NovelOnlineChapter 366 Requesting for a Long Holiday Therefore, even if Old Madam Presgrave had threatened to crash the stock market in order to save her grandson, it was completely understandable.
Due to such immense pressure, the police force could only do their best to save the young Elliot. After all, it was their responsibility to do so.
If it weren't for the continuous pressure from their superiors, would Anastasia’s mother still be alive? Would Anastasia be able to spend her childhood with a mother without having to lose someone she loved dearly? It had been a long tsince Anastasia missed her mother so much, and her mother had been an imaginary figure as far as she could remember. She didn’t even have a single memory of her mother, for she had only been one year and eight months old back then.
Back then, Anastasia wasn’t aware of anything yet. There were only photos of her mother looking at her tenderly, and that triggered Anastasia’s emotions as tears started rolling down her face. She felt heartbroken.
She didn’t resent anyone, but she didn’t want to see anyone from the Presgrave Family either, including Elliot.
She thought the only thing she could do was to cut her ties with the Presgrave Family and never involve herself in their affairs anymore. Only then could she return justice to her mother.

However, she didn’t want to get up, let alone open the door.
“Anastasia... It's me. Can you open the door?” It was Elliot's voice.
The knocks on the door stopped for a while, but they quickly resumed. It seemed that Elliot was determined to see her, or else he wouldn't leave.
After wiping off her tears and composing herself, Anastasia washed up and walked toward the door.
Her gaze wasn't fixed on Elliot, who was standing outside. Instead, she uttered indifferently, “You should go. | don’t want to see you.” Hearing that, Elliot was flustered. He didn’t know what Riley had told her, but it was definitely something that hurt her deeply.
“Why don’t you want to see me?” Elliot inquired hoarsely.
Anastasia’s eyes instantly turned red as she looked up at him, saying, “I just don’t want to see you. Don’t cand find me, and don't try to contact us again. You and your family better stay away from mine.” “Anastasia...” Just as Elliot wanted to say something, what cin response was a shut door.
As he stood outside, Elliot was perplexed. Anastasia’s words were like needles piercing his heart, making him struggle to breathe.
He could sense the hint of resentment in her eyes. What on earth had Riley told her? Why did he make her hate the Presgrave Family? In reality, that wasn’t the case. Anastasia didn't hate the Presgrave Family; she just couldn't accept what the Presgraves did back then to save Elliot.
If the Presgraves hadn’t done that, would her mother still be alive today? While closing her eyes, Anastasia realized that Elliot would have been dead at the age of six if her mother were still alive today.
As that thought cinto mind, she felt a pain in her chest that suffocated her.
Anastasia was greedy, for she wanted Elliot and her mother to both be alive.
In a while, she was going to bring her son home, draw lines with the Presgrave Family, and live a happy life with her son without the involvement of the Presgraves.

“Mommy!” Jared hopped down from the car and ran toward Anastasia.
She carried her son and turned to Nigel, who was getting off the car just then. She said, “Thank you for taking care of Jared.” “It's my responsibility. Are you alright?” Nigel inquired with concern.
“I'm fine.” “Why is your eat hurt, Mommy?” Jared’s sharp eyes immediately noticed the injury on her ear and cried out loud.
“I just got @ minor scratch. Don’t worry,” Anastasia reassured her son with a smile.
However, Nigel knew what she had been through. His gaze was laced with concern as he looked at her. “No matter what, Elliot and | will do our best to help you.” “Thanks. You should go now!” After saying that, Anastasia held her son’s hand and went home.
On the way back to their house, they saw two people who looked rather familiar. “Mommy, aren’t they Mr. Presgrave’s bodyguards?” In response, Anastasia denied while saying, “No. They aren't.” Though Elliot had already left, his two subordinates were guarding downstairs while Anastasia brought Jared back home.
She wanted to apply for an extended holiday and not return to the office for the tbeing.
If they did not approve her request, she would simply resign.
