At Caerul Corporation, Gavin entered the CEO’s offer and noticed that the person inside was on the

phone He quietly stood to the side.

The man emitted an air of seriousness, his narrow, somber eyes exuding a chilling aura. Gavin could

hear Vera’s voice on the phone her panicked and fear lul sobs. Eric responded with icy indifference,

“ ou don’t need to know about things you shouldn’t ask”

“Eric, you’ve changed. ou’re becoming more and more terrifying to me,” said Vera.

The call ended, and the beep beep beep sound rang out

Eric put away his phone and red around. What’s up?”

Gavin reported. The Sumth family has mitated an investigation Should we take action?

Eric walked over to his desk, sat down, and leaned back in his chair. His fingers intertwined over his

legs. and he bowed his head in deep thought. “Don’t worry about it, he said.

“If Jasper actually discovers something, you could be in danger.”

Eric grinned his eyes gleaming with thought provoking intensity. Tm actually afraid that he won’t find

anything. I have this matter under control. ou may leave How.

Gavin nodded. es.

At school. Eileen had just returned from the cafeteria, with atalie following behind her . Suddenly, they

saw Vera running down from upstairs. her eyes filled with tears.

Vera quickly glanced at Eileen, then hurried off to her class. Eileen noticed that Vera was wiping away

tears with one hand while holding a mobile phone in the other. Was she calling Eric Besides Eric, no

one else could make Veru cry.

atalie asked. What’ s wrong with her?”

Eileen remained silent..

Eileen, have some milk. atalie took out two cans of milk from her pocket and handed them to Eileen,

making it impossible for Eileen to refuse. It seemed like atalie had taken over all of Eileen’ s snacks.

The desk was filled with a variety of snacks, all of which atalie had secretly placed in Eileen’ s desk.

Eileen was about to return to the classroom for her lesson when suddenly, a voice called out to her

from the end of the comidor. Eileen, stop right there!

Calliope approached with an imposing presence. She wasn’t wearing a school uniform but a stylish

crop top instead. Her slender, straight legs peeked out from beneath her pleated skirt. Her hair was

dyed red. and her makeup was quite dramatic Accompanying her were Albert and Charlie.

the three of them approached, Fileen detected a strong scent of alcohol coming from Calliope.

Gathering her courage, atalie stepped forward to confront Calliope With a fierce and determined look

I’ll report you to the teacher.

Charlie chuckled. How old are you, kiddo? I can’t believe you’re still drinking milk. Go play over there. I

have something to discuss with your Eileen.

The enemy was too ruthless, resorting to personal attacks aganist her Feeling wronged, atalie cried

out,

“Eileen ”

“Eileen, where on earth has Elm gone! Why isn’t he answering my calls? It’s been so long and there’s

no sign of him” Calliope’s voice echoed through the hallway, causing the passing students to keep their

distance.

Their surroundings were filled with curious gazes.

Let’s talk somewhere else, suggested Eileen

The group arrived at the school’s aruficial lake. The sound of the class bell echoed from the sports

field. and they sat on the wooden benches.

Calliope asked. “Can I speak now!

Eileen quietly watched the swans swimming in the lake. He has gone abroad.

Albert furrowed his brows and asked, “Wait, why would he suddenly go abroad? Does this have

anything to

do with your

Eileen remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.

The most heartbroken one was Calliope. She suddenly stood up, walked over to Eileen, and demanded

fiercely. Where is he now? I’m booking a flight right away.”

After a long slence. Albert spoke up. Was it Jasper’s decision?”

Eileen responded. Actually, leaving isn’t necessarily a bad thing for him. I can’t merfere in their affairs

He has done a lot for me, and I will slowly repay him for everything. As a friend. I genuinely hope that

1 Elm can start a new and better life ma new place From Jasper’s perspective, our current relationship

should not involve any interaction, even if it’s just about Elm I shouldn’t mention anything about u

jasper has made compromises for me, and I don’t want to let him down. Elm’s departure. Furuly sorry,

but I believe the day will come when you will mert again. He will also live a good life

Everyone had their own perspective Some people, upon seeing Elm being forced to leave, placed all

the blame on Jasper’s ruthlessness.

However, Jasper also needed the company of his family and loved ones.

Everything was the result of an unhappy marriage.

Richard told Eileen that she was the only farmly Jasper had left.

When Elm and Ruth were mally sent abroad, John, in a in of anger, went to the Smith residener and

lapped Jasper

The next day Jotin went abroad with them, even though John was also Jasper’s father

erhaps John felt indebted to Elrn and his mother , as over the years, they had become more like a

family.

However, John forgot that the other one was also his son.

The burden Jasper carried was not just the responsibility of being a son but also the weight of the

entire Smith Corporation.

In everyone’s eyes, Jasper was unattainable, his power overwhelning. He could do whatever he

wanted without any constraints.

et, what outsiders didn’t realize was that beyond all that, he was also a human being with his own

emotions.

He also had a need for the company of those around him.

Eileen still remembered that night when Jasper held her in his arms, his voice tinged with a hint of

sadness. It was a side of him she had never seen before. The room was dark, but Eileen could still

imagine. what Jasper must have looked like at that moment.

He said. “From now on, I only have you”

Eileen’s heart was stirred, and a warm droplet trickled down her neck.

He was crying while trembling.

At that moment, he resembled a forsaken child wandering the streets, with no place to call home.

Eileen was unsure of what to do.

All she could do was embrace him tightly, offering him warmth and solace.

They were kindred spirits, after all

That night, Eileen couldn’t sleep a wink

She didn’t even comprehend her own thoughts.

Calliope persistently attempted to extract the whereabouts of Elm from Eileen.

Eileen’s response consisted of just three words. “I don’t know.”

What she uttered was indeed the truth.

ou better not deceive me, or I won’t let you off the hook,” threatened Calliope.

Fileen simply gazed at Calliope serenely. “If you genuinely love him, respect his choices. One day, he

will

return to you.

Charlie chuckled. “Eileen, are you genuinely oblivious or merely feigning ignorance? Hasn’t Elm always

had feelings for you?”

Calope snapped, “Shut up!”

up!“

Chaise an eyebrow Calliope, stop deluding yourself. Whether Elm is sincere or deserving you you
