Chapter 369 Not Good Enough for Him

Throughout his entire life, Elliot had never been treated this way.

A surge of complicated feelings crept up Anastasia’s heart as she suddenly declared, “Let’s not meet again, Elliot. Let’s forget everything that happened before! From now on, we will be strangers.”

The word ‘strangers’ hit him right in the heart.

“Why should we be strangers? I want to marry you and make you my wife. I’ll give you and Jared a complete family,” Elliot retorted through gritted teeth. His words were unquestionable.

“Do you want to know what Riley told me? I’ll tell you now. In order to save you back then, your grandmother called to threaten the mayor, saying that if they didn’t save her grandson, she would cause a nationwide stock market crash and create a financial disaster,” explained Anastasia, her eyes turning red at the same time.

She bit her lips and continued, “That was why the mayor requested the police force to save you no matter what, even if that meant taking the life of his officers. Just like that, I lost my mother.”

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she spoke. However, she didn’t wipe them off and glared at Elliot in resentment instead. “My mother wouldn’t have died if she did not go there to save you back then. Because of you, I lost her.”
