But how did he get sentenced to death?” “They brutally killed Lucas’ son abroad, so Lucas sued him. He was sentenced to death at the first trial for multiple crimes.” Anastasia closed her eyes. There's also the death of my mom and the kidnapping of Elliot when he was a child. This guy deserves death for having blood on his hands, she thought.
“How are my people doing at their job?” “They're very professional.” “I'll pick you up and take you to the hospital this afternoon! “Okay.” Anastasia nodded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeanwhile, Alex was in his office, but he was in no mood to work at this very moment. He wanted to get rid of Anastasia so that he could have complete control over Tillman Constructions by manipulating Erica. However, he was fearful of Elliot's power and influence. After all, Anastasia was Elliot's sweetheart. If anything were to happen to her, he’d probably get to the bottom of it.
He thought of Erica, who had no brains and could easily be made a scapegoat.
Sitting in Francis’ former office, Alex was enjoying the feeling of superiority when the telephone before him rang. He picked up the receiver, saying, “Hello?” ‘President Hunter, President Zimmer from the Golden Meadows Property Group is here. He says he has something to discuss with you.” Alex immediately instructed, “Show him to the conference room. I'll be there right away.” He dared not snub President Zimmer, who was one of Francis’ longtclients and whom he had to keep sweet.
After straightening his clothes, he called his assistant over and went to the conference roomy with the latter. As soon as he pushed the door and entered, he immediately greeted President Zimmer with great enthusiasm, saying, “Why take the trouble to call the way here, President Zimmer? If there’s anything. just calland I'll cto you right away.” “What a fine young man who has to be treated with respect, President Hunter! I've heard about President Tillman, and | wish him a speedy recovery,’ President Zimmer replied. Then, he continued with a grave look in his eyes, “President Hunter, I'm here to tell you something in person. I'm afraid my company isn’t going to be able to fill the order as specified in our contract” Alex’s heart tensed at once. He couldn't help but ask with a smile, “President Zimmer, we have a long-standing relationship. Is there anything that you're worried about?” President Zimmer shook his head. “No, it's that I'm going to retire, so my son has taken over my job. He has his own ideas and wants to cancel our collaboration with your company, and | can’t do anything about it. That's why | went out of my way to chere to apologize to you and tell you about it. I'm sorry, President Hunter, he said before getting up to leave.
Alex panicked involuntarily, ‘President Zimmer, we can still talk about this. If there’s anything about us that you're dissatisfied with, we can-" “My son has made up his mind on this, so there's no way | can talk about it,” President Zimmer said before leaving.
Alex's face darkened for a moment. He knew that the cancellation of their collaboration must have something to do with his appointment as president.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSoon after that, he received phone calls from several clients, who also proposed to renegotiate their existing collaborations.
Alex was panicked by the phone calls. Not only that, but many of his clients canceled their orders in just one day, causing most of the orders Francis had. secured for the company to be canceled.
Alex was totally incapable of conducting business. He had thought that he could get through the year by relying on these orders. But now, he only had very few projects left at hand just days after the company fell into his hands.
It was justifiable if there was only one person who canceled their order, but now, Alex had a feeling that someone was plotting against him. Who could it be? Who would have such great capability? That person clamped down on almost all of Tillman Constructions’ projects for this year.
Alex's face changed color; he thought of someone fearsome. Elliot.
Could he be the one making trouble behind my back? If this is really his doing... Feeling tremendous pressure, Alex couldn't help but rise from his seat before heading straight for the finance department's office, where Anastasia had an office of her own and was reviewing the accounts that had been straightened out.
