My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 568

Chapter 568
“Miss Erica Tillman, you’re now the prime suspect for attempting to assassinate Madam Wanda Garner iwice. We’re gonna have to take you into custody for further investigation.”
At that point, Erica’s face turned as pale as a sheet and everyone in the room had their eyes on her. Her mind was a complete blank and she shivered uncontrollably. In the end, she was forcefully dragged out of the door by the policemen.
“I didn’t kill anyone. I did not! She was the one who threatened me first! I didn’t mean to kill her…” she velled out in a frenzy.
Meanwhile at Presgrave Hospital, Francis had made significant recovery as he could now get out of bed and move about; he had even gone to the gym once! He was now an agile man on his feet.
“I’m allowed to be discharged,” he spoke excitedly as he looked at his daughter who had just entered the room.
“Dad, I’ve got something to tell you next. Please stay calm.”
“Just say it. I’ve faced death in the face, so there is nothing I can’t handle.” Francis heaved a sigh.
“Erica isn’t your biological daughter. She was conceived by Naomi with another man,” Anastasia voiced out frankly.
Though he swore he would be calm, Francis’ expression was full of shock while he was significantly stunned. “What?! Are you sure about that?”
“I’m very sure. You can conduct a paternity test with Erica if you would like more confirmation.” Anastasia was sure about this as she knew that Mrs. Garner’ words were definitely worth trusting. Furthermore, Naomi’s reaction also clearly indicated the authenticity of this matter.
At this moment, a flash of anger appeared in Francis’ eyes. “I can’t believe that she’s lied to me for the past twenty years! She showed me a paternity test report back then. Was that a falsified report then?”
“Perhaps she used my blood to run the test back then,” Anastasia replied.
He clenched his fist tightly and was extremely disappointed in Naomi’s conduct. He turned to look at Anastasia with remorse filling in his eyes. “Anastasia, I’m so sorry for neglecting you all these years.”
“Dad, this is all in the past, so there is no point in bringing it up. Right now, I just hope that you won’t be lenient this uime. Naomi has to face the consequences of her actions. Erica has also committed a crime and she’s been taken into police custody for investigation.”
“What?! Erica… Whal sort of crime?” Francis asked in shock.
In response, Anastasia repeated the incident regarding Mrs. Garner to Francis, who could not believe his ears that Erica was actually heartless enough to commit attempted murder. “She has the exact same personality as her mother. How can they be so heartless? I can’t believe that she killed Mrs. Garner in order to conceal the truth about her identity.”

“Dad, I understand that she grew up under your care and you’re attached to her, but could you leave this matter in my hands? Don’t interfere in this.” She did not wish for such a dilemma upon her father.
He then nodded in agreement. “Sure, I won’t interfere in this. Just do what’s best for everyone.”
“Dad, I need you to cooperate in the investigation of Naomi’s case. You would need to be interviewed by the police regarding the matter of how she forced medications on you before you passed out.”
Anastasia reminded her father as she did not want any of his feelings and kinship toward Naomi to jeopardize the matter. She had already made up her mind to convince her father to file for divorce
“You iwo should get a divorce once the investigation has been completed. I don’t want such a dangerous person staying by your side,” she suggested calmly.
The guilt Francis felt toward Anastasia intensified at that point. Right now, he was relieved that she was able to handle everything on her own. As such, he decided not to bother about the matter with Naomi and Erica. He would just leave everything in Anastasia’s hands.
“Okay?” Francis nodded. Since the situation had arrived to such a stage, there would be no point in him drafung a will anymore because there would be only one person left to inherit his fortune.
At 5.00PM, Anastasia suddenly received a phone call from Elliot. He mentioned that he was sending a car over to pick her up as today was the day he received his latest yacht, hence he wanted to bring her and Jared out to sea to have dinner.
Although she was busy with such complications, she convinced herself to relax and focus on accompanying Elliot and Jared for dinner.
“Miss Tillman, before we leave for the port, President Presgrave asked that you pay a visit to the gown boutique and change into a gown,” the bodyguard mentioned.
In response, Anastasia smiled and replied, “Sure.” He s arranged everything perfectly.
She changed into a purple gown at the boutique and looked stunning with a strong resemblance to a dark violet flower.
“Miss Tillman, I rarely see anyone being able to own this color as much as you do! It looks perfect on you!” the boss of the boutique praised candidly.
