Chapter 649
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 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsame 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 a 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!”
