Chapter 394 She Couldn’t Falsely Accuse the Innocent
After Anastasia finally found her first draft, she put it on her desk and said, “This is my first draft, but it
can’t be used as evidence to prove I didn’t plagiarize.”
The time and date the company assessed were based on when the piece was keyed into the system.
Clearly, Savill had the upper hand in this.
“I believe you.” Elliot looked at her with absolute trust.
Anastasia choked at that, and she smiled wryly. “Do you really have that much faith in me?”
“Who am I suppose to believe when I don’t even believe in my woman?” Elliot’s gaze was filled with
resolution.
He got her a little stump, and she evaded his gaze. Nonetheless, his words had given her a confidence
boost.
“Thanks. Now, I want to get to the bottom of this and see who leaked my sketch to Savill.” With that,
she looked down at her sketch.
This was one of her favorite sketches, but now, Savill claimed it as their own and even slandered her
for it. How exasperating it was!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Find that person, and I’ll teach them a lesson for you.” Elliot’s face turned grim. That person probably
had a death wish since they dared to touch his beloved woman.
Right as Anastasia looked up, he continued, “Also, Savill will have to pay a heavy price for slandering
you.”
Anastasia was rendered at a loss for words.
She had a feeling Savill would be facing their doom.
“Alright, tough guy. Let’s investigate first!” Anastasia decided to check the office’s surveillance footage
before they did anything further.
The security didn’t dare snub Anastasia’s request, sending the footage of said time to her laptop. With
that, Elliot and Felicia kept her company as they looked through it together.
Meanwhile, Alice couldn’t help but begin to panic in her office. She hadn’t expected Elliot to actually
step in, and it got her seriously tensed.
Elliot was all-powerful, and he had very strong influences. What was more, he had a bunch of
formidable lawyers. Even if Anastasia was sued, his lawyers would be able to win the case.
Since it had come to this, Anastasia definitely wouldn’t put up with it. Right then, she sat in front of her
laptop while she looked through the footage. She swore that she would find the culprit.
Elliot’s heart ached as he sat next to her, watching her stare into the screen with her brows locked into
a deep furrow, non-blinking. “Do you have any enemies in the office? Alternatively, is there anyone who
wants to harm you?”
Two people immediately came to her mind—Alice and Aliona. These two were openly hostile toward
her. However, she couldn’t rule out the possibility of someone using her sketch to make money, or that
Savill had planted a spy in Bourgeois.
“Hold on. We’ll talk after I’m done watching the footage.” Anastasia watched the surveillance footage
frame by frame, fast-forwarding and rewinding from time to time.
“Why don’t you get back to work, Director Evans? I’ll keep her company.” Elliot pulled a chair over and
sat next to Anastasia. He decidedly ignored the important work in Presgrave Group, choosing to solve
the incident with her instead.
“You should go back to work too! I can handle this myself.” Anastasia didn’t want to take up his time
either.
“I’ll watch with you.” Elliot wasn’t going anywhere. After all, nothing was more important than clearing

Anastasia’s head spun from watching an hour of footage. Seeing that it was about time to pick Jared
up, she turned to Elliot. “I might have to stay and watch the footage tonight. Can you please ask Nigel
to pick Jared up and babysit him for the night?”
“Alright, I’ll call him.” With that, Elliot dialed Nigel’s number.
Nigel was their number one nanny, and more than that, he was among the only few Anastasia trusted.
After hanging up, Elliot stayed by Anastasia’s side with peace of mind, watching the surveillance
footage with her. Meanwhile, Anastasia had been recording the time and person who came in and out
of her office.
She didn’t relax for a moment since she didn’t want to falsely accuse the innocent, nor would she spare
the culprit.
As Savill wanted an answer by the following afternoon, she had to look through all the footage and find
the culprit by that night.
Now that Nigel was babysitting Jared, she could focus on work. Sometime later, Grace brought her a
little pick-me-up. After taking a few sips of the coffee, Anastasia went back to staring at her laptop
screen.
