Chapter 758
It was then that someone walked over and stated, “Lorelai Presgra
over and stated, Lorelai Presgrave, someone is here to see you. Get up.”
Hearing that, Lorelai was a bit shocked. Is Mom here? Did Dad manage to bail me out?
When she came to the visiting room with the handcuffs on, her gaze overflowed with panic and guilt upon seeing
who was waiting for her on the chair; Anastasia was the last person she had expected to see.
On the other hand, Anastasia‘s piercing gaze was filled with spite and rage.
Sitting down with a lowered head, the embarrassed Lorelai could feel the scorching gaze projected on her, which
made her cheeks turned hot as if they were just slapped.
“You really are shameless, Lorelai,” stated Anastasia coldly.
“I have no choice. I was forced to do that. Besides, I have liked Elliot since I was a child. It was me who first
appeared in his life, so why were you the one who he married? I cannot accept this.” Lorelai revealed her
suppressed emotions.

man now and you will not hurt him.”
Lorelai‘s face reddened as she wanted to rebuke her, but she soon realized that everything she had to say would go
against Anastasia no matter what.
“I wanted to give birth to his child, even if it meant that the child will be illegitimate.” Lorelai smiled bitterly.
Suppressing her emotions, Anastasia rejected her words outright. “You don‘t have even an ounce of right to do
that.”
Lorelai suddenly lashed out at Anastasia while retorting, “You think that Elliot would love you forever? One day, he
will meet another woman that makes him realize he had a change of heart. Stop being so conceited.”
Regardless of anyone, a woman would still be agitated upon hearing these words.
Yet, Anastasia only listened to this calmly while knowing that her words were spoken just to spite her. “I think you
should be thinking about your own future, Lorelai. About your father, he should be serving a sentence of no less
than ten years. If I have my lawyers work a bit harder and dig up some more dirt on him, even twenty years
is not impossible!”
“You... Don‘t cross the line, Anastasia.” Lorelai started to panic.
“As for your mother, since your father‘s company is on the brink of bankruptcy and has stopped all transactions on
the stock market, I think she would have to work for the rest of her life to repay the debt your father owes. Not only
her: even your brother will also share the same fate. Still, all of this is rooted from what you and father have done
to yourselves, so this is merely retribution.”
After hearing this, Lorelai flopped onto her chair with tears of regret as she begged, “Anastasia, please leave my
dad alone. I beg of you. I‘m sorry, I‘m so sorry. I can apologize to you until you‘re satisfied.”
Yet, Anastasia only looked at her coldly. “The only apology I want from you is for you to taste the same pain I went
through.”
Stating that, she then left elegantly while leaving Lorelai deeply steeped in hatred.
Immediately after exiting the premise, Anastasia‘s cold look was nowhere to be seen as she had a gentle
expression when picking up Elliot‘s call. “Okay. I‘m coming to the restaurant now.”
The restaurant had a warm atmosphere that was especially suitable for a couple to dine in. With a delicious lunch

Standing up, Elliot took her bag and pulled a seat out for her.
Anastasia, who joyously accepted her husband‘s gentlemanly gesture, felt very happy inside.
“Nobody gave you a hard time in the meeting this morning, did they?” he asked dotingly.
“Nope.” Anastasia smiled and shook her head.
“If they did, tell me. I will handle it.”
To that, she only smiled confidently. “Relax! As your wife, I will deal with trivia matters like this.”
Of course, he knew that she had a strong personality. As much as she looked gentle on the outside, she was
actually tough within.
“The company will be hosting a charity event this week under our names. You can invite your friends to the event
as well,” said Elliot.
