“Hello? Anastasia’s voice was chilly.

“Anastasia, could you inform me before freezing my debit cards? My life is affected now that all my debit cards are completely unusable,’ Alex said in a polite tone.

Anastasia had no intention of letting him off, though. “President Hunter, you should know why I have your debit cards frozen. There are problems with several accounts, so your cards will be unusable until the money is recovered.”

“Anastasia, I’m Erica’s husband and your brother-in-law. Could you unfreeze my debit cards first for the sake of our relationship? I’ll solve the rest of the issues as quickly as possible,” Alex implored humbly.

“Sorry, but let’s follow the company’s rules,” Anastasia replied before hanging up.

At once, Alex pounded the wall as if he had gone crazy. He had been under tremendous pressure recently. There were always problems with running the company: he often had to deal with either a lack of materials or a bunch of customer complaints. Not only that, but he had to source for new clients. In other words, being the president of Tillman Constructions was far from being as glamorous as he had imagined.

Alex’s eyes were bloodshot; he had no choice but to take out his cell phone and dial Erica’s number.

“Hello?”

“Erica, Anastasia froze my bank cards. Could you lend me yours for a moment? I need it now for an emergency.”

“What? Why would Anastasia freeze your bank cards?” “She found out about the money I embezzled last time and used it as a reason to have my bank cards frozen,” Alex explained somewhat indignantly.

“Alright, I’ll give you a card later,’ Erica replied.

Alex then hung up on her. Still, he was finding a way to unfreeze his cards.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, the female nurse in charge of Francis’ fluids was replacing his cannula when she suddenly sensed a movement in his arm as she was holding it. Startled, she stopped putting in his cannula and hurried outside to report it to the doctors.

Soon after that, Anastasia learned that Francis had shown a response. Seeing the few specialists who were checking on Francis’ condition before his sickbed, she stood outside the window with a flicker of surprise in her eyes. Dad finally made a movement, which means that he’s getting closer and closer to regaining consciousness.

Just then, the nurse in charge of replacing Francis’ cannula just now came over to her, saying, “Miss Tillman, I’m sure that your father moved.”

“Thank you. I believe that my dad’s recovering, Anastasia replied thankfully. After that, she took out her cell phone and dialed Elliot’s number. She said to him in surprise, “My dad showed a response just now. He moved.

She didn’t realize that it was strangely quiet on the other end of the line. Elliot’s voice sounded especially deep and clear as if it were played in stereo; he was happy for her. “Is that so? Well, that means our efforts aren’t in vain.”

Realizing that it was too quiet on the other end, Anastasia asked with embarrassment, ‘Are you in a meeting?”

“Mm-hm, Elliot replied with a chuckle. “In that case, just go ahead with your meeting. I won’t bother you any longer

“Alright, I’ll call you back when the meeting is over,” Elliot said to her.

Anastasia hung up. She really wanted to share with him immediately what had just happened to Francis, but she somewhat blamed herself upon recalling how she had interrupted him while he was in a meeting. As for Erica, she had no intention of sharing the matter with her. She didn’t feel like telling Erica about it. After all, all the latter cared about was the company, not her father.

Meanwhile, Naomi was still being detained. The evidence submitted by Anastasia was sufficient for her to be charged with attempted murder. At this moment, she experienced how distressing it was to be imprisoned. Only two weeks had passed since she was put behind bars, but she was already feeling miserable. To her, life in prison was utterly inhumane.

At this moment, she found herself hoping that Francis could regain consciousness and get her out of prison. Even if he hated her and divorced her, she was fine with it as long as she didn’t have to go to prison. And besides, Erica couldn’t be of much help to her while she was here; all the former could do was bring her clothes. Other than that, all she had here was a bed surrounded by ice cold walls. She yearned for life outside the prison, but she also dreaded what Anastasia would do to her.

If Francis were to remain comatose for life, Anastasia would probably hate her so much as to have her locked up in here forever. She felt like crying. To think that I’d forsake my comfortable life out there and let myself come to such a bad end, she thought. She hoped day after day that Erica and Alex would get her out of here. only to get disappointed every single day. Still, she knew how much Erica was capable of; the latter was essentially terribly spoiled and had no ability to speak of. She also regretted not having raised Erica to be like Anastasia, who could put everything aside first to save her father.

In the afternoon, Erica brought Alex a bank card, wanting to ask him out to dinner in the evening before spending some quality time together. After all, now that they were husband and wife, she also wanted to sleep with him.

However, Alex declined her dinner invitation, saying that he had to work until late tonight because he was too busy with work at his office.

Erica was a person who could hardly stay idle. And besides, she’d rather go home and binge on TV dramas in bed than keep Alex company while he worked extra hours. Moreover, Alex also persuaded her to go home, so she had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

Just when she was halfway to her home, she heard the beep of a text message. She picked up her cell phone and took a look. only to see a message saying that 40,000 had been withdrawn from her card.

Erica was stunned. For whom did Alex withdraw the 40,000? Not only that, but it pained her that he had withdrawn such a large amount at one go. However, recalling that he needed the money urgently to feast the clients or something, she had no choice but to suppress her displeasure.

Unbeknownst to her, however, the 40,000 was delivered to Hayley’s hands as soon as it was withdrawn by Alex. Seeing the stack of notes on the desk, she hugged Alex happily, “Alex, thank you for always having me on your mind.”

Alex replied, “I can’t let you suffer, after all.’ He was really in love with Hayley, whose gentleness and adoration for him made him feel needed. Furthermore, he liked her pretty looks. Her features, which somewhat resembled Anastasia’s, often fascinated him..

Meanwhile, Erica drove back to her home when she suddenly saw the man from last time-her biological father-standing by the wall next to the gate. Startled, she immediately got out of her car. ‘What are you doing here? Who gave you the permission to show up here? She showed no respect for him, as if chasing a beggar away.

However, the man asked her for money right away as her father. “Erica, I need more money. Your dad is short of cash here.”

Erica was filled with disgust. She replied with a sneer, “Who told you that you’re my dad? Get out of my face! I don’t want to see you at all! How could you ask me for money again after I gave you over 10,000 just a few days ago? Are you taking me for an ATM machine?”

However, the man had found out about the Tillman Family’s background. “How could you have no money? Francis Tillman is rich; he’s got a big company and owns assets of over a billion! What about your mom?”

At this very moment, Erica hated Naomi somewhat. Why would the latter choose such a low-class man to be her father? He was nothing but a useless good-for nothing. “That’s the Tillman Family’s money. What does it have to do with you.

“You’re the Tillman Family’s second daughter, so you definitely have money. I don’t need much, Erica. Just give me another 20,000, and I promise I won’t show up again!”

Upon hearing that, Erica immediately believed him. “Really? You won’t show up again?”

“You’re my daughter. Now that you’re doing well, I’m glad about it. I won’t show up and disturb you and your mother.”

Erica happened to have 20,000 in her bag, which she had just withdrawn from her bank account. Upon hearing his words, she took out her bag and produced a stack of notes from it before handing it to him. “Hide as far away as possible, and don’t let me see you again.”

The man’s face lit up with pleasure as he took the money. “Sure.”

Upon seeing this, however, Erica felt even more disgusted. She even found herself dirty for having the man’s blood running in her veins. How she wished she were Francis’ daughter, just like Anastasia!

However, as long as no one uncovered her parentage, she would still be Francis second daughter and the second young lady of the Tillman Family. Inwardly, she was determined to keep this a secret for life.

However, she didn’t know that her parentage was no longer a secret. Mrs.Garner, the servant of her home, had learned about it.
