NovelEnglishChapter 219 Can't Let You Suffer With Dad and Mom's interference, dinner was finally able to proceed normally. After the meal, Dad and Mom pulledaside and looked atapologetically. "Jae, Jack..." I waved it off, not really bothered. But then, I noticed Jack's probing eyes on me.
Just as I was about to leave, Jack stoppedwith a look of disdain on his face. "Don't think I don't know what you've been telling Mom and Dad." I looked at him in confusion. "What could I possibly say? Don't think just because you and Elsa aren't good people that there are no good people left in this world." Jack scoffed. "You handed over such an important project to someone else so easily. You don't deserve to be a part of the Brown family." I raised an eyebrow and glanced at him indifferently. "Whether I'm a Brown or not is not for you to decide." With that, I pushed him aside and walked out.

If this had happened before, I might have tried to explain the misunderstanding. But now, all I wanted was to protect Brown Group in my own way.
As for Jack, I'd make him see Elsa's true colors eventually.
Back at home, I collapsed onto the bed. I was about to close my eyes and rest when my phone buzzed. I opened it and saw a message from Eric. "Was the trip back hsmooth?" Immediately, Jack's irritating face flashed through my mind.
I sighed. "It went okay." For sreason, even though I knew Eric was on a business trip, I couldn't help but think that if he had been with me, I wouldn't have been fighting this battle alone.
I shook the thought away, trying to push it aside. Then, I looked back at the screen where Eric had sent another message. "Next time, I'll go with you." I felt a warm sensation inside and replied with a smile. "With Jack's personality, he'd attack without discrimination." Soon, a smug emoji appeared on the screen with its arms crossed. "You still don't believe in my abilities?" Just reading the message, I could already picture Eric's confident expression and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

I sent him an emoji that had a hand under its chin and a smile on its face. "I gave you such a big gift, and this is all I get in return?" The next moment, Eric's video call cthrough.
I suddenly felt a bit nervous and quickly sat up on the bed. As I answered the call, I saw the exotic background behind Eric. Curiously, I asked, "Did you just finish your meeting?"
Eric nodded. "I just had an urgent meeting. I'm taking a breaknow! | e should be back in a couple of days."
I nodded, unsure what to say next. Though the atmosphere was a bit awkward, there was an inexplicable sense ofreassurance. We chatted casually for a while until Eric had to get ready for his next meeting, and we ended the call. After talking to Eric, the frustration I had earlier vanished, and I was able to sleep soundly.
The next morning, I arrived at the office feeling refreshed.
As soon as I stepped into the office, my assistant approached, and I was told Iwe were having another board meeting. I sighed inwardly, grabbed my laptop, and headed upstairs.
