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?”

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.”
