Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 70

What is this man doing? Is he trying to show off how fast his car can go by speeding all the way from 30 miles to 70 miles?! Man, this is giving me a heart attack!

Elliot curled his lips into a smile before he said, “I thought you were mute.”

Anastasia looked back at Elliot, feeling annoyed that the man sounded like he was cursing her. “You’re the mute here,” she retorted.

Nonetheless, Elliot wasn’t angry but he was instead amused with Anastasia’s response as he reacted with an even wider grin. As the car slowed down on the road, she decided not to entertain him anymore and kept quiet until they arrived at the Presgrave Residence.

Upon looking up, she was greeted by the sight of the magnificent-looking gate in front of the mansion. It was then that she finally realized how wealthy and powerful Elliot was when she linked it to what she heard from the media that no one could accurately estimate how much his fortune was worth. After all, what they had discovered about Elliot’s fortune was merely just a tip of the iceberg.

Soon, Anastasia quickly fixed her attire, hoping to present her best self in front of Harriet.

In the meantime, Elliot walked through the door with Anastasia following right behind him, as if they were entering a garden in a royal palace with all kinds of expensive landscape and rare plant species around the area. Meanwhile, Harriet was talking with Hayley when she heard about Elliot’s arrival from the maid. While Harriet told Hayley to excuse herself, Hayley seized the opportunity to ask the maid, “Did Elliot bring Miss Tillman along with him?”

“You know Anastasia, Hayley?” A stunned Harriet turned and brought up her puzzlement to Hayley.
