Anastasia had just picked up her bag and was about to leave the finance department when Erica came and stopped her face to face. ‘Let’s talk.”

Anastasia looked at her with folded arms. “About what?” “My mom will never set Dad up, so you must’ve made a mistake. Please have her released,’ Erica uttered between clenched teeth.

Anastasia’s eyes flashed fire. “Erica, if you still have a conscience, please care about Dad instead of making excuses for your mom. He’s hovering between life and death now.” Erica was visibly startled. “W-What happened to Dad?”

“From now on, you no longer have to know my dad’s condition.’ Anastasia clenched her fists. In her opinion, Erica’s actions had made her unqualified to be Francis’ daughter.

“What gives you the right to not let me know his condition? H-He’s also my dad,” Erica protested diffidently. Then, recalling that she was here to beg Anastasia for mercy, she immediately pleaded in a softer voice, “Sis, please let my mom off! Whatever she did, she only did it in a momentary lapse of judgment! She’s my mom and your stepmother, after all. Could you please let her off? Even if Dad wakes up, he’ll surely forgive her.

Anastasia darted a look at her in disgust. “It’s useless to beg me. You guys never treated me as part of the family, and I always treat you guys as outsiders.”

Erica suggested, “In that case, Anastasia, what do I need to do for you to let my mom off? How about this? I’ll give you ten percent of my shares so that you let her off.” As someone who was greedy for profit, she thought Anastasia was the same kind of person as she was.
