Chapter 525

Francis had been doing a good job over the past few years, so the company’s performance had been

very stable.

Just then, Alex came in somewhat anxiously. “Miss Tillman, I’d like to talk to you.”

Anastasia raised her eyebrows impassively. “Is there anything, President Hunter?”

“Could you ask President Presgrave to give us a break and stop targeting Tillman Constructions? This is

your dad’s company, after all, Alex said in an almost pleading tone.

Anastasia frowned slightly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Your dad secured quite some projects last year, but now those clients intend to cancel their orders. I

only have a handful of small orders now, but they can hardly sustain the company’s growth.”

Anastasia seemed unruffled on the surface, but she was surprised inwardly.

Did Elliot really take action against Alex? What is he up to? “This has nothing to do with Elliot. If the

clients want to cancel their orders, you should look within yourself for the reasons instead of blaming him

for it,” she argued. Then, she mocked coldly, ‘Mr. Hunter, I believe nothing will happen to my dad’s

company as long as it’s in your hands. You’re such a capable person, after all.”

In that case, Miss Tillman, please ask President Presgrave if he has anything to do with this. If this is

really his doing. please ask him to give the projects back to us,” Alex implored humbly.

However, it was clear that Anastasia wouldn’t help him. “The company’s projects are your own business.

I’m only in charge of the company’s finances.”

Alex also realized that Anastasia didn’t care at all about Tillman Constructions’ fate. However, he cared

about it. Francis would never regain consciousness for life,

which would make the company his property. Therefore, he had to make sure that the company made

profits. Now that he had married Erica, he was considered

one of the company s major shareholders. Not only that, but Erica intended to transfer to him the 40

percent shares Naomi owned in the company, making him the company’s largest shareholder.

As soon as he left, Anastasia took out her

phone and dialed Elliot’s number.

“Hello? A male voice answered the phone with a chuckle on the other end as if knowing that she would

call him.

“Is it because of you that Tillman Constructions lost a few big projects?” Anastasia asked..

“Yes, it is.”

“Why would you do that?” Anastasia was puzzled.

“I want to acquire Tillman Constructions,”

Elliot said.

“How are you gonna acquire it, then?” Anastasia had no objection to his methods.

Elliot sounded like he was talking about something ordinary. Since Alex wants so much to have your

dad’s company to himself, I’ll let him taste what it’s like to be burdened with huge debts. He’s got only

himself to blame for asking for trouble.”

“Is there anything that I can do for you?”

“No, it’s not necessary. Let me do it by myself. Elliot had planned this for a long time. Alex was one of the

people he hated the most because he had overreached himself by courting Anastasia. This alone was

sufficient to land him on Elliot’s blacklist.

I’m checking the company’s accounts, and I found some issues. The accounts don’t tally; there’s a

difference of several million. Anastasia took charge of Tillman

Constructions’ finances precisely to dig up dirt on Alex. Francis trusted him very much, but had he done

something behind the former’s back? Perhaps she could find some issues.

“Alright. I’ll come pick you up. Elliot

wanted to pick her up from work.

“Okay. I’d like to go to the hospital to visit my dad.”

Meanwhile, Alex was sitting in Francis former seat. He wasn’t that stupid. Instead, he smelled danger. He

was suddenly becoming Tillman Constructions’ largest shareholder. If the company went bankrupt one

day, he would have to take on huge debts. Not only would he fail to become rich, but he would also be

heavily in debt-all thanks to the tricks played by Elliot, the multimillionaire capitalist.

The conjecture brought him out in a cold sweat. Just then, however, Erica called, saying, “Hey, A lex. I’m

now on my way to your office to bring you my mom’s equity

contract before we sign the share transfer agreement.”

Alex was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, there was the temptation of Tillman Constructions’

shares; on the other hand, however, there were Elliot’s overwhelming capabilities. “Damn it!” Looking

extremely irritable, he pushed the documents off his desk. Elliot was standing in his way of getting rich,

but he was powerless to fight back.
