Chapter 465 She Is Doing It on Purpose!


    The dinner was a feast. For someone as greedy for wealth and power as Naomi was, there was no way she would dare to


    underserve a man like Elliot.


    “Mommy, | want some shrimp,” Jared said as he pointed to a shrimp dish.


    Hearing that, Anastasia washed her hand before she peeled some shrimps for her son. As she continued to get rid of the shell,


    Elliot suddenly brought his bowl over for Anastasia to ce a peeled shrimp into his bowl. He started to happily munch into it


    right after.


    Then, she continued to peel a few more for him. Naomi started to feel anxious as she looked at Anastasia seemingly assuming


    the role of Elliot’s wife. Anastasia has got aplete hold on Elliot, she thought. This can be dangerous for Erica and I.


    As much as Erica was attracted to Elliot''s gentle and handsome appearance, she loathed Anastasia for her deliberate show of


    affection.


    It was already past 8.00PM by the time they finished dinner, which also meant that it was time for Elliot to take Anastasia and


    Jared back to their own home.


    Francis went and saw them off at the door as he reminded them to drive slowly. Erica and Naomi had alsoe out to send their


    guests off.


    After watching the impressive sedan leave, Francis said to the mother and daughter, “I will be back after a walk.”


    The instant he left, Erica finally exploded in irritation. “Mom! Just look at how smug Anastasia was. She clearly was showing off


    their rtionship to us on purpose.”


    “Anastasia was giving us a warning.” Naomi had held in a lot of rage as well. “She is trying to make us think that she isn’t an


    easy opponent, now that she has Elliot backing her up.”


    Erica started to grind her teeth as she growled, “Mom, we cannot be afraid of her.”


    Her phone began to ring right at this moment. After taking a look at it, she angrily epted the call. “Hey, Alex. Where have you


    been these 2 days? Why didn’t you answer my call or reply to my messages?”


    m sorry, Erica. I''ve been busy dealing with thepany’s inventory. | didn’t mean to not reply. | called you to tell you


    something.”


    “What is it?” she asked.


    “| saw your dad write a will. | will send it to you now, and you can have it sent to your mom. Don’t ever let your dad find out that


    this photo was secretly taken. | will definitely lose my job otherwise.”


    When she heard that, Erica immediately urged him to send the photo over. She couldn''t wait to know the contents of the will that


    her father was preparing.


    “Alright, | will send it over now.” Alex then hung up the phone.


    It only took a few seconds before Erica received three photos of the will via message. She quickly dragged her mother back to


    the living room and said, “Mom, Alex secretly took photos of Dad’s will. Come take a look.”


    They proceeded to read it word by word, and by the time they were done, their faces had turned pale from their anger.


    Just like they had expected, Francis didn’t leave even a small part of thepany to them.


    “F*ck you, Francis!” Naomi hissed under her breath.


    Erica was starting to panic as well. “What are we going to do, Mom? Dad has no intentions to give us thepany at all. It is all


    going to Anastasia.”


    “Calm down, Erica. | won’t let you live empty-handed. It seems like your Dad has never thought of people important to him, huh?”


    She scoffed. “I finally see his true colors.” All those years Naomi had been Francis’ wife suddenly seemed like nothing but a


    waste of time.


    “What are we going to do, Mom?”


    “Alex must be on our side since he is helping us. It is only a will. We can just change the contents.” A wicked look shed across


    Naomi''s face.


    Francis’ wealth andpany were the only reasons why she was married to him in the first ce. It would be a forever thorn in


    her heart if she ended up not getting anything at all.


    Naomi had a secret that she could never tell anyone, and it was exactly because of how dangerous the secret was that she


    needed to get Francis’ property to make sure that she and her daughter were set for life.


    Anastasia felt at ease on the way back to Elliot’s vi as they listened to songs while she enjoyed the bustling night view of the


    city outside the car window, whereas little Jared was quietly ying his Rubik''s Cube under the dim lights in the car. Wealth and


    power were the least of her priority—all she prayed for was peace and calm in her life.


    The car drove straight into thepound of the vi when they reached home. As soon as they arrived at the parking lot,


    Anastasia caught sight of a truck parked there in the dark. She couldn''t tell what was in the back of the car.


    Amagical scene suddenly appeared at this exact moment. The second a light suddenly lit up behind the truck, she could see a


    huge ss case decorated with balloons and flowers, and in it was a white sports car quietly parked there. It was an utterly


    romantic and luxurious sight to behold.
