Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 176 “I’m blessed to have made acquaintance with all of you too.”

“Your mother sacrificed herself to save Elliot and you saved Nigel’s life while overseas, so I’ve already regarded you as my family after these two huge acts of kindness.”

Suddenly, Nigel was caught by surprise as he lifted his head and exclaimed, “Grandma, what did you just say? Anastasia’s mom saved Elliot’s life? What happened back then?”

Meanwhile, Harriet turned in his direction and replied, “You’ve been overseas all these years, so it’s quite normal for you to be unaware of this incident. Elliot was kidnapped when he was six years old, and Anastasia’s mother sacrificed her life to save him. We’re forever indebted to Anastasia and her family.”

Nigel’s eyes widened in surprise aş he couldn’t quite believe his ears. It was beyond his wildest dreams that Anastasia and Elliot also had such a great act of kindness linking the two of them. Is that why Elliot steadfastly stays by Anastasia’s side? Is he also intent on repaying Anastasia for everything that she had done, just like me?Elliot’s actions of taking control of the QR Jewelry Group and the current situation with him being permanently stationed at the office of Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier clearly is his way of repaying Anastasia for her great act!

Suddenly, Harriet mentioned, “I need to go to the washroom.”

“Old Madam Presgrave, I’ll go with you!” Anastasia quickly placed down her cutlery and got up to escort Harriet from her seat. Meanwhile, Harriet happily walked with Anastasia to the washroom.
