With her heart wretched. Erica glared at Alex’s indifferent expression and noticed just how intense the
feeling of hatred could be, so much so that she wanted to end his life right at this very spot.
Smugly, Alex raised the iPad in his hand. “Don’t upset me. I’ll see you tomorrow at the county clerk’s
office to end this marriage.”
Looking at the man’s shadow gradually vanishing from sight. Erica covered her face and bawled her
eyes out, as she hadn’t the slightest idea of what to do now. The pressure of having the loss making
Tillman Constructions in her hands was just like having a mountain coming down on her. She never
knew just how miserable it would be to hold the shares of this company. If the company went bankrupt,
she would never be able to pay off the astronomical. debts even if she had several lifetimes.
However, armid her despair, Erica thought of someone who could get her out of this mess-Anastasia.
Right now, only Anastasia was capable enough to salvage
Tillman Constructions from the brink of bankruptcy. Hence, she left her house with her bag in hand and
went straight to the hospital.
In the hospital, Anastasia had just left the specialist’s office in a good mood, as her father’s recovery
was above her expectations. Furthermore, the doctor had assured her that it was only a matter of time
before her father would regain consciousness now. She was relieved after hearing the doctor’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdiagnosis, as her father’s illness had been a great source of distress for her all this while.
“Miss…. wait! You have to check in!” one of the nurses at the nurses station shouted.
As Erica had coincidentally bumped into Anastasia, she rushed over to Anastasia without caring to
register herself for a visit. “Anastasia, you have to help me!”
“What is it?” Anastasia replied. indifferently.
“You have to save Dad’s company! Alex wants to divorce me. He doesn’t care about the company
anymore. Right now,
the company is losing millions as days go
by. Please, you have to save the company.
I don’t want to see it go bankrupt.” Erica’s
eyes grew red from anxiety.
However, Anastasia sneered, “What you
want is to not be saddled with debts.”
Taken aback, Erica bit her lip and said,
“Do you really have the heart to watch as
our dad’s company goes bankrupt?”
“I’ve been counting the days for the company to go bankrupt so that those insatiable hyenas can have
a taste of being in huge debt, said Anastasia while glaring at Erica.
Erica didn’t have the guts to look
Anastasia in the eyes. “Then, what would
it take for you to save the company?”
“Make me the sole shareholder by transferring all of your shares to me. Only then will I consider your
request.” Anastasia put forward her condition.
“What?” Erica’s face grew white with anger. “You want all of my shares in the company? Anastasia
Tillman, don’t you
think you’re being too greedy? The most I can give up is 20 percent.”
“Then you can stop begging me and forget about it. By my estimation, the company would probably last
for another three months before the bank comes in to liquidate the assets. With the number of shares
you hold, you are sure to be millions in debt. You can spend the rest of your life paying off the debt
then,” Anastasia sneered.
Erica’s eyes lit with horror upon Anastasia’s words.
“I’ll give you five minutes to think about this. I’ll be waiting in the conference room for your decision.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSaying that, Anastasia left for the conference room. Erica sat on a nearby chair, looking extremely pale
and haggard, as the company was now a liability that she absolutely needed to wash her hands off.
However, she couldn’t get over the fact of Anastasia demanding her to give up all of her shares in the
company. After seconds passed, she gulped and closed her eyes before she left for the conference
room with her fists clenched and the intention to compromise.
Anastasia was reading the news on her phone when Erica took a seat opposite her. “I can give up all of
my shares to you, but you have to promise me that you’ll pay me 50 million when the company starts
making a profit again.” Erica was still unwilling to give up.
“With how hard the company is struggling financially right now, you still want to be paid off?” Anastasia
did not agree to Erica’s demand.
“10 million.” Erica negotiated.
“Forget it.”
“Anastasia Tillman, I am also a daughter of Francis Tillman. I’ll be giving up all my shares to you, yet
you won’t even give me 10 million?” Erica said angrily.
“Five million in five installments, but only if the company starts making a profit.” Anastasia countered
Erica’s offer.
