Chapter 310 Seize the Company
“Even if we get him on our side, what advantage can we have?” After all, Erica had not yet mastered
the art of planning ahead at such a young age.
“Of course, having Alex in our hands is preferable to him assisting Anastasia. Since he’s coming over
to look for you now, you should use this chance to pull him over. He will be our best chance to seize
your father’s company’s shares.”
Biting her lips, Erica reluctantly replied, “Fine. I’ll make do with it.”
Half an hour later, after receiving Alex’s call, she pretended to be drunk and walked out in a drunken
stupor. When she arrived at the bar’s entrance, she pretended to trip and immediately fell into Alex’s
embrace, her hands hugging him at the same time.
“Mr. Hunter, thank you for picking me up! I’m feeling so dizzy!”
“Are you all right, Miss Erica?” he asked as he assisted her to her feet. Despite this, he absolutely had
no other intentions on her.
After all, Anastasia was the woman he liked as well as the one who would eventually take over Tillman
Constructions.
Erica sensed that he did not take any advantage of her in any way and she was dissatisfied. Am I not
attractive enough?

“Miss Erica, I’ll send you home.”
“No, I’m not going home. I’ve already reserved a hotel room. Please send me there!” She decided to
win him over tonight.
With that, Alex was left with no choice but to send her to the nearest hotel. Right after they entered the
room, she again took the initiative to hug him, claiming to be dizzy.
“Miss Erica, please don’t behave in such a way.” The ambitious Alex was clear as to what he wanted
and hence, he would not lose control here.
Furthermore, he already had Anastasia in his heart and Erica wasn’t attractive to him at all.
“Why, Mr. Hunter? Am I not pretty to you? Don’t you like me?” Erica said as her eyes squinted while her
hands were around his waist. Her gaze was of a seductive one.
“I apologize, Miss Erica. I already have someone in my heart.” He pushed her away calmly, not wanting
to offend her, but did not want to get too close to her either.
“Who’s that?” she asked, pouting her red lips and staring at him through blurry eyes. At the same time,
she tried to lean in closer.
Alex answered right away, “Your sister, Anastasia.”
That immediately snapped Erica out of her drunken state. Her eyes filled with resentment as she
snorted .
With eyes filled with resentment, she snorted. “You like her? In which way is she better than me?”
Alex grabbed such an opportunity to free himself from Erica’s grasp. “I’m sorry. Have a good rest, Miss
Erica.” Right after he finished his words, he opened the door and left.
“Mr. Hunter…” Erica panicked and yelled, but he ignored her and left without hesitation.
Seeing that, she slumped onto the sofa in frustration. She had assumed that Alex would be easy to win
over, but it turned out that he had already been captivated by Anastasia.
Then, Erica called her mother and told her what had just happened. Of course, Naomi would not
reprimand Erica for being useless and instead told her that Anastasia was far more cunning than them,
and that Anastasia had already bought over everyone around Francis. Despite this, she refused to let
Erica give up.
If things really reached the point where Anastasia was going to take over the company, Naomi would
undoubtedly use her own means to seize it. She would not allow Anastasia or Anastasia’s son to gain
such an advantage.
At night, while Jared was asleep, Anastasia sat in front of her desk in front of her bed and huddled

sense of impending winter. On the other hand, in the silent cold night, her thoughts raced with all sorts
of ideas and as a result, a drawing of scattered stars appeared on her sketch paper.
The necklace she had in mind, which she had now drawn on the sketch paper, was like the Milky Way
as it was surrounded by shining stars that glistened in the dark sky. Thanks to her exceptional drawing
skills, the design sketch was well-proportioned. She had created an entire set of jewelry based on the
concept of a starry night within a short span of time.
She only returned to reality after she finished her last sketch and as she looked at it, she was
overjoyed. Finally, the first sketch of her design for the upcoming competition was completed.
Anastasia was so tired that she hit the sack right after finishing her sketch.
The next morning.
Just when she was about to leave for her company after sending Jared, she received Francis’ call.
“Hello, Dad.”
“Drop by my company, Anastasia. There’s an important meeting today thatI want you to join too.”
“What meeting is that?” she asked in surprise.
