Chapter 511
“Well, how do you know she isn‘t just a wolf in sheep‘s clothing? Do you know her better than we do?” Erica bit out
angrily.
“Miss Tillman will have an insurmountable fortune to her name once she becomes Mrs. Presgrave, so why would
she come after Tillman Constructions? The both of you, however, are acting highly suspicious right now,” Rey
pointed out sardonically. He was Elliot‘s assistant, and being demanding aside, the job also required a sharp and
analytical mind.
Naomi gaped at Rey speechlessly, and jealousy flashed in Erica‘s eyes. When did Anastasia gain superiority over
us?
Just then, Rey‘s phone rang, and he quickly picked up after glancing at the caller ID. “Yes, President Presgrave?”
“Throw those women out of the premises right now I don‘t want them making a scene there,” came Elliot‘s curt
reply. While he was not at the hospital, he had gotten word about Naomi and Erica being there and causing a scene
in the main lobby. He was admittedly bearing a grudge against them, especially after Naomi had slapped Anastasia
in the face last night. That alone was enough to make him want to ruin their lives.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRey answered solemnly, “Yes, sir.” Then, he shot the security guards a look and instructed, “Escort them out of the
hospital at once and do not let them come back in again.”
The security guards leaped into action at once. Before Naomi and Erica knew what was happening, they were held
by the arms and frog–marched toward the lobby exit.
“Hey! What are you doing? Let me go right now!” Naomi hollered.
However, no one heeded her warning, and just like that, the mother–daughter duo was thrown out the door.
Following this, the security guards fell into formation and stood in a line of six, effectively blocking the women‘s way
into the building.
“How dare that useless little wench treat us like this! If she thinks she‘s so great, then why doesn‘t she just kill me
already?” Naomi seethed.
Humiliated and not wanting to turn into the butt of the joke now that she was thrown out of a hospital, Erica quickly
grabbed her arm and urged, “Mom, we should go.”
Naomi had no choice but to leave with her daughter. Once they burrowed into their car, Erica pulled out her phone
and called Alex.
“Hello?”
“Alex, Anastasia had Dad transferred to Presgrave Hospital‘ We tried to bring him back, but security threw us out.
What do we do now?”
“Whal How could you have let her take him away in the first place.”
“We didn‘t let her!” Erica argued. “She signed the transfer paperwork this morning while Mom and I were away
from the hospital. What if the medical team at Presgrave Hospital manages to save him from his comatose state?”
“I‘d only just switched out the old will. It‘ll be the end of us if President Tillman wakes up, so you have to make sure
he never does!” Alex ground out icily.
“What the hell do I do now?”
“Continue pressing them until they hand over President Tillman, and you have to find out his current condition no
matter what,” Alex urged.
“Okay.” Erica hung up and glanced at Naomi, saying, “Mom, I think I have a way that might just work. We could call
the press and have them expose Anastasia. We‘ll make it sound like she has taken Dad away so that she could kill
him and claim Tillman Constructions all for herself. Then, we‘ll use the subsequent public discourse to force her into
handing Dad over.”
Naomi pondered on this and decided that it was a viable option. Now that Anastasia had Elliot to protect her, she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas untouchable. Calling the press on her and painting her as some greedy spawn who only wanted to take the
company for herself would undoubtedly disrupt her life to some extent.
“Alright then. We‘ll just use the press and have her facing backlash afterward,” Naomi said, agreeing with her
daughter. Man
Erica knew a couple of reporters from various media companies, and she decided to have the powerhouse among
them cover the news.
In the guest lounge of the press company, Erica and Naomi explained to the person they were meeting about how
Anastasia was after Francis‘ fortune.
The man who had joined them in the lounge was the editor–in–chief. He did not care about the truth, only about the
buzz that such news would bring. The issue would become a subject of dispute among the public, which was the
most valuable outcome.
But neither Naomi nor Erica told the editor–in–chief a vital piece of information, which was that of Anastasia and
Elliot‘s engagement. They had only painted her as a scheming no–good wench who had been vying for Tillman
Constructions.
“Very well. We‘ll be more than happy to expose this woman for you. It‘s a matter of life and death, after all. I‘ll head
on to write the article right now, and we‘ll feed it to the public. Once the backlash starts kicking in, she‘ll cave under
the pressure and return your sick and comatose husband and father.”
