Eric gave her a deep, mysterious look, his eyes resembling a bottomless abyss.

Ever since Vera returned from abroad, she had never been fond of Undella Mansion, especially the
way Will looked at her.
“Do you not like it here?”
“Not at all.” Vera shook her head.
However, Eric noticed the hesitation on her face.
“Did something happen? You can tell me.”
Eric’s gaze seemed as if it could see right through her.
Vera seemed flustered as she lowered her gaze. She quickly grabbed her skirt and said, “It’s nothing,
Eric. You’re overthinking it.” After she finished speaking, she leaned forward and quickly kissed Eric on
the cheek. Her cheeks flushed pink, similar to that of a young girl’s shy blush. “Goodnight, Eric. I’m
going in first.”
Vera opened the car door and, as if she had done something wrong, hurriedly ran off.

Vera had returned, so he had also returned.
Eric walked in with an air of icy aloofness, one hand in his pocket. He placed the keys he was holding
in the entryway. His gloomy eyes briefly met Elsie’s in the kitchen before quickly looking away.
“Back from your date with your girlfriend?” Elsie was dressed in a purple nightgown, her cleavage
visible through the thin fabric, along with her sensuous curves. It was obvious that she was wearing

her at all!”

But Eric didn’t confirm Elsie’s remark about him liking Eileen, nor did he deny it.
Elsie tried to discern something from the depths of his eyes, but he hid it too well. She couldn’t see
anything at all, only feeling her own heart filled with sorrow,
“Jealous?” Eric moved past her to place the water glass on the table. He then pulled a handkerchief
from his suit pocket, wiping his hands as if they had been soiled by something. After he was done
wiping, he tossed it onto the table.
Elsie curled her lips into a smile. “Indeed! If the man I’ve set my sights on doesn’t want to be with me.
I’m definitely going to be jealous.”
Eric’s eyes were cold as he gave her a sidelong glance. “So, after all these years by my side, is this all
you’ve observed? It’s a shame that I prefer someone pure.”
With a few casual words, a wave of sorrow suddenly swept through Else’s eyes. Her heart arhed.

Indeed, she had been tainted for a long time now and was go
“Stop looking at me like that. It’s disgusting.”
The words were originally from Eileen. He never thought there would come a day when he would
repeat them to someone else.
It actually made him feel somewhat amused.
Even if Eileen went to the Smith family, he had hundreds of ways to bring her back.
“Eric, don’t forget, we are the same kind of people. No matter how well you protect Vera, if

what about Eileen… If she knew that you’ve gone to great lengths to infiltrate the Swan family, for the
sole purpose of bringing about their ruin, don’t you think she would the Smith family to crush you?”
Eric replied, “Let her try. We’ll see who dies first!”
The next day was the weekend.
Eric had agreed to go on an amusement park date with Vera.
The scene of the two on a date was secretly captured, and the photos were laid out of one in front of
Will.

gently rubbing his back to soothe him. “Will,” she said, “Eric is not a child anymore. They’ve grown up
together since they were little. It’s perfectly normal for childhood friends to develop feelings for each
other.”
“Get out of my sight!”
Elsie was driven out of the study.
Will immediately made a call to the office. “From now on, let him personally handle all projects related
to the Friedman Group.”
Gavin, who was at the other end of the line, replied, “Yes, Mr. Swan.”
Although Eric was now in charge of Caerulus Corporation, Will still maintained control of the company.
While at the amusement park, Eric received a call from Gavin, but he decided to ignore it.

Eric spoke a few words before ending the call.
Vera said with a tinge of guilt, “Did I interrupt your work? If so, Eric, maybe we should go
back.”
“No need to worry about it,” Eric replied, turning off his phone. “What would you like to do
next?”
“Do you really plan on spending the entire day with me, Eric?”
“Have I ever broken a promise to you?”
“Eric, I love you so much.” Vera’s lips were covered in ice cream. Due to the height dif she stood on
tiptoes and quickly kissed Eric’s cheek. “Let’s go ride… the Ferris wheel!’
