Chapter 291

When Anastasia got off work and walked into her community, she didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. She waved at the security guard at the entrance before making her way down the community path by herself.

Her phone rang. It was a call from her mom in Willowbrook.

Anastasia was just about to answer it when she noticed a shadow on the ground. Before she could react, someone covered her mouth from behind. Anastasia was scared out of her wits and struggled, but a man’s hand held her tight, immobilizing her. Soon, she gradually lost consciousness, and her phone slipped out of her

hand.

A cloth covering her mouth was soaked in ether, causing her to pass out.

After Anastasia fainted, the man quickly carried her into a car parked nearby, picking up her fallen phone in the process.

That man was Harmon.

After causing trouble at the bar, Harmon had been locked up for a few days. He was not willing to let it go, blaming all the problems on Anastasia.

He had sneaked into the community earlier and was waiting for her. He knew there were no surveillance cameras around.

Harmon drove a van. He dumped Anastasia in the back seat, covered her with a sheet, and then drove out of the community. The security guard at the entrance didn’t see any of this. He was snoring in his booth. Harmon paid the parking fee and drove away from the community.

Back in Willowbrook, Salma had called several times but no one answered. She glanced at Tavon next to her and said, “Ana must be sleeping.”

Ever since Salma arrived in Willowbrook, she had been staying in a hotel. Tavon was with her whenever he had time. Ashley was always urging him to trick Anastasia into coming over, as Sandy’s condition couldn’t wait any longer.

Tavon was a bit upset, but he managed to smile and said, “It’s alright. Ana’s job is stressful. It’s good if she sleeps early. You should go to bed early too, Salma. Call Ana tomorrow. The elders of the Morton family want to meet her. It’s not okay that she hasn’t shown up.”

“I’ll call tomorrow.” Salma said, “Ana’s very busy. We’d need to plan ahead if she were to come.”

Tavon sat next to Salma and persuaded, “Salma, I think Ana is not willing to come because she’s upset with me. I really want to hear her call me ‘dad’. How about this, you pretend to be sick tomorrow, call Ana and trick her into coming. Once she acknowledges me as her dad, I’ll throw a welcome party for Ana and let everyone know about her.”

Salma was touched seeing that Tavon really wanted to acknowledge Anastasia and was willing to introduce her to all his friends and family. “I’ll think about it.” Sálma said, “I hope you two can reconcile too.”

She didn’t expect rekindling any old feelings with Tavon; she just hoped Anastasia could return to the family.

Tavon held Salma’s hand tightly and promised, “Salma, you’ve given so much over the years. Once Ana formally becomes a member of my family, I’ll bring you back to the Morton family as her biological mother. I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life.”

His promise comforted Salma. “I don’t want to live in the Morton family nor expect you to do anything. Just be good to Ana. She’s been through a lot.”.

“As for living in the Morton family, we’ll discuss that later. You bring Ana here tomorrow since some elders of the family want to meet her in the evening. They really care about etiquette. If Ana doesn’t show up, they may be upset.” Tavon said.

Salma hesitated for a moment before agreeing, “Alright.”

Salma didn’t want Anastasia to upset the family elders even before returning to the Morton family. That would make it harder to get along in the future.

Seeing Salma agree, Tavon left satisfied.

Meanwhile.

Herman had just left a social club. He felt uneasy and ended the engagements early. Flynn came out with him, asking, “Herman, where are you rushing off to? Even if you have a date with Anastasia, you don’t need to be in such a hurry.”

Herman got into his Rolls Royce parked outside and said, “I have a bad feeling. Something’s not right.”

He called Anastasia, but her phone was turned off. Anastasia’s phone would never be turned off. He checked the time, frowning, “At this time, Anastasia should still be awake.”

He called Katelyn to ask if Anastasia had returned home.

Katelyn had gone

to pick up the children from school that afternoon. When she answered the call, she said, “Ana hasn’t returned yet. She said she had to work late on a design draft. I just put the kids to bed, when are you coming home? Maybe you should go to the office and check on Ana.”

“Alright, got it.” Herman hung up and called the office.

When he learned that the office also had no news of Anastasia, Herman became anxious.

Seeing his anxious expression, Flynn tried to comfort him, “Don’t be so nervous. Maybe Anastasia is hanging out with her friends; and her phone died.”

“No way. Herman insisted, “Something’s wrong with Anastasia.”
