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

“If Anastasia takes over the finance department, it would be inconvenient for me in the company.” Alex gritted his teeth as well, as he knew Anastasia had seen through his plans for Tillman Constructions. Looks like I’ve underestimated her intelligence. The upcoming battle would be a battle of wits with her.

“Do we have to let her manage the finance department?” Erica said in exasperation.

“This is all we can do at the moment. Between the president of the company and the manager of the finance department, obviously, I would choose the former. Currently, Alex was still very much thrilled, as he had finally become the president of the company. At the very least, he had the right to decide the company’s affairs from this moment.

Back in the hospital, Anastasia went to take a rest in her private lounge after visiting Francis, as she had not been sleeping well over the past few days.

Elliot had also rushed over to the hospital from the company. Upon entering Anastasia’s room, he found the woman lying on the sofa. The sight of her flowing black hair and delicate fair complexion in the tranquil noon were just like a painting that had come to life.

Captured by such a sight, Elliot went to take a seat on the sofa next to her as quietly as possible. As he admired how

Anastasia looked while she was asleep, his heart started to ache for her once more.

Later, Anastasia woke up to find a pair of legs across her field of vision. As her gaze slowly traveled upward, she saw the man was going through his document intently. With the evening glow behind the man’s back, he looked like a heavenly being with a golden aura surrounding him.

Noticing her gaze on him, he raised his thick eyelashes slightly and met her groggy eyes.

“Did you sleep well?” Elliot asked as he placed the document in his hand on the table.

“Yeah, what time is it?” Anastasia asked before she sat up.

“It’s ten past five right now,”

“It’s time for us to leave for your grandmother’s house, then.” Anastasia ran her fingers through her smooth and silky long hair with clearly defined roots. Even her hair strands were enticing the man before her.

Mesmerized by Anastasia, Elliot couldn’t hold himself back and went over to Anastasia, who had already leaned back slightly with her head raised to look at him. She looked slightly taken aback. Elliot held her chin before kissing her red lips. After that, he planted another kiss on the top of her head before he said, “Let’s

Jared’s waiting for us.”

Unsteady on her feet due to Elliot pulling her up so suddenly, Anastasia couldn’t help but wrap her arms around his waist with her head leaning against his firm chest. In this position, she felt a sense of security that one would not let go the moment one experienced it.

With that, she was led by the man to the underground parking lot before heading for the Presgrave Residence.

On their way there, Anastasia told Elliot about Alex’s appointment as Tillman

Constructions’ president.

Elliot asked right away, “Do you need my help?”

Anastasia replied, “No, I don’t need it for the time being. I want them to give themselves away.” She knew that if Alex were to leave Tillman Constructions, it would be difficult to get anything on them. As long as they still coveted her father’s company, they would definitely give themselves away one day. I’m not gonna let off those who hurt Dad!

“Alright, I’ll pick some capable men for you.” Elliot decided to let her take care of it on her own. As long as she needed him, he would always be by her side.

Christmas Eve was supposed to be a day for reunions, but Anastasia’s heart was heavy when she thought of her father, who was still comatose in the hospital.

Still, she would never give up as long as there was still hope for him.

She spent the night sleeping with her son at the Presgrave Residence. Jared was very obedient and well-behaved to the point where it made her feel sorry for him. Knowing that she had to look after Francis, he didn’t cry or throw hissy fits at the Presgrave Residence.

Meanwhile, Hayley was staying alone in the master bedroom of Alex’s apartment. Alex and Erica had registered their marriage and were officially husband and wife now, but Hayley believed she could capture his heart with her surgically altered face. Erica was merely a tool for him to get rich, as well as the source of Hayley’s current expenditure.

Thanks to her flair for having men eat out of her hand, Alex lavished money on her. Erica had always looked down on his background, so she treated him like dirt. On the contrary, Hayley appeased and worshiped him, making him unable to resist her.

It was early morning, and the six financial officers of Tillman Constructions’ finance department had just clocked in for work and were gossiping idly. Suddenly, six men and women swarmed into the office. Dressed in business attire, they all gave off an air of shrewdness and competence with bright and piercing eyes.

Anastasia came in from behind them before saying to the financial officers in the office, “Sorry, but you all will be laid off as required by work. Don’t worry, we’ll give you your due by offering you three months of wages as compensation.”

“Why are we laid off, Miss Tillman?!” a female employee asked angrily.

“That’s right! It’s not like we committed any mistakes. We’re doing well at our job!”

All Anastasia could do was apologize to them. With that, the whole finance department was reshuffled and its employees were all replaced by the ones sent by Elliot. Now working for Anastasia, these people started to settle all of

Tillman Constructions accounts over the last three years.

When Alex hurried to the scene, all his previous subordinates had already been replaced with Anastasia’s people, who were sitting in the office. “Miss Tillman, your people don’t understand Tillman Constructions’ accounts. It’s easy for mistakes to happen,” he said, forcibly suppressing his anger.

“I know that, so my people will start by settling my dad’s accounts over the last three years. If anything wrong happens, I’ll take responsibility for it, Anastasia replied with folded arms.

He let out a sigh and asked, “Miss Tillman, are you displeased because I’ve taken over your dad’s position?”

However, she replied, “Nope, Mr. Hunter. I just thought that you can only do so much. Since you’re handling the company’s projects, it’ll be difficult for you to take care of the company’s finances, so I’m here to take over to ease your burden.”

Alex couldn’t do anything about her.

However, his previous plans to transfer Tillman Constructions’ funds fell through. Anastasia was having control over the company’s core department, and the new employees she had brought with her were definitely financial elites trained by Elliot, so Tillman Constructions” accounts were going to be as clear as day.

A murderous glint flashed across his eyes. He didn’t want to lay a hand on her, but she had indeed become an obstacle to his money-making. “Well, in that case, Miss Tillman, I’ll leave the finance department to you. You can come to me if there’s anything,” he replied with superficial friendliness while concealing his anger.

Anastasia nodded. “Alright.”

At this moment, her cell phone rang; she darted a glance at its screen before picking it up. “Hello?”

“Are you free? Take a look at today’s morning news!”

Walking toward the French window, Anastasia pleaded with the man, “Come on, just tell me what happened. I’m quite busy.”

“Riley has been sentenced to death. Aliona and her people aren’t able to escape legal punishment as well.”

“Serves them right. But how did he get sentenced to death?”

“They brutally killed Lucas’ son abroad, so Lucas sued him. He was sentenced to death at the first trial for multiple crimes.”

Anastasia closed her eyes. There’s also the death of my mom and the kidnapping of Elliot when he was a child. This guy deserves death for having blood on his hands, she thought.
