Upon seeing this, Alex got so furious that he nearly smashed the iPad in his hands.

The news story’s comment section was full of abuses against him. Alex was a proud man who cared a lot about his reputation. At this very moment, however, he was universally condemned like a public enemy.

It didn’t take long before Erica called to ask him what was going on. Having reached the limit of his pacience, Alex snapped, ‘What else could it be? I’m now caught between the devil and the deep blue sea in order to run the company for you! Erica, do you still have money in your hands? I still have millions of wages to pay out. Could you lend me the money first to help me cope with the emergency?”

Erica also couldn’t do anything about it, though. “How am I supposed to have so much money? But I still have a few of my mom’s cards with me. I don’t know whether there’s money on them, though.”

“Go check whether there’s still money on the cards, then. However much money there is, wire it over first. If the situation goes on, Tillman Constructions will go bankrupt, upon which we get nothing. Not only that, but we’ll also be massively in debt.” All Alex wanted was to survive their current predicament and seek another project.

Erica had no choice but to check the balance on Naomi’s debit cards first. Only then did she find that Naomi still had over four million in her bank account, of which she kept one million and transferred the rest to Alex.

Alex then quickly came to the finance department and had the money credited into the company’s bank account to alleviate the problem of unpaid salaries.

There wasn’t much money left in the finance department’s bank account, so the money Erica gave Alex was only enough to pay last month’s wages. Still, he breathed a soft sigh of relief. Next, he’d have to work hard to negotiate business deals and get the projects going

Upon receiving a phone call from

Gregory, Anastasia surmised that Alex had run out of money. The money Alex had credited into the company’s bank account was probably all Naomi and Erica had left.

What would eventually become of

Tillman Constructions? Anastasia decided to put the matter aside first and let Alex be distressed over it. He brought this on himself, after all, she thought.

Having no money left for leisure spending, Erica came home from the outside with a weary look on her face. She called Mrs. Garner over and had the latter cook dinner for her. Well, I guess I’ll lay her off after she gets her paycheck at the end of this month.

“Mrs. Garner, it’s near the end of the month. From next month onward, you don’t have to come anymore, Erica said to Mrs. Garner.

Mrs. Garner nodded. ‘Yes, Miss Erica,” Then, she asked tentatively, ‘Miss Erica, the man who was outside yesterday is here again. Is he related to you?”

Erica instantly changed her countenance with a ferocious look in her eyes. “Don’t let him in He’s just a beggar’

Seeing that she would be laid off in a few days, Mrs. Garner decided to start carrying out her plan. And besides, the Tillman Family no longer had much. money left, so she had to extort a pretty penny from Erica while the latter still had some money. Suddenly, she tossed the piece of rag in her hand onto the floor and said to Erica, ‘He isn’t a beggar, Miss Erica. He’s your biological father, isn’t he?”

Erica was so shocked by her words that the cell phone she had just taken out slipped from her grasp and fell onto her lap. She sharply turned to stare at Mrs.

Garner, asking, “What are you talking about?”

“Stop hiding it from me, Miss Erica. I overheard your conversation with him. You’re not Mr. Tillman’s daughter, but the daughter of madam and that guy, right? Anastasia Tillman is the real and only daughter of the Tillman Family.”

“T-That’s nonsense! Who allowed you to spew that nonsense?!” Erica stood up with a ferocious expression. “Try saying that nonsense again if you dare!”

Mrs. Garner was a servant, but she had the bearing of a shrew. With her hands on her hips, she argued, “Miss Erica, if you want me to keep my mouth shut, you’ve got to silence me with money. If not, I’ll go around telling people about it. Let’s see if you’ll still be able to stay in the Tillman Family then.”

In fact, Erica was indeed afraid that she would do so. She immediately implored in a soft voice, “Mrs. Garner, you’ve worked for our family for a dozen years, during which time we’ve never mistreated you. Could you please not go around telling people about it? Please.”

However, Mrs. Garner replied uncompromisingly, “You saw with your own eyes how your mother had treated me over the last dozen years. Not only am I doing the housekeeping for the entire household for such meager wages, but I’m ordered around by you guys like a slave! Miss Erica, there’s no way you can brush me off with peanuts.”

Erica was taken aback; she never thought that her parentage was going to be brought to light. If Mrs. Garner were to tell Anastasia about it, she wouldn’t even have the right to inherit Tillman: Constructions! Mrs. Garner, I don’t have money with me right now. My dad’s company is running into problems, so I’ve given all my money to the company.”

Mrs. Garner wasn’t a kind person, though; she counted on the money to live out her life in retirement. “I want a million-every cent of it. Take your time to think about it, Miss Erica. I want to see the money by tomorrow afternoon.”

For an instant, a murderous flicker flashed across Erica’s eyes. In her mind’s eye, Mrs. Garner was just a low-class servant. And now, not only did the latter have the nerve to blackmail her for money, but she even demanded one million from her! “Okay, I’ll get the money ready by tomorrow afternoon.” she replied, pretending to compromise with Mrs. Garner..

‘Alright then, I’ll wait for your phone call. Don’t play any tricks on me, Miss Erica. I’m not afraid of anything,” replied Mrs. Garner. Then she took off her apron and threw it onto the floor, saying cockily, “I’ve had enough of working for your family. Mr. Tillman was relatively nice to me, but you and your mother never treated me as a human.”

“Sorry, Erica apologized.

“What’s the use of saying sorry? Just give me the money! Bear in mind that I want one million,” said Mrs. Garner before she picked up her bag and left.

After Mrs. Garner left. Erica no longer concealed the murderous look in her eyes. How dare a low-class servant threaten me?! This easily gave her an urge to kill. Such a person doesn’t deserve to live in this world. Sitting on the sofa, she began to plan on killing Mrs. Garner, Mrs. Garner is childless. Even if she dies in some remote place, nobody will know about it.

Meanwhile, in the hospital’s conference room, Anastasia’s subordinates in the finance department were sitting across from her. Since Elliot didn’t like her to meet Alex, she could only have meetings with her subordinates in the hospital.

“Miss Tillman, we’ve collected all the evidence of Alex Hunter’s embezzlement of the company’s funds.”

Anastasia replied. “Keep the evidence and put it aside for the time being.” This amount of money isn’t enough to make Alex pay the price.

“There’s one more thing. We found that Silverstar Enterprise has an outstanding payment of as much as 30 million. We’ve called the company, and they’ll credit the money into our company’s bank account at the end of the month.”

“Is that so?” Anastasia frowned sh a scheming look began to form in her eyes. She said, “Mr. Lewinsky, go back to Tillman Constructions with your men first. I’m gonna hand the finance department over to Alex. I’ve got to devote myself to looking after my dad.”

Gregory was startled for a moment before he nodded. “Okay.”

After the meeting ended, Anastasia asked Gregory to stay. She said to him, “Mr. Lewinsky, please help me keep a close eye on the accounts.”

Gregory understood what she meant. “I got it, Miss Tillman.”

After the subordinates left, Anastasia picked up her phone and dialed Alex’s number.

“Hey, Anastasia. Is there anything?” Alex sounded somewhat excited.

“Well, I have to devote myself to taking care of my dad, so I may not have time to care about the company’s finances anymore. I’m gonna hand the company’s finances back to you”

“Dad’s condition matters more than anything else. Anastasia, you can leave the company to me with peace of mind. I’ll definitely save the company from its hopeless situation.”

“Alright. You can rehire your former subordinates into the finance department. My people are gonna leave the department.”
