Chapter 648
Meanwhile in one of the villas, the atmosphere was sullen. An elderly man was seen sitting in front of his daughter
and consoling her. “Don‘t get discouraged. Your opportunity will come.”
“Dad, back then if I had returned earlier, by now, you would be attending Elliot and my wedding instead of his and
Anastasia‘s.” Lorelai glared at her father with hatred in her eyes.
Hearing that, the old man‘s gaze darkened and asked, “Are you still blaming me for it? I‘ve already told you that Old
Madam Presgrave would never allow Elliot to marry someone from the Presgrave Family. She has her guard up
against us.”

She didn‘t have to conceal her true feelings in front of her father.
“I know that it has been hard for you to put a smile on your face while attending the wedding. If both of you are
really together, Old Madam Presgrave will think of a way to separate you. By then, we would have lost all of our
opportunities.”
“If I came back and stayed by his side, I would have been able to win his heart, she said in frustration while she held
back her tears.
“That‘s enough, don‘t reveal your emotions to anyone. I have always wanted to have a place within the Presgrave
Group‘s board of directors. However, whenever I bring it up. Old Madam Presgrave would reject my request.
Although our family has been doing well thus far, we are nothing compared to the Presgrave Family. They own the
most lucrative real estates around the world and if they commission a project to us, our net worth will be more than
doubled. But she just refused to allow our family to have a stake in their real estate. That‘s why we can only rely on
you, since your brother is still young.”
“Dad, say no more. I‘ll still proceed as planned.” Lorelai dried her tears and calmed herself down. “I will look for an
opportunity to stay by Elliot‘s side. When the timing is right, I will help you to complete the plan.”
“You‘ll have to befriend Anastasia to get her trust. That way, you will be able to stay by Elliot‘s side frequently. We
will wait until the day he has fallen for you to bring up our requests. I believe he won‘t turn us down.”
“I know what to do.” All these years when Lorelai was overseas, she learnt that sincerity was the best disguise, and
that she was good at making friends with her sincerity.
Soon after she came out from the house, she took a stroll in the garden. She recalled how her parents would doll

time before she went over, Lorelai would be dressed nicely.Her etiquette and upbringing were all cultivated by her
mother. She clearly remembered the time when she left grains of rice on the table while she was dining at the
Presgrave Residence, her mother gave her a beating after she got home because of that.
At that time, she didn‘t know that her parents had since planned for her to attract the young Elliot, so that he would
remember her as the cute and pretty Lorelai.
Her father had been planning for more than 20 years to join the Presgrave Group‘s board of directors. Lorelai could
not let him down.
