Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 546

Erica felt that Alex had a point. If her mother didn’t take the blame, she would have to bear the guilt along with her. Hence, it was only if Naomi confessed to her crimes and cleared Erica’s accusations would she be able to have a good life.

“Stop working overtime and come home with me tonight. I miss you.” Erica was a little afraid of spending the night alone as she had just pushed Mrs. Garner into the sea that morning. Besides, she knew that Mrs. Garner had no chance of survival. Would she turn into a ghost to haunt her at night? She needed his luck.

“Tonight, I…” Alex had just agreed to have dinner with Hayley ten minutes ago and sleep over at her place that night.

“Alex, I need you. Can you stay with me tonight?” Erica embraced him. “I’m too scared to sleep alone.”

Seeing that he couldn’t refuse, he could

only agree to her. While Erica was in the restroom, Alex sent a message to Hayley saying that he had to cancel their date that night.

At that moment, Hayley had already hurriedly dressed up for her romantic night with Alex. Now that he was not coming, her mood was ruined. Is Erica pestering him? Mockery flashed in her eyes at that thought. Is she trying to pick a fight with me? She continued to bombard Alex with messages, telling him to turn down Erica and come to her side before she got angry.

Alex was caught in the middle of two women fighting for his favor. If it were in the past, he might’ve thought that it was his fortune, but now he only felt irritated. While Erica used the restroom, he began to come up with a plan for divorce as well. If not, it would be troublesome if Erica refused to leave him after he got his hands on the money.

He felt that Erica seemed to be uneasy that night, as if she had done something wrong. Though she said that she was afraid to spend the night alone, Alex thought that this was an opportunity to lead her into making a mistake. He had a relatively young assistant from the finance department who was also quite handsome and had a sly and brave

personality that he could take advantage of.

When Erica was getting off work, Alex anxiously told her that he had to meet a client and might only be able to come back from Belros the next morning.

“Alex, I’ll go with you.”

“No, this is an urgent matter. I wouldn’t have time to stay with you even if you come along, and it’s not convenient for us if you’re there.”
