Chapter 63
Before Anastasia had a chance to utter a word, Cason had already hung up the phone.
He called first thing in the morning just to blow up at her?
Anastasia frowned, puzzled as to why Cason was so angry
It was Cason who messed up, got Herman laken away by the police, yet somehow Cason was the one who was more pissed off?
Just as Anastasia was feeling confused, Monica called and said over the phone, âAna, Casons law firm is being investigated, their family factory has also gone bust, owing a ton of money. Everyone is talking about it in our alumni group chatâ
âWhat? How did that happen?â Anastasia was taken aback.
Overnight, it felt like her whole world had changed.
âItâs all his own doing Monica said angrily. âCason is a total hypocrite. Even I was almost fooled by him. Thank God youâre married now. Otherwise, I would have made a big mistake trying to set you two up. That would have been like throwing you to the wolves. Cason would do anything for money. even drive people to jump off buildings or overdose on pills. Now, all the families of his victims are protesting at his law firm.â
Upon hearing all this, Anastasia felt a sensation that was hard to describe.
It was a sense of relief.
Cason, for the sake of fame and fortune, disregarded the truth and drove victims to suicide. Now this kind of person has become her enemy, and he would definitely not let it go.
Thinking back to Casons threatening call just now, she felt a wave of panic.
Anastasia asked, âWho revealed those things?â
Just after she had become enemies with Cason, his dirty laundry was aired. She would definitely be targeted by him.
What if Cason went to trouble Herman again?
âBad deeds will always come back to bite you. Somebody must have had enough and decided to expose him. The reason why Cason returned home is probably because he couldnât stay abroad any longer.â Monica knew who was behind it, but she couldnât say.
Some things she had to keep secret for Hermanâs sake.
Considering how protective Herman was of Anastasia, she didnât have to worry. She just needed to prevent Anastasiaâs secret from being exposed and ruining Anastasia and Hermanâs relationship.
While Anastasia was still trying to get her bearings, she needed to do her best to protect that secret and help Anastasia and Herman.
Cason got what he deserved, but Anastasia felt uneasy instead.
After chatting with Monica for a bit, Anastasia went to check in at her new job and ran into Lauren, who she had interviewed with previously.
Lauren, upon seeing Anastasia, was also surprised, âAnastasia, you got hired too? Thatâs great, weâre going to be colleagues.â
Meeting a familiar face in a strange environment, Anastasia felt more relaxed and less constrained.
Anastasia asked, âHave you checked in already?â
âYeah, I have.â Lauren was still as cheerful as ever, âItâs a shame though, you were right last time. We canât work at the headquarters, only at this subsidiary Thereâs a huge hurdle between me and the person I like.â
Anastasia laughed, âTake it slow. Thereâs a chance for a girl to win a guy over. Youâre so beautiful, youâll definitely get him.â
Upon hearing this, Lauren was very happy She grabbed Anastasiaâs hand and said, âOnce I win over Mr. Salstrom and become the boss lady of Elysian Technologies, Iâll make sure you become the chief designer.â
Anastasia laughed and responded, âAlright, I hold you to thatâ
The two chatted happily and quickly became friends. Lauren suddenly remembered their previous interview, she said, âBy the way, that Mr. Maxwell got fired. Iâm not sure why I heard he was fired right after your interview. Do you know what happened?â
âI have no ideaâ Anastasia didnât know about the interviewer getting fired.
âOh Lauren didnât probe further, she said, âYou better go check in. Today the chief designer Selena will be here. If everything goes smoothly, we might be assigned to her ream as assistants.â
Many people dreamed of becoming the assistant to the chief designer. That position was just a step away from becoming a designer.
Anastasia first went to the HR department to check in. The HR staff glanced at Anastasiaâs information and immediately became very respectful, quickly completing Anastasiaâs onboarding process.
âMs. Jewell, welcome to the team Weâre colleagues now.â
âThank youâ Anastasia was confused as to why the HR staff was so polite to her. It seemed the quality of staff in a big company truly was high. They didnât discriminate against her because of her educational background.
The company offered a very high salary, far beyond Anastasiaâs expectations.
Big companies really did throw their money around Even the probationary salary was so high.
Lauren had been waiting outside. When she saw Anastasia come out, the two of them went to check in at the design department together.
Meanwhile, in the presidentâs office of Elysian Technologies.
Herman was working on some documents when Flynn came in and said, âBrother, you only arranged an assistant position for your wife and also transferred her to a subsidiary Isnât that a bit unfair to her?â
Herman calmly replied, âRome wasnât built in a day. Let her work her way up so she can better understand the companyâs jewelry business. That way, when she takes over in the future, it will be smoother.â
Flynn suddenly understood, âAh, so youâre paving the way for her.â
Herman put down the documents in his hand and said. âShe will be the future hostess of the Salstrom familyâ
