Chapter 172 Rey had gone for facial expression management classes before but right now, he couldn't contain himself and laughed out loud.

“President Presgrave, the truckload of Musang King durians that you ordered for Miss Tillman was distributed to the entire company. The problem is, Miss Tillman gave the credit to you.” Elliot's handsome expression stiffened slightly when he heard that. “Is that so?” “Yeah. Anyway, everyone's full of gratitude for you.” As soon as Rey finished saying that, he instantly covered his lips and burst into laughter before quickly stifling his laughter while he covered his mouth once again.

“It's fine to laugh.” Elliot shot Rey a look. | just didn’t expect her to be so generous and actually distribute everything.

Suddenly, Elliot recalled something and he instantly took his cell phone and dialed his grandmother's number.

“Hello, Elliot. Do you have something to talk to me about?” Harriet’s voice rang out.

“Grandma, | would like to have lunch with you today. We haven't seen each other for days.” “I'd prefer to have dinner together. | have a lunch date today.” “What sort of lunch date is it? Can | join you?” “It wouldn't be convenient.” Harriet spoke up frankly.

“It's just a meal.” “Well, I'll be frank with you. | have a lunch date with Nigel and Anastasia today. | wanted to talk to them about their engagement the other day. I've decided that it’s time to pick a date for them.” “Include me for the lunch date, then! | want to join the meal too,” Elliot responded with a smile.

“Okay. | don’t mind you joining us, but don’t you dare mess things up!” “Don’t worry. | won't do that.” Elliot curved his lips into a smile. I'm not going to mess things up because this won’t go to plan anyway.

in a blink of an eye, it was 11.20 AM and Anastasia glanced at her cell phone from time to time as she waited for Harriet to call her regarding the lunch date.

Just then, Anastasia’s cell phone rang and she quickly grabbed it to take a look. Indeed, it was Harriet on the line, so she took a deep breath before answering the phone. “Hello, Old Madam Presgrave.” ; “Anastasia, you can come downstairs now. My car is about to reach the entrance of your company.” It turned out that Harriet had come in person to fetch Anastasia.

At that moment, Anastasia felt quite flattered and she revealed a smile. “Okay, I'll be downstairs shortly.” Anastasia walked out of the entrance to see a black car parked by the entrance, and the dominantly displayed golden logo of the Rolls-Royce was unmistakable.

The driver personally got out to open the door for Anastasia as she expressed her gratitude. “Thank you.” “You're welcome, Miss Tillman,” the driver replied.

And so, Anastasia got into the back passenger seat and saw that Harriet was dressed elegantly in a dark purple dress lined with golden threads. The button of the dress was made out of ruby and it was clear to the eye that it was a hand-made, commissioned piece.

BS) “Hello, Old Madam Presgrave!” Anastasia greeted Harriet.

“It's been days since we last met. What happened to your finger?” Harriet instantly noticed Anastasia’s bandaged finger.

“It's fine. | accidentally hurt myself.” “Was it a bad cut?” “It's not too serious. It's just a minor cut.” Anastasia curled up her lips and smiled. Upon hearing that, Harriet nodded her head.

“Try to be more careful next time.” With that, the elderly woman glanced out of the car window at the building in front. “Do you work here?” “Yeah.” “That's great. Elliot has taken over your company, so it's part of our family business now. It would be much easier for us to help you out in the future.” Meanwhile, Anastasia felt quite uneasy. Elliot had not only taken over Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier for the sake of helping a lowly staff like her, but he had actually bought over the world-renowned QR International Group that backed the Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier brand.

“Old Madam Presgrave, I'm fine so there's no need to go all the way out to help me,” Anastasia expressed her sincere gratitude.

“You don't have to be shy, child. We are obliged to do that. I'm also trying to redeem myself by helping you. It makes me feel slightly better by doing so.” Harriet's eyes were red-rimmed as she spoke. “I am forever indebted to your mother and there’s nothing | can do to fully repay her in this lifetime.” Surprised, Anastasia asked, “Old Madam Presgrave, why would you say so?” “You might not realize this, but both Elliot's parents’ passed away at the same time back then and | had to single-handedly hold the fort for the entire Presgrave Group. At the same time, | had to bring up a young Elliot. At that point in life, | held all of my hopes upon Elliot, so if something bad had occurred to him, | would have lost the remaining pillar of strength in my life. Your mother’s ultimate sacrifice gave us the Presgrave Group that we have today.”
