Chapter 272 A Common Enemy

Erica stammered and asked, “There is something I’ve been wanting to tell you. Fate has brought me

together with the Presgrave Family. I once saved someone from the Presgrave Family, and now they’re

repaying me by taking good care of me, which is why I’ve been invited to Old Madam Presgrave’s

birthday feast.”

“Tell me how you got to know the Presgrave Family. What have you done to make them appreciate you

so much?” Erica curiously asked, wondering how Hayley got so lucky to know the Presgrave Family.

“I’m afraid I can’t tell you why right now, but I know we both have something in common to do when we

get there—to turn the Presgrave Family against Anastasia. We’re going to make them hate her so

much that she’ll never live it down again,” Hayley said.

Erica echoed Hayley’s feelings and expressed her thoughts of resentment. “You’re absolutely right. We

must work together and undermine Anastasia’s relationship with Elliot because she must never marry

into the Presgrave Family.”

“I’ll figure out a plan, so just cooperate with me by then.” Hayley was usually the mastermind with

ideas.

In the meantime, Erica had always known Hayley was a shrewd lady, so she nodded her head in

agreement. “You can be sure I will because I want to humiliate Anastasia during the feast just as much

as you do.” Although Erica had no idea how Hayley got to know the Presgrave Family, she received a

present, which was a necklace worth 500 thousand, from Hayley before they left. Upon receiving the

necklace, Erica fell in love with her new gift and was instantly bought over by Hayley. Because of that,

she didn’t even bother to learn more about the relationship between Hayley and the Presgrave Family

as she was now thinking about how to warm up to Hayley. Guess what? I mustn’t look down upon

Hayley anymore.

On the other hand, Anastasia was sitting in her office while working on her draft design on a lazy

afternoon. With inspirations and ideas flowing through her mind, she added some modifications to

Elliot’s necklace to make it look thicker so that it would accentuate the wearer’s manliness. However,

as she continued to work on her draft design, she suddenly felt like drawing the man’s face out of a

whim.

Although Elliot seemed like the perfectly handsome man who looked flawless from all angles, she

wanted to draw the man when he toasted her the last time with his gentle eyes showing on his face.

Thus, she proceeded to spend her entire afternoon drawing Elliot. Needless to say, she would not say

a single word about the portrait to anyone because she intended to admire it herself and kill boredom.

In the meantime, Elliot had spent his entire afternoon in a conference meeting in his study while the

child was busy playing with his Lego in the game room. Upon taking a look at the time, he stood up and

walked out of the study, wondering what Anastasia was doing since his study was on the same floor as

Anastasia’s office. Therefore, he decided to find out and walked toward her office.

Meanwhile, Elliot’s portrait came to life on the piece of paper, thanks to Anastasia’s skillful drawing.

Then, she went on to amend his eyebrows a little, making them seem less hairy because the man had

thick and long eyebrows. Now, his eyes look perfect. After amending the eyebrows, the man in the

drawing looked so vivid as Anastasia admired her own masterpiece with a teacup in her hand,

wondering how biased fate was to let a man so handsome like him exist.

At that moment, Anastasia heard someone knocking on the door, so she quickly grabbed anything

around her to cover her draft before she looked at the door and said, “Come in.” When the door was

open, Elliot’s charming silhouette came into view, causing an anxious look to flash across Anastasia’s

face. Nonetheless, she stood up and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Is my necklace design ready?” Elliot asked, leaning closer to the lady’s desk.

Anastasia passed the draft she had just completed to the man. “Here you go. Take a look and see

whether you like it.”

Elliot took a closer look at the draft, admiring the beauty and elegance when the necklace chains

intertwined together. At the sight of the wonderful masterpiece, he nodded his head satisfactorily and

said, “Not bad. I like it.”
