Fall for You After Divorce

Chapter 898

A flicker of confusion passed through Elliot’s eyes as he nodded, “Yes, what’s wrong?”

Anastasia hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly said, “Mr. Murphy, could you take me with you? I want to meet more people, it would make conducting business easier in the future.”

Elliot stared at her, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Being stared at by his serious gaze, Anastasia felt unconsciously nervous, her hands clenched into fists.

A full minute passed before Elliot finally said with a laugh, “Sure, but before we go, I have a question for you.”

“What’s the question?” Anastasia’s face was all smiles. As long as she could attend the banquet, she was willing to answer not just one, but ten questions.

“Did Ms. Cameron really plagiarize your design?”

Anastasia’s face stiffened, she quickly said, “I think it’s just a similarity, it can’t really be considered as plagiarism… But we still have to see what the company says, I believe the company will give a fair result.”

Elliot raised an eyebrow, “So you mean, if the company determines that Ms. Cameron didn’t plagiarize, it would be unfair?”

“I didn’t say that. Whatever the result the company gives, I will accept it.”

A glint of mockery flashed in Elliot’s eyes as he said, word by word, “Having ambition is normal, but if desire exceeds ambition, one will plunge oneself into an irretrievable situation.”

Anastasia bit her lower lip, “I don’t know what Mr. Murphy was talking about.”

“If you don’t know, let it be. Let’s go.”

Seeing that Elliot had no intention of pursuing further, Anastasia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Elliot didn’t have any particular fondness for Briana Cameron either, otherwise he wouldn’t have said these things to me.

The two at the banquet hall, and Elliot said indifferently, “Anastasia, I have other matters to attend to. You can’t afford to offend anyone at this banquet. Whether you can please a few powerful people, it’s up to you.”

“Alright, thank you Mr. Murphy.”

After Elliot left, Anastasia’s gaze wandered around the banquet hall, quickly spotting Maxim’s figure.

A hint of shyness flashed in her eyes, she lowered her head to adjust her skirt, held a glass of wine, and after putting the carefully prepared drug powder in it, she walked over.

From the moment she first saw Maxim, she fell in love with him at first sight. Before, she was too insecure to approach him, but now that she was on par with Briana Cameron, he should also see her in a new light.

Maxim had just finished talking with a client, glanced impatiently at his phone, and was about to leave when a woman’s voice sounded behind him.

“Mr. Yoder, hello, I was Anastasia, the designer of Graceful Attire.”

Maxim turned his head and immediately recognized her as the woman he had dined with alongside Briana Cameron last time.

His face was cold, “What’s up?”

If it weren’t for Briana Cameron, he wouldn’t have even bothered with her.

Noticing Maxim’s indifference, Anastasia’s face turned somewhat embarrassed, but she still managed to maintain a smile. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Nothing special… just wanted to come over and toast you with a drink…”

Maxim sneered, mercilessly saying, “What do you count for, worthy of toasting me?”

He had seen countless women, and the one before him was just like those who were attracted to his power and wanted to rise to the top in one step.

“Mr. Yoder, I just thought of the time you drove me home… I came specifically to thank you… Nothing more…”

Maxim’s expression was icy, “Did I say you had ulterior motives? Are you harboring filthy thoughts in your heart, is that why you misunderstood my meaning?”

Anastasia’s face was pale, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at Maxim with an incredibly wronged expression, somewhat pitiful.

Maxim, too lazy to look again, was about to turn around and leave when Rayan hurried over.

“Mr. Yoder, take a look at this!”
