    Chapter 256 A Meal With Anastasia


    “We have to find a way to grab Dad’spany, Mom! We can’t let Anastasia and her son have


    everything. Dad has already been so cruel to us, so we shouldn’t worry about him anymore.” Erica


    wanted her father’spany desperately because no other asset wasparable to a listedpany


    worth several billion.


    Instantly, there was a sh of ruthlessness in Naomi’s eyes. “You’re right, Erica! Your father is too harsh


    on us. He doesn’t even care about us! You must inherit thepany. Will you take my advice, Erica?”


    “Of course, I will! I will do whatever you ask me to.” Erica grew up under her mother’s protection, so she


    believed that everything her mother did was for her own good.


    “Then, seduce Alex and make him stand in line with us. He will be of big help to us when we decide to


    take over your father’spany.”


    “What?!” Erica grunted in disdain. “Alex Hunter? He’s just an insignificant finance manager under Dad’s


    company.”


    “But he is the sessor of thepany chosen by your father and Anastasia will depend on him in the


    future. Your dad has already been so cruel to us, so he can’t me us for being unloyal to him one day.


    Alex will be really useful to us in the future.” Naomi looked at her daughter calmly, already having a rough


    n in her mind.


    “Hmph! He’s just a sore loser. Getting him to fall head over heels for me is easy-peasy. It’s a blessing for


    him to have my admiration.” Though Erica was forced by her mother to seduce Alex, she despised his


    background from the bottom of her heart.

    Having known someone like Elliot, who was high-up and elegant, there was no room for ordinary men in


    Erica’s eyes. Even if she couldn’t marry Elliot, she still had to marry into a wealthy family.


    “Isn’t Dad’spany going to be acquired, Mom? What if Dad no longer has hispany?” Erica


    inquired worriedly.


    “What’s the hurry? The Presgrave Family is still indebted to Anastasia’s mother, so they definitely won’t


    sit back and do nothing. Once Anastasia asks them, the Presgraves will definitely lend a hand.” Naomi


    was certain that Anastasia would ask for Elliot’s help.


    “Anastasia wouldn’t be so delusional to think that she can marry Elliot, right?” Erica inquired with


    jealousy.


    A worried Naomi thought that no matter what, the Presgraves would never ept a woman with a child.


    “I don’t think the Presgraves will take her in. They are just nice to her because they are repaying her


    mother’s kindness. Besides, why would they want a woman with a child born out of wedlock?”


    “That’s true. Anastasia isn’t even worthy of such a handsome and sophisticated man like Elliot.” Erica


    also thought that the reason why Elliot was nice to Anastasia was to repay her kindness and that he


    would certainly marry another woman in the future.


    In the early morning, Anastasia woke up, but she didn’t catch a good night’s sleep. After having


    breakfast, she brought Jared to the hospital to visit her father.


    When Francis saw his grandson, he was delighted and his mood had lightened so much that he was


    able to be discharged from the hospital by noon.


    Anastasia came out to the corridor, not wanting to interrupt the grandfather-and-grandson moment. Just


    then, Alex walked over with some fruits in his hands. “Miss Tillman, I heard that you sought help from


    President Presgrave. President Tillman looks more rxed now.”


    Anastasia nodded, but her heart was heavy since asking for help came with a lot of pressure.


    Looking at her, Alex could feel a strong sense of admiration as he had fallen in love with Anastasia at


    first sight. No word could describe how much he liked her or loved her.


    At that moment, Anastasia was wearing a ruffled blouse paired with denim jeans. She looked casual yet


    stylish and her long hair was let down over her shoulders as it entuated her delicate face. All in all,


    she looked extremely attractive.


    “Miss Tillman, let’s have lunch together. I have already booked a restaurant to celebrate President


    Tillman’s discharge.”


    “Okay, sure!” Anastasia nodded.


    Hearing that, Alex was over the moon. He could finally sit down for a meal and have a proper


    conversation with her. Taking out a bottle of water from his bag, he handed it to Anastasia, offering,


    “Here, drink some water.”
