Reluctant
After tolerating Anastasia time after time, Erica thought her hatred of Anastasia only grew deeper, as she
felt it was Anastasia who had forced her into this situation. However, she was left with no other choice
but to give up the company to Anastasia. “Fine! I’ll give up all of my shares to you for five million.” Erica
caved to Anastasia’s offer, but quickly added one more demand of her own. “Release my mother as
well.”
“You can give up on those thoughts. She needs to pay for what she did.” Anastasia refused to budge.
Tears of anger welled in Erica’s eyes. “She’s my mother.”
“You reap what you sow. With how much karma she has accumulated, she needs to pay the price of her
actions,” Anastasia replied indifferently.
At Anastasia’s words, Erica felt her heart jerked sharply, her hands trembling slightly, as the thought of
Mrs. Garner surfaced in her mind. No, I’ve done nothing wrong. She tried to calm herself by convincing
herself that there would be no retribution waiting for her down the line. “Fine. I’ll go to the company with
you right now to sign the contract.” She did not want to have anything to do with Tillman Constructions a
second longer.
“Good.” Anastasia smiled with relief in her eyes. Ultimately, she did not wish for her father’s company to
go bankrupt, as it was her father’s life’s work.
Anastasia drove herself to Tillman Constructions with a black SUV following behind her. Inside the black
SUV were the bodyguards Elliot had assigned for her protection.
Inside Francis’ office, Erica eagerly took out the contract for her shares and the equity transfer contract.
After she finished signing, Anastasia also signed the transfer contract and stamped it with her fingerprint.
Looking at the signed contract, Erica felt slightly reluctant but relieved at the same time, as she no longer
needed to worry about falling into debt. “Anastasia, what are you going to do now?” Erica asked
deliberately out of curiosity about how her sister was going to reverse the company’s situation.
Naturally, Anastasia did not have the capability to do so. However, as luck would have it, she had
someone backing her, someone amazing. “I have my ways regarding that. You can leave now,”
Anastasia said.
Erica herself did not wish to stay in the company any longer as well. Before she left the company, she
dropped by the finance department but could not find. Oscar there. Regardless, even if she did. meet
Oscar here, all she could do was swallow her pain alone.
After Anastasia watched Erica’s car leaving the company from the French window, she dialed Elliot’s
number.
‘Have you gone to Tillman Constructions? Elliot asked..
“Yeah, Erica has given up all of her shares to me.”
“They couldn’t even handle this much?”
Elliot asked rhetorically before he continued, “Wait for me. I’ll come over right now.” This sentence of his
was filled with an indescribable strength that warmed Anastasia’s heart. With Elliot around, she wouldn’t
need to worry about the company’s future at all.
Thirty minutes later, two armored SUVs opened up the way to the front entrance of Tillman
Constructions. The domineering,black Rolls-Royce Phantom was the first in line with seven to eight
luxury cars following behind. Just like this, the company’s car park was filled to the brim. The employees
were shocked as they watched all these vehicles from the various windows of the building. All of them
started speculating just what kind of big shot had come and whether these people were the company’s
salvation.
One of the bodyguards opened the door of the black car to reveal Elliot getting out of the car. He was
dressed to the nines, as he gave off a powerful presence with his black formal wear. As though following
his lead, a group of people also came down from the luxury cars. They all gave a look of respect toward
Elliot before following him into Tillman Constructions. It was a majestic sight to behold the group of them
march with gusto behind Elliot..
Anastasia knew Elliot arrived but did not know he had brought along so many guests. Just then, Elliot
entered her office. Puzzled, she looked at him. “Who are those people?”
“They’re all your father’s former clients. They came to have a meeting with you.”
Anastasia blinked dumbfoundedly before feeling the warmth in her heart gradually coming to the surface.
Looks like he’s already planning to resume the company’s projects.
Then, Elliot took her hand in his. “Let’s go and listen to what they have to say.”
