Chapter 352 | Can Make Her Disappear


    A malicious and devious look shed in Alex''s eyes at the thought of this. That''s right, | still have a chance of owning Tillman


    Constructions, and that chance lies in Erica! He recalled how Erica had tried to get close to him thest time; he was clever in his


    own right, and he figured that Naomi had pinned her interests in thepany on him. Is that why she got her daughter to seduce


    me?


    In that case, he decided that there was no harm in coborating with Naomi, seeing as they both had interests in Tillman


    Constructions that they could not afford to part with.


    He nced at the picture once more, and when he saw how happily in love Anastasia looked while she was kissing Elliot, he felt


    as if someone had stabbed his heart with a dagger. He wanted to hold Anastasia in his arms as well and im her as his own,


    even if it was only for a fleeting night.


    If he had the chance to fulfill his desires like that, he would be sure to seize it.


    At that moment, his mind was filled with all the lewd things he wanted to do to Anastasia. She was the woman of his dreams, and


    she was the only one he ever wanted.


    Meanwhile, over at Bourgeois, jealousy, and resentment lingered in the air in the office following the news of Anastasia and


    Elliot''s rtionship. Needless to say, a lot of hearts were broken that day.


    Aliona, in particr, did not show up for work, and Alice spent the better part of the morning taking her anger out on her


    assistants and employees. She was furious. She had plotted to her wits’ end to have Anastasia kicked out of Bourgeois, but as


    things were, it wouldn’t make a difference whether she left or not, for she would eventually marry the president of thepany.


    In fact, she would be marrying the president of the business empire that was Presgrave Corporation.


    Anastasia’s status had elevated beyond anything Alice could ever hope to achieve in this lifetime. While she had been toiling


    away to get promoted in Bourgeois, Anastasia had already taken one huge step forward by seducing and snagging Elliot, thus


    emerging the victor in this ongoing rivalry.


    While this was happening, Aliona was huddled up in her apartment. She had been shell-shocked ever since she read the news


    this morning, and she had a feeling that Anastasia had seduced Elliot on purpose at the cafe so that she could set this whole


    love affair in motion, thereby gaining publicity.


    To some extent, Aliona believed this was Anastasia’s way of telling others of her capabilities. She’s trying to rile me up, she


    concluded with gritted teeth. The task that Riley had entrusted her with was now rendered hopeless.


    However, she couldn’t give up so easily. Her entire life revolved around her ns of marrying Elliot so that she could take over


    Presgrave Corporation and present it to her father. This was the best, if not the only way she could ever repay all that Riley had


    done for her. If she couldn’t manage this, then she would have failed him as a daughter.


    She was pulled out of her thoughts by the sound of her phone ringing. She nced at the caller ID before she picked up the call


    and greeted in a defeated voice, “Father.”


    “| just saw the news about Elliot and Anastasia. Who would’ve thought that they would go public with their rtionship?” Riley


    scoffed icily on the other line as a snide edge crept into his tone.


    “I''m sorry for not aplishing the task you entrusted me with, Father. My ipetence has let you down, and | have been a


    waste of your time and energy,” Aliona said, wrapping an arm around herself as if she would fall apart if she didn’t.


    “Aliona, don’t say that. We still have a long journey ahead of us, so pull yourself together! Who''s to say that Anastasia would live


    long enough to walk down the aisle and marry Elliot, right?”


    Upon hearing this, Aliona brightened up instantly as she asked, “Father, what are your ns?”


    “If she’s going to be just as much of a nuisance as herte mother, I''ll just have to dispose of her the same way. | can make her


    disappear.”


    “You n on eradicating her, Father?” Aliona was excited. With Riley getting involved in this, she might still stand a chance to


    aplish the task. More importantly, she was excited that she could get close to Elliot. She secretly found him maic and


    electrifying; she lusted over him and wanted him for herself.


    “That’s right,” Riley affirmed. Then, he added encouragingly, “I’m nning something right now, and I''ll let you know when the


    timees. However, you must pull yourself together and don’t ever falter, got it? You still have to take down Elliot.”


    “Yes, Father. Once you get rid of Anastasia, I''ll be able to take down Elliot for sure,” Aliona said with renewed confidence.


    “That’s what | want to hear. Now, just wait for my word!”N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    As soon as Riley hung up the call, Aliona’s eyes lit up with an almost maniacal gleam. Anastasia was basically announcing her


    death wish the moment she went public with Elliot, and Riley would never let her live long enough to see her wedding day.


    Presently, a hysterical fury descended upon Erica early that morning at Tillman Residence. She never expected that she would


    wake up and scroll through her phone in bed to find pictures of Anastasia and Elliot kissing spread all over the inte.
