Chapter 521


    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.

    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, I would like to announce that Alex and


    I 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 I have decided to get married this


    early for me to have a proper cause to manage thepany. Everyone, please have faith in my


    capabilities. I 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. I 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 I say I don’t?” Anastasia sneered, “Since I hold 30 percent of thepany’s shares, I have the


    right to enter any department of thepany. Even if I 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.”


    “I want to be a finance manager,” Anastasia said forcefully. “Otherwise, I 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.
