Chapter 378
Further interrogations with Scott yielded nothing more. Rey gave him 200, for he didn’t deserve more than this.
Early the next day, Anastasia was still dazed with sleep when she heard her son talking to the . man. She immediately threw the blanket off of her and walked out to the hall. Elliot was fiddling with a Rubik’s cube together with Jared on the couch.
“Mommy, Mr. Presgrave has bought breakfast. Go and grab a bite!” The little guy said to her.
Anastasia noticed the breakfast on the table. “Alright, I’ll wash up before eating.”
Elliot had to leave after breakfast since he had something to do, and Rey arrived to pick him up. As they stood at the door, Elliot said in a low voice, “Call me if anything happens.”
“Mr. Osborne, take good care of him, and don’t send him to my house for no reason again.” Anastasia ignored Elliot as she spoke to Rey.
The man was speechless.
Can’t she be a little bit more considerate of my feelings?

“Miss Tillman, after spending the night at your place, President Presgrave seems to be in higher spirits now.”
“Anyway, just don’t bother me anymore.” With that, Anastasia closr ‘the door while she avoided looking at the man.
Elliot and Rey went back to the car before the latter proceeded to report on last night’s investigation. After hearing this, Elliot frowned. “Why is it so coincidental?”
“My thoughts exactly. Is the fire at the server room related to Miss Tillman’s incident from five years ago?”
“Do you have any other ways?”
“I have an idea. The woman deleted records of the call on Scott’s phone, but the telecommunications company might have records on their end. I’ll keep talking to Scott, and I’ll continue investigations after finding out the woman’s number.” Rey nodded.
Elliot approved of the idea. “Take me back to the Presgrave Residence.” ||
It was time he met his grandmother and asked her about the incident. If his grandmother had really threatened the mayor to save him, then the debt that the Presgraves owed the Tillmans couldn’t be compensated in terms of money or relationships.
At the Presgrave Residence, Harriet wore a dark red coat as she sat on an antique chair. The shrewd and wise look in her eyes was the same as it had been many years ago.
Elliot told Harriet about the incident where Riley had kidnapped Anastasia, and Harriet responded in stunned shock and anger. “How dare he do something like that?!”
“Grandma, he’s the one behind my kidnapping all those years ago.” Elliot was very sure that it was him.
“I suspected him as well, but I couldn’t find any evidence. The two criminals were killed right on the spot.” Harriet said in hatred. “Chasing him out of the family was too light a punishment.”
“Grandma, there’s something else. I apologize for being rude, but I want to ask you something. Back when I was kidnapped, did you personally phone the mayor?”
Harriet was stunned. “How do you know that?”
