“It's nice working with you.” Chloe smiled, stretching her hands forward for a handshake.“It's also nice working with you.” Michael smiled as they exchanged a handshake. “Let's go, Eric.” Chloe turned to Eric as she walked out of the office.Eric smiled and walked out of the office alongside Chloe, a smile on his face.He had to look for a way to make sure that the Wallace Company, under Chloe, rose to a new height. He was sure that there was opposition in her family.The only way to make her sense solid was to allow the company to make a breakthrough, and that was the first step.“Thank you once again.” Chloe's voice came just as Eric wanted to get into the car.“For what?” Eric asked, raising his head, and looking at Chloe.“For the contract, you helped me secure without breaking a sweat.” Chloe rolled her eyes as she said.“There are other ways to thank me if you're really grateful you know.” Eric winked at Chloe, getting into the car.“Shameless!” Chloe sneered, turning around n
Emily's voice broke the silence of the car that just parked in front of the company. "Hey, don't forget to pick me up on time today," she reminded, her eyes scanning Eric's fatigued face, marked by dark circles.“Yeah, I won't.” Eric managed a weary nod, stifling a yawn. Last night's restless hours had left him feeling utterly exhausted, yet there was nothing he could do about it, he has to work. Emily's insistence on an early start to her workday had dragged him out of bed, claiming he was her de facto chauffeur. Eric's weak protests fell on deaf ears, his frustration mounting as he begrudgingly accepted his role, there was nothing he could do anyway, she was his sister and he had promised to take care of her. “Huh?” Emily's shocked voice came just as Eric was about to doze off on the steering.Startled, Eric snapped to attention, glancing at Emily whose eyes widened in shock, fixed on something outside the car."What's the matter?" he asked, his heart rate quickening with concern.
As Eric parked the car, he turned to Chloe, a casual shrug accompanying his words, "Well, this is where I was coming, I have some little business to attend here."Curiosity piqued, Chloe nodded, unbuckling her seat belt to join Eric outside. Just then, a voice interrupted their exit, "Sir." It was Logan."Logan." Eric smiled seeing it was Logan."Good morning ma'am." Logan looked at Chloe and greeted with a smile on his face."Good morning." Chloe replied looking at Eric suspiciously.The way Logan was looking at her was as though she was Eric's wife. Besides, the respect in his voice towards Eric, she could tell that it was genuine.What was she going to do? But what she didn't know was that Eric could care less about all these. He claimed to have a lot of things in his mind, so he wasn't that concerned."Logan, did the remaining shareholders of the company contact you?" Eric questioned bringing Logan to the side so they could discuss."Yeah they did. There are about four of them. Th
"Eric!" Anna cried out in joy seeing who it was.But the next moment, her mood immediately dampened as she remembered that her father was here and her elder brother who wanted to take her daughter away for their own selfishness.Even if Eric could fight, there was no way he could fight her family. It was not as though they could fight, but rather would sue him if he should hit them any of them. Also, no matter how rich Eric was, there was no way he would be richer than her family. Though her family was only a second-rate family, they still had a lot of backing and Eric would be in trouble if he tried to help them."Who are you?" Bruce frowned looking at Eric who had waltzed in with Chloe behind him."You should ask my mother." Eric chuckled looking at Anna."So you have another bastard of a son? Well that doesn't change anything?" Bruce sneered."I...""Bang!" A loud sound resounded throughout the room, followed by a groan of pain."I'm not a bastard. Besides, you don't talk to me th
“Pick it and hear what it says.” Eric chuckled, glancing at them.“And why do we have to follow what you say?” The old man frowned, staring at Eric.“Well that's your decision, I'm not forcing you to take the call. It's all your choice, either you pick the call or you just leave it and allow it to ring, which I'm sure you don't dare to.” Eric laughed.“Fine.” The old man gritted his teeth looking at Eric and then picked the call.“Old man, how dare you involve the Wallace family in our deal?” An angry voice came from the other end of the phone.“Didn't I warn you to keep everything secret as much as you can? Yet, you still let that useless granddaughter of yours babble around and spill the beans to that bitch from the Wallace family.”“From today henceforth, you can consider all the activities between the Coleman's family and our Adam's family has ended. Don't even think about trying to come to me, or else I'll make my men break those useless bones in your body.” The voice from the ot
"Michael, do you know where Denver is?" Eric's voice rang through the phone."Yes, sir. I'll send you his address right away," Michael replied with efficiency."Alright, thanks. I'll be waiting," Eric acknowledged before ending the call.He had called Micheal just as he walked outside the house. He was sure that Micheal was going to know where Denver was and even if he didn't know, he was going to track him.It was not something hard to do, with his knowledge, he could do it in less than thirty minutes, so he was not too worried.But much to his luck, Micheal knew where Denver was and now, he was heading there.Soon, a text message lit up Alex's phone. Glancing at the address, Alex couldn't help but chuckle before slipping into his car.Thankfully, Denver's location was conveniently close to Brookside, just a thirty-minute drive away.Eric was certain Denver hadn't taken his promise to meet seriously when he hung up. But Eric wasn't bluffing; he fully intended to follow through. Howev
"Eric, you're back." Natalie said in shock looking at Eric, then at the person standing beside him.Seeing him, her expression changed and it was as though she should go forward and beat him up. She wouldn't be in all these if it was not for this bastard.Though Eric had helped settle it, there were still other issues on the floor and she wanted to settle it, but there was no way she would be able to settle.Eric was not going to admit it and even her parents wouldn't believe her."So Denver, Let's get started." Eric chuckled, ignoring Natalie's anger and turned to look at Denver who was staring at Chloe with a frown.He had gone to Old man Simon and then told him to follow him to the Addams family house.On the way, he had told the old man to help him convince the head of Adam's family that he and Denver were friends and that he wanted to take him out.When they got out, Eric activated his Verbal cannon and also his hypnosis, making the old man of Adam believe what Eric had said.The
"I'm very sorry Chloe, I'm sorry I called you a bitch. I'm the bitch not you." Denver apologized quickly, knowing well that things were not going to end well if he didn't apologize."And her too" Eric's evil voice came and he couldn't help but shiver."I'm sorry Natalie for all the trouble I have caused you. I swear in my life, never would I try it again in my life," Denver faced Natalie and apologized."And them too." Eric said, as he wasn't ready to let him off."I'm very much sorry for putting you in tension over my unreasonable demands. Never in my life would I do something like that." Denver grittred his teeth as he apologized to Natalie's father and mother."It's fine, we didn't hold it against you." Bradford said with a smile and then turned to look at Eric with a look of gratitude in his eyes.If not for this young man, who knew what his wife's father would have done with his daughter.Eric was a good and capable person that he couldn't wait to get his daughter married to as
