“He’s still unconscious/ Erica said indifferently.

With that, Mrs. Garner stopped talking.

As Erica turned to look at her, disgust flashed through her eyes. Firsally, she drove into a seaside path surrounded by reeds.

At this sight, Mrs. Garner commented in surprise, “Your friend owns a hotel here?”

“No, we made an appointment to meet here. With so much money, she has to find a hidden place to give it to me or it’ll be bad if someone steals it from us,” Erica explained while deliberately dialing her phone. But in fact, there would be not answer as she called her other phone which she usually left in her house.

“Oh no! My friend isn’t answering. Let’s go over and see if she has arrived,” Erica suggested pretentiously.

For the sake of money, Mrs. Garner didn’t think much about her words and believed. her. Hence, they drove all the way into a hill with the sea in the distance and a shore full of dangerous reefs. As Erica parked her car in a thicket and dialed her friend’s phone again, Mrs. Garner immediately looked over

“Hayley, are you here yet? What, you didn’t have time to wait for me? So, where did you keep the money? Why did you leave it there? Okay, I get it. I’ll take it myself then.” Once Erica finished speaking and hung up the phone, she said, “Mrs. Garner, my friend left the money somewhere, so let’s go and check!”

Mrs. Garner nodded and followed her all the way to the edge of the cliff.

Erica pointed to a stone and said. “My friend left the money behind that stone.

Let’s go over and see whether it’s there.”

At first, Mrs. Garner was walking behind her, but Erica took out a card and suddenly threw it beside the bush. “Oh no! Mrs. Garner, my card has been blown away. Hurry and help me pick it up. It’s actually for you.”

When Mrs. Garner saw the card, she instantly rushed over to pick it up without hesitation. Then, Erica seized the opportunity and took advantage of Mrs. Garner’s moment of distraction to cruelly shove her to the bottom of the cliff two meters away. Mrs. Garner waved her hand in horror to grab at something, but her hands only grasped at air and she was soon swallowed by the raging sea below.

Seeing that she had succeeded, Erica lay on the edge of the cliff and looked around for a while. Then, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said while clutching her chest, “You were asking for it, so don’t blame me.”

She sat and watched for a long time, but she didn’t see Mrs. Garner’s body at all. From the looks of the dark sea current, it was impossible for the person involved to float, let alone survive. Even if Mrs. Garner was discovered and they interrogated Erica, she could just make up an alibi. As Mrs. Garner had no children and lived all by herself, it was reasonable for her to jump into the sea and end her own life out of loneliness.

As Erica drove home, she felt completely relaxed. She had finally solved one of her biggest troubles, and no one would ever discover her parentage again. Along the way home, she acted as though nothing happened and continued to eat, drink, and have fun. Last night, Alex told her that the company’s situation had improved. Now, she could simply wait for the profits to come rolling in from the company and make herself a fortune with peace of mind.

In the company, Alex began to prepare for the transfer and embezzlement of the 30 million. He plarned to fake a negotiation with a dummy company, then send the money over to that company before having it wired back to himself. The money could then be considered as part of their company’s deficit.

On the other hand, Hayley was not enjoying herself in Alex’s apartment. She had now lost her sense of taste and smell, which greatly inconvenienced her life.. After she got up early this morning, she went to the mirror and admired her beauty before moving onto a detailed skin care routine. Suddenly, she felt a few bumps on her forehead with a hint of bruises. Although it couldn’t be seen easily, the protruding bumps on her face were a little obvious.

“What’s this?” Hayley stretched out her hand and covered her forehead, not daring to take a closer look all of a sudden. As she previously had a flat forehead, she went for a Botox injection.

Hayley took a deep breath and checked the bumps. The more she looked at it, the angrier she became, and she even felt a little frightened. Were the side effects starting to appear? No, she didn’t have the money to repair and maintain her face now.

It took her a long time before she barely managed to cover these bumps with makeup, but she knew that if she didn’t take care of her face, she would have even more problems in the future. At the beginning, she spent nearly two million on plastic surgery, and some of these procedures required follow-up appointments after three months. Back then, she had Elliot’s black card that she could spend as much as she wanted. However, she didn’t expect that she would be ruthlessly driven out by him one day.

