over-worrying.

Anastasia had fallen asleep, and in front of her bed, Elliot kept accompanying her without leaving once.

Anastasia could finally have a good sleep tonight since Jared will be brought back to Nigel’s house.

The birthday banquet ended perfectly. Although there was a false emergency in the middle of it, it was

still fortunate that no one was harmed.

In a villa in the city center, Aliona had just returned from outside. She pushed open the door and turned

toward the middle-aged man who had been waiting for her on the sofa. “Father,” she respectfully

greeted.

This man was none other than Elliot’s uncle, Riley Presgrave. He looked at her with a serious gaze, and

he demanded to know. “I hope Elliot hasn’t discovered your identity!”

She shook her head in response. “He didn’t discover my identity, but I didn’t manage to get his attention

either.”

“What was the matter? Did you not take the opportunity to get close to him?” He stared at her sharply.

“Something happened tonight. There was another woman on Elliot’s mind. However, I have assumed the

identity as Lucas’ illegitimate daughter. He has no doubts about this. I will have the opportunity to

approach him in the future,” she calmly told him..

“Tell me everything that happened tonight.” His eyes were practically shining with ambition. He came

back this time to take back the Presgrave Group by all means possible. At the same time, he raised a

fostered daughter and sent her to Lucas, who was already under his control. Lucas was a close friend of

Elliot’s deceased father when he was alive, and Lucas had always been respectful to him. Aliona’s

mission from now on was to get close to Elliot, win his favor, and finally marry him. She would then be

Riley’s ultimate weapon in getting back the property that had been snatched away from him.
