Chapter 444 The Dog That Bites Its Owner

“Hey, Anastasia. There you are! The meeting will be in conference room No. 3.”

“Alright. Thank you.” Anastasia nodded with a smile and walked into Francis’ office after that.

Seeing that she was here, Francis took the documents and stood up. “Let’s go.”

Just when the both of them exited the office, Erica and Hayley appeared. When Anastasia saw Hayley,

her gaze dimmed. Why is she here?

“Dad, I want to attend the meeting too.” Erica then continued angrily, “Why did you inform her but not

me?”

However, Francis did not intend for Erica to come, so he muttered, “Don’t make a scene here, Erica.

Bring your friend to rest somewhere else!”

“Dad, you leave for the meeting first. I’ll be there in a short while,” Anastasia then said.

Francis had to oblige since the time for the meeting was approaching. “Come quickly,” he hurried her

before walking to the conference room.

After Francis left, Anastasia immediately stared coldly at Hayley and asked, “Why are you in my dad’s

company?”

“Erica brought me here,” Hayley replied, her brows raised.

“That’s right. I brought her here! Can’t I even bring my friend here now?” Erica asked aggressively.

Being Erica’s half-sister, Anastasia tried to kindly warn Erica, “Don’t be with such a person in the

future.”

“Do you think you are better than me, Anastasia? What gives you the right to say that?” Anastasia’s

words enraged Hayley. She was in such a pathetic state now all because of this woman.

Anastasia only responded with a cold stare. “At the very least, unlike you, a dog that bites its owner, I

have a conscience.”

Hayley understood what she was hinting at. Gritting her teeth in rage, she replied, “You’ve no right to

humiliate me, Anastasia. I merely did some foolish things.”

“Elliot was gracious enough not to send you to jail. Otherwise, based on what you did, you will almost

certainly be imprisoned for at least ten years “Anastasia stated solemnly. Even she, as an outsider, was

enraged by what Hayley had done, let alone Elliot.

Meanwhile, Erica, who was standing beside them, did not understand their conversation.

But Hayley’s face turned pale. “Stop pretending to be kind, Anastasia. You aren’t fair to Erica as well

since you wanted to take over your dad’s company as your own.”

Hayley began to incite conflict between Erica and Anastasia, intending to drag Erica into the battlefield.

Erica felt that what Hayley said was right too, so she immediately stared at Anastasia and said, “That’s

right. Why did Dad only inform you about the meeting and not me? You’re the one who asked him to do

so, right?”

Anastasia couldn’t help but be concerned about Erica’s naïve and gullible personality, as she knew how

well Hayley exploited such people.

“I did not do so.” After Anastasia finished her words, she walked to the conference room right away,

without even sparing Hayley a second glance.

Staring at her retreating figure, Erica turned around and looked at Hayley. “Why did she say you need

to be imprisoned?”

“It’s nothing.” Hayley did not intend to explain it to Erica. “I understand your concerns now, Erica. It

seems that your father indeed wants her to take over the company.”

“The lounge is there, Hayley. You can wait for me there. I’ll check out the situation in the conference

room now.”

“Sure thing.” Hayley nodded as she watched Erica leaving for the conference room. She wasn’t in a

hurry anyway, so she roamed around the company.

As she stood beside the guardrails, reading the advertisement brochure on the wall, a man’s hand was

suddenly placed on her shoulder. “Why aren’t you in the conference room yet, Anastasia?”

Feeling shocked, she turned around, startling the man behind her as well. Alex, too, was surprised to

see this lady who looked like Anastasia.

Then, he realized that he had gotten the wrong person.

“I’m sorry. I mistook you for someone else,” he apologized while staring at Hayley. She did resemble

Anastasia, even though she lacked Anastasia’s elegance when observed closely.

Hayley, on the other hand, recognised Alex as the finance manager Erica had mentioned, and she

found him quite attractive.
