Chapter 467

Aliona’s Goons

“Understood, President Presgrave,” Rey answered.

Announcing to the public that he had an illegitimate daughter after all these years of keeping a low
profile didn’t seem like something Lucas would do.

Elliot suddenly realized that everything he knew about Lucas was from the years when his father was
still alive, and would respectfully call Lucas his senior. Other than that, Elliot knew nothing about what
Lucas had been doing in the past ten years.

Anastasia had just taken a shower as she stood in front of the windows, which coincidentally granted
her a view of the sports car downstairs. The white car carried a feeling of romance as the lights of the
villa shone on it under the night sky,

At the same time at the Tillman Residence, Francis had fallen into a deep sleep after he had a little bit
to drink. On the other hand, Naomi, who sat beside him, would have loved to strangle the man to
death.

The chilling murderous intent in her eyes had long taken over her feelings for her husband.

…

The air was filled with excitement for Christmas the day after Christmas Eve. Many children had started
to come out to play and go shopping because this was a time when children could have fun and enjoy
themselves.

After Anastasia had breakfast, Jared told her that he wanted to go to the museum. She, too, knew that
she couldn’t bore him at home all day. It was necessary to bring him out to see and get a touch with the
real world.



Elliot could only apologetically say to them, “I am afraid I can’t keep you company today. I have
something important to attend to at the company.”

She only let out a light-hearted chuckle, “Don’t worry about it. You have spent a lot of your time with
Jared. I will take him out today.”

“I will have David and a few others go with you. They won’t get in your way.” He was still worried about
them going out by themselves.

“Alright!” She gave a nod of acceptance. “We’ll be careful.”

The mother and son set off at about 9.00AM with four bodyguards in tow, whereas Elliot and his
bodyguards drove toward the direction of the Presgrave Group.

The museum had a free entrance for a week. Anastasia held Jared by his hand as they walked in.
There were a lot of people, and most of the visitors were children. The museum had also organized
many fun events that children could take part in.

“Mommy, over there!” The boy swiftly pointed to the direction of the dinosaur museum.

Anastasia let out a smile and nodded as she followed after her son. The bodyguards behind them
made sure to blend in within the crowd, their eyes intently watching the mother and son.

However, they failed to notice that there was also a group of people following them around. They were
Aliona’s goons who Riley had trained overseas. With their ruthlessness and professionalism, they were
almost as skilled as trained assassins. They had finally found their chance to strike.

They had twice the manpower this time. There were more than a dozen of them, both female and male,
who were mingling around in the crowd. Their strategy this time was to besiege Anastasia and Jared.



Anastasia was still clueless to the danger lurking all around them. The place was crowded with children
and parents. She could easily lose her child if she had stopped paying attention for a second. And so,
she had her focus solely on Jared.

A middle-aged woman who looked like a normal parent suddenly appeared and bumped into David.
Just as David was about to walk past her, she suddenly stuck a needle into his waist before she
injected a substance into him.

“You—” David had already passed out before he managed to inform his colleagues through his
earpiece.

“Darling… Darling! What happened?!” The moment the woman acted like she was David’s wife, two
men rushed out and immediately brought him away from there.

Three bodyguards in a different location had also been attacked. It was hard for Elliot’s men to fight
back when Aliona’s goons were extremely well-versed in what they were doing.

A couple suddenly appeared in front of Anastasia, blocking her view of her son.

“Excuse me.” She hurriedly pushed them away and looked at where her son was.

All she could see now was the dinosaur egg showcase. Jared had disappeared from where he was at
just a moment ago.

“Jared? Jared!” she directly yelled into the crowd, looking for him.

She went around the whole place once, but she still couldn’t find her son. What she didn’t know was
that there was a man carrying a young boy who was covered in a coat somewhere not far away. The
boy was none other than Jared.



Anastasia went to a staff member who was on patrol and anxiously blurted, “Have you seen my son?
He has a blue down jacket on, and he is about this tall.”

“Miss, did you child go missing? Please calm down, there are a lot of children here today. We will find
him for you.”
