Chapter 524
Today was Christ
yas Christmas Eve-the day Anastasia and Elliot were supposed to have held their engagement party. However, it
was canceled due to Francis’ accident and eventual comatose state. Anastasia had also felt apologetic toward Elliot
for this.
In the morning, Anastasia was to head to the company for a meeting, while she would spend the night celebrating
Christmas Eve with Elliot back in the Presgrave Residence.
When Anastasia arrived in the conference room of Tillman Constructions, she noticed Erica’s resentful glares at
her. The hatred in Erica’s eyes seemed as though it could come bursting out, as she did not even bother to inform
Erica when Naomi had been taken down to the station. Anastasia then glanced over to the man beside Erica. Alex
only met Anastasia’s eyes one time before he looked away, as he was afraid to make any further eye contact with
her.
The participants of the meeting were all key members of Tillman Constructions. When all the managers of their

certain matters. Also, I would like to announce that Alex and I have gotten our marriage certificate. Hence, from
now on, as my husband and my father’s son in-law, he will be in charge of the affairs of Tillman Constructions
instead of my mother and me.”
Everyone present was shocked, yet some seemed to have anticipated such development, as they had seen the
ambitions in Alex’s eyes. Thus, it was not surprising for them to see Alex finally obtaining the position he always
pined for. On the other hand, Anastasia was slightly shocked, as she had not expected Naomi to make her move so
quickly by letting Alex replace her as president of the company and be the pillar of support for Erica.
“Let’s have President Hunter give a few words.” Erica took her seat as she proudly turned her attention toward
Alex.
With his ambitions concealed, Alex stood up and feigned a slightly modest expression before addressing the room.
“Right now, there is no one in charge. That is why Erica and I have decided to get married this early for me to have
a proper cause to manage the company. Everyone, please have faith in my capabilities. I will certainly take good
care of Tillman Constructions.”
Since Alex still had several supporters in the company, they immediately voiced their opinions and expressed their
trust in him, supporting him for the presidency of the company. Even the others that did not think highly of Alex had
to stick by him, as they believed Alex would make things difficult for them in the company in the future if they did
otherwise.
At the moment, all Anastasia could do was watch Alex become the president of the company and how quickly he
gained everyone’s trust.
“Anastasia, please trust me. I will certainly not let your father down,” Alex said with his eyes on Anastasia with the
intent to gain her trust.
However, there was no chance for Anastasia to trust him, as she knew Alex was involved in her father’s coma.
Furthermore, considering that Alex was also in charge of the finance department, which was the most important
department in the company, it was clear that Alex held too much power in his hand. Given that Erica knew next to
nothing about the company’s operation, it was clear as day that Alex would be fully in control of the company. No
one would be able to stop Alex from doing anything he wanted at that point.
“Since the company is short-staffed right now, I’ve decided to become a member of the company. Mr. Hunter, since
you’ll be the president of the company, then I’ll join the finance department to gain some experience. Surely you
have no qualms with that arrangement?” Anastasia would not stand by and watch her father’s company being

taken over by an outsider.
“Anastasia, it seems you still don’t trust me!” Alex wore a sad expression.
Erica couldn’t help but refuse. “Anastasia Tillman, you’re not a finance major, so why are you trying to join the
finance department? Do you not trust my husband?”
“What if I say I don’t?” Anastasia sneered, “Since I hold 30 percent of the company’s shares, I have the right to
enter any department of the company. Even if I want to be the manager of the finance department, you have no
right to interfere with my decision.”
Noticing the direction the argument was going, Alex immediately interfered. “Anastasia, Erica is right. You have no
experience in finance, but if you wish to be part of the management, the planning department is lacking a manager
or two.”
“I want to be a finance manager,” Anastasia said forcefully. “Otherwise, I will not agree with Mr. Hunter becoming
the president of the company.”
“You…” Erica choked.
“Then how about this, I’ll be the president instead, and Mr. Hunter can continue his position as the finance
manager?” Dressed in a black sweater and black trench coat, Anastasia exuded an indescribable dominance as she
asked with her eyebrows raised.
