In spite of the chaos online, Anastasia directed all her focus on taking care of her dad in Presgrave Hospital. Sitting by his bed and staring down at his pale face, she forced herself to remain strong. She could not break down at a time like this.
Meanwhile, at Tillman Residence, Erica was scrolling on her phone, watching video after video. However, the more she scrolled, the more frustrated she got. Just then, she received a call from Alex.
“Hey”
“This is causing quite the uproar. Aren’t you afraid that it would get out of hand?” Alex asked, worried. After all, he had the exact same mindset as a rat that hid in the gutters, forever shying away from the light.
Even so, Anastasia was now under attack. Any response from her would turn the tides and redirect the barrage of attacks toward those who were after her.
“What are you afraid of? Honestly, your are such a coward. Having the whole world know about this will force her to return my father to me,” she answered.
“I will notify Anastasia to attend tomorrow’s meeting then. It is time to publicize the will,” he said.
Joy flashed through her eyes. She had been waiting eagerly for this very moment. “For real? That is amazing! Does that mean there will be no issues with the will?”
“Everything will go smoothly.”
“Nice, and by tomorrow, my mother and I will take over 60% of all the company shares my father owned!”
When she hung up on the phone, she was nearly bursting with giddiness. She was going to be rich. The thought of having to ask Francis for money all these years filled her with disgust. He was not her actual father, yet she had to call him that for so many years.
Frankly speaking, she felt no love for Francis
All she wanted was money, an endless stream of money
It was around three in the afternoon when Anastasia received a call from Alex, notifying her about the details of the board meeting scheduled for tomorrow. Due to Francis’ condition and the fact that the company could not go for long without a decision maker, the board needed to discuss the company’s next step forward.
After she agreed to attend the meeting. Alex decided to ask, “Are you okay, Miss Tillman?”
“I’m fine.”
“I saw a lot of lies being spread online about you.”
