Chapter 1010

Eric remained silent. The corner where he stood was filled with a heavy quietude.

The man’s stern features became even more evident.

“Last time, I covered for her by picking up a call from your brother lan. Trust me, if I have to keep doing this, he won’t need any prompting from me to start investigating who Patric is. It’s just that currently, he’s tied up with some issues regarding Holden and doesn’t have the time.”

The man’s fist rested against the mirror, his tone shifting into a soft lure.

“Speaking of which, perhaps it’s due to your influence, but I’ve come to find Maja quite appealing.”

“I’ve had her send the stuff to you.”

“Would’ve been easier if you did this earlier. I wouldn’t have had to risk taking lan’s call and almost revealing our whereabouts.”

A smug grin spread across the man’s face.

Eric had a gentle demeanor, and whenever he spoke to someone, it was always with kindness. Anyone who met him would never forget his face. That’s why, during their first encounter, Maja was completely awestruck by him.

It was for this reason that she insisted on meeting him during lan’s gambling agreement. Only by seeing him in person would she be able to truly let go.

“Eric, I’m entrusting her to you. Don’t pull any tricks. You know I don’t consider the consequences. If I sense something wrong, I won’t hesitate to take this woman for myself.”

The conversation faded away.
