Chapter 554
“They’re my dad’s clients. Shouldn’t I be treating them well?” Anastasia was unsure of what she should do.
“There’s no need for that since all of them are more than happy to continue working with your father’s company.”
Elliot curled his lips into a smile.
Anastasia clearly sensed the arrogance in his tone. After all, this man was the reason these people were here to
seek a collaboration with Tillman Constructions.
Currently, the conference room was filled to the brim with all these people. As Anastasia sat in the foremost seat
with Elliot by her side, each of the participants came up to her and introduced themselves briefly before they
proceeded to discuss with the employees regarding their respective projects, such as the supply of materials and
conditions for working together in the future.
Without lifting a finger, Anastasia watched the company come back to life. It was all thanks to Elliot that the
company that was on the brink of bankruptcy was so full of vitality right now.
“Miss Tillman, are you satisfied with my pricing? You’d be pleased to know this is the highest price we’ve ever

Since the man had already said this much, Anastasia nodded with a faint smile. “I am very satisfied.”
“Miss Tillman, I still have several properties under construction. I’ll be using your company for the building
materials.”
“Miss Tillman, we will keep a close eye on supplying Tillman Constructions. As long as your company is in urgent
need of raw materials, we will be the first to send them.”
Anastasia was all smiles as she listened to all these prominent figures. The managers of Tillman Constructions were
no exception, as their smiles were even wider than that of Anastasia’s. They knew the company was not only saved
but would continue to grow even bigger from now on.
“I’ll leave the rest to you all.” Elliot had been patient in listening to all of them before he stood up and took
Anastasia’s hand. “Let’s go take a break.”
Anastasia was speechless at what Elliot suggested, as she felt it was inappropriate for her to take a break when the
company was having such an important meeting. Yet, the man continued to drag her out of the conference room
without an explanation. “I am the president here, so I should be staying with them inside,” she said begrudgingly.
“We can’t waste time here, as we still have a lot to do,” Elliot replied.
When Anastasia saw they were heading to the finance department, she immediately realized it was time to recover
the money Alex had embezzled from the company.
Although there were still Alex’s men in the department, each and every one of them wore a stern expression at the
moment and dared not even take a deep breath. “Miss Tillman, do you have business with us?”
“Alex had made a transfer of 30 million. I want to see the records of that transfer.”
One of the men’s eyes lit up; that man was Alex’s only accomplice here. Alex would not let everyone know about
the transfer with a sum that huge. Thus, he was the sole accomplice,
“You there, come here.” For someone as astute as Elliot, he managed to identify the accomplice with just one look.
“President Presgrave… Can I help you?”
“If you sort out all the evidence of Alex’s embezzlement, I will spare you for your wrongdoings,” Elliot said, his tone
cold and hostile.
The employee in question immediately had his face grow white in fear. “President Hunter did indeed ask me to
make a false account, but that money… that money is already in an overseas account and is completely
untraceable. It’s impossible to get that money back.”
“I just need you to get the evidence ready.” Saying that, Elliot patted Anastasia on her shoulder. “I’ll go make a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmphone call.” He then left after Anastasia nodded in acknowledgment…
After Elliot left, Alex’s accomplice immediately came over to Anastasia with his fear clear as day. “Miss Tillman, I’m
sorry. President Hunter forced me to do this. I had to do it for my family…”
“How much did you take?” Anastasia did not believe the man in front of her was innocent.
“I… only took a million…” The man hung his head sheepishly. “I’ll return the money to the company and sort out the
evidence at once. So, Miss Tillman, please spare me. Don’t send me to
jail.”
“That will depend on whether your atonement is good enough. Should you still have something you’re not telling us,
I guarantee you will be going down with Alex,” said Anastasia resoundingly with her eyes clear and cold.

Overwhelmed with fear and awe, the employee hurriedly said, “Miss Tillman, I am also a coward by nature, which is
why I’ve recorded the conversation between me and President Hunter. I’ll send the recording to you along with the
evidence of his embezzlement.”
