Chapter 188
Alex was well aware of the fact that Anastasia most likely would be francis’ successor in the future,
Truth was, Alex had his own thoughts as well. After all, everyone in the world would dream of having an
casier life,
Meanwhile, Anastasia was borcd, so she took out her phone to check her messages, while Alex went
to get her some snacks. He had made up his mind to stick with Anastasia no matter where she was
that night.
She was curious about what her son was doing at that moment, so she sent Elliot a text. ‘What’s Jared
doing?’
After she sent the message, she didn’t receive any reply even after waiting for more than ten minutes,
so she thought that the man must have missed her message.
Just then, a mother-daughter duo hurried into the hotel lobby-it was none other than Naomi and Erica,
who had just arrived due to the terrible traffic. Erica wore a burgundy evening gown that night. As she
entered the hall while lifting her skirt, she suddenly thought of something and turned to her mother,

Upon hearing that, Naomi agreed resignedly. “You go sit on that couch for a while. I’ll go get you your
phone now. Don’t play with your phone all the time in the car in future.”
And so, Erica lifted her skirt and took a seat on the couch while waiting for her mother. At that moment,
a black vehicle stopped at the main entrance of the hotel. Under the light from the hallway, a man
pushed open the car door of the back seat and alighted from the car. Standing at six feet two, he had
an imposing bearing. After tidying his suit, he strode into the hotel with his long slender legs.
He had Rey following by his side carrying his briefcase. However, Rey, who was also a handsome,
white-collared elite, seemed inconspicuous as he stood next to Elliot.
When Erica was staring at the door waiting for her mother to get her phone, she suddenly spotted the
man and her heart started pounding wildly. Oh, God! How can there be such a dashing, elegant man in
this world?
The man who entered the premises under the bright lights had a cold and noble bearing. Dressed in a
fitted suit, he emanated a stern yet intimidating aura that made it obvious he was someone with a high
and mighty position.
Erica’s heart nearly jumped out of her chest. He’s so handsome and sexy!
Elliot’s gaze swept across the signboard and he saw that the banquet of Tillman Construction was held
on the third floor. He then entered the elevator together with Rey and pressed on the button to the third
floor.
Upon seeing that the lift stopped at the third floor, Erica couldn’t help but hold her chest excitedly.
Could it be that the man is here to attend Dad’s company event? Does this mean that I’U have the
chance to get to know him?
Erica was exhilarated and she felt as if she had met the love of her life. She wanted to know him very
badly, and she had even thought about the names for their future kids.
When Naomi saw Erica staring at the elevator in a daze, she called out to her, “Erica, what are you
staring at?”
“Mom, I just saw a super handsome man! He seems to be heading to Dad’s company event. I want to
get to know him. I have to know him!”

Upon seeing how crazy her daughter was for that man, Naomi thought to herself, A handsome face will
be useless if he’s poor. I won’t agree for my daughter to marry a poor man or even a man with an
ordinary background. My daughter has to marry the wealthiest man.
Meanwhile, Elliot stepped out of the elevator and into the hall. At one glance, he spotted Anastasia, as
well as the existence of a man beside her. That man was chatting with her, while she had one hand on
her chin and a curve at the corner of her lips. She looked as though she was having a great time.
Elliot narrowed his eyes menacingly. As expected, this woman attracts the gaze of men no matter
where she goes.
Upon seeing Francis among the crowd, Elliot walked up to him. Francis was chatting with his friends
when he suddenly heard a pleasant male voice beside him. “Hello, Mr. Tillman.”
Francis turned to look at him and was stunned for a few seconds. “And you are?”
Rey immediately handed him Elliot’s business card. “This is President Presgrave’s business card.
Please have a look.”
Francis took the name card before he glanced at it and his pupils dilated at that instant. He then stared
at the young man before him in disbelief. Is he the young master of the Presgrave Family, whom my
ex-wife sacrificed herself to rescue back then?
