What if… A smile curled the corners of Anastasia’s lips. Will she still be able to laugh if I freeze all of
Alex’s debit cards? The finance department had confirmed from the account statements that Alex had
embezzled the company’s funds, which gave her the right to freeze and audit all his bank accounts,
during which time he wouldn’t be able to spend even a penny.
She went outside and called the person in charge of the finance department, telling them to start
preparing for this. The department would go through all the procedures and have Alex’s debit cards
frozen by this afternoon.
At this moment, Alex was having a meeting at Tillman Constructions. Now that he had suddenly lost
quite a few clients thanks to Elliot, he had to source for new clients, so he was quite busy.
Erica came soon afterward, but her mind. was elsewhere today, preoccupied with
the man she had come across this morning. The man’s face filled her with loathing and disdain.
Damnably,. however, the man was her biological father.
“What’s wrong, Erica? Did you not sleep well last night?” Alex asked with concern.
“Were you really meeting with a client last night? Why did you come back early in the morning? Erica

Alex couldn’t help but give her his puppy-dog eyes, saying, “I came back early in the morning for the
meeting. Don’t you see that my eyes are bloodshot?”
As expected, Erica bought his story. Not only that, but she even felt sorry for him and hugged him,
saying, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted you. You’ve worked hard enough for the company.”
Alex didn’t forget to express his love for her. “It’s okay! I can bear all kinds of hardships for your sake.
You’re my wife, after all.”
Upon hearing his words, Erica cheered up a little. Well, nothing wrong will happen as long as the secret
of my parentage remains hidden. Otherwise, if
Anastasia learns about it, the whole Tillman Constructions will be back in her hands, she thought.
It was soon 3:00 PM, and Alex was up to his ears in work. However, Erica didn’t understand the
company’s affairs, so she could only go out and hang around. Recalling that she hadn’t gotten in touch
with Hayley for a long time, she called her immediately.
Hayley happened to be free as well, so they agreed to meet up.
In the cafe, Erica noticed Hayley’s healthy complexion and how the latter was dressed in designer
clothes again. Not only that, but the latter was carrying a new purse. She asked with a smile, “Seems
like you’ve been doing fine recently! Did you get yourself a sugar
daddy or something?”
Hayley averted her eyes guiltily for a moment. “Nope, I didn’t. It’s just that someone’s been nice to me.”
Erica looked at her face, which had successfully undergone plastic surgery.
One had to say that the plastic surgery did produce nice results; Hayley had thrown money at it, after
all. However, nobody knew the price she paid for this. She had now lost both her sense of smell and
sense of taste, which made her life extremely difficult. However, life had to continue, so she had no
choice but to wangle money from Alex for her medical treatment.
“You do look a little like Anastasia with your makeup on.’ Erica said.
Hayley’s eyes flickered with displeasure. “Who says that I have to look like her? I just want to be myself
now.”
Erica was rendered speechless for a moment. She felt that Hayley was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmobviously imitating Anastasia in every aspect. Not only that, but she even purposely wore light makeup
like the latter. However, she lied through her teeth about it.
“How is Anastasia now? And how is your dad? Hayley asked.
Erica couldn’t help but ask in surprise..
“How did you know what happened to my dad? When did I tell you about it?”
Hayley’s face paled slightly with fright. She hurriedly said, “You didn’t tell me about it? Then where did I
hear that? Oh, right, I accidentally heard it from someone when I went to your place to visit you last
time. I forgot about it.”
Erica didn’t think much about it either. She said with a sigh. “My dad’s comatose, and my mom… She
was set up by Anastasia-that b*tch-and locked up.”
Hayley deliberately feigned shock. “What? What did Anastasia do to your mom?”
“She said it was my mom who made my dad comatose. That’s bullsh*t,” Erica said through clenched
teeth.
Hayley sneered inwardly. Weren’t you guys in this together? How could your speak so self-righteously
as though you have justice on your side? “Anastasia is indeed scheming and vicious. Neither of us is a
match for her. You’ve got to watch out for her in the future,” she said,
comforting Erica.
