Never Too Far Novel
Chapter 541-550
“Is that so?” Anastasia frowned slightly as a scheming look began to form in her eyes. She said, “Mr. Lewinsky, go back to Tillman Constructions with your men first. I’m gonna hand the finance department over to Alex. I’ve got to devote myself to looking after my dad.”
Gregory was startled for a moment before he nodded. “Okay.”
After the meeting ended, Anastasia asked Gregory to stay. She said to him, “Mr. Lewinsky, please help me keep a close eye on the accounts.”
Gregory understood what she meant. “I got it, Miss Tillman.”
After the subordinates left, Anastasia picked up her phone and dialed Alex’s number.
“Hey, Anastasia. Is there anything?” Alex sounded somewhat excited.
“Well, I have to devote myself to taking care of my dad, so I may not have time to care about the company’s finances anymore. I’m gonna hand the company’s finances back to you.”
“Dad’s condition matters more than anything else. Anastasia, you can leave the company to me with peace of mind. I’ll definitely save the company from its hopeless situation.”
“Alright. You can rehire your former subordinates into the finance department. My people are gonna leave the department.”
Alex replied, “No problem. Thank you so much, Anastasia.” Inwardly, though, he was overjoyed. Now that Anastasia was going to keep her hands off Tillman Constructions, the whole company would fall under his complete control.
“Oh, by the way, the Silverstar Enterprise still owes us 30 million, so take note of it.” Anastasia reminded him.
“30 million?”
“Yeah.”
“Alright! What a timely help it is. As it happens, the company needs the money to stay afloat.”
“Is that so?” Anastasia frowned slightly as a scheming look began to form in her eyes. She said, “Mr. Lewinsky, go back to Tillman Constructions with your men first. I’m gonna hand the finance department over to Alex. I’ve got to devote myself to looking after my dad.”
“Alright, that’s all,” Anastasia said before hanging up.
Alex clenched his fists excitedly in his office. Not only was the finance department back in his hands, but the company was going to receive a huge sum of payment. To him, this would really solve the urgent situation.
However, after he was happy for a few seconds, his eyes suddenly darkened. If he could take the 30 million away, the money would be enough for him to start his own business. And besides, could Tillman Constructions still be saved? There was no way the few small projects could sustain the company for long, so it wouldn’t take long before the company went bankrupt. In other words, the 30 million would only go down the drain if it was invested into the company. So, why don’t I keep the 30 million in my hands instead? This will be a real cash flow!
Alex had long been impatient to abandon his position as Tillman Constructions’ president. Whoever wants to be president can take up the position. Luckily, he had a secret trick up his sleeve last time. The agreement to transfer Naomi’s shares included an additional clause added by him whereby he could give up his rights to the shares anytime. In the end, Erica would be the only person who had to bear the consequences of Tillman Constructions’ bankruptcy. By then, he would divorce her and live in another city with Hayley and the money. Now that’s an enjoyment.
He took everything into account as reality forced him into doing so. It had only been less than two weeks since his appointment as president, but he had learned how difficult it was to run a company. He was already mentally and physically exhausted thanks to all kinds of troubles. If he were to keep on working as the company’s president, he might end up suffering from heart disease. For the sake of his health, he decided to quit.
Meanwhile, Anastasia was standing next to Francis’ sickbed in the hospital. She sincerely hoped that he could wake up immediately and see the looks and ambitions of those around him. “Dad, I’ll make them pay the price,” she whispered softly to him.
That very afternoon, Alex summoned his former subordinates back. Silverstar Enterprise promised to credit the money into Tillman Constructions’ bank account by 10:00 AM tomorrow, but to Alex’s surprise, they credited the money before the off-work hours.
Sitting before his laptop, Alex looked at the 30 million in Tillman Constructions’ bank account with his eyes full of greed. With his capabilities, it wouldn’t be difficult to extract the 30 million. After all, Tillman Constructions needed money for everything right now. As long as he cooked the books a little bit, it would be easy for him to extract the money. Moreover, he was experienced in this.
Meanwhile, Erica was also on pins and needles at home. She couldn’t share the matter with anyone other than Naomi; she dared not even tell Alex about it.
There was no other way but to kill Mrs. Garner to bury the secret forever.
It was obvious at a glance that her biological father had a plebeian mentality. As long as she gave him a little money, he would promise to keep the secret forever. Mrs. Garner was different, though. Even if she took the money, there was no guarantee that she wouldn’t tell Anastasia the secret after she finished spending all the money in the future.
By then, she would be able to get a sum of money from Anastasia.
