Hayley suddenly thought of Francis. She doubted Anastasia and Elliot would proceed with the engagement if Francis were to get


    into an ident.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    But what could she do to create an ‘ident? 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 thepany, it was only a matter of time before thepany 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 thepany’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 ss 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. |


    reckon Anastasia might be able


    to take over her father’spany 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 bing more and more unfavorable for his ns against Tillman


    Constructions..


    “Alex. Elliot will be Francis’ son-inw 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 timees?”


    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 ce. This


    could be the sole reason Elliot would sack him from thepany if Tillman Constructions ever fell into


    Elliot''s hands.


    Hayley then continued rather agitatedly,


    “It is about time | got in contact with Naomi for her to start with the n.” 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 ident 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


    wasser-focused as she exined the n she had carefully


    thought out.


    s, 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 toplete her n. She


    would only have to give them a light push, and the mother-daughter duo. would automaticallye up with their way to deal with


    Francis.


    Sure enough, Hayley’s words nted 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 thepany’s


    shares, they surely would know nothing about the handling of thepany. 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, | will support you. | will support you no matter what you do. | don’t want anything else. | just want to stay by your


    side,” Hayley eximed, 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 | do is for us.” She looked at him with endearing eyes as she murmured, “It is all because | 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 n had been acknowledged by Alex, and it would soon


    be carried out.
