Today was Christmas Eve-the day Anastasia and Elliot were supposed to have held their engagement party. However, it was


    canceled due to Francis’ ident and eventutose state. Anastasia had also felt apologetic toward Elliot for this.


    In the morning, Anastasia was to head to thepany for a meeting, while she would spend the night celebrating Christmas Eve


    with Elliot back in the Presgrave Residence.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    When Anastasia arrived in the conference room of Tillman Constructions, she noticed Erica’s resentful res at her. The hatred


    in Erica’s eyes seemed as though it coulde bursting out, as she did not even bother to inform Erica when Naomi had been


    taken down to the station. Anastasia then nced over to the man beside Erica. Alex only met Anastasia’s eyes one time before


    he looked away, as he was afraid to make any further eye contact with her.


    The participants of the meeting were all key members of Tillman Constructions.


    When all the managers of their respective departments were present, Erica stood up and led the meeting. “My mother could not


    attend due to certain matters. Also, | would like to announce that Alex and | have gotten our marriage certificate. Hence, from


    now on, as my husband and my father’s son-inw, he will be in charge of the affairs of Tillman Constructions instead of my


    mother and me.”


    Everyone present was shocked, yet some seemed to have anticipated such development, as they had seen the ambitions in


    Alex’s eyes. Thus, it was not surprising for them to see Alex finally obtaining the position he always pined for. On the other hand,


    Anastasia was slightly shocked, as she had not expected Naomi to make her move so quickly by letting Alex rece her as


    president of thepany and be the pir of support for Erica.


    “Let''s have President Hunter give a few words” Erica took her seat as she proudly turned her attention toward Alex.


    With his ambitions concealed, Alex stood


    up and feigned a slightly modest expression before addressing the room. “Right now, there is no one in charge. That is why Erica


    and | have decided to get married this early for me to have a proper cause to manage thepany. Everyone, please have faith


    in my capabilities. | will certainly take good care of Tillman Constructions.”


    Since Alex still had several supporters in thepany, they immediately voiced their opinions and expressed their trust in him,


    supporting him for the presidency of thepany. Even the others that did not think highly of Alex had to stick by him, as they


    believed Alex would make things difficult for them in thepany in the future if they did otherwise.


    At the moment, all Anastasia could do was watch Alex be the president of thepany and how quickly he gained


    everyone’s trust.


    “Anastasia, please trust me. | will certainly not let your father down,” Alex said with his eyes on Anastasia with the intent to gain


    her trust.


    However, there was no chance for


    Anastasia to trust him, as she knew Alex


    was involved in her father’sa.


    Furthermore, considering that Alex was also in charge of the finance department, which was the most important department in


    thepany, it was clear that Alex held too much power in his hand. Given that Erica knew next to nothing about thepany’s


    operation. it was clear as day that Alex would be fully in control of thepany. No one would be able to stop Alex from doing


    anything he wanted at that point.


    “Since thepany is short-staffed right now, I’ve decided to be a member of thepany. Mr. Hunter, since you''ll be the


    president of thepany, then I''ll join the finance department to gain some experience. Surely you have no qualms


    with that arrangement? Anastasia would not stand by and watch her father’spany being taken over by an outsider.


    “Anastasia, it seems you still don’t trust me!” Alex wore a sad expression.


    Erica couldn''t help but refuse. “Anastasia Tillman, you''re not a finance major, so why are you trying to join the finance


    department? Do you not trust my husband?”


    “What if | say | don’t?” Anastasia sneered, “Since | hold 30 percent of thepany’s shares, | have the right to enter any


    department of thepany. Even if | want to be the manager of the finance department, you have no right to interfere with my


    decision


    Noticing the direction the argument was going, Alex immediately interfered. “Anastasia, Erica is right. You have no experience in


    finance, but if you wish to be part of the management, the nning department iscking a manager or two.”


    “| want to be a finance manager,” Anastasia said forcefully. “Otherwise, | will not agree with Mr. Hunter bing the president of


    thepany.”


    “You” Erica choked.


    “Then how about this, I''ll be the president instead, and Mr. Hunter can continue his position as the finance manager?’ Dressed in


    a ck sweater and ck trench coat, Anastasia exuded an indescribable dominance as she asked with her eyebrows raised.
