Chapter 480:

Eric, stirred by Clinton’s words, was seething with anger. But when he saw Sloane standing nearby, looking so vulnerable, he realized it wouldn’t look good for him to ignore her in front of everyone. As the heir to the Watson family, he had to be careful about how he was seen in public.
