Chapter 248 The Acquisition

Anastasia got Alex to make the phone call. When he was done, he walked over to her and said, “Mrs. Tillman and Miss Erica are on their way to the hospital.”

Anastasia nodded tiredly as a worried look etched upon her face. She wasn’t sure what would happen to Francis’ company. Elliot had told her before that the acquiring party had their eyes set on the profitable construction industry, and Francis’ company had been their target for a while now. It followed that they would have done plenty of homework and made arrangements well in advance. They were determined to go through with the acquisition no matter what.

Just then, Alex sighed. “Anastasia, the whole acquisition thing has come up out of the blue, and President Tillman likely collapsed from the shock of it all.” Frankly speaking, he didn’t want to leave the company either. He had toiled hard to get promoted to financial manager, which was a position that came with a handsome paycheck.

Out of everyone, Anastasia was perhaps the first to know about the possibility of Tillman Constructions’ acquisition. If such was the fate of the company, it would have been too late regardless of whether she told Francis about it or not.

With a sigh of resignation, she hummed in response and said, “Let’s go and see how my dad’s doing right now.” She could only pray that her father would pull through.

Ten minutes later, the doctor came out of the emergency room and told them that Francis’ heart problem was acting up again. Additionally, he would be transferred to the ICU for further observation.
