Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 521

Today was 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 respective departments were present, Erica stood up and led the meeting. “My mother could not attend due to 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.