Mrs. Garner was such a greedy person that Erica would only put her mind at rest if the former vanished completely from the face of the earth. Now that Naomi wasn’t by her side, she had to make all the decisions on her own. Moreover, she inherited Naomi’s ruthless side. She had no other way out; she had to snuff out the secret. If her parentage were to come to light, she would lose all the glory that belonged to her.
Just then, it occurred to her that she hadn’t been intimate with Alex for a long time. The thought made her crave his company tonight, so she dialed his number, wanting to have dinner with him in the evening.
Alex agreed; he would do his best at playing the part of her husband before the 30 million fell into his hands. What gave him the nerve to target the 30 million now was the current lack of oversight on Tillman Constructions. Anastasia was putting her heart and soul into saving Francis, who couldn’t regain consciousness, whereas Erica knew nothing about business. This was a great opportunity for him.
Just then, Erica said, “Alex, I’m afraid that it’s gonna be difficult for my mom to be removed from suspicion. Anastasia refuses to let her off, whereas my dad’s still comatose. So, you’ve got to stay by my side and help me, okay?” She dared not look down on Alex anymore now that she had to depend on him.
“I’ll help you through everything, of course. Now that you’ve given me the power to run the company, I’m not gonna let you down,” Alex replied.
By then, she would be able to get a sum of money from Anastasia.
Erica raised her wine glass. “I love you, Alex.”
“I love you too.” Alex clinked glasses with her.
That night, Alex stayed at Erica’s place. She grabbed his cell phone and wanted to take a look at its messages, only to find that it was locked with a passcode. They were already husband and wife, but Alex didn’t give her open access to his phone. “Alex, what’s your phone’s passcode? I wanna check something,” she asked him.
Alex stretched out his hand and took his phone from her, asking, “What do you want to check? Let me help you.”
Seeing that the phone was back in his hands, Erica couldn’t help but pout her lips. “Alex, why don’t you just tell me the passcode?”
Alex held her for a moment with a smile. “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you the passcode. It’s just that my phone contains a lot of stuff about the company, so I’m afraid that you might delete them by accident. Trust me; you’re the only woman I love the most.”
Erica was inwardly speechless for a moment. Like hell I’ll believe you, she thought. Alex was merely married to her, but the woman he loved the most was Anastasia. It was just that he couldn’t get his hands on the latter.
The night passed, and Alex went to work in the morning.
Early in the morning, Erica got a phone call from Mrs. Garner, who asked her if she had prepared the money. When Erica heard this, a hint of a sneer flickered across her eyes. “Mrs. Garner, I borrowed the money, but my friend asked us to go somewhere to get it. Let me fetch you and take you there.”
“Just transfer the money into my bank account!”
Erica replied, “I don’t have that much money on my debit card. I had my friend prepare 200,000 in cash at a place where you have to go and get the money yourself. I’ll transfer the money on my card into your bank account once we get there.”
Mrs. Garner wasn’t a highly-educated person, after all. Hearing that the money was ready, she naturally believed it. “Alright then, come and fetch me.”
Erica left home by car and found a well-hidden place. It was a beach she once visited. There was hardly a soul on the beach, but it had a very high cliff, making it the best place for her to strike. She picked Mrs. Garner up, looking as though she dared not offend the latter. “Here, have some water, Mrs. Garner. It’ll be quite a journey.”
Mrs. Garner asked warily, “Why do we have to go so far away?”
“That friend of mine runs a hotel by the sea. I have to go to her hotel to get the money.”
Knowing that Erica had many friends, Mrs. Garner didn’t doubt her words. Thinking that she could enjoy the scenery at the seaside, she was in a good mood. “Miss Erica, where is your mom, actually?” she asked curiously. Naomi was taken away by the police at the hospital, but Erica had never told Mrs. Garner that the former had been arrested, so Mrs. Garner was still unaware that Naomi was now in prison.
“My mom is taking care of my dad.”
“Oh. In that case, how is your dad—oh, I mean Mr. Tillman?” Mrs. Garner hurriedly corrected herself.
“He’s still unconscious,” Erica said indifferently.
With that, Mrs. Garner stopped talking.
As Erica turned to look at her, disgust flashed through her eyes. Finally, she drove into a seaside path surrounded by reeds.
At this sight, Mrs. Garner commented in surprise, “Your friend owns a hotel here?”
“No, we made an appointment to meet here. With so much money, she has to find a hidden place to give it to me or it’ll be bad if someone steals it from us,” Erica explained while deliberately dialing her phone. But in fact, there would be no answer as she called her other phone which she usually left in her house.
“Oh no! My friend isn’t answering. Let’s go over and see if she has arrived,” Erica suggested pretentiously.
Garner didn’t think much about her words and believed her. Hence, they drove all the way into a hill with the sea in the distance and a shore full of dangerous reefs. As Erica parked
