“Vera, please go upstairs and rest for a while.”

Vera glanced at Eric, then at Eileen, “Eric, Eileen just had a fright. Please don’t intimidate. her.”

Vera didn’t like it when Eric was alone with Eileen. Sometimes, she couldn’t help but wonder if Eric truly had feelings for her.

If he doesn’t like me, then what about the things he said to me?

Vera had never truly heard Eric express his affection for her.

This made her feel incredibly insecure.

Eric shot her a sharp, icy glance, which frightened Mary so much that she immediately turned around and ran away.

Until there were only two people left in the living room.

An oppressive chill hung in the air, so heavy that it left Eileen struggling to breathe.

Eileen lifted her head, staring into his dark, piercing eyes. There was an intimidating aura

about him.

Eric chuckled lightly. “Do you know where your biggest flaw lies, Eileen? I don’t appreciate it when you lie to me!”
