Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 647

Chapter 647

“Nigel, come over here.”

He smiled as he asked, “What’s wrong, Mom?”

“There are many girls that attended the wedding today. Did any of them catch your attention? You can

tell me about it.” During the wedding, Brenda felt that his son who was already at a marriageable age of

26 should be looking to get married.

“Nope.” He shook his head.

“Since Elliot already got married, you should be more serious about looking for a girlfriend so that you

can get married soon.” Brenda rolled her eyes at him.

“Mom, back then if you gave me the green light, I’d have married Anastasia and you’d have had a

daughter-in-law.” He chuckled.

Upon hearing that, she rolled her eyes at him again and said, “Elliot was already courting Anastasia at

that time. There’s no point for you to get on the bandwagon. I wouldn’t want to see the

both of you fight over a girl.”

“Mom, you’re really observant!’ Nigel was impressed that his mother actually noticed that Elliot was

courting Anastasia at that time.

“That’s why you should start taking this. seriously and don’t spend too much time playing video games in

the mansion. Instead, spend more time getting to know some girls. Just then, two ladies waved at her

and Brenda told him, ‘Alright, I shall go greet the guests first.”

Nigel let out a long sigh. Now that Elliot was married, he felt stressed as he thought of how he would be

the next one to be urged to get married.

Meanwhile in one of the villas, the atmosphere was sullen. An elderly man was seen sitting in front of his

daughter and consoling her. ‘Don’t get discouraged. Your opportunity will come.””

“Dad, back then if I had returned earlier, by now, you would be attending Elliot and my wedding instead

of his and

Anastasia’s Lorelai glared at her father with hatred in her eyes.

Hearing that, the old man’s gaze darkened and asked, ‘Are you still blaming me for it? I’ve already told

you that Old Madam Presgrave would never allow Elliot to marry someone from the Presgrave Family.

She has her guard up against us.”

“What if Elliot fell in love with me and only wanted to marry me?” Lorelai held her forehead as she looked

agonized. She didn’t have to conceal her true feelings in front of her father.

“I know that it has been hard for you to put a smile on your face while attending the wedding. If both of

you are really together, Old Madam Presgrave will think of a way to separate you. By then, we would

have lost all of our opportunities.”

‘If I came back and stayed by his side, I would have been able to win his heart.” she said in frustration

while she held back. her tears.

“That’s enough, don’t reveal your emotions to anyone. I have always wanted to have a place within the

Presgrave Group’s board of directors. However, whenever i bring it up, Old Madam Presgrave would

reject my request. Although our family has been doing well thus far, we are nothing compared to the

Presgrave Family. They own the most lucrative real estates around the world and if they commission a

project to us, our net worth will be more than doubled. But she just refused to allow our family to have a

stake in their real estate. That’s why we can only rely on you, since your brother is still young.”

‘Dad, say no more. I’ll still proceed as planned. Lorelai dried her tears and calmed herself down. ‘I will

look for an opportunity to stay by Elliot’s side. When the timing is right, I will help you to complete the

plan.”

“You’ll have to befriend Anastasia to get her trust. That way, you will be able to stay by Elliot’s side

frequently. We will. wait until the day he has fallen for you to bring up our requests. I believe he won’t

turn us down.”

“I know what to do.” All these years when Lorelai was overseas, she learnt that sincerity was the best

disguise, and that she was good at making friends with her sincerity.

Soon after she came out from the house, she took a stroll in the garden. She recalled how her parents

would doll her up like a princess since young and they would send her over to the Presgrave Residence

for play dates. Every time. before she went over, Lorelai would be dressed nicely Her etiquette and

upbringing were all cultivated by her mother. She clearly remembered the time when she left grains of

rice on the table while she was dining at the Presgrave Residence, her mother gave her a beating after

she got home because of that.

At that time, she didn’t know that her parents had since planned for her to attract the young Elliot, so that

he would remember her as the cute and pretty Lorelai. Her father had been planning for more than 20

years to join the Presgrave Group’s board of directors. Lorelai could not let him down.
