“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.
