Chapter 513


    Dressed in a ck coat with her hair flying in the cold breeze, Anastasia stepped out of the car with a


    lawyer following right behind. Her beautiful face was locked in a serene expression as she walked


    through the path sectioned off by her bodyguards.


    The air around her echoed with a barrage of questions from the journalists.

    “Miss Anastasia, did you really kidnap youratose father to steal the right to inherit?”


    “Miss Anastasia, do you have some ulterior motive for secretly transferring your father into a private


    hospital for treatment?”


    “Anastasia Tillman, do you even know what love is? Aren’t you afraid of karma?”


    Despite the near-interrogation she was being subjected to, Anastasia merely nced at the


    surrounding journalists


    before striding into the building doors where the security guards kept the pack of journalists at bay.


    Her proud figure stood out among her bodyguards, just like how a red rose would catch the eye of


    those who saw it.


    As the photographers swiftly snapped photos of her, they all sighed at how extraordinarily beautiful she


    was.


    When she entered the meeting room, Naomi and Erica were already waiting inside with two other


    shareholders. They had both been panicking since the moment they heard of Francis’ copse. After


    all, he had been leading thepany this entire time. Now that he was unconscious, who was going to


    lead Tillman Constructions?


    Admiration shed through Alex’s eyes when he nced over at Anastasia. No matter when or where


    he would always be irresistibly attracted to her.


    Anastasia pulled up a chair for herself


    and sat down. The middle-agedwyer following her sat down at the table as well.


    “This is a private meeting, Anastasia. Why is there an outsider here?” Naomi barked in irritation.


    “As mywyer, he has the right to be in the room,” Anastasia coldly replied.


    “All right,dies. We are all here now, so let us discuss the future of thepany. The reason why we


    are here, after all,” solemnly said Jordan Tillman, one of the shareholders.


    “Yeah! We are all family, so let us y nice,” said the other shareholder in a cating manner.


    “We are all distressed about what happened to President Tillman, but thepany cannot be left


    headless. After all, we have a few hundred employees waiting on our orders. Hence, we must decide


    on the next person who will take charge of thepany,” said Alex.


    “Yes, what happened to Francis is sad, but thepany cannot go ignored.” Jordan then turned to


    Alex and said, “Mr. Hunter, you are President Tillman’s most trusted man and the second-inmand.


    What do you think we should do next?”


    “Well, I’m just an employee who doesn’t have any say in thepany.” Alex then turned to Naomi.


    “Mrs. Tillman, what do you think?”


    Naomi cleared her throat and replied, “I have asked my husband’swyer for an early reading of


    Francis’ will. Let us listen to it before we decide on the future leader of thepany.”


    When Anastasia saw just how calm and prepared Naomi was, it was obvious to her that her father’s


    will had been tampered with.


    “I agree with my mother’s suggestion,” Erica said, raising her hand.


    “Very well,” said Francis’wyer, Colin, as he stood up. “As per Francis Tillman’s wishes, I have been


    entrusted with his will. By request from Mrs. Tillman, I will now read out his will.”


    He then pulled out a few pieces of paper from his document holder solemnly and ceremoniously and


    began reading aloud from it.


    Anastasia silently listened as all of her father’s ounts, assets, and investments were to be inherited


    by Erica and Naomi. Then, Colin arrived at the section on thepany shares.


    “Thepany shares currently held by Francis Tillman will be split into three portions; the first lot


    containing 40% of his shares would be inherited by Naomi Lowell, the second lot containing 30% of his


    shares would be inherited by Anastasia Tillman, and the third lot containing 30% of his shares would be


    inherited by Erica Tillman.”


    Under the table, Anastasia’s hands clenched into fists. So, this was Naomi’s aim.


    With the tampered will. Naomi and Erica would own a total of 70% of Francis’pany shares. While


    the division of shares inherited may seem logical and fair to an outsider, she knew this could not be her


    father’s true will. After all, he had never even thought of splitting hispany up.
