Chapter 365

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.

His goddaughter, Aliona, would certainly give birth to her son. Sooner or later, the entire Presgrave
Group would fall under his hands.

While they were on the road, Anastasia tried to call Grace. Fortunately, the latter picked up the phone
and told Anastasia that she was found thrown into a ditch by the roadside and was sent to the hospital
for treatment. Thankfully, she was awake now.

“Thank goodness you’re alright, Anastasia.” Grace was so shocked that she nearly cried. She had also
called the police.

Anastasia was grateful for what she had done and told her that she would talk to her in detail once she
got back.

While sitting in the backseat, Anastasia’s mind was filled with Riley’s words. She felt conflicted. Was
she going to blame the Presgrave Family for her mother’s death back then?

Back then, Old Madam Presgrave had called the mayor and pressured the police. Because of th the
police ordered her mother to save a life at the scene. Was her mother forced to save Elliot, did she do it



willingly?

No matter what, her mother sacrificed her life in exchange for an opportunity for Elliot to live

However, as her daughter, Anastasia developed feelings for him, and that made her even more
distressed

Once Rey dropped her off at her house, he reminded, “Have a good rest, Miss Tillman.”

“Thank you, Rey.” After thanking him, Anastasia entered the house and shut the door.

Rey didn’t leave after that, for he had to protect Anastasia until Elliot came over.

At the police station, Riley was arrested for kidnapping, whereas Elliot’s bodyguard handed ove all
video evidence so that he couldn’t escape the punishment.

At the same time, Elliot also applied for a re-investigation of his kidnapping case back then with Riley
as the primary suspect. He also called for another investigation into Amelia’s case, the policewoman
who had died in the same year. Thankfully, the police attached great importance this matter.

After coming out of the police station, Elliot rushed to Anastasia’s housing area immediately. He called
Nigel, told him what happened today, and ordered him to protect Jared well.

On the other end of the line, Nigel was taken aback by the information. With that, he hurriedly sent
someone to the kindergarten to pick Jared up. He was going to let Jared stay by his side so that he
could take care of him for the next few days,

As she sat on the sofa, Anastasia could feel that the fear of being kidnapped had dissipated, but she
felt complicated emotions. She stood in Old Madam Presgrave’s shoes; if her only grandson had been
kidnapped back then, she would also be willing to do anything to save him no matter how crazy it was.
