Night of Destiny

Chapter 301 Prepared to Sacrifice It All However, this was the exception that Elliot couldn’t have no matter how much he wanted her...

After Anastasia came out of the office, she breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn’t want to accept too much kindness from the man since she feared that she would not be able to repay him enough if she were to give herself up as collateral.

In order not to get to that place, she had to refuse wherever she could.

As expected, the regular meeting held at 3:00PM that day was to introduce the airborne designer, Aliona Dora, to the rest of the company. Despite Felicia making a formal introduction to the other workers, other than the male employees, the female ones were obviously lacking in enthusiasm as they welcomed her into the team. It was to be expected as beautiful women were naturally the enemies of other women. Furthermore, why would they be happy about having one more competitor whose strength they didn’t know?

“Hi, everyone! My name is Aliona Dora. | graduated from a design institute in Flor, and | specialize in jewelry design. | look forward to working together.” She herself did not expect the education she received from young would turn out to be one of her advantages in approaching Elliot.

Alice was visibly more irritated now that there was another person who joined via personal connections when she wasn’t even done dealing with Anastasia.

Anastasia was also feeling the pressure. Bourgeois would soon be holding a grand jewelry show in the early spring of the new year and it was her chance to show her talents. She, too, wanted to have this opportunity to show what she was capable of.

“Alright, let’s talk about the jewelry show in early spring,” Felicia continued. “Since we have become one of the brands under QR, the jewelry show will be set up in the country. We must not miss this opportunity to show what we have in store during the show. The company will also provide utmost support to our designers to participate in the competition.”

She then added calmly, “This is a show worth millions of dollars. It depends solely on your potential to win the race and be the one on top. | wish all of you the best of luck. The deadline will be at the end of this month.”

After the meeting ended, Anastasia was in the middle of clearing the desk when Aliona came to greet her in a surprisingly friendly tone. “Hello, Miss Tillman. We met earlier in President Presgrave’s office.”

“It was my fault for interrupting.” Anastasia smiled lightly. Aliona pressed her lips together and replied with a smile as well, “No worries. We were done talking by then.”

Anastasia thought that she shouldn't be too cold to the daughter of Elliot’s father’s friend, so she politely said, “Since we are colleagues now, | look forward to working together with you.”

However, as soon as Anastasia left, Aliona’s eyes immediately darkened. She only came to the company with one purpose in mind: she was going to become Elliot’s woman and marry him. She was fully prepared to sacrifice anything and everything else to achieve the purpose. She was even willing to sacrifice herself to Elliot, give birth to his child, and use the child to legally obtain the right to the inheritance.

Riley had given her 2 years to get everything done. When the time came, Riley would get rid of Elliot and the entirety of the Presgrave Group would fall in the hands of Aliona and her child.

Aliona was a child Riley had adopted from an orphanage. He had spent a lot of money to raise her. Not only did she learn all the advanced etiquette, she also graduated from a prestigious school and she was fluent in 4 languages. At the same time, in order to hide from the Presgrave Family’s investigation, Riley had made her a member of the Dora Family, and had presented her as Lucas’ illegitimate daughter to Elliot.

Lucas was a close friend of Elliot’s father and unfortunately had a weakness that Riley had gotten hold of. He was the puppet Riley was using through Aliona to take over Presgrave Group.

Since she wanted to repay Riley for raising her, Aliona listened to his words as though they were absolute. Her mission in life was to help her adoptive father regain the Presgrave Group.

And Anastasia was, undoubtedly, the biggest obstacle in her completion of the task. She decided to first become good friends with Anastasia, and after she had gained her trust, Aliona would find an opportunity to let her disappear from Elliot's side.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Anastasia was sitting in the office since Felicia had asked her to solely focus on the upcoming jewelry show. The company was also putting great importance in the developing haute couture.

Not long after that, Grace pushed the door open from outside and she came in with a cup of coffee in her hand. “Here, Anastasia. This is for you,” she said to Anastasia.

A frown began to appear on Anastasia’s face as she looked at the coffee before she asked, “Who is this from?”

“Didn't you know? Miss Dora has gotten all of us coffee. The coffee beans are freshly ground!”
