Chapter 342 I Wish to Protect You Forever
Elliot narrowed his eyes and said coldly to the man who bowed at him, “Did you hear that? Get your child out of here.”
“Understood. I will withdraw my son from school immediately.” The man hurriedly bowed and added, “President Presgrave, Mrs. Presgrave, and Young Master. I’m so sorry. Please forgive my son’s bad behavior. I promise he will never appear in school again.”
“Darling, you are a shareholder; what are you afraid of—” The woman on the side immediately reminded him of his status. She was highly embarrassed because she was arrogant toward Anastasia earlier and had lost all the respect now.
“Shut up! You don’t have any right to speak now,” the man scolded her. “Didn’t you also offend President Presgrave and the others? Come over and apologize now.”
The woman immediately looked at Anastasia with reluctance.
At the same time, Anastasia stared at the woman. Thinking of what the woman had said to her, Anastasia raised her eyebrow and said coldly, “Do it quick. My patience is limited.”
Now that she was being pressured by her husband, the woman immediately came over and bowed to Anastasia and apologized, saying, “I’m so sorry that I was being presumptuous earlier. Please forgive my ignorance and stupidity.”
They were a family of bullies, so it served them right to meet the Elliot Presgrave.
“I’m extremely sorry, President Presgrave. Please be a bigger person and forgive us!” After saying that, he quickly pulled his wife and son away and shouted, “Get out of here!”
Principal Miller still hadn’t come back to her senses after the family left. However, after scanning the tall man beside Anastasia, she finally understood everything.
Although Principal Miller didn’t know the man’s identity and background, she was sure that he was an extraordinary man based on his king-like demeanor.
“I’m really sorry, Miss Tillman and Mr. Presgrave. It was our mishandling that hurt your child,” she apologized.
Elliot looked at Anastasia. “Would you like to transfer Jared to another school? How about Eden that I recommended earlier?”
“Forget about it. Jared has finally gotten used to this school, and I don’t want to ruin his experience.” Anastasia gratefully looked at Elliot as they were protected from unfair treatment due to him being present.
The principal thought that she finally knew the truth about the blank column for Jared’s father in the form.
When Anastasia took her child back to the classroom, several children immediately surrounded him and showed their concerns. She was touched that her son was heroic and that he showed courageous traits.
“Mommy, you can go back now. I can take care of myself.” The little child waved his hand and happily returned to his own world.
After that, Anastasia and Elliot returned to the car, where she looked at him with gratitude. “Thank you so much for standing up for Jared and me.”
If Elliot was not present, Anastasia would have been bullied by that mean woman without even having the chance to retort.
He protected her rights and gave her son solid and powerful support.
Elliot suddenly leaned over toward her and held her hands. “I wish to protect you and Jared forever.”
His words tugged on her heartstring. For once, she didn’t know how to answer him. If he really meant it, then I should marry him.
“Alright, since we have some time left, buy me a present.” Elliot let go of her hands and drove away.
Anastasia almost forgot that she needed to return him a present. She nodded and replied, “Okay, you can choose a present for yourself. I’ll pay the bill.”
“You choose for me.” He wanted her to pick for him.
“Alright.” She didn’t want to argue much as he could still give her his input on the gift.
They arrived at a large shopping mall which housed world-class fashionable and high-end luxury brands. Although it was a luxurious mall, Anastasia had decided to spend on a belt for Elliot in this mall. The present must be worthy of the man’s identity after all.
The people who shopped here were rich housewives, ladies, and celebrities. So, it was common to encounter celebrities there.
