Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 539

In the end, Alex’s heart sank into the depths of despair. Could this be Elliot’s doing too? Is he trying to force Tillman Constructions into bankruptcy so that the company is ruined in my hands? All of a sudden, he was filled with terror and dread. Now that Tillman Constructions was in his hands, it brought him great danger instead of money. At the moment, he was under pressure from both the employees and its shareholders; his nerves were about to snap as all kinds of pressure bore down on him. If the employees couldn’t get their paycheck, he would become their main target.

As such, Tillman Constructions was plunged into a crisis, with Alex suffering the most as the person in the eye of the storm. Before he could enjoy the pleasure brought by power and wealth, he was suffocated by the pressure weighing on his chest.

Such was Elliot’s trick. Instead of making

Tillman Constructions go bankrupt in one fell swoop, he wanted Alex to go through hell for his greed. With Anastasia taking charge of the company’s finances, whatever decision Alex made had to gain

her approval. If she were to put a little more pressure on him, he wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. This would make him even more anxious, like a cat on a hot tin roof.

Today, as soon as Alex stepped out of the company’s entrance, he was approached by three MPVs, from which a bunch of reporters suddenly stepped out and blocked his path. “Excuse us, President Hunter, but some of Tillman Constructions’ employees complained

that their paychecks had been delayed. Can we ask if it’s true?”

“How are you gonna deal with the salary payments?”

“As Tillman Constructions’ president, you have to give the public an explanation.”

Alex looked at the cameras that were

focused on his face. He stretched out his hand and knocked off one of the cameras, saying, “Stop filming! I’m not gonna comment on my company’s affairs.”

“But some of Tillman Constructions’ employees are staging a protest about

this. President Hunter, what you

gonna do about their delayed paychecks?”

Just then, the security guards came over and brought Alex into Tillman Constructions’ premises, keeping the reporters outside the entrance. Stepping into the company’s lobby in discomfiture, Alex said to the security guards, “Don’t let the reporters in.”

Less than ten minutes later, Alex was on the news, with a very eye-catching title above his photo. It read, ‘Alex Hunter, President of Tillman Constructions, Suspected of Embezzling Huge Sums of Money and Delaying Paychecks on Purpose.

Upon seeing this, Alex got so furious that he nearly smashed the iPad in his hands.

The news story’s comment section was full of abuses against him. Alex was a proud man who cared a lot about his reputation. At this very moment, however, he was universally condemned like a public enemy.
