“How are my people doing at their job?”

“They’re very professional.”

“I’ll pick you up and take you to the hospital this afternoon!

“Okay.” Anastasia nodded.

Meanwhile, Alex was in his office, but he was in no mood to work at this very moment. He wanted to get rid of Anastasia so that he could have complete control over Tillman Constructions by manipulating Erica. However, he was fearful of Elliot’s power and influence. After all, Anastasia was Elliot’s sweetheart. If anything were to happen to her, he’d probably get to the bottom of it.

He thought of Erica, who had no brains and could easily be made a scapegoat.

Sitting in Francis’ former office, Alex was enjoying the feeling of superiority when the telephone before him rang. He picked up the receiver, saying, “Hello?”

‘President Hunter, President Zimmer from the Golden Meadows Property Group is here. He says he has something to discuss with you.”

Alex immediately instructed, “Show him to the conference room. I’ll be there right away.” He dared not snub President Zimmer, who was one of Francis’

longtime clients and whom he had to keep sweet.

After straightening his clothes, he called his assistant over and went to the conference roomy with the latter. As soon as he pushed the door and entered, he immediately greeted President Zimmer with great enthusiasm, saying, “Why take the trouble to come all the way here, President Zimmer? If there’s anything. just call me and I’ll come to you right away.”

“What a fine young man who has to be treated with respect, President Hunter! I’ve heard about President Tillman, and I wish him a speedy recovery,’ President Zimmer replied. Then, he continued with a grave look in his eyes, “President Hunter, I’m here to tell you something in person. I’m afraid my company isn’t going to be able to fill the order as specified in our contract”

Alex’s heart tensed at once. He couldn’t help but ask with a smile, “President Zimmer, we have a long-standing relationship. Is there anything that you’re worried about?”

President Zimmer shook his head. “No, it’s that I’m going to retire, so my son has taken over my job. He has his own ideas and wants to cancel our collaboration with your company, and I can’t do anything about it. That’s why I went out of my way to come here to apologize to you and tell you about it. I’m sorry, President Hunter, he said before getting up to leave.

Alex panicked involuntarily, ‘President Zimmer, we can still talk about this. If there’s anything about us that you’re dissatisfied with, we can-”

“My son has made up his mind on this, so there’s no way I can talk about it,” President Zimmer said before leaving.

Alex’s face darkened for a moment. He knew that the cancellation of their collaboration must have something to do with his appointment as president.

Soon after that, he received phone calls from several clients, who also proposed to renegotiate their existing collaborations.

Alex was panicked by the phone calls. Not only that, but many of his clients canceled their orders in just one day, causing most of the orders Francis had. secured for the company to be canceled.

Alex was totally incapable of conducting business. He had thought that he could get through the year by relying on these orders. But now, he only had very few projects left at hand just days after the company fell into his hands.

It was justifiable if there was only one person who canceled their order, but now, Alex had a feeling that someone was plotting against him. Who could it be? Who would have such great capability? That person clamped down on almost all of Tillman Constructions’ projects for this year.

Alex’s face changed color; he thought of someone fearsome. Elliot.

Could he be the one making trouble behind my back? If this is really his doing… Feeling tremendous pressure, Alex couldn’t help but rise from his seat before heading straight for the finance department’s office, where Anastasia had an office of her own and was reviewing the accounts that had been straightened out.

Francis had been doing a good job over the past few years, so the company’s performance had been very stable.

Just then, Alex came in somewhat anxiously. “Miss Tillman, I’d like to talk to you.”

Anastasia raised her eyebrows impassively. “Is there anything, President Hunter?”

“Could you ask President Presgrave to give us a break and stop targeting Tillman Constructions? This is your dad’s company, after all, Alex said in an almost pleading tone.

Anastasia frowned slightly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Your dad secured quite some projects last year, but now those clients intend to cancel their orders. I only have a handful of small orders now, but they can hardly sustain the company’s growth.”

Anastasia seemed unruffled on the surface, but she was surprised inwardly.

Did Elliot really take action against Alex? What is he up to? “This has nothing to do with Elliot. If the clients want to cancel their orders, you should look within yourself for the reasons instead of blaming him for it,” she argued. Then, she mocked coldly, ‘Mr. Hunter, I believe nothing will happen to my dad’s company as long as it’s in your hands. You’re such a capable person, after all.”

In that case, Miss Tillman, please ask President Presgrave if he has anything to do with this. If this is really his doing. please ask him to give the projects back to us,” Alex implored humbly.

However, it was clear that Anastasia wouldn’t help him. “The company’s projects are your own business. I’m only in charge of the company’s finances.”

Alex also realized that Anastasia didn’t care at all about Tillman Constructions’ fate. However, he cared about it. Francis would never regain consciousness for life, which would make the company his property. Therefore, he had to make sure that the company made profits. Now that he had married Erica, he was considered one of the company s major shareholders. Not only that, but Erica intended to transfer to him the 40 percent shares Naomi owned in the company, making him the company’s largest shareholder.

As soon as he left, Anastasia took out her phone and dialed Elliot’s number.

“Hello? A male voice answered the phone with a chuckle on the other end as if knowing that she would call him.

“Is it because of you that Tillman Constructions lost a few big projects?” Anastasia asked..

“Yes, it is.”

“Why would you do that?” Anastasia was puzzled.

“I want to acquire Tillman Constructions,”

Elliot said.

“How are you gonna acquire it, then?” Anastasia had no objection to his methods.

Elliot sounded like he was talking about something ordinary. Since Alex wants so much to have your dad’s company to himself, I’ll let him taste what it’s like to be burdened with huge debts. He’s got only himself to blame for asking for trouble.”

“Is there anything that I can do for you?”

“No, it’s not necessary. Let me do it by myself. Elliot had planned this for a long time. Alex was one of the people he hated the most because he had overreached himself by courting Anastasia. This alone was sufficient to land him on Elliot’s blacklist.

I’m checking the company’s accounts, and I found some issues. The accounts don’t tally; there’s a difference of several million. Anastasia took charge of Tillman

Constructions’ finances precisely to dig up dirt on Alex. Francis trusted him very much, but had he done something behind the former’s back? Perhaps she could find some issues.

“Alright. I’ll come pick you up. Elliot wanted to pick her up from work.

“Okay. I’d like to go to the hospital to visit my dad.”

Meanwhile, Alex was sitting in Francis former seat. He wasn’t that stupid. Instead, he smelled danger. He was suddenly becoming Tillman Constructions’ largest shareholder. If the company went bankrupt one day, he would have to take on huge debts. Not only would he fail to become rich, but he would also be heavily in debt-all thanks to the tricks played by Elliot, the multimillionaire capitalist.

The conjecture brought him out in a cold sweat. Just then, however, Erica called, saying, “Hey, A lex. I’m now on my way to your office to bring you my mom’s equity contract before we sign the share transfer agreement.”

Alex was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, there was the temptation of Tillman Constructions’ shares; on the other hand, however, there were Elliot’s overwhelming capabilities. “Damn it!” Looking extremely irritable, he pushed the documents off his desk. Elliot was standing in his way of getting rich, but he was powerless to fight back.
