Apparently, he had planned on taking the 10.00PM flight, but now he knew he had to reschedule it or miss his chance to escape for good. He called his daughter and insisted that she make the necessary arrangements.
When Lorelai got the call, she was anxious because she had not anticipated that they would find out about it so soon. Right now, all she wanted to do was escape the country as quickly as possible.
Her assistant purchased the earliest flight ticket and accompanied her onboard. When the police called the airport’s management department, Lorelai had already left the country.
The information was immediately transmitted to the police.
Roy informed Elliot, “We’re one step too late, Mr. Presgrave. We will contact Interpol immediately and request their aid, but we cannot promise that we will be able to stop her.”
“Please give me her flight information,” Elliot requested.
“Mr. Presgrave.” Roy was hesitating.
“You can proceed with the customary procedure,” responded Elliot. Lorelai needed to be deported back to the country so that she could face punishment. Even if the authorities were powerless to stop her, he had to take action.
How else could he calm down his wife? He would never jeopardize her or put her in danger in any manner.
Meanwhile, Anastasia, who was in the villa, was surprised by Lorelai’s actions. Still, it was within her expectation, considering how ambitious Liam was to get himself involved in the board of directors of Presgrave Group. It was his endeavor to pave the way to wealth for future generations. Thus, he had been scheming it after Old Madam Presgraves death. Needless to say, it was the easiest way to be rich, albeit malicious and spiteful.
Anastasia finally knew why Harriet kept reminding her to see through the ones who held the authority in the Presgrave Family. It seemed like the old madam herself had thwarted their evil multiple times.
These rats had been coveting the wealth raked in by the Presgrave Group, hence the burden and responsibilities weighing on Anastasia’s shoulders. She had to keep a tight rein on them, or the younger generations of the family would suffer too.
Time flew by, and there was Elliot’s car returning to the villa. To get to the bottom of the case, he did not get a night of good sleep these two days because Anastasia could not sleep well.
Despite his red-rimmed eyes, which became more visible under the illuminating lights, she could see the determination in those eyes. Seeing him in such a state pained her heart, and she instantly threw herself into his arms.
“Sweetheart, I’m going to leave the country later. I’ll be back, so stay with our son and wait for me.” Elliot’s plan was to ruin Lorelai’s scheme with his own hands to dispose of any possible threat.
Anastasia sighed in his embrace as she knew what he was going to do. “I never expected them to stoop to this level. How can they do this to us?”
“I won’t let them succeed,” he said sternly.
At that moment, his phone rang, and she let him go so he could take the call. “Hello.”
“Mr. Presgrave, we have tracked down the bottle that Liam took. The doctor who operated on Lorelai has also been detained, and we will begin interrogation as soon as possible.”
“Okay, thanks. Roy, I’ll be counting on you.”
“Leave it to us. We’ll look into everything and uncover the truth.”
Elliot put down the phone and pulled Anastasia over to sit on the sofa. He said, “The police have already found it. Now, I’m going to find Lorelai and watch her with my own eyes until the surgery is over.”
