Now, I’ll have someone to rely on for cash, thought the man as he left while smoking happily.
At this moment, Mrs. Garner, the servant, stood up behind the wall next to the little door with a shocked expression. She couldn’t believe she had just learned a big secret by chance.
She happened to be sweeping the yard when she heard Erica yelling outside the gate earlier. She had wanted to head out to take a look, but when she saw that Erica was alright, she didn’t feel like doing so anymore. Consequently, she eavesdropped on Erica’s conversation with the man.
She couldn’t believe that the plainly dressed man was actually Erica’s biological father. Perhaps nobody in the Tillman Family knows the secret of Erica’s parentage. Now that she thought about it, that would make Anastasia the only real daughter of the Tillman Family..
Having worked here for more than ten years, Mrs. Garner had witnessed with: her own eyes how Naomi had abused Anastasia both verbally and physically
during Anastasia’s maiden years. Naomi’s daughter lived like a princess whereas the real daughter of the Tilman Family couldn’t even buy a piece of clothing.
Inwardly, she felt somewhat sorry for Anastasia, but she felt even sorrier for Francis, who had raised another man’s daughter for over 20 years. Even his company had fallen into Naomi’s and Erica’s hands now, whereas Anastasia seemed to have only gotten less than one-third of its shares.
Mrs. Garner was shrewd, so she wouldn’t easily let out such a big secret. Not only that, but she had learned how to be shrewd and calculating while living here. This was a great opportunity to make a fortune!
Erica would make a fortune in the future with the shares she now held in Tillman Constructions. I’ll trade this secret for
some money, which will be enough for me to live out my life in retirement. She didn’t have to live the humble life of a servant anymore. And besides, it wasn’t like Naomi was nice to her, anyway. She resented Naomi and Erica deep down.
Meanwhile, Rey left home for work in the morning. On his way to his office, he received a phone call. As it turned out, the person he had sent out last night to trail Alex found something. “Send me the photos,” he said.
The person quickly sent Rey the photos. The instant he tapped on them, he was stunned right away. Why was Alex with Hayley? Who else is the coquettish looking woman holding Alex’s arms in the photos if it isn’t Hayley? Is Alex having an affair with her as soon as he is married to Erica?
As for how Hayley and Alex ended up getting involved with each other, Rey was no longer interested to know because he had to report this to Elliot.
Elliot’s motorcade set out from the hospital for the Presgrave Group’s headquarters. On his way there, he received a phone call and a few pictures from Rey.
Elliot’s frosty eyes narrowed slightly as he merely took a glance at the photos before swiping them away. “Send these photos to
Anastasia and see if they’re of any use to her.”
“Roger that, President Presgrave.”
Having gotten up early in the morning. Anastasia was sitting in the specialists’ office and listening to their discussion on Francis’ condition. She didn’t understand the terms they used, but it seemed from the way they sounded that there was hope for Francis’ condition.
At that moment, her cell phone beeped with an incoming text message. She picked up the phone and saw Rey’s message, which read, ‘Miss Tillman, 1 have some photos for you to look at
Right after that, he sent her over ten photos.
When she saw the first photo, she was stunned for a few seconds. The photo showed Hayley holding Alex’s arm in a seductively charming posture. Not only that, but there were also several photos of them kissing each other affectionately on the cheek.
Seeing these photos, Anastasia felt uncomfortable because Alex cheated on Erica so merrily shortly after marrying her. Apart from that, the person whom he was cheating with was someone whom Erica thought was her bestie! On the other hand, Hayley really had no scruples; she wasn’t ashamed of stealing Erica’s husband at all.
Anastasia gloated over the photos with a feeling of exultation. I’ll just watch what happens next and let the two women rip each other to shreds when it’s necessary.
However, something occurred to her. Hayley only liked Alex for his money. It
was especially so after he became the president of Tillman Constructions and she was only too eager to please him.
