Chapter 199 

“So that means that you’ll be sleeping alone tonight?” A roguish look flashed across the man’s eyes.

Instantly, Anastasia was on high alert as she looked at him and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Nothing much. It’s just that I want to sleep on your bed.”

“Don’t push your luck. Go back to sleep at your own home. Otherwise, I’ll ban you from ever eating over here again.”

“Your dad looked very happy tonight, but the time left until his company is taken over is only three months away. If you want your dad to still look this happy in the future, just let me sleep here for the night,” Elliot uttered the cruel words while looking at the faraway lights.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was left in disbelief by his words and she froze for a second.

“The opposition this time is very strong. If I don’t interfere, no one has the ability to save your father’s company. Maybe your father can go around asking for favors and using his connections, but it won’t change the fate of his company being taken over in the end.”

Feeling as though all the energy had left her body, Anastasia was stuck in a dilemma. She did not want anything to happen to her father’s company, yet she also did not want to beg Elliot.
