Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Hayley suddenly thought of Francis. She doubted Anastasia and Elliot would proceed with the

engagement if Francis were to get into an accident.

But what could she do to create an ‘accident? Naomi and Erica would definitely not do it. After all,

Francis was their cash cow. It seemed like Alex was the only one who could do it.

Hayley also knew that Alex was anxious. Francis had been training Anastasia to take over Tillman

Constructions and as soon as she learned to manage the company, it was only a matter of time before

the company ultimately belonged to her.

Now that Anastasia and Elliot were getting engaged, and she had Elliot the business genius to back

her up, Alex served no purpose being by Anastasia’s side.

There was still half a month before the

engagement, which meant there was enough time for Hayley to arrange what she needed to. As she

thought about this, a cruel glint appeared in her eyes.

Alex was slightly tired when he finally came back during the wee hours. As there were some problems

with the company’s financial inventory, he had to stay behind until the issue was resolved before he

could leave.

“Alex, you’re home.” Hayley immediately went over and hugged him. She then stood on her tiptoes to

kiss him. “I have warmed up some noodles for you. Come have some.”

Instead, the man went to sit on the sofa. “Bring me a glass of beer,” he told her.

And so, Hayley immediately went and opened a can of beer for him. She then sat next to him and

looked at him. “Alex, are you tired from work?” she asked with a worried expression on her face. “Erica

told me that Anastasia is getting engaged to Elliot. I reckon Anastasia might be able

to take over her father’s company at any time.”

Alex abruptly raised his head in shock. “When was this?”

“On Christmas Eve.”

He started to feel anxious then. The current situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for his

plans against Tillman Constructions..

“Alex. Elliot will be Francis’ son-in-law if he were to get engaged to Anastasia. There is a possibility that

Francis may. hand the company over to Elliot. Do you think you can continue to keep your position as

the financial manager whent the time comes?” Hayley was instilling fear into Alex at that point.

Alex knew full well how much Elliot hated him because of how he used to cling to Anastasia without

knowing his place. This could be the sole reason Elliot would sack him from the company if Tillman

Constructions ever fell into

Elliot’s hands.

Hayley then continued rather agitatedly,

“It is about time I got in contact with Naomi for her to start with the plan.” Confused, Alex lifted his chin

to look at

her. “What do you mean?” he asked.

“We have to stop Anastasia and Elliot

from getting engaged, and the only way to do that is for Francis to get into an accident serious enough

to prevent him from attending the engagement party. Anastasia would surely be too

disheartened to carry on with the engagement. When that happens, you can alter Francis’ will and split

Tillman Constructions into two. Anastasia can have half of the ownership, but Naomi and her daughter

must have the other half. They will have to rely on you when they want to secure half of the

shareholders’ rights. You can negotiate with them and tell them that you want one-third, or more, of the

shares.” Hayley’s gaze was laser-focused as she explained the plan she had carefully

thought out.

Alas, her ultimate goal was to stop the engagement between Elliot and Anastasia from happening.

This was Hayley’s revenge toward Anastasia. There was no way she would allow Anastasia to have

peaceful days.

Hayley knew just how she could use Erica and Naomi to complete her plan. She

would only have to give them a light push, and the mother-daughter duo. would automatically come up

with their way to deal with Francis.

Sure enough, Hayley’s words planted a seed in Alex’s heart, and he was fueled by greed to seize part

of the Tillman Constructions equity.

If something were to happen to Francis, and Naomi revised the will so that she and her daughter had

half of the company’s shares, they surely would know nothing about the handling of the company. And

when that happened, they

would definitely entrust Alex to take care of what they had in hand. He would be able to make a proper

request to have a part of it when the time came.

Just one-third of the mother-daughter’s equity would be worth more than 100 million. It was a sum that

he could never earn, no matter how hard he worked his whole life.

“Alex, I will support you. I will support you no matter what you do. I don’t want anything else. I just want

to stay by your

side,” Hayley exclaimed, effectively melting his heart with her tenderness.

Upon hearing that, Alex put his arms around her. “You are so clever, Hayley. You came up with such a

good solution.”

“Everything I do is for us.” She looked at him with endearing eyes as she murmured, “It is all because I

love you.” Alex immediately felt deeply satisfied at that.

After they spent the whole night being

tangled in each other’s arms under the sheets, Hayley was sure that her plan had been acknowledged

by Alex, and it would soon be carried out.
