Subsequently, Nigel got up and let out a breath, then wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes before he headed to the hospital.

In a villa, Lorelai’s father, Liam Presgrave, breathed a sigh of relief. “She’s finally gone. I’ve been waiting for this day for too long.”

“Dad, even if Old Madam Presgrave is gone, Anastasia is not easy to deal with.” Lorelai had personally experienced how powerful Anastasia was.

“What are you afraid of? She’s an inexperienced young woman. She doesn’t pose a threat to us.” Liam chided with a look of disapproval before he continued happily, “In the future, we’ll definitely be able to get our share in Presgrave Corporation. Maybe we can even get the chance to inherit the company with your help.”

“Dad, how is it possible? How could we own the company?”

“If you get pregnant with Elliot’s child, it’s possible.”

“I…” Lorelai’s eyes turned disappointed. “He only has Anastasia in his heart now.”

“Who said that there is only one way to get pregnant? I heard that Elliot has saved something in Presgrave Hospital from back then as a back up plan by Old Madam Presgrave.”

A blush flushed across Lorelai’s face. “Dad, do you mean I have to…”

“As long as you get pregnant with his seed in your stomach, he will have no choice but to acknowledge the child after it’s born.” Liam had already planned everything, but Harriet had to be dead for his plan to be implemented.

Lorelai’s breathing quickened slightly. Did she really have to treat Elliot in such a despicable way? However, when she thought of the way Anastasia had threatened her earlier, she still felt furious. In her opinion, if her father hadn’t stopped her, she would have returned home to chase after Elliot a long time ago. Then, he might’ve even fallen for her first as she had investigated that after Anastasia became pregnant with his child five years ago, there were no interactions between the two. It was Harriet who forced Elliot to marry her. At first, Elliot had rejected Anastasia. Therefore, she had always thought that she had just lost the opportunity, not that she was inferior to Anastasia.

“However, we’re not the only ones who are eyeing Presgrave Corporation. Nolan is the same. He wants to gain more assets for his children and grandchildren. Hmph! In that case, let’s have a showdown!”

Lorelai curled her lips into a smile. “They wouldn’t be able to do something like what you’d just told me.”

“Of course. They’re still related by blood, while we’re not related to the Presgrave Family at all.”

“Dad, I won’t let you down,” Lorelai promised.

She had also discovered now that without a strong backing to support her, she would only live an ordinary life, and it was only if she had someone like Elliot backing her could she shine.

In the hospital, Elliot was busy handling the affairs of Harriet personally, while Brenda assisted him. Anastasia was sent to the lounge to rest, and Sophia had prepared some light snacks while waiting for her.

“President Tillman, you haven’t eaten yet, right? Why don’t you have something to eat first?”

Sophia looked at Anastasia with a pained expression. Because of her grief, she looked like a different person from yesterday. Her eyes were red, her hair was slightly messy, and her skin was pale.

“I don’t feel like eating. Take it away.” Anastasia shook her head.

Sophia persuaded softly, “President Tillman, everyone is sad because of Old Madam Presgrave’s passing, but you still have to cheer up and take care of others. We can’t have you going down right now. You still have your children to take care of, and you have to help President Presgrave arrange the funeral. You need to eat.”

Anastasia’s emotions were very fragile at the moment, and she needed someone to get her out of her slump. Sophia’s words undoubtedly gave her strength. She glanced at her gratefully and said, “Thank you, Sophia, you’re right.”

She couldn’t let anything else happen to her and give everyone more trouble.

After Anastasia finished the bowl of porridge, Elliot came in to accompany her. Not long later, she fell asleep under his consolation, and Sophia entered again to cover her with a blanket and stay by her side.

“Are you her new assistant?” Elliot didn’t recognize Sophia. After all, there were too many people at the wedding.

Sophia hurriedly got up and replied, “Yes, President Presgrave, my name is Sophia Goodwin.”

“In that case, please take care of my wife and don’t let anyone disturb her,” Elliot instructed.

“Yes, sir,” Sophia answered softly.

After Elliot left, Sophia patiently stayed by Anastasia’s side while she slept. Meanwhile, her phone that had been put on silent mode rang, but she didn’t notice that the contact name was Arthur’s. Soon after, it rang again. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen missed calls were displayed on the screen.

Sophia looked at Anastasia’s haggard expression, feeling pained at the sight. Just then, a few nurses started talking at the door. She hurriedly got up and went out, whispering to them, “Mrs. Presgrave is resting. Please keep your voice down.”

The nurses immediately jolted in surprise and hurriedly shut their mouths and left.

In Arthur’s villa, an irritable figure was walking back and forth in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. What was this? The bird that he set free had flown away from him? Why couldn’t he contact Sophia? What was she trying to do? Did she think that he had set her free after what he said last time?

Unwilling to give up, he picked up his phone and continued to make another call, but he still received no answer.

“Sh*t!” He instantly burst into fury and grabbed the car keys from the table, planning to head out.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Martha walking over while chatting with a maid. He hurriedly concealed his irritation and stepped forward with a smile. “Grandma.”

“You’re going out?”

“No, I’m heading downstairs to get a cup of coffee,” Arthur replied as he helped her down the stairs.

“You should spend some time with Emily if you’re free. It’s boring for her to be alone, and you youngsters have more in common.”

“I will.”

“Don’t go out today and have a chat with me. Later, come with me to get my clothes made. I heard that there’s a good boutique here that specializes in making clothing for older women.”

“Grandma, I’ll ask them to come here and tailor your clothes for you.”

“No need for that. It’s a vintage boutique that tailors embroidered clothes, so you can’t cause such a huge fuss.” Martha only wanted to live an ordinary life.

“Sure, I’ll go with you.” How could he not?

In the afternoon, when Sophia finally thought of taking a look at her phone, she found that her phone had run out of power as she had carelessly forgotten to charge it last night. Hence, she could only take her phone to the nurse’s station to charge it, while she came back to the lounge and flipped through a book to pass time. However, she remained clueless to the fact that there were a few more missed calls on her phone, all of which were from an extremely angry man.
