Chapter 352


    Chapter 352 I Can Make Her Disappear


    A malicious and devious look shed in Alex’s eyes at the thought of this. That’s right, I still have a


    chance of owning Tillman Constructions, and that chance lies in Erica! He recalled how Erica had tried to


    get close to him thest time; he was clever in his own right, and he figured that Naomi had pinned her


    interests in thepany on him. Is that why she got her daughter to seduce me?


    In that case, he decided that there was no harm in coborating with Naomi, seeing as they both had


    interests in Tillman Constructions that they could not afford to part with.


    He nced at the picture once more, and when he saw how happily in love Anastasia looked while she


    was kissing Elliot, he felt as if someone had stabbed his heart with a dagger. He wanted to hold


    Anastasia in his arms as well and im her as his own, even if it was only for a fleeting night.


    If he had the chance to fulfill his desires like that, he would be sure to seize it.


    At that moment, his mind was filled with all the lewd things he wanted to do to Anastasia. She was the


    woman of his dreams, and she was the only one he ever wanted.


    Meanwhile, over at Bourgeois, jealousy, and resentment lingered in the air in the office following the


    news of Anastasia and Elliot’s rtionship. Needless to say, a lot of hearts were broken that day.


    Aliona, in particr, did not show up for work, and Alice spent the better part of the morning taking her


    anger out on her assistants and employees. She was furious. She had plotted to her wits’ end to have


    Anastasia kicked out of Bourgeois, but as things were, it wouldn’t make a difference whether she left or


    not, for she would eventually marry the president of thepany. In fact, she would be marrying the


    president of the business empire that was Presgrave Corporation.


    Anastasia’s status had elevated beyond anything Alice could ever hope to achieve in this lifetime. While


    she had been toiling away to get promoted in Bourgeois, Anastasia had already taken one huge step


    forward by seducing and snagging Elliot, thus emerging the victor in this ongoing rivalry.


    While this was happening, Aliona was huddled up in her apartment. She had been shell-shocked ever


    since she read the news this morning, and she had a feeling that Anastasia had seduced Elliot on


    purpose at the cafe so that she could set this whole love affair in motion, thereby gaining publicity.


    To some extent, Aliona believed this was Anastasia’s way of telling others of her capabilities. She’s trying


    to rile me up, she concluded with gritted teeth. The task that Riley had entrusted her with was now


    rendered hopeless.


    However, she couldn’t give up so easily. Her entire life revolved around her ns of marrying Elliot so


    that she could take over Presgrave Corporation and present it to her father. This was the best, if not the


    only way she could ever repay all that Riley had done for her. If she couldn’t manage this, then she


    would have failed him as a daughter.


    She was pulled out of her thoughts by the sound of her phone ringing. She nced at the caller ID


    before she picked up the call and greeted in a defeated voice, “Father.”

    “I just saw the news about Elliot and Anastasia. Who would’ve thought that they would go public with


    their rtionship?” Riley scoffed icily on the other line as a snide edge crept into his tone.


    “I’m sorry for not aplishing the task you entrusted me with, Father. My ipetence has let you


    down, and I have been a waste of your time and energy,” Aliona said, wrapping an arm around herself as


    if she would fall apart if she didn’t.


    “Aliona, don’t say that. We still have a long journey ahead of us, so pull yourself together! Who’s to say


    that Anastasia would live long enough to walk down the aisle and marry Elliot, right?”


    Upon hearing this, Aliona brightened up instantly as she asked, “Father, what are your ns?”


    “If she’s going to be just as much of a nuisance as herte mother, I’ll just have to dispose of her the


    same way. I can make her disappear.”


    “You n on eradicating her, Father?” Aliona was excited. With Riley getting involved in this, she might


    still stand a chance to aplish the task. More importantly, she was excited that she could get close to


    Elliot. She secretly found him maic and electrifying; she lusted over him and wanted him for herself.


    “That’s right,” Riley affirmed. Then, he added encouragingly, “I’m nning something right now, and I’ll


    let you know when the timees. However, you must pull yourself together and don’t ever falter, got it?


    You still have to take down Elliot.”


    “Yes, Father. Once you get rid of Anastasia, I’ll be able to take down Elliot for sure,” Aliona said with


    renewed confidence.


    “That’s what I want to hear. Now, just wait for my word!”


    As soon as Riley hung up the call, Aliona’s eyes lit up with an almost maniacal gleam. Anastasia was


    basically announcing her death wish the moment she went public with Elliot, and Riley would never let


    her live long enough to see her wedding day.


    Presently, a hysterical fury descended upon Erica early that morning at Tillman Residence. She never


    expected that she would wake up and scroll through her phone in bed to find pictures of Anastasia and


    Elliot kissing spread all over the inte.
