Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

A few moments later, two black SUVS pulled up to the entrance. They were there as escorts for a limousine. The journalists waiting in their vehicles immediately swarmed the newcomers. Just as they were about to block the back doors of the limousine, eight burly and tall bodyguards stepped out of the SUVS. pushed everyone away from the limousine, and cordoned off a path from the limousine door to the building entrance.

Dressed in a black coat with her hair flying in the cold breeze, Anastasia stepped out of the car with a lawyer following right behind. Her beautiful face was locked in a serene expression as she walked through the path sectioned off by her bodyguards.

The air around her echoed with a barrage of questions from the journalists.

“Miss Anastasia, did you really kidnap your comatose father to steal the right to inherit?”

“Miss Anastasia, do you have some ulterior motive for secretly transferring your father into a private hospital for treatment?”

“Anastasia Tillman, do you even know what love is? Aren’t you afraid of karma?”

Despite the near-interrogation she was being subjected to, Anastasia merely glanced at the surrounding journalists before striding into the building doors where the security guards kept the pack of journalists at bay.

Her proud figure stood out among her bodyguards, just like how a red rose would catch the eye of those who saw it.

As the photographers swiftly snapped photos of her, they all sighed at how extraordinarily beautiful she was.

When she entered the meeting room, Naomi and Erica were already waiting inside with two other shareholders. They had both been panicking since the moment they heard of Francis’ collapse. After all, he had been leading the company this entire time. Now that he was unconscious, who was going to lead Tillman Constructions?

Admiration flashed through Alex’s eyes when he glanced over at Anastasia. No matter when or where he would always be irresistibly attracted to her.

Anastasia pulled up a chair for herself and sat down. The middle-aged lawyer following her sat down at the table as well.

“This is a private meeting, Anastasia. Why is there an outsider here?” Naomi barked in irritation.

“As my lawyer, he has the right to be in the room,” Anastasia coldly replied.

“All right, ladies. We are all here now, so let us discuss the future of the company. The reason why we are here, after all,” solemnly said Jordan Tillman, one of the shareholders.

“Yeah! We are all family, so let us play nice,” said the other shareholder in a placating manner.

“We are all distressed about what happened to President Tillman, but the company cannot be left headless. After all, we have a few hundred employees waiting on our orders. Hence, we must decide on the next person who will take charge of the company,” said Alex.

“Yes, what happened to Francis is sad, but the company cannot go ignored.” Jordan then turned to Alex and said, “Mr. Hunter, you are President Tillman’s most trusted man and the second-in command. What do you think we should do next?”

“Well, I’m just an employee who doesn’t have any say in the company.” Alex then turned to Naomi. “Mrs. Tillman, what do you think?”

Naomi cleared her throat and replied, “I have asked my husband’s lawyer for an early reading of Francis’ will. Let us listen to it before we decide on the future leader of the company.”

When Anastasia saw just how calm and prepared Naomi was, it was obvious to her that her father’s will had been tampered with.

“I agree with my mother’s suggestion,” Erica said, raising her hand.

“Very well,” said Francis’ lawyer, Colin, as he stood up. “As per Francis Tillman’s wishes, I have been entrusted with his will. By request from Mrs. Tillman, I will now read out his will.”

He then pulled out a few pieces of paper from his document holder solemnly and ceremoniously and began reading aloud from it.

Anastasia silently listened as all of her father’s accounts, assets, and investments were to be inherited by Erica and Naomi. Then, Colin arrived at the section on the company shares.

“The company shares currently held by Francis Tillman will be split into three portions; the first lot containing 40% of his shares would be inherited by Naomi Lowell, the second lot containing 30% of his shares would be inherited by Anastasia Tillman, and the third lot containing 30% of his shares would be inherited by Erica Tillman.”

Under the table, Anastasia’s hands clenched into fists. So, this was Naomi’s aim.

With the tampered will. Naomi and Erica would own a total of 70% of Francis’ company shares. While the division of shares inherited may seem logical and fair to an outsider, she knew this could not be her father’s true will. After all, he had never even thought of splitting his company up.

Anastasia’s gaze swept across the lawyer. Alex, and the mother-daughter pair who was secretly pleased. The four of them. who had concealed their malice, had formed an alliance all for the sake of profit. “This is the will my father had. personally written?” Anastasia gave a chilling gaze at Colin..

Colin gave a firm nod. “Yes, this is the will President Tillman had replaced just a week ago.

“Can I have a look?” she asked.

“I will send you a copy afterward.”

Naomi sneered, ‘Anastasia Tillman, what are you trying to imply here? Are you questioning the contents of your father’s will?”

“That’s right! You’ve already gotten 30 percent of the shares, so why are you still not satisfied? Erica said with raised eyebrows.

“It’s clearly obvious who will take over the company now. That person is me, especially since I have the qualification to be the manager,” Naomi proclaimed confidently.

“Mom, I’m sure you’ll be able to take on Dad’s position to properly manage Tillman Constructions.” Erica flattered. her mother.

Without missing a beat, Alex added, “Mrs. Tillman, the company’s affairs will be left to you from now on.”

The other shareholders were slightly surprised at the fact that Naomi was to take over the company since they had thought that Francis had been guiding his eldest daughter to one day take over the company

“You’re too kind, Mr. Hunter. We still require your service in certain matters in the future,” Naomi said as a demonstration of her newfound authority in taking over the company.

Although she was left without an idea to make an argument here, Anastasia was more concerned with the matter of her father regaining consciousness as Naomi’s schemes would be stopped the moment her father woke up. “Alright, then I leave the company in your hands.” She stood up after she expressed no objections.

Naomi and Erica were both taken aback at such development since they had anticipated Anastasia to have made a fuss. about the contents of the will, and not to accept it so readily. “Miss Tillman, are you suggesting that the company affairs would be fully handled by Mrs. Tillman and Miss Erica?” Alex asked.

Anastasia nodded. “Yes. Please give me a copy of the will,” she said to Colin. “I want to bring it with me.”

Then, Colin handed the will to his assistant to make a copy of it. When the assistant was done and handed a copy of the will to Anastasia, she stood up, preparing to leave the conference room.

“Hold it, Anastasia Tillman. What are you trying to do by hiding my husband in Presgrave Hospital? As his wife, do I not even have the right to visit him?” Naomi questioned her from behind.

A glint of light flashed across her eyes before Anastasia turned toward Naomi and said, “Naturally, you have the right to visit my father. As long as you do not hinder his treatment in the hospital, I will not interfere.”

“Good. Then, I shall visit him later this afternoon,” Naomi declared.

“Alright, you’ll be able to do so after making an appointment,” Anastasia replied while wearing an agreeable expression.

Naomi and her daughter made eye contact with one another, as they were puzzled as to how Anastasia wasn’t as oppressive as usual and that everything was going smoothly according to her plan.
