    All Erica ever thought about was money and living avish,fortable life. In her twenty years of living


    in Tillman Residence, she only ever learned one thing-spending.


    Life would be a living hell for her if she didn’t have money. All credit to Naomi as well for sessfully


    producing an ipetent daughter.

    Lastly, Erica opened Francis’ watch case and took everything in there away without hesitation.


    She decided that she would leave Averna and hide in a different town. For all she knew, Wanda might


    not actually hold her liable.


    Back in the hospital, the doctors managed to revive Wanda. Fortunately, the wound wasn’t on her vital


    organs, or she actually might not have survived.


    Wanda had also woken up in no time, finding Anastasia standing by her bed. Because of Naomi, Wanda


    also snubbed Anastasia in many ways.


    But who’d have thought Anastasia would one day be her savior.


    “Thank you for saving me, Miss Anastasia. I owe you my life.” Wanda. knew she would’ve bled to death if


    she was brought here anyter.


    “Mrs. Garner, please tell me in detail. Why were you hunted, and who were they?”


    With that, Wanda recounted the first time she overheard Erica and her birth father’s conversation, to


    Erica pushing her into the sea, up till what happened earlier in the day.


    The story stupefied Anastasia, for she couldn’t believe Erica disregarded human life and broke so many


    laws just to keep her true parentage under wraps.


    “Mrs. Garner, you swear everything you’ve told me is the truth. Are you hiding anything?” Anastasia


    asked.


    “How dare I? I shall be d”mned to hell if I have lied to you!” Wanda was so agitated that she nearly


    passed out.


    Anastasia sneered to herself when she saw Wanda’s sincere gaze. In that case, you shouldn’t me


    anyone else when you’ve dug your own grave, Erica.


    “Mrs. Garner, do you want to press charges against Erica?” she asked Wanda. “I’ll pay for all your legal


    fees if you do.”


    “B-But I’ve also ckmailed her for a million. I’ll be put behind bars too, won’t 1?” asked Wanda fearfully.


    “You may have indeed ckmailed her, but you didn’t receive a single penny from her. I can have the


    lawyer defend you so that you’ll receive the most lenient sentence. But if you do press charges, Erica


    and her birth father will have to spend at least ten years in prison,” Anastasia exined in detail.


    Wanda was naturally shell-shocked and beyond furious when she had two near death encounters.


    Therefore, she instantly agreed with little consideration. “Okay, Miss Anastasia. We’ll do as you say. I


    want to press charges against her. I want the father and daughter to be put behind bars.”


    “That security guard is also their aplice. No one should be spared.” Wanda said with red-rimmed


    eyes. Poor Mrs. Garner, having to suffer this kind of torment when she’s at this age.


    “I’ll dig into the guard. Don’t you worry.” uttered Anastasia tofort her. “As long as you’re willing to


    press charges, none of them will be able to escape.”


    Anastasia’s hatred for them was naturally. just as intense, Not only had Naomi. brought her daughter


    along with her and taken over her home, but the love that was supposedly hers was also taken away.


    from her, leaving her childhood and adolescent years helpless, alone, and aggrieved. She, too, couldn’t


    let go of this grievance.


    In no time, Wanda made a report to the police, who immediately looked into her incident from that


    morning and also. dered Erica and Patrick wanted.


    Anastasia, on the other hand, stood behind the window of Wanda’s ward and watched her rte her


    mishaps. Erica will be paying a heavy price for her misdeeds, she thought, and all of this was due to her


    mother’s failed parenting.


    This time, it’d be toote for Naomi to regret her actions. That was if she even felt guilty.


    Speaking of which, it had been a long time since Anastasia visited her stepmother. Since she happened


    to be avable, why not let Naomi know of her precious baby girl’s fate and that Anastasia’s father had


    awoken?


    In the detention house, Naomi had been brought to the visiting room, and when she saw the ssy,


    stunning Anastasia through the bars, she lunged forward agitatedly. “Anastasia, Anastasia, are you here


    to bail me out? I’m sorry, Anastasia. I’ve learned my lesson now. Please drop the charges! Please, I beg


    of you.”
