Chapter 301

Salma had a history of fainting, and now that Anastasia heard Salma had collapsed again, she was worried sick. In a rush, she asked, “How’s my mom doing now?”

“She’s not fully conscious yet and keeps calling your name, Anastasia. You need to come to Willowbrook ASAP.” Tavon’s voice came through the phone, sounding just as frantic.

Anastasia made up her mind. “Take care of my mom, I’ll be in Willowbrook this afternoon.”

After hanging up, Herman said, “I’ll go with you to Willowbrook.”

Anastasia shook her head. “You’re the boss of a big company, you must be super busy, you don’t need to run around with me. My mom might not even be ill, so I’ll go check out the situation first.”

Having calmed down, Anastasia started to doubt Taven’s words.

Herman was indeed very busy, He had a deal to finalize with WOW Corporation; he had warned Brown Corporation before, and now the disagreements between the two firms were causing some issues. “Alright, I’ll have Flynn go with you to Willowbrook. I’ll feel better knowing he’s with you.”

Anastasia thought this was a good idea. “Okay, I’ll head out from here immediately, so there’s no need to go back home. Call your aunt, no, your mom, and ask her to take care of Pattie for a bit.”

After making the arrangements, Anastasia and Flynn headed for Willowbrook. On the two-hour flight, Flynn was very attentive, seizing this rare opportunity to get on Anastasia’s good side, which could influence Herman. Flynn helped carry the luggage onto the plane. Not long after takeoff, he fetched a blanket and brought drinks. “Anastasia, if you need anything, just let me know.”

Anastasia took a sip of the mineral water and casually asked, “What did you major in?”

Flynn smiled. “Business Administration, a master’s degree.”

Anastasia commented, “A shame you didn’t go to film school.”

Flynn quickly retorted, “Anastasia, my brother made me do it. I’m honestly a straightforward guy. He made me act like this.”

Upon hearing this, Anastasia nearly choked. “Are all you Salstroms like this, do the Salstroms make a living out of fraud?”

Flynn looked surprised. “Anastasia, how did you know? My brother told you?”

Anastasia was taken aback. “It’s really like this?”

“I heard it from my grandpa, the Salstrom family’s first big break came from my grandpa’s dad’s scam.”

Anastasia was speechless. “Can’t you just say your great-grandpa?”

Flynn chuckled a bit. “The family tree is a bit complicated. Anyway, that’s how the Salstroms got started. By my dad’s generation, we switched to real estate, and then

my brother switched to E-commerce, Now Elysian Technologies is booming, real estate, tourism, catering, entertainment, light industry, heavy industry…”

As Flynn counted using his fingers, he introduced the Salstrom family’s industries to Anastasia. The more Anastasia heard, the more shocked she was. The Salstrom’s business empire was way more powerful than she had imagined. The estimated billions in net worth probably only accounted for a small fraction of it. Anastasia exclaimed, “I must have done a lot of good deeds in my past life. How else could I be this lucky.”

Flynn laughed, resting his hands on the small table. “Salstrom men are faithful. Once we choose, we stick to it till the end. You really are lucky.”

Anastasia nodded and jokingly asked, “So, can I live a carefree life now?”

Flynn excitedly said, “I have the same thought, but whether we can live a worry-free life depends on whether my big brother is willing to help us.” Anastasia confidently said, “Anyway, your big brother will help me.”

Flynn jokingly said, “Considering we both think alike, I hope you can help me too.”
