Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 341-350

Chapter 341

The child angrily complained to his father about Jared’s evil deeds. “Dad, it is that b*stard who hit me. It hurts! Help me deal with him.”

When the father heard that the boy who hurt his son was nearby, he stared at the direction that his son was pointing. However, before he could even look at Jared, the man was stunned by the lanky adult standing next to Jared.

The man was someone who mingled in the business circle of Averna. He remembered every face of the big shots in Averna like how he memorized Bible verses. The reason why he had reached this far in his career was that he perfectly avoided every single person whom he couldn’t afford to offend.

However, the father was confused at the moment. Who would have thought that one would meet Elliot Presgrave—the current president of Dominion Corporation—in his son’s school?

Elliot’s glances were as sharp as knives. The cold air lingered around him as his kingly presence was about to burst, which frightened the child’s father to the point where the man almost soiled his pants.

The man flattered when he reached out to shake hands with Elliot, “P-President Presgrave, it’s you! It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

However, Elliot’s expression darkened and the father immediately withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

“Darling, his son bullied your son! What are you doing?!” the woman growled.

However, she did not expect her husband to turn around and shout angrily, “Shut up! You must apologize to them now. How could President Presgrave’s son be a bully?”

“Darling…” She trembled with fright as if her husband would eat her. But our son got bullied!

“Bring the child here and let him apologize to them. I’ll slap you if you dare to question me!” the plump man yelled without giving any respect to his wife.

Seeing that, Elliot sneered. Like a king looking down on the world, he managed to make another man kneel under his presence without saying a word.

When Principal Miller and Anastasia both turned their heads, the principal was stunned by how the situation had unfolded. On the other hand, Anastasia was aware that her son was able to gain respect because of Elliot’s identity.

In terms of wealth, Elliot undoubtedly won against the father and stood at the pinnacle when it came to social status.

After a while, Principal Miller finally looked at Anastasia and asked, “Miss Tillman, who exactly is your husband?”

“Not now, Principal Miller. We will talk about this later. Let’s discuss who’s in the wrong first,” Anastasia answered before she walked toward Elliot.

After being yelled at by her husband, the woman lost her arrogance as she immediately walked to his side with her head hung low.

He was about to kneel and beg Elliot. “President Presgrave, I’m so sorry. My child didn’t know any better and hit your son. Please forgive him. Tell us about your request; we will do anything for you to forgive us!”

The man saw a bleak future from Elliot’s eyes because he could never stay in Averna anymore if he messed up here. Moreover, it took only a word from Elliot for the man to lose his footing in the business world forever.

On the other hand, Jared blinked and looked at the handsome person beside him. Wow, he’s so cool!

“Dad, but the b*stard—” The plump child was still trying to make his dad avenge him, but the father punched him instead.

Then, the child cried in pain, “Ouch!”

“Who are you calling a b*stard? He is the Young Master Tillman of the Presgraves, you little mutt! If you dare to say that again, I’ll slap you!”

The woman immediately embraced her son and glared at her husband angrily. “Why are you hitting our son?”

Looking at the ridiculous family, Anastasia calmly spoke, “You know who the real bully is. We will now discuss the compensation.”

The confidence in the woman completely disappeared as she murmured, “What do you want?”

“An apology and compensation for my son’s medical expenses.” Anastasia did not try to take advantage of the situation since she just needed justice to be served.

“I want that boy to disappear, though!” Jared suddenly shouted. “He has been bullying my friends and me.”

Chapter 342

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.

Chapter 343

Anastasia walked into a shop selling menswear brands and asked the sales assistant to lead her to the belt section, which the assistant enthusiastically did. When the assistant saw the man behind Anastasia, she recognized him as a man with great success and wealth.

When Anastasia carefully chose a belt, she saw a belt with a navy blue buckle and thought that it suited Elliot. She took the belt and showed it to him. “How about this one? Do you like it?”

Elliot glanced at it, then nodded. “I like the color.”

“Then, I’ll get you this one.” She decided on the present, and she glanced at the price tag. It cost at least 10,000, but she could still handle the expenses.

After paying for the present, Anastasia saw that it was still early. “Let’s get back to the company.”

“Now, it is time for me to get you a present.” He suddenly pulled Anastasia’s wrist and took her to the women’s clothing store.

She was dumbfounded and laughed. “Elliot, I don’t want it.”

However, Elliot didn’t care about her protest. As soon as he entered the store, he immediately started to choose. Anastasia watched him scan through the clothes on the hanger. Not long after, he picked three sets of clothes.

It consisted of workwear, casual coats, and skirts. It was the world’s top brand, so the quality and the style were high end.

She wanted to leave, but she knew that Elliot would pay for all of them if she let him be. When she thought about that, she felt sorry for his wallet. So, Anastasia stayed to persuade him, “President Presgrave. President Pregrave, it’s enough. You don’t have to choose anymore.”

The sales assistant behind Elliot was already holding a pile of clothes in her arms. However, he was still going to pick more. Seeing this, Anastasia could only go in front of him and spread her arms to stop him. “President Presgrave, it’s really enough!”

“The bill.” Elliot turned around to the sales assistant.

She hurriedly called her companions and quickly scanned the price tag while enthusiastically describing the clothes. Looking at the number of clothes, Anastasia felt dizzy. In a short time, Elliot had picked three sets of workwear, four coats, and three skirts. Of course, all of them were in her size, S size.

“Sir, you have spent a total of 567,000. What is your preferred payment method?” The sales assistant couldn’t stop smiling.

“What?” Did I hear it wrong? More than five hundred thousand? These clothes cost five hundred thousand!

In response, Elliot pulled out a black card and handed it over. “Card.”

The sales assistant excitedly took the black card with unlimited credit and waved it over the machine. After a ding, the payment was successful.

Anastasia couldn’t even stop her from doing that. In the end, Elliot bought her a bunch of clothes. Money made the world go round.

After the sales assistant packed the clothes, she handed seven bags of clothes to Anastasia. “Miss, this is your clothes. Thank you for your patronage. Please come again soon.”
