“Alright, I’ll wait for you patiently.” Hayley smiled with smugness in her eyes. Anastasia will never know that I’ll be spending her father’s money for the rest of my life, she thought to herself..
On the other hand, Erica left the hospital.
and went back to the Tillman Residence. What was once a cozy home for her was now devoid of warmth. All that was left was a servant who was still in employment, who took care of the housekeeping and cooked meals for her.
d you “Welcome back, Miss Erica. Would y like something to eat?” asked Mrs. Garner.
Erica sat on the sofa. She missed Naomi and wanted to get her out of police custody. Otherwise, with the evidence Anastasia was holding, Naomi would definitely be sentenced to jail. She could only be released if Anastasia relented and dropped the case against her. Anastasia is so uncompromising in her stand, and she hates Mom. There’s no way she’ll let Mom off, thought Erica.
The thought made her feel anxious and unsettled. Just then, the doorbell rang.
Mrs. Garner got up and went outside to answer the door. When she saw a strange man outside the gate, she asked curiously, “Who are you looking for?”
The man outside was in his early fifties, with a wrinkly face, a hunchback, and grayish-white hair. One could tell at a glance that he belonged to the underclass society. “Excuse me, but does Naomi Lowell live here?”
“Why are you asking for our madam?” Mrs. Garner asked with a hint of disdain in her voice as she somewhat looked down on the man.
“I’ve got something urgent to discuss with her.”
Mrs. Garner dared not let him in carelessly, though. “Madam isn’t at home. Only Miss Erica is.”
In the living room, Erica also wondered who was popping in on them. She waited for a long time, but Mrs. Garner didn’t let the visitor in, so she had no choice but to come out on her own. “Who is it, Mrs. Garner?”
“Miss Erica, it’s a stranger. We don’t know him,” Mrs. Garner replied before looking at the man outside through the gate.
The man outside also looked at Erica through the gate. Suddenly, his eyes lit up with excitement. ‘You’re Naomi’s daughter?”
Erica looked at him before waving her hand in disgust. ‘Go away! Don’t come begging at my door!
The man outside was stunned. Grasping the railing tightly with both hands, he asked, ‘Are you really Naomi’s daughter?”
“What does that have to do with you? Get lost, you damn beggar! Erica yelled crossly.
The man’s expression changed. “Can we talk, young lady? I’ve got something to ask you about.”
“I don’t have time to talk to you.’ Erica. said before tugging at Mrs. Garner. Just ignore him.” The man watched as Erica left. Then, he looked at the Tillinan Family’s mansion with a glint of greed in his eyes.
Erica returned to the sofa, her mood made even worse by the man outside. She said to Mrs. Garner, “If you see that guy again in the future, just ignore him and shoo him away.”
“But he knows madam, Miss Erica. Could he be a friend of hers?”
“How could my mom possibly have such a poor friend? One can tell at a glance that he’s a beggar who came to my house to beg for money,” Erica swore unmannerly.
Having developed an air of superiority at this house, Mrs. Garner nodded in agreement. “That’s right. How could madam possibly be friends with such a person?”
Erica then dialed Alex’s number, upon which he answered the phone on the other end. “Hey, Erica.”
“Where are you?”
“I’m meeting a client.”
“When are you coming home?”
“I’ll be back in a while.”
‘Come back, then. I’m bored of being alone.” Erica was yearning for Alex to come back to this home.
Unbeknownst to her, however, Alex was sitting in a cafe with Hayley in his arms at this very moment. Not only did she watch coquettishly as he answered the phone, but she even snuggled up to him somewhat purposely.
After hanging up the phone, Alex looked down at Hayley, ‘I have to go back to keep her company tonight.
Reluctant to part with him, Hayley held him in her arms. “I don’t want you to leave. I want you to sleep with me tonight.”
“Just be good and put up with it a little longer. Once I get the money from
Tillman Constructions, I’ll divorce her right away, Alex said, comforting her.
Only then did Hayley pout her lips.
“Okay.”
Anastasia didn’t go to her office today. Instead, she went to the Presgrave Residence in the afternoon to take Jared out to relax. They took a stroll in the park, with several bodyguards escorting them from behind to ensure their safety.
Jared seemed to know something, and a hint of grief sprang to his big eyes. “Mommy, when will Grandpa wake up?”
“Your grandpa is ill, so he needs some time to wake up. Let’s wait for him a little longer, okay?”
Jared blinked his eyes. Being a sensible child, he behaved himself very well at the Presgrave Residence. Elliot often took the boy with him to the Presgrave Group or to hang out at shopping malls.
“Jared, I’ll be busy these days.”
“It’s okay, Mommy. Just go ahead with your business. I’ll be good,” Jared replied sensibly. He was well taken care of at the Presgrave Residence, where Harriet treated him like her own great-grandson. He said mysteriously, “Mommy, I saw Mr. Presgrave’s photo album last time. Guess
“Do you look very much like him?”
“Yeah, that’s right! I’m the double of him. When I looked at the photos of him as a child, I felt like I was looking at myself
