Having lost her mother, Erica could only rely on Alex. “Erica, Anastasia is checking the company’s

finances. I have a few external funds that I’m afraid might get found out. Can you help me when that

happens?”

“Y-You embezzled the company’s money? “About three million.” Alex wasn’t afraid to admit it. Erica had

to depend on him now, anyway.

“What? How could you…” Erica wanted to scold him, but she could only bite back her words when it

occurred to her that he was now her husband. “How can I help you?”

“Anastasia is now in control of the company’s finances, so she’ll definitely find out about it. When that

happens, just say that you had me divert the money to your bank account for your personal use

back then. You’re Francis’ daughter and her younger sister. As long as you claim to be the one who

spent the money, nothing will happen.” Alex asked her to Jake the blame . Erica said reluctantly, “Okay

then.”

Having finished his speech. Alex asked, “Do y o you know what Anastasia is up to?” Then, he told her

about the danger. “She had Elliot steal our clients to cause breaks in Tillman Constructions’ funding

chain. She wants to force the company into declaring bankruptcy “What? She wants to make my dad’s

company go bankrupt?” Erica was exasperated. “Is she nuts?!”

“As long as Tillman Constructions faces bankruptcy, it’ll undergo liquidation by the bank. When that

happens, every shareholder of the company will be burdened with its debts. At that point, we’ll be

weighed down by massive debts and be finished for life.”

Upon hearing this, Erica instantly went weak at the knees. She just wanted to get some money from

the company, but she never wanted to become saddled with debts. “But Anastasia herself owns 30

percent of the company’s shares!” Is she stupid? she thought to herself.

“Who cares if she gets into debt? She’s got Elliot backing her up. The debts will be massive for us,

though. If we can’t pay them off, we’re gonna go to jail.” Alex intentionally aroused Erica’s fear since

this was the only way to drive her into action.

And sure enough, her eyes blazed with immense hatred at his words. She uttered between clenched

teeth, “If she dares to make Tillman Constructions go bankrupt, I’m not gonna let her off “Erica, now

that we’ve lost a few clients, our company is in danger. Hurry and beg her to persuade Elliot to stop,

Alex suggested.

Erica wanted to visit Francis early tomorrow morning. She couldn’t be too heartless. After all, she was

now still his daughter and would remain so for life. I’m Francis’ second daughter as long as the secret

of my parentage isn’t found out, It was night. Anastasia’s heart ached in silence as she sat before

Francis’ bed and looked at the grayish hair on his temples.

The good news was that his vital signs were stable, with no signs of sequelae. However, it was

unknown whether he could regain consciousness. The doctor said he might come round all of a sudden

or remain comatose like this, so all she could do was wait patiently.

It was already about 11:00 PM when she finally left his bedside. Tired, she went back to the room, only

to see the man working on the sofa. He had a laptop placed on his lap and was tapping away at the

keyboard with his slender fingers.

Anastasia was startled. Dressed in a black turtleneck sweater, the man seemed stony and yet

charming under the light. with a serious expression.

Elliot looked up at her. “You’re back? Take a shower and go to sleep. “What about you? Aren’t you

going to sleep?” she asked. She didn’t want him to stay up late working either.

Of course, Elliot wasn’t supposed to sleep in her room. However, when he heard her question, he

immediately looked up in surprise with incredibly bright eyes. “Do you want me to sleep with you?”

Anastasia looked into his eyes before lowering her head in embarrassment. “Yeah, you can.”

Elliot closed his laptop and didn’t care about his work anymore. “Alright, let’s sleep together.”

By the time Anastasia came out after taking a shower, Elliot was already waiting for her in bed, having

taken a shower earlier. She watched as he changed into gray pajamas. Dressed in

lilac pajamas, she lifted the covers and got into bed. Then, she turned off the lights and naturally lay

down in his arms.

The man behind her whispered in her ear in a deep voice, “I want you to stop going to work from

tomorrow onward.”
