Chapter 330 – Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

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

Hayley suddenly thought of Francis. She doubted Anastasia and Elliot would proceed with the engagement if Francis were to get into an accident.

But what could she do to create an ‘accident? Naomi and Erica would definitely not do it. After all, Francis was their cash cow. It seemed like Alex was the only one who could do it.

Hayley also knew that Alex was anxious. Francis had been training Anastasia to take over Tillman Constructions and as soon as she learned to manage the company, it was only a matter of time before the company ultimately belonged to her.

Now that Anastasia and Elliot were getting engaged, and she had Elliot the business genius to back her up, Alex served no purpose being by Anastasia’s side.

There was still half a month before the engagement, which meant there was enough time for Hayley to arrange what she needed to. As she thought about this, a cruel glint appeared in her eyes.

Alex was slightly tired when he finally came back during the wee hours. As there were some problems with the company’s financial inventory, he had to stay behind until the issue was resolved before he could leave.

“Alex, you’re home.” Hayley immediately went over and hugged him. She then stood on her tiptoes to kiss him. “I have warmed up some noodles for you. Come have some.”

Instead, the man went to sit on the sofa. “Bring me a glass of beer,” he told her.

And so, Hayley immediately went and opened a can of beer for him. She then sat next to him and looked at him. “Alex, are you tired from work?” she asked with a worried expression on her face. “Erica told me that Anastasia is getting engaged to Elliot. I reckon Anastasia might be able to take over her father’s company at any time.”

Alex abruptly raised his head in shock. “When was this?”

“On Christmas Eve.”

He started to feel anxious then. The current situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for his plans against Tillman Constructions..

“Alex. Elliot will be Francis’ son-in-law if he were to get engaged to Anastasia. There is a possibility that Francis may. hand the company over to Elliot. Do you think you can continue to keep your position as the financial manager whent the time comes?” Hayley was instilling fear into Alex at that point.

Alex knew full well how much Elliot hated him because of how he used to cling to Anastasia without knowing his place. This could be the sole reason Elliot would sack him from the company if Tillman Constructions ever fell into

Elliot’s hands.

Hayley then continued rather agitatedly,

“It is about time I got in contact with Naomi for her to start with the plan.” Confused, Alex lifted his chin to look at her. “What do you mean?” he asked.

“We have to stop Anastasia and Elliot from getting engaged, and the only way to do that is for Francis to get into an accident serious enough to prevent him from attending the engagement party. Anastasia would surely be too disheartened to carry on with the engagement. When that happens, you can alter Francis’ will and split Tillman Constructions into two. Anastasia can have half of the ownership, but Naomi and her daughter must have the other half. They will have to rely on you when they want to secure half of the shareholders’ rights. You can negotiate with them and tell them that you want one-third, or more, of the shares.” Hayley’s gaze was laser-focused as she explained the plan she had carefully thought out.

Alas, her ultimate goal was to stop the engagement between Elliot and Anastasia from happening.

This was Hayley’s revenge toward Anastasia. There was no way she would allow Anastasia to have peaceful days.

Hayley knew just how she could use Erica and Naomi to complete her plan. She would only have to give them a light push, and the mother-daughter duo. would automatically come up with their way to deal with Francis.

Sure enough, Hayley’s words planted a seed in Alex’s heart, and he was fueled by greed to seize part of the Tillman Constructions equity.

If something were to happen to Francis, and Naomi revised the will so that she and her daughter had half of the company’s shares, they surely would know nothing about the handling of the company. And when that happened, they would definitely entrust Alex to take care of what they had in hand. He would be able to make a proper request to have a part of it when the time came.

Just one-third of the mother-daughter’s equity would be worth more than 100 million. It was a sum that he could never earn, no matter how hard he worked his whole life.

“Alex, I will support you. I will support you no matter what you do. I don’t want anything else. I just want to stay by your side,” Hayley exclaimed, effectively melting his heart with her tenderness.

Upon hearing that, Alex put his arms around her. “You are so clever, Hayley. You came up with such a good solution.”

“Everything I do is for us.” She looked at him with endearing eyes as she murmured, “It is all because I love you.” Alex immediately felt deeply satisfied at that.

After they spent the whole night being tangled in each other’s arms under the sheets, Hayley was sure that her plan had been acknowledged by Alex, and it would soon be carried out.

Early morning the next day, Alex secretly made an appointment with Naomi and Erica. After they had all arrived in the private room of the appointed restaurant, he began to tell them in detail about the plan Hayley had told him last night. Erica was fairly startled as she listened to his words, bu: Naomi was surprisingly calm as she sat there.

“Alex, do you have the confidence to do this?

“Of course, the two of you will have to lend a hand in this.” He didn’t want to be the only one who was responsible for it.

Erica, however, was still too timid to do something that would harm her father.

She muttered in a small voice, “Mom…

Dad-”

Naomi immediately cut her off as she threw a glance at her daughter, ‘You call him your Dad, but has he ever thought of you as his daughter?

Alex chimed in too. “Erica, your mother is right. President Tillman only has eyes for Anastasia. The will shall take effect immediately if you don’t act now. It is still not too late to alter the will. You won’t be getting anything otherwise.”

Upon hearing that, Erica was instantly filled with resentment for Francis. She clenched her jaw before she finally said, “Okay. I agree with your plan.”

Naomi and Alex continued chatting into the afternoon before he finally left. They decided to first have Francis killed, then secretly change his will. They would be bribing lawyers along the way and have the company divided into three equal parts, Naomi and Erica would each hold one part of it, whereas Anastasia would have the other one. This would make the mother and daughter own more than 60% of the company’s equity, which meant that they would have absolute right of execution over the company.

Naomi and Erica continued to stay at the restaurant after Alex left. Erica’s hands were shaking ever-so-slightly, as she felt uneasy about the plan.

Naomi suddenly took her daughter’s hand and stared at her calmly. “Erica, are you afraid?”

“Mom, does Dad really have to die!” There was fear written all over Erica’s face at that point.

Naomi felt that it was time to tell her something, or else her daughter would not be able to carry on with the plan calmly.

“Erica, Mom has something to tell you. You won’t be scared anymore after this, Naomi reassured her.

“What is it?”

“It is about your birth. Francis is not your biological father. You are the child born to me and another man.” Naomi felt no need to continue hiding her secret. Erica’s head immediately went blank as she heard the shocking news. “What?! Mom, how can I not be Dad’s daughter? Didn’t Dad have a DNA test when you brought me to the house? Did he not doubt me at all?”

“Of course Francis did. I drew blood from you in front of him to do the DNA test, but I exchanged a container of Anastasia’s blood with yours. That is why Francis has had no doubts for so many years.”

Erica clutched her chest after hearing her mother’s confession. This secret was too shocking even to her..

“Who is my biological father then she couldn’t help but ask.

“You don’t have to care about who he is. He’s just a piece of trash who is still rolling in poverty!” Naomi spat contemptuously. “We must do this if we want to live a good life for the rest of our lives.”

As Naomi had expected. Anastasia started feeling a lot better after that. It turned out that the man she had called ‘Dad’ for over 20 years was not her biological father.

“You can’t just call him Dad for so many years for nothing. We must get the share we deserve.” Naomi’s eyes were filled with determination to win.

Erica was also afraid of losing status and wealth during the remainder of her life. She was just like her mother at this very moment-she wanted a share of Francis property. Francis might very well chase her out of the Tillmans’ if he were to find out her identity one day.
