Chapter 553 Reluctant
After tolerating Anastasia time after time, Erica thought her hatred of Anastasia only grew deeper, as she felt it was
Anastasia who had forced her into this situation. However, she was left with no other choice but to give up the
company to Anastasia. “Fine! I’ll give up all of my shares to you for five million.” Erica caved to Anastasia’s offer,
but quickly added one more demand of her own. “Release my mother as well.”
“You can give up on those thoughts. She needs to pay for what she did.” Anastasia refused to budge.
Tears of anger welled in Erica’s eyes. “She’s my mother.”
“You reap what you sow. With how much karma she has accumulated, she needs to pay the price of her actions,”
Anastasia replied indifferently.
At Anastasia’s words, Erica felt her heart jerked sharply, her hands trembling slightly, as the thought of Mrs. Garner
surfaced in her mind. No, I’ve done nothing wrong. She tried to calm herself by convincing herself that there would

She did not want to have anything to do with Tillman Constructions a second longer.
“Good.” Anastasia smiled with relief in her eyes. Ultimately, she did not wish for her father’s company to go
bankrupt, as it was her father’s life’s work.
Anastasia drove herself to Tillman Constructions with a black SUV following behind her. Inside the black SUV were
the bodyguards Elliot had assigned for her protection.
Inside Francis’ office, Erica eagerly took out the contract for her shares and the equity transfer contract. After she
finished signing, Anastasia also signed the transfer contract and stamped it with her fingerprint. Looking at the
signed contract, Erica felt slightly reluctant but relieved at the same time, as she no longer needed to worry about
falling into debt. “Anastasia, what are you going to do now?” Erica asked deliberately out of curiosity about how her
sister was going to reverse the company’s situation.
Naturally, Anastasia did not have the capability to do so. However, as luck would have it, she had someone backing
her, someone amazing. “I have my ways regarding that. You can leave now,” Anastasia said.
Erica herself did not wish to stay in the company any longer as well. Before she left the company, she dropped by
the finance department but could not find Oscar there. Regardless, even if she did meet Oscar here, all she could
do was swallow her pain alone.
After Anastasia watched Erica’s car leaving the company from the French window, she dialed Elliot’s number.
“Have you gone to Tillman Constructions?” Elliot asked.
“Yeah, Erica has given up all of her shares to me.”
“They couldn’t even handle this much?” Elliot asked rhetorically before he continued, “Wait for me. I’ll come over
right now.” This sentence of his was filled with an indescribable strength that
warmed Anastasia’s heart. With Elliot around, she wouldn’t need to worry about the company’s future at all.
Thirty minutes later, two armored SUVs opened up the way to the front entrance of Tillman Constructions. The
domineering black Rolls-Royce Phantom was the first in line with seven to eighi luxury cars following behind. Just like
this, the company’s car park was filled to the brim. The employees were shocked as they watched all these vehicles
from the various windows of the building. All of them started speculating just what kind of big shot had come and

One of the bodyguards opened the door of the black car to reveal Elliot getting out of the car. He was dressed to
the pines, as he gave off a powerful presence with his black formal wear. As though following his lead, a group of
people also came down from the luxury cars. They all gave a look of respect toward Ellion before following him into
Tillman Constructions. It was a majestic sight to behold the group of them march with gusto behind Elliot.
Anastasia knew Elliot arrived but did not know he had brought along so many guests. Just then, Elliot entered her
office. Puzzled, she looked at him. “Who are those people?”
“They’re all your father’s former clients. They came to have a meeting with you.”
Anastasia blinked dumbfoundedly before feeling the warmth in her heart gradually coming to the surface. Looks
like he’s already planning to resume the company’s projects.
Then, Elliot took her hand in his. “Let’s go and listen to what they have to say.”
