NovelEnglishChapter 256 A Meal With Anastasia “We have to find a way to grab Dad's company, 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's company desperately because no other asset was comparable to a listed company worth several billion.
Instantly, there was a flash 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 the company. Will you take my advice, Erica?” “Of course, | will! | 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’s company.” “What?!” Erica grunted in disdain. “Alex Hunter? He's just an insignificant finance manager under Dad's company.” “But he is the successor of the company 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 blame 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 plan in her mind.

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's company going to be acquired, Mom? What if Dad no longer has his company?” 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 accept 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.

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, | heard that you sought help from President Presgrave. President Tillman looks more relaxed 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 accentuated her delicate face. All in all, she looked extremely attractive.
“Miss Tillman, let's have lunch together. | 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.” mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLII0fiflO& 1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWL1i10fif10&1 mmMwWLIiI0fiflO&1
