Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
Alex didn’t forget to express his love for her. “It’s okay! I can bear all kinds of hardships for your sake. You’re my wife, after all.”
Upon hearing his words, Erica cheered up a little. Well, nothing wrong will happen as long as the secret of my parentage remains hidden. Otherwise, if
Anastasia learns about it, the whole Tillman Constructions will be back in her hands, she thought.
It was soon 3:00 PM, and Alex was up to his ears in work. However, Erica didn’t understand the company’s affairs, so she could only go out and hang around. Recalling that she hadn’t gotten in touch with Hayley for a long time, she called her immediately.
Hayley happened to be free as well, so they agreed to meet up.
In the cafe, Erica noticed Hayley’s healthy complexion and how the latter was dressed in designer clothes again. Not only that, but the latter was carrying a new purse. She asked with a smile, “Seems like you’ve been doing fine recently! Did you get yourself a sugar daddy or something?”
Hayley averted her eyes guiltily for a moment. “Nope, I didn’t. It’s just that someone’s been nice to me.”
Erica looked at her face, which had successfully undergone plastic surgery.
One had to say that the plastic surgery did produce nice results; Hayley had thrown money at it, after all. However, nobody knew the price she paid for this. She had now lost both her sense of smell and sense of taste, which made her life extremely difficult. However, life had to continue, so she had no choice but to wangle money from Alex for her medical treatment.
“You do look a little like Anastasia with your makeup on.’ Erica said.
Hayley’s eyes flickered with displeasure. “Who says that I have to look like her? I just want to be myself now.”
Erica was rendered speechless for a moment. She felt that Hayley was obviously imitating Anastasia in every aspect. Not only that, but she even purposely wore light makeup like the latter. However, she lied through her teeth about it.
“How is Anastasia now? And how is your dad? Hayley asked.
Erica couldn’t help but ask in surprise..
“How did you know what happened to my dad? When did I tell you about it?”
Hayley’s face paled slightly with fright. She hurriedly said, “You didn’t tell me about it? Then where did I hear that? Oh, right, I accidentally heard it from someone when I went to your place to visit you last time. I forgot about it.”
Erica didn’t think much about it either. She said with a sigh. “My dad’s comatose, and my mom… She was set up by Anastasia-that b*tch-and locked up.”
Hayley deliberately feigned shock. “What? What did Anastasia do to your mom?”
“She said it was my mom who made my dad comatose. That’s bullsh*t,” Erica said through clenched teeth.
Hayley sneered inwardly. Weren’t you guys in this together? How could your speak so self-righteously as though you have justice on your side? “Anastasia is indeed scheming and vicious. Neither of us is a match for her. You’ve got to watch out for her in the future,” she said, comforting Erica.
“That’s of course. I won’t let her have an easy time,” Erica said resentfully.
“Well, then, let’s go shopping. Hayley suggested before getting up to pay the bill.
She went to the counter as Erica waited for her in her seat. The card she was using right now was Alex’s, so she naturally handed it to the waitress, who then swiped the card. However, the card was declined.
“Sorry, miss, but this card of yours is declined, the waitress said to Hayley.
Hayley took the card and glanced at it. “How is that possible? I just used it this morning. Swipe it again.”
The waitress tried a few more times, but the payment was still declined.
Hayley had no choice but to take the card back and pay the bill in cash. As she walked toward Erica, she was inwardly puzzled. Did Alex cancel the card he had given me?
When Erica suggested that they go shopping, Hayley excused herself, saying that she had something to deal with. As a result, Erica had no choice but to drive her somewhere and drop her off.
After parting from Erica, she hurried to a bank to find out what was wrong with her card. She was sitting at the counter when the bank officer said to her in surprise, “Miss, this card of yours has been frozen, so it can’t be used.”
“What? It’s frozen? Who froze it?”
“Are you the owner of this card? If not, you should ask the owner what’s going on.”
“Under what circumstances will a debit card be frozen? Hayley asked curiously.
“There are many circumstances that can cause this. You should ask the card’s owner to find out what happened in particular.”
As Hayley left the bank with the card in her hand, she had a bad feeling in her gut. She took out her phone and dialed
Alex’s number.
“Hey, Hayley.”
“Alex, why is your card frozen? I couldn’t buy what I wanted.”
“What? Wait a minute. Alex was checking his phone’s messages; he hadn’t had time to check his cell phone because he was too busy with the meeting. And sure enough, his phone registered a notification from the bank saying that all the bank cards under his name had been frozen. “Hayley, I’ll call you back in a minute. The card isn’t usable for the time being.” Inwardly, he was anxious as well, for he knew whose doing it was. It’s Anastasia. After hanging up on Hayley, he anxiously stepped out of his office.
Anastasia didn’t come to the finance department today, so the only ones working here were her subordinates. Alex went to Gregory Lewinsky, the group leader in charge of the department’s affairs. “Mr. Lewinsky, why did you have my cards frozen? Who gave you the right to do so?” he questioned angrily.
“President Hunter, this is done on Miss Tillman’s orders. You can call her to ask her about it. Gregory replied immediately.
However, Alex dared not call Anastasia, mainly because he was the one in the wrong and that it’d be difficult to talk about his misappropriation of the company’s funds. “Mr. Lewinsky, how about you unfreeze my cards first? I’ll explain the matter to Miss Tillman later.” he said.
“Sorry, but we only obey Miss Tillman’s orders here, Gregory replied coldly while snubbing Alex
Alex had no choice but to leave the finance department. Standing before the
French window, he took out his cell phone and pondered for a moment. Still, he dialed Anastasia’s number.
