Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 118 Did The Discussion Not Go Smoothly

Eileen sat in the lounge, holding a glass of hot water in her hands. She asked Gavin, “What did Eric do about Hector’s situation?”

Gavin paused at the door upon hearing her voice behind him. “Ms. Eileen, it’s better for you not to know, Mr. Snow has his own way of handling things. Rest assured that everything will be taken care of.”

After some time, a sudden commotion erupted at the door.

It seemed that someone had arrived.

Eileen wanted to step out and see, but she decided against it to avoid causing more trouble.

Suddenly, the door to the lounge swung open.

Seeing the person before her, she was so shocked that she couldn’t find words. Jasper, dressed in a smoky grey suit and exuding an air of nobility, stood right in front of her.

“Why are you here?” she stammered.

Richard, who followed behind him, explained, “Smith Corporation is the school’s largest investor, and we rushed over as soon as we heard that something had happened. However, the main reason is you, Ms. Eileen.”

“Richard, you talk too much,” Jasper scolded.

“My apologies, Mr. Smith.”

Eileen looked away, her uneasy eyes falling on him. Her hands nervously clutched the hem of her skirt. “I’m sorry for troubling you. Eric will handle this matter well. It won’t cause any trouble for the school.””

“Eileen, there’s no need for such formality between us. Your concerns have become mine. Is your hand hurt? Let me have a look.”

Jasper extended his hand, but Eileen hid hers behind her back. “I’m fine. It’s much better

now.”

“Ms. Eileen, you should let Mr. Smith take a look. He has been exceedingly worried about you these past few days,” Richard interjected.

To an outsider, those meaningful words seemed to suggest an unspeakable relationship between the two. Fortunately, there was no one else there.

Eileen slowly extended her hand.

In the next moment, Jasper pulled her over to sit down. Seeing that, Richard tactfully stepped out and closed the door behind him.
