“Have a copy of the agreement sent to me, and I want it to be legally enforceable,” Riley demanded, seizing this chance to take the portion of the company that was rightfully his.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was not afraid of death, even now. She hated her mother’s killer with a passion, and she wanted him to pay for Amelia’s death in blood. Not only that, she didn’t want Elliot to give up half the ownership of Presgrave Corporation to this devil just to save her.

As such, she stared at him unrelentingly and shook her head ever so slightly, indicating for him to refuse the bargain.

“I’ll let her go only after I’ve seen the agreement,” replied Riley. With his henchmen surrounding him and Anastasia, there was no way for any of the bodyguards to advance to save the hostage. Worse still was that Riley had a blade pressed against Anastasia’s neck, and any movement on her part could mean her certain death by his hand.

“Do it, Rey!” ordered Elliot.

“President Presgrave…” Rey couldn’t help but mutter. Fifty percent of Presgrave Corporation’s shares were an enormous amount of assets, after all.

After transferring that exact amount, he was certain how much trouble his president would be in.

Suddenly, Elliot turned around with red eyes while enunciating, “I told you to do it!”

Rey could tell from his gaze that fifty percent of Presgrave Corporation’s shares was nothing compared to Anastasia’s life.

Since he had to obey Elliot’s orders, Rey quickly returned to the car, grabbed the laptop, and started running the procedures.

When Anatasia looked at Elliot, she saw the nervousness and worry in his eyes. He didn’t even care about handing over half of Presgrave Corporation’s shares to the person he resented most.

Riley had caused his parents’ death, but in order to save her, he willingly agreed to Riley’s unreasonable request.

As she shut her eyes, Anastasia recalled a self-defense move that she had learned before. Though she hadn’t practiced them before, she thought it was worth a try.

After all, she couldn’t let Elliot transfer the shares just like that!

Meanwhile, Riley took a glance at the woman he was threatening, and he took in her pale face as she shut her eyes. He let down his guard when he saw how weak and feeble she was.

Then, he shifted his gaze to Rey’s laptop. Riley wanted to see the legal document of the transfer of shares immediately since he never expected Anastasia to be worth that much.

In fact, he had underestimated the weight of Anastasia in Elliot’s heart.

At this moment, Rey tapped the keyboard and raised his head, announcing, “It’s done.”

Upon hearing that, Riley got excited. Meanwhile, Anastasia took a deep breath and clutched Riley’s hand harshly before hitting his arm with her elbow the moment she sensed the knife on her neck loosening up. Once the knife was shoved about thirty degrees away from her neck, she quickly twisted her head and ducked to escape from his hold. However, the moment she ducked, she felt a sharp cut in her ear.

She didn’t know when Elliot had noticed her struggling, but the man felt his heart stop for a few seconds when he saw what she had just done. At lightning speed, he stretched out his arm and engulfed her in his chest.

At the same time, he growled in a low voice, “Are you insane?!”

Due to the pain, Anastasia held her ear with her hand. She was lucky that her ear had only suffered a light cut, and it wasn’t too serious.

All of a sudden, the people around them seemed to move at the same time. Elliot’s bodyguards and Riley’s subordinates broke into a chaotic fight.

“Give me the shares! Give me the contract!” Like a madman, Riley rushed toward Rey. All he cared about was the transfer of shares contract, and he intended to snatch Rey’s laptop.

Much to his dismay, Rey was a good fighter. He kicked Riley away and clutched the laptop with both arms. Upon seeing that, Riley screamed like a lunatic, “Give me the laptop! G-Give it to me!”

Meanwhile, Elliot let his bodyguards handle the fight as he brought Anastasia out of the scene. He grabbed a first aid kit from the car and used the medical gauze to stop her ear from bleeding.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but utter while trembling, “You are not allowed to do that ever again.”

It wasn’t a warning; it was an order.

He nearly suffered from a heart attack when he saw what happened earlier.

However, Anastasia seemed to look fragile yet strong as she sat in the backseat of the car.

She looked physically weak, but her gaze and her mentality showed that she was determined and strong.

Anastasia was afraid too, but at that time, a sudden thought entered her mind. She wasn’t going to owe him anything anymore.

If she let him transfer fifty percent of Presgrave Corporation’s shares, she would never be able to repay such a huge debt in this life.

“Your uncle is the one who kidnapped you, and my mother was also killed in his hands, so you cannot let him escape.” Anastasia looked at Elliot and grabbed his arms. Tears were rolling in her eyes as she begged, “Send him to the police station and make him pay for what he has done.”

In fact, Elliot had a hunch that it was Riley who kidnapped him back then, but since he was young at that time, he couldn’t find the real culprit even after years of investigation.

“Alright, I will send him to the police and reopen the case regarding your mother’s death.” Elliot nodded. He thought that she would be scared and cry in his arms after he helped her bandage her injured ear.

Contrary to Elliot’s expectations, even though Anastasia looked pale, she only held on to his arm for support. At that moment, Elliot desperately wanted to hold her in his embrace.

However, she retreated instinctively, so he retracted his arm mid-air.

“I’ll send you home first and let my men handle the rest here,” said Elliot in a deep voice.

“Let Rey send me home! You should stay back and catch Riley instead.” After saying that, she closed the door. Through the car window, she seemed cold and distant.

When he saw that, Elliot could feel his heart throb in pain. Why did he feel like she was miles away from him though they hadn’t seen each other for merely a day?

What did Riley tell her?

After that, Elliot instructed Rey to send Anastasia back home while he stayed back to settle everything here.

Never did Riley expect a simple kidnap case to cause him so much trouble. All of his subordinates had collapsed, and he was being pressed to the ground like a losing warrior surrendering in front of his nephew.

Elliot resembled a young king on the throne, looking down at the man below him in contempt.

“Let go of me, Elliot! I’m your uncle! I’m your senior!” Riley huffed, intending to use his relationship with Elliot to escape.

“What did you tell Anastasia? Are you the culprit who killed her mother and kidnapped me back then?” shouted Elliot.

In response, Riley snickered while saying, “Find the evidence and sue me if you’re capable of it! I won’t admit a thing.”

Elliot’s eyes darkened at that. “In that case, be prepared to rot in prison!”

From the looks of it, Riley could be sentenced to a few years of jail for the kidnapping of Anastasia.

However, Riley did not panic as he was being detained in the car. Even if he went to prison, he didn’t have to be scared since he had one more trump card.
