Chapter 542


    By then, she would be able to ge of money from Anastasia.


    Mrs. Garner was such a greedy person that Erica would only put her mind at rest if the former vanished


    completely from the face of the earth. Now that Naomi wasn’t by her side, she had to make all the


    decisions on her own. Moreover, she inherited Naomi’s ruthless side. She had no other way out; she had


    to snuff out the secret. If her parentage were toe to light, she would lose all the glory that belonged


    to her.


    Just then, it urred to her that she hadn’t been intimate with Alex for a long time. The thought made


    her crave hispany tonight, so she dialed his number, wanting to have dinner with him in the evening.


    Alex agreed; he would do his best at ying the part of her husband before the 30 million fell into his


    hands. What gave him the nerve to target the 30 million now was the currentck of oversight on Tillman


    Constructions. Anastasia was putting her heart and soul into saving Francis, who couldn’t regain


    consciousness, whereas Erica knew nothing about business. This was a great opportunity for him.


    Just then, Erica said, “Alex, I’m afraid that it’s gonna be difficult for my mom to be removed from


    suspicion. Anastasia refuses to let her off, whereas my dad’s stitose. So, you’ve got to stay by my


    side and help me, okay?” She dared not look down on Alex anymore now that she had to depend on


    him.


    “I’ll help you through everything, of course. Now that you’ve given me the power to run thepany, I’m


    not gonna let you down,” Alex replied.


    Erica raised her wine ss. “I love you, Alex.”


    “I love you too.” Alex clinked sses with her.


    That night, Alex stayed at Erica’s ce. She grabbed his cell phone and wanted to take a look at its


    messages, only to find that it was locked with a passcode. They were already husband and wife, but Alex


    didn’t give her open ess to his phone.


    “Alex, what’s your phone’s passco wanna check something,’ she sked him.


    Alex stretched out his hand and took his phone from her, asking, “What do you want to check? Let me


    help you.”


    Seeing that the phone was back in his hands, Erica couldn’t help but pout her lips. “Alex, why don’t you


    just tell me the passcode?”


    Alex held her for a moment with a smile. “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you the passcode. It’s just that


    my phone contains a lot of stuff about thepany, so I’m afraid that you might delete them by ident.


    Trust me; you’re the only woman I love the most.”


    Erica was inwardly speechless for a moment. Like hell I’ll believe you, she


    thought. Alex was merely married to her, but the woman he loved the most was Anastasia. It was just


    that he couldn’t get his hands on thetter.


    The night passed, and Alex went to work in the morning


    Early in the morning. Erica ga phone call from Mrs. Garner, who ed her if she had prepared the money.


    When Erica heard this, a hint of a sneer flickered across her eyes. ‘Mrs. Garner, I borrowed the money,


    but my friend asked us to go somewhere to get it. Let me fetch you and take you there.”


    “Just transfer the money into my bank ount!”


    Erica replied, “I don’t have that much money on my debit card. I had my friend 200,000 in cash at a ce


    where you have to go and get the money yourself. I’ll transfer the money on my card into your bank


    ount once we get there.”


    Mrs. Garner wasn’t a highly-educated person, after all. Hearing that the money was ready, she naturally


    believed it. “Alright then,e and fetch me.”


    Erica left home by car and found a well hidden ce. It was a beach she once visited. There was hardly


    a soul on the beach, but it had a very high cliff, making


    it the best ce for her to strike. She


    picked Mrs. Garner up, looking as she dared not offend thetter. “Here, have some water, Mrs. Garner.


    It’ll be quite a journey.”


    Mrs. Garner asked warily, “Why do we have to go so far away?”


    “That friend of mine runs a hotel by the sea. I have to go to her hotel to get the money.”


    Knowing that Erica had many friends, Mrs. Garner didn’t doubt her words.. Thinking that she could enjoy


    the scenery at the seaside, she was in a good mood. “Miss Erica, where is your mom, actually?” she


    asked curiously. Naomi was


    taken away by the police at the hospital, but Erica had never told Mrs. Garner that the former had been


    arrested, so Mrs. Garner was still unaware that Naomi was now in prison.


    “My mom is taking care of my dad
