“What are you trying to say?”
“I’ve passed all my shares to Anastasia. So, Tillman Constructions is hers now,” she announced proudly. “I still have my way out.”
“What?” Alex’s expression instantly changed after he heard her. He went up to Erica, stopped her from leaving, and asked, “Anastasia took over Tillman Constructions? When was that?”
“This morning.”
Instantly, he turned to his room and grabbed his phone, dialing a number.
All of a sudden, a furious Hayley held Erica’s arm. “Who sent you here?” She thought Erica would never find out about her relationship with Alex because she was hiding it really well.
Erica swung her hand and scoffed, “Anastasia told me about it. Don’t you think it’s really ironic?”
“What?” Hayley’s face took on a ghastly expression once again. It’s Anastasia again? Why is she always going against me?
Just then, Alex shouted from his room, “Why is my money gone?!”
Hearing that, Erica immediately realized something was up with Alex, so she spun on her heels and left the place. At the same time, Hayley noticed something as well.
Since Anastasia had taken over Tillman Constructions, the large sum of money that he embezzled would definitely be recovered, and he would need to bear the consequences.
Now, Hayley didn’t want anything anymore; she just wanted to cut ties with Alex completely. Disregarding everything, she was ready to leave too.
At this moment, all she heard was Alex cursing in rage, noises of him breaking things, and his bellows about his missing money.
This man was nothing to her anymore. With coldness in her eyes, she took her bag and left the place, as she was also tired of acting for such a long time with him.
As Erica was going downstairs, she met a few men who were going up, and she was a little surprised by that. When she came out to the parking lot, there were several patrol cars and a few men there watching over the place. Curious, she sat in her car and wanted to see who they were arresting.
After a while, she also saw Hayley coming out of the apartment in dejection and leaving from the opposite direction. She stared at Hayley, desperately wanting to hit her with the car when she realized how blind she was previously to be best friends with her all this while.
Come to think of it now! It’s so sickening that since I got married to Alex, I’ve been sharing the same men with her. She felt nauseous thinking about it.
On the other hand, Alex was still anxiously calling the bank to check why his money was missing. The banker, on the other side, told him frankly that his transaction had been found to be illegal and that the bank would halt the process of recovering the money from overseas.
Just as he was raving, he heard someone break into his apartment. Shocked, he rushed out of his room, and the plainclothes police, who broke into his apartment, jumped on him and immediately pressed him onto the floor.
“Alex Hunter, you’re under arrest for embezzlement. You’ll need to follow us back to the station for further investigation.”
At this moment, Alex’s mind froze for a moment, and something came through his mind all of a sudden. It’s a trap. It was a trap that Anastasia set for him to purposely let him embezzle that money after seeing his greediness and tricks.
He was in deep regret when he realized he had fallen into Anastasia’s trap and had jumped into the abyss with his own feet.
The thirty million, together with the three million that he had embezzled previously, could get him a sentence of more than 10 years in prison.
Within 15 minutes, Erica saw a few plainclothes police coming out of the apartment with a person arrested, and that person was Alex.
Shocked, she saw him having his head pressed and entering the patrol car. Instantly, her brain started to figure out what was going on. Why is Alex arrested? What did he do?
He’d told me about a thirty-million sum of money previously, and he divorced me a few days after that. Since he was in the finance department and he also had a record for embezzlement, did he embezzle that thirty million too? And he’s arrested now because Anastasia found out about it? At the side of a car not far away, Hayley looked at Alex getting arrested in the patrol car with a cold gaze. Her eyes were emotionless as he was just a cash machine to her.
As Hayley recalled how Alex reacted when he saw her older pictures, she was irked by his exaggerated expression. As expected, he only liked her because of her resemblance to Anastasia.
“Anastasia, why are you constantly on my tail?” Hayley grumbled.
After the policemen left, Erica became anxious. She suddenly had an urge to go to the spot where she pushed Wanda down. She wanted to verify whether Wanda was still near the reef. In order to peace her mind, she hurried over there.
Is Mrs. Garner dead?
On the contrary, Wanda survived. Although she was a vicious person, she was fortunate enough to survive the fall. After she was pushed into the sea by Erica, she was swept to the shore by the waves. When she was found, she had been submerged in the sea for a long period of time and was sent to the nearest hospital. Even though she had been resuscitated, she had fallen into a coma.
As Erica stood by the sea shore and glanced at the vast ocean, which seemed like the perfect burial ground. Mrs. Garner might have perished. She stayed there for a while before leaving.
Back then, when Tillman Constructions was in the news, it was about the company being on the brink of bankruptcy and how they were in arrears with their employees’ pay which made the headlines. The media somehow heard rumors about it and released the news in order to boost traffic and readership.
On that day, news about Tillman Constructions’ revival made the news. All of their employees were well compensated, and some of the biggest names in real estate had signed collaboration agreements with them. Instantly, Tillman Constructions was regarded as one of the most promising companies within its industry.
The incident regarding Naomi and her daughter’s online article that had caused a frenzy and put Anastasia in a bad light was overturned because of this.
Subsequently, the incident of Naomi being suspected of murdering her husband and robbing his inheritance was revealed. At the same time, Anastasia’s efforts to save her father were also reported.
Anastasia’s reputation had instantly improved and she was viewed in a good light by the netizens. They praised her for her good looks, her acts of filial piety, and her new status as Tillman Construction’s current president.
She only found out about the news while she was on her way back from the hospital. The news amused her, and she believed that it was the doing of Elliot. In actual fact, he was the one that bailed out Tillman Corporation, but he gave her all the credits.
She had won praise for being a savvy president who had successfully redeemed her reputation. Although Anastasia was never bothered by how others looked at her, those nasty comments in the past did hurt her feelings.
In the hospital, Francis was pushed into the ward after the doctor performed checks on him. After being in a coma for a month, he finally regained consciousness.
The nurse who came into his ward noticed that his eyes were open and she walked over surprisedly. “Mr. Tillman, you’re awake.”
Immediately, she ran out to get the doctors. Two of the doctors entered the ward and performed some regular checks on him.
“Mr. Tillman, do you feel any discomfort?”
“How long have I been unconscious?” Francis asked with a hoarse voice.
