Chapter 450 Targeting Elliot
The current spokesperson of Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier was Cecilia Acre, who had several popular works. She had good endorsement ability and would be attending the event that night.
When Cecilia had just arrived at the studio to apply her makeup, her agent suddenly appeared and pulled her up to her feet. “Change your dress for tonight,” the agent suggested.
“Didn’t we already choose one? Why should we change it?” she asked in confusion.
“I just got the news that the big boss of the atelier, Young Master Elliot, will attend the event. Your evening gown is not grand enough, so I got you a high-end dress. Try it on right now.”
“Oh!” Instantly, Cecilia’s eyes lit up and she stomped her feet excitedly. “What? Will President Presgrave be present? Oh my god! It’s so sudden, didn’t President Presgrave say he won’t be coming?” she inquired.
“I don’t know why he suddenly changed his mind. In short, this is your chance, you can’t miss it.” Cecilia’s agent gave her a wink. In the entertainment industry, if she could form a connection with a big shot like Elliot, it would lead her to a bright and promising future ahead.
“Hurry up and take me to choose the evening gown. Quickly now!” Cecilia couldn’t wait to attend the event, and she wanted to present her most beautiful side to Elliot.
On the other hand, everyone in the atelier was slacking off now because they were all waiting for tonight’s event.
Meanwhile, Aliona was also looking forward to meeting Elliot. Since the attempt to drug Elliot had failed, she had not had the courage to show up by Elliot’s side. But after learning that he would attend the event, how could she possibly miss it?
Although she really wanted to perform her father’s task, she couldn’t do anything before she slept with Elliot and became pregnant with the heir of the Presgrave Family.
As a result, Aliona was looking for an opportunity to re-approach Elliot, and tonight’s annual celebration was the perfect chance for her.
At about 10 AM, Elliot brought Anastasia and Jared back to the Presgrave Residence for lunch. Harriet, who had been discharged from the hospital and returned home, regained her spirits. To avoid irritating his grandmother, Elliot asked Jodie to keep Hayley’s movements from the old madam.
Jodie even listed Hayley as a person who was forbidden to enter the house. Wherever Harriet went, Hayley would not be allowed to be there.
Harriet was ecstatic today since she had received a phone call from Elliot the night before. The Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier was holding its annual celebration that day. Elliot needed to accompany Anastasia to the event, so he would send Jared here for a day so that the old madam could look after Jared.
When Harriet thought of Jared, she thought of her own grandson, and she adored Jared with all her heart.
The main reason was that Jared looked almost identical to Elliot when he was a child. In short, he was adorable and charming.
Sitting in the hall, Jared looked left and right and he realized everyone was affectionately glancing at him, which made him feel less fearful and more secure now.
“Jared, come here to your great-grandma. I haven’t seen you for some time, and I missed you dearly,” Harriet said as she beckoned to him.
Encouraged by Anastasia, Jared walked cheerfully to Harriet’s side. Just then, she took out a prepared gift and handed it to him. “Do you like it?” she asked.
When Jared realized that it was a remote control airplane, he nodded happily and responded, “I like it!”
After checking the time, Elliot looked at Harriet and said, “Grandma, I’ll leave with Anastasia now, as we have to stop by at a boutique shop.”
“Alright. Just go.” She nodded as she said, “Leave Jared to me.”
Without a doubt, Anastasia felt safe keeping her son here. After she advised Jared on a few things, she left with Elliot.
For some reason, Anastasia felt strangely pleased while sitting in the passenger seat, as if she was covertly dating Elliot behind Jared’s back.
As soon as Elliot got in the car, Anastasia looked at her clothes and stated, “This is the attire I’m wearing to the event tonight. There is no need to change into an evening gown.”
Elliot glanced at her with confusion after hearing what she said. “Do you not know that the dress code for tonight is formal?”
She was taken by surprise and replied, “Really? But Felicia didn’t inform me!”
However, when she looked into Elliot’s eyes, it didn’t feel like he was lying. So, is everyone going to wear formal dress tonight?
