Chapter 488

Anastasia shook her head, turning down Tavon's offer to head back to Willowbrook and take over Morton Group.

"I want to carve out my own path," she said. "Anything that's not truly mine will eventually slip away, no matter how tightly I hold on."

It was like her relationship with Herman; they were from two different worlds, and their insistence on being together had led to such an unfortunate end.

While she was in the detention center, she thought if she had been born into a better family or had been stronger herself, Grannie Anita wouldn't have looked down on her, and things might have turned out differently. Compatibility in status does matter.

Seeing Anastasia's firm resolve, Tavon didn't push further. "You've just come back, so take some time to rest. If you ever decide to join Morton Group, the door's always open. I've always believed in your talent. Things are hectic at the company right now, so I need to head back to Willowbrook. If you need anything, just let your old man know."

Anastasia gave a small smile. "That's probably the nicest thing you've said in a long time. I know what you're aiming for, but it still warms my heart. Thanks. I'll reach out if I need to."

After everything she'd been through, Anastasia could see through Tavon's intentions clearly.

Herman's divorce was a reluctant act. As long as it wasn't Herman who abandoned her and he still thought about her, she had a safety net.

If she took charge of Morton Group, Herman would naturally support her from behind the scenes.
