Chapter 250 Spilling the Secret
Naomi brought her daughter along and followed Alex out, leaving the ward in a solemn and quiet
atmosphere. Meanwhile, Anastasia poured a glass of water for Francis before sitting down. He then
said, “Anastasia, I actually agree with Naomi’s suggestion. I hope you can ask Young Master Elliot to
save my company.”
Upon hearing that, Anastasia looked up at him in surprise. “How can we ask him for help, Dad? This is
a family matter.”
“I know how difficult it is to ask for help, but I’m truly desperate this time. There is nothing else I can do.
If I can’t get any assistance, I will have to give up my company to someone else.” After saying that,
Francis shuddered and started coughing.
“Calm down, Dad. We’ll find a way,” Anastasia reassured him as she patted his back.
Naomi, who just left the hospital lobby, felt like she had left something behind. When she looked down
and realized that her bag wasn’t with her, she turned to Erica and Alex. “I left my bag in the ward, so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI’m going back to get it. Can you guys wait for me at the entrance?” With that said, she turned around
and walked into the elevator.
Erica glanced at Alex and ordered, “I’m thirsty. Get me a bottle of water!”
Naturally, Alex treated every member of the Tillman Family politely since he had his own plans.
When Naomi arrived at the door of the ward, she realized that the door was left ajar. Just as she was
about to push the door open and enter the ward, she heard Francis saying, “Anastasia, I have
something to tell you. I don’t wish to lose this company because I hope that it will be passed down to
Jared in the future. He will be my successor.”
As Naomi stood outside the ward, her eyes widened in disbelief. It was her first time hearing about
Francis’ thoughts on the company’s successor. However, she never expected that her husband would
pass down such a huge company to Anastasia’s son, who was barely a few years old!
It was also Anastasia’s first time hearing about her father’s thoughts, so she was completely
dumbfounded. “What are you talking about, Dad? Isn’t Jared too young? He’s only four years old! How
do you expect him to take over your business?!”
Francis then explained with a serious expression, “Don’t worry about that. I’ve already made all the
necessary plans. If anything happens to me, you will take over my business. I know you have no idea
about the industry, so that’s why I trained Alex. He might just be an outsider, but he has all my trust. I
will be your matchmaker, and once you guys get married, it will be much more convenient for him to
help you manage the company together.”
Anastasia was instantly speechless. What was her father thinking about? Why would he push her and
Alex to be together?
“That doesn’t sound appropriate,” said Anastasia as she rejected his idea.
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. I don’t have a biological son, but I have you as an excellent
daughter. Jared is also part of the family, so he shall be the most qualified successor. You know how
much I adore him, after all.” Indeed, Francis had always loved this grandson of his.
“You’re still young, Dad. Let’s not think too far ahead. We should think of a way to save the company
first!”
“You’re right, but there is only one way to save the company, and that is to seek Elliot’s help. I know it
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmight be hard for you to ask him, so let me do it instead. Your mother, who is watching us from heaven,
will definitely agree with me.” Francis decided to throw his pride away.
Anastasia was surprised to hear that, so she blurted, “Don’t beg him, Dad.”
“Why not?” Francis looked at her surprised expression and questioned.
Anastasia felt her face heating up all of a sudden before she uttered reluctantly, “Anyhow, we shouldn’t
beg him. He isn’t obliged to help us. Even if Mom saved him back then, he doesn’t owe us anything. It
was Mom’s responsibility to save him.”
“That’s right, but your mother sacrificed her own life to save him!” Francis felt that it was unfair. Back
then, he was aggrieved that he lost his wife. His daughter had also lost her mother, and it was simply
heartbreaking.
“To be honest, Elliot has helped us a lot without your knowledge, Dad. Did you think your company
managed to grow to such a scale by mere luck? No, Elliot’s connections have been helping you grow
your small company to a listed one.” Anastasia had no choice but to spill the secret.
