Room for You

Chapter 267

Chapter 267 Protection

Elliot was a good person, and he was also nice to Anastasia’s son. Still, he wasn’t Jared’s biological father, so even if he could love her son unconditionally now, no one knew if this would change in the future.

She dared not bet on it. She always saw online news of women who remarried, but their children were shunned by the husbands’ families. All in all, it would be best for single women with children to never get married.

At the Tillman Residence, Francis returned home after a busy day at work. As soon as he reached home, he summoned his wife. “Tell Erica to come down. I have something to say.”

Naomi went upstairs and called her daughter over. Then, the two sat on the couch and looked nervously at Francis’ stern expression.

“Hubby, what happened?”

“Lawrence might get revenge on me. So when you and Erica go out these days, be extra careful, or just don’t leave the house if possible,” Francis reminded them in a serious tone.

“Why would he get revenge on us?” Erica asked, puzzled.

“Why else? His company was bought by Presgrave Group, and he dared not take it up to Presgrave Group itself, so he could only vent his hatred on me. Just stay at home for the time being.”

“What about Anastasia? Have you informed her about it?” Naomi asked casually. She thought that if Lawrence really wanted his revenge, he should do it to Anastasia and her son. Lawrence better kidnap the child and maybe get the child involved in a fatal accident or something.

Francis didn’t understand the ulterior meaning of his wife’s words, of course. He even thought she was worried about their eldest daughter! A smile flashed across the depths of his eyes as he said, “Don’t worry about Anastasia and Jared. They are in a very safe place.”

Erica was a little jealous as she said, “Dad, where have you taken them to hide?”

“It’s not me who took them somewhere safe; Anastasia and Jared are living in Elliot Presgrave’s home right now. They have countless bodyguards, and their security system is top-notch. No matter how skilled Lawrence is, he won’t dare to mess with the Presgraves.” Francis even felt somewhat proud as he spoke.

Naomi and Erica exchanged glances. Erica was obviously green with envy. How did Anastasia get so lucky that she would have the chance to live in Elliot’s home?

She got so close to Elliot, so she could use every tactic she knew to seduce Elliot as much as she liked!

“How lucky she is! And that child too, getting to live in Elliot Presgrave’s home.” Naomi humphed in a weird way.

“Anastasia probably got her luck in exchange for her mother’s life.” Francis sighed. When he recalled his previous wife’s heroic actions, he felt something weighing on his heart as well.

Erica went back to her room, an unspeakable hatred inside her. She grabbed her phone and dialed Hayley’s number, intending to vent to the latter.

When Hayley received Erica’s call, she was already lying in her luxurious bed. She couldn’t go to sleep because of her troubles. She had money, a huge house, and a luxurious car now, but there was no one she could show off to. She could only put on airs in front of strangers, but she couldn’t show off to those people who used to look down on her and trampled her.

“Hello, Erica.”

“Hayley, are you free now? I want to chat.”

“Of course! About what?”

“That b*tch Anastasia.” Erica immediately swore in anger. “Do you know what a good life she’s having right now? Hayley, do you know the Presgrave Family? That super rich one.”

“Yes. They own that skyscraper in the city center called Presgrave Corporation.”

“Yes, yes, Presgrave Corporation. Their current president is someone named Elliot Presgrave. Has Anastasia told you before? Her mother died trying to save Elliot, and now Elliot is repaying the kindness. Anastasia and her illegitimate son are now living such a good life that it pisses me off.”

“Oh! How did the Presgraves repay her kindness?” Hayley asked curiously.

“Let’s talk about it in terms of something close to me. My dad’s company was almost bought by someone else, right? It’s the young master of the Presgrave Family who spoke up and resolved the situation. Now, the person who tried to buy my dad’s company is trying to get revenge on him, so my mom and I are told not to go out in the meantime. But do you know where Anastasia went with her son? They went to live in Elliot’s villa, and they’re under his protection now!”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
