All Erica ever thought about was money and living a lavish, comfortable life. In her twenty years of living in Tillman Residence, she only ever learned one thing-spending.
Life would be a living hell for her if she didn’t have money. All credit to Naomi as well for successfully producing an incompetent daughter.
Lastly, Erica opened Francis’ watch case and took everything in there away without hesitation.
She decided that she would leave Averna and hide in a different town. For all she knew, Wanda might not actually hold her liable.
Back in the hospital, the doctors managed to revive Wanda. Fortunately, the wound wasn’t on her vital organs, or she actually might not have survived.
Wanda had also woken up in no time, finding Anastasia standing by her bed. Because of Naomi, Wanda also snubbed Anastasia in many ways.
But who’d have thought Anastasia would one day be her savior.
“Thank you for saving me, Miss Anastasia. I owe you my life.” Wanda. knew she would’ve bled to death if she was brought here any later.
“Mrs. Garner, please tell me in detail. Why were you hunted, and who were they?”
With that, Wanda recounted the first time she overheard Erica and her birth father’s conversation, to Erica pushing her into the sea, up till what happened earlier in the day.
The story stupefied Anastasia, for she couldn’t believe Erica disregarded human life and broke so many laws just to keep her true parentage under wraps.
“Mrs. Garner, you swear everything you’ve told me is the truth. Are you hiding anything?” Anastasia asked.
“How dare I? I shall be d”mned to hell if I have lied to you!” Wanda was so agitated that she nearly passed out.
Anastasia sneered to herself when she saw Wanda’s sincere gaze. In that case, you shouldn’t blame anyone else when you’ve dug your own grave, Erica.
