Erica initially wanted to call out Hayley for being insatiable and not knowing her boundaries. However,
when Erica reflected on herself, she was also someone with blood on her hands. Instead, she said
nothing for a while because she deserved to end up here.
A financial summit was held in the city on Friday and it was an event which the people of the financial
industry took with seriousness.
After reading the email, a woman sitting in the spacious office had a complicated look in her eyes.
That woman was Lolerai Presgrave. Ever since her last meeting with Elliot, she had accepted his
recommendation to work in another financial company. All this while, she had been restraining herself
and waiting for the opportunity to show up. She did not dare to offend him and did not want to confront
Anastasia in the open.
Lolerai’s father had been eyeing a project under Elliot’s hands. Although her father wanted to get a hold
of it, the Presgrave Group had strict rules. They would rather cooperate with outsiders than the people
of the Presgrave Family as this had been an unwritten rule of the Presgrave Family. However, Lolerai’s
father wasn’t the only one who had their eyes on the wealth of the Presgrave Group.

Harriet’s death. Once she was out of the picture, Elliot would be on his own. Without her strict defense,
he might not be able to withstand the pressure of the entire family. Lolerai had been looking forward to
this moment as she was confident that he would show up.
At that time, Anastasia wouldn’t be by his side, and Lolerai might be able to seize this chance to strike.
She was confident in herself and did not believe there were men who wouldn’t cheat.
At Presgrave Group, Elliot had also received the invitation and accepted it.
There were several companies that he was interested in cooperating with that were attending the
summit this time.
Anastasia had accompanied him to the company today. Bourgeois was implementing a reformation
plan and had decided to buy a diamond mind and raw stones abroad. This was necessary as their
company had decided to create a luxurious and customizable platform.
Six high-level executives of the company were gathered in the conference room. Anastasia sat on the
main seat with her long hair on her shoulders while she listened to her subordinates’ reports with firm,
bright eyes and radiated the aura of a charismatic leader.
It required a different kind of courage for one to be a leader, which was something that Anastasia had
been exercising. As the Presgrave Family had many extended family members, she had to shoulder
the burden of being the lady boss of the family, and there would be more things that would require her
to decide in the future.
After the meeting, she called for Larry and carefully listened to his opinions. He was a senior executive
of Bourgeois and was more experienced in this area.
“President Tillman, if we want Bourgeois to grow and be stronger, it is vital for us to have our own mine.
Now, several big foreign brands have already begun to monopolize the stones. We will have to make a
decision soon.”
“What’s the recovery rate for extraction?”
“According to our current data, the recovery rate is within the acceptable range. However, this is
something like a gamble. We would need luck to be on our side.”
Hearing this, Anastasia nodded. “Okay, I’ll decide in three days’ time.” Not long after Larry left, there
was a knock on the door, to which she responded, “Come in.”

The person at the door was Katrina. She was at the company to sign a contract and came especially to
thank Anastasia.
“Anastasia, thank you for giving me this opportunity,” she commented while failing to contain her
excitement.
“You should read through the terms and conditions of our contract. I hope that you will abide by it. You
only get one chance. Please cherish it!” Anastasia said.
When Katrina heard this, she felt her heart tighten. The silent warning behind Anastasia’s words
pressured her as her personal life was never smooth.
“I know. I won’t let you down.” Then, Katrina added, “Please take care of my brother.”
“Definitely.” Anastasia nodded.
At this moment, Katrina’s gaze wandered to the necklace Anastasia was wearing. She could tell at first
glance that it was rare and valuable, and this caused envy to brew in her heart.
“Anastasia, the diamonds on your neck are beautiful. It must cost millions,” she said in jealousy.
Anastasia pursed her lips and smiled. “My husband gave it to me. I didn’t ask him about the price.”
At this moment, darkness flashed through Katrina’s eyes. It would be great if she managed to seduce
Elliot in the future. Now that she was endorsing Bourgeois, she had a higher chance of meeting him.
