Chapter 520
Erica slept so soundly that she couldn’t hear her mother waking her up. After she woke up, she went
downstairs to find the breakfast the maids had prepared for her. Just as she was about toin about
the food and herck of appetite for it. her phone rang. Taking a nce at the caller ID, she then
answered her phone. “Hello?”
“Miss Erica Tillman, your mother has been arrested for the attempted murder of your father, Francis
Tillman. I need you to pack two sets of clothes and bring them along with you down the station.”
“What?” To her dismay, Erica dropped the spoon in her hand. After she confirmed that her mother was
currently in the police station, she was so frightened that tears started rolling down her cheeks. She
immediately dialed Alex’s number and told him about what had befallen her mother.
“Erica, listen to me. When you meet your mother, you must make sure that she admits to everything and
does not. implicate us in this.” Alex gave a stern warning from the other end of the line.
Erica was bitterly disappointed, as Alex nned to forsake her mother at a time like this, wanting for her
mother to bear the entire responsibility alone.
“Erica, if we are all implicated in this. everything your father has will fall into Anastasia’s hand. And us?
We would all be going to jail. Do you understand?” Alex warned once more.
Holding back her grief, Erica replied, “Okay, I’ll beg my mother to do so.”
When Erica arrived at the station, she noticed her mother wasn’t there. Just as she was about to call
Alex, her phone rang instead. “Hello!”

“Is this Erica Tillman? Your mother has fainted in the detention center. Pleasee over to the General
Hospital.”
“Alright. I’lle over right now.” Erica hadn’t expected her mother would faint. so she hurried over to
the hospital.
At the entrance of the hospital, there were two police officers standing guard. Erica then asked them in a
hurry, “How is my mother? Let me see my mother.”
Just then, the doctor came out and reported, “The patient just woke up. She fainted due to hypoglycemia
and can be discharged after an infusion treatment.”
Erica pushed the doctor to the side and immediately entered the ward. Noticing her daughter, Naomi
pulled Erica close to her. “Erica, I can’t look after you anymore. Your birth certificate is in my closet. Hurry
up and take it to get a marriage certificate with Alex! Let Alex look after you from now on.”
“Mom, what happened? Why were you arrested?!”
“It was all Anastasia’s n. That wretch deliberately set me up.” At the station.
Naomi had thought everything through and came to the conclusion that it was all a trap set by Anastasia,
as it was simply not possible for Francis to regain consciousness. However, Anastasia had acted out a
y to nt seeds of fear inside Naomi.
“Lowell, stand up! It’s time for the transfer.”
“Erica, listen to me. You need to hurry up and get the certificate with Alex. Take over thepany
together with him.”
“What about you, Mom?”
“Don’t worry! Your mother will make sure the rest of you are fine.” Naomi showed her mother’s love at
such a time, She wanted her daughter to get the shares of Tillman Constructions so that her daughter
would have it easy for the rest of her life.
Erica understood that her mother was nning to bear all the responsibilities alone to ensure both she
and Alex would be found innocent in this matter. “Mom, I’ll definitely get you out of there.” She followed
along as Naomi was being marched away. Looking at her mother getting into the police car, she felt pain
and regret, as her mother was her only blood rtive left in this world. “Anastasia Tillman, I will never
forgive you for this. I’lle after you even at the cost of my life!” Her eyes were furious with anger, she
could not wait to end Anastasia’s life.
Back in her car, Erica called Alex and told him about the matter of the marriage certificate. Alex, on the
other hand, had always nned to have a proper status to manage Tillman Constructions. The title of the
son-inw of the current president was the best position he could be in.. Considering that he had
experience in finance, he would only need to put in some effort, for now, to move the funds of the
company, as it would notst any longer due to the absence of Francis. At the end of it all, Tillman
Constructions would just be an empty shell that was on the brink of bankruptcy.
The next morning, Anastasia received a call from one of the managers in Tillman Constructions. They
asked for her toe to thepany at ten in the morning, as there was going to be an important
meeting. Since Anastasia had received such a call, she would definitely not miss attending the meeting.
