Chapter 256 A Meal With Anastasia
“We have to find a way to grab Dad’s company, Mom! We can’t let Anastasia and her son have
everything. Dad has already been so cruel to us, so we shouldn’t worry about him anymore.” Erica
wanted her father’s company desperately because no other asset was comparable to a listed company
worth several billion.
Instantly, there was a flash of ruthlessness in Naomi’s eyes. “You’re right, Erica! Your father is too harsh
on us. He doesn’t even care about us! You must inherit the company. Will you take my advice, Erica?”
“Of course, I will! I will do whatever you ask me to.” Erica grew up under her mother’s protection, so
she believed that everything her mother did was for her own good.
“Then, seduce Alex and make him stand in line with us. He will be of big help to us when we decide to
take over your father’s company.”
“What?!” Erica grunted in disdain. “Alex Hunter? He’s just an insignificant finance manager under Dad’s
company.”

future. Your dad has already been so cruel to us, so he can’t blame us for being unloyal to him one day.
Alex will be really useful to us in the future.” Naomi looked at her daughter calmly, already having a
rough plan in her mind.
“Hmph! He’s just a sore loser. Getting him to fall head over heels for me is easy-peasy. It’s a blessing
for him to have my admiration.” Though Erica was forced by her mother to seduce Alex, she despised
his background from the bottom of her heart.
Having known someone like Elliot, who was high-up and elegant, there was no room for ordinary men
in Erica’s eyes. Even if she couldn’t marry Elliot, she still had to marry into a wealthy family.
“Isn’t Dad’s company going to be acquired, Mom? What if Dad no longer has his company?” Erica
inquired worriedly.
“What’s the hurry? The Presgrave Family is still indebted to Anastasia’s mother, so they definitely won’t
sit back and do nothing. Once Anastasia asks them, the Presgraves will definitely lend a hand.” Naomi
was certain that Anastasia would ask for Elliot’s help.
“Anastasia wouldn’t be so delusional to think that she can marry Elliot, right?” Erica inquired with
jealousy.
A worried Naomi thought that no matter what, the Presgraves would never accept a woman with a
child. “I don’t think the Presgraves will take her in. They are just nice to her because they are repaying
her mother’s kindness. Besides, why would they want a woman with a child born out of wedlock?”
“That’s true. Anastasia isn’t even worthy of such a handsome and sophisticated man like Elliot.” Erica
also thought that the reason why Elliot was nice to Anastasia was to repay her kindness and that he
would certainly marry another woman in the future.
In the early morning, Anastasia woke up, but she didn’t catch a good night’s sleep. After having
breakfast, she brought Jared to the hospital to visit her father.
When Francis saw his grandson, he was delighted and his mood had lightened so much that he was
able to be discharged from the hospital by noon.
Anastasia came out to the corridor, not wanting to interrupt the grandfather-and-grandson moment.
Just then, Alex walked over with some fruits in his hands. “Miss Tillman, I heard that you sought help

Anastasia nodded, but her heart was heavy since asking for help came with a lot of pressure.
Looking at her, Alex could feel a strong sense of admiration as he had fallen in love with Anastasia at
first sight. No word could describe how much he liked her or loved her.
At that moment, Anastasia was wearing a ruffled blouse paired with denim jeans. She looked casual
yet stylish and her long hair was let down over her shoulders as it accentuated her delicate face. All in
all, she looked extremely attractive.
“Miss Tillman, let’s have lunch together. I have already booked a restaurant to celebrate President
Tillman’s discharge.”
“Okay, sure!” Anastasia nodded.
Hearing that, Alex was over the moon. He could finally sit down for a meal and have a proper
conversation with her. Taking out a bottle of water from his bag, he handed it to Anastasia, offering,
“Here, drink some water.”