Hayley looked at herself in the mirror, feeling hatred and adoration for her face at the same time. She became even more jealous of Anastasia’s natural beauty, while she had to always be frightened and afraid that she would lose hers at any time.

Early in the morning, Anastasia received a call from the police as Naomi’s lawyer wanted to see her. However, she didn’t really want to meet them as Naomi’s matter was not over yet. The reason why she delayed her father’s resuscitation and the pills found in his mouth were all related to Naomi. Before collecting all necessary evidence, she wouldn’t accuse her yet. She wouldn’t be merciful this time either. Even if Naomi was her stepmother, she wouldn’t go easy on her.

In the afternoon, Naomi’s lawyer contacted Erica, and she directly took the lawyer to the hospital to meet Anastasia. Erica anxiously wished for her mother to: be released as well, so Anastasia had no choice but to face them directly.

In the conference room, the lawyer talked to Anastasia on behalf of Naomi, while Erica sat aside and listened.

“Miss Tillman, Ms. Lowell is your stepmother and has raised you since you were a child…” The lawyer began, intending to persuade Anastasia in a reasonable way.

However, Anastasia scoffed before he even finished his sentence. “Mr. Yale. before you persuade me, you should ask how my stepmother treated me when I was younger. Otherwise, it’ll be a waste of your time.”

Elias Yale couldn’t help but push his glasses up and glance at Erica. For the sake of her mother, Erica became meek all of a sudden. “Anastasia, I know my mother was not a good person, but can you let her out in consideration of her taking care of Dad for so many years and their relationship as a married couple? She’s too old for this.”

Anastasia said emotionlessly, “Now, you think your mother is too old to suffer, but does that mean I deserved to be kicked out of my house by her when I was young? Also, you chased me out like this five years ago, and we still haven’t dealt with that matter yet!”

Erica gulped subconsciously. Never once had she thought that she and her mother would end up in such a predicament, or she would’ve been kinder to Anastasia.

“Miss Tillman, perhaps you are mistaken. According to Ms. Lowell, she only hoped to save her husband from his coma, not to murder him,” Elias said calmly.

“Mr. Yale, the evidence is in my hands. The hospital has the identification certificate which can determine if those drugs were meant to save a person or end their life. If you have any questions, I can tell you the names of those drugs, and you can inquire with an expert about them! If you want to clear her of the crime, my advice is you should convince her to plead guilty instead,” Anastasia retorted coldly.

As she listened to their conversation, Erica broke into a cold sweat. Although Anastasia was never an easy target in the task, she realized that she was even more of a threat now.

“Anastasia, I’m begging you, please let Mom go on the behalf of her taking care of Dad for so many years! I’ll do anything you say, all right? I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. As long as you let her go, we’ll definitely return the favor in the future.” Erica had already let go of all the future.” Erica had already let go of all her pride. As long as her mother could be released, she was willing to humbly beg Anastasia.

However, to Anastasia, it was useless even if Erica got on her knees and begged her. She said coldly, “I’m busy. I have to take care of Dad. You should leave!”

“Anastasia…” Erica stretched out her hand to pull her back, but Anastasia raised her hand in disgust.

“Don’t touch me,” she said scornfully.

Her gaze startled Erica, and she didn’t dare to touch her anymore. As she looked at Anastasia, all she felt was resentment.

As Anastasia didn’t give them a chance, Elias felt that this was a tricky case as well. As he sorted out the documents, he remarked, “Miss Erica, your mother’s case is not an easy one!”

“Please, Mr. Yale, you must help my mom and find a way to save her. I can give you all the money you need,” Erica begged anxiously.

“Your mother’s side is very unfavorable, and your sister isn’t letting up at all. Now, the only way is to wake your father as soon as possible and ask him to come forward to solve this matter. He and your mother have been married for more than 20 years, so he might rescind the charges,”

A glimmer of hope flashed in Erica’s eyes at his words, but it was quickly replaced by panic. No, Francis would not necessarily let them go if he woke up. After they changed his will and divided his company’s equity, and with the evidence that her mother was harming him, what if he didn’t let them go? Therefore, Erica would rather Francis never woke up from his coma.
