NovelEnglishErica picked up her bag and told Alex, “You think that I'll be doomed, right? I'll tell you this. | won't be saddled with debts.” “What are you trying to say?” “I've passed all my shares to Anastasia. So, Tillman Constructions is hers now,” she announced proudly. “I still have my way out.” “What?” Alex's expression instantly changed after he heard her. He went up to Erica, stopped her from leaving, and asked, “Anastasia took over Tillman Constructions? When was that?” “This morning.” Instantly, he turned to his room and grabbed his phone, dialing a number.
All of a sudden, a furious Hayley held Erica's arm. “Who sent you here?” She thought Erica would never find out about her relationship with Alex because she was hiding it really well.
Erica swung her hand and scoffed, “Anastasia toldabout it. Don’t you think it’s really ironic?” “What?” Hayley’s face took on a ghastly expression once again. It's Anastasia again? Why is she always going against me? Just then, Alex shouted from his room, “Why is my money gone?!” Hearing that, Erica immediately realized something was up with Alex, so she spun on her heels and left the place. At the stime, Hayley noticed something as well.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince Anastasia had taken over Tillman Constructions, the large sum of money that he embezzled would definitely be recovered, and he would need to bear the consequences.
Now, Hayley didn’t want anything anymore; she just wanted to cut ties with Alex completely. Disregarding everything, she was ready to leave too.
At this moment, all she heard was Alex cursing in rage, noises of him breaking things, and his bellows about his missing money.
This man was nothing to her anymore. With coldness in her eyes, she took her bag and left the place, as she was also tired of acting for such a long twith him.
As Erica was going downstairs, she met a few men who were going up, and she was a little surprised by that. When she cout to the parking lot, there were several patrol cars and a few men there watching over the place. Curious, she sat in her car and wanted to see who they were arresting.
After a while, she also saw Hayley coming out of the apartment in dejection and leaving from the opposite direction. She stared at Hayley, desperately wanting to hit her with the car when she realized how blind she was previously to be best friends with her all this while.
Cto think of it now! I's so sickening that since | got married to Alex, I've been sharing the smen with her. She felt nauseous thinking about it.
On the other hand, Alex was still anxiously calling the bank to check why his money was missing. The banker, on the other side, told him frankly that his transaction had been found to be illegal and that the bank would halt the process of recovering the money from overseas.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as he was raving, he heard someone break into his apartment. Shocked, he rushed out of his room, and the plainclothes police, who broke into his apartment, jumped on him and immediately pressed him onto the floor.
“Alex Hunter, you're under arrest for embezzlement. You'll need to follow us back to the station for further investigation.” At this moment, Alex’s mind froze for a moment, and something cthrough his mind all of a sudden. It's a trap. It was a trap that Anastasia set for him to purposely let him embezzle that money after seeing his greediness and tricks.
He was in deep regret when he realized he had fallen into Anastasia’s trap and had jumped into the abyss with his own feet.
The thirty million, together with the three million that he had embezzled previously, could get him a sentence of more than 10 years in prison.
Within 15 minutes, Erica saw a few plainclothes police coming out of the apartment with a person arrested, and that person was Alex.
Shocked, she saw him having his head pressed and entering the patrol car. Instantly, her brain started to figure out what was going on. Why is Alex arrested? What did he do? He'd toldabout a thirty-million sum of money previously, and he divorceda few days after that. Since he was in the finance department and he also had a record for embezzlement, did he embezzle that thirty million too? And he’s arrested now because Anastasia found out about it? At the side of a car not far away, Hayley looked at Alex getting arrested in the patrol car with a cold gaze. Her eyes were emotionless as he was just a cash machine to her.
