Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 176 They Are Together Now

Eric finally stood up from her and exclaimed, “Get out!”

Eileen, already dressed, swiftly exited the car without hesitation. She didn’t even bother taking the medicine she had brought back from the hospital.

Sharon was still tidying up the living room when she saw Eileen rush in from outside. Eileen. appeared as though she had been crying. “What’s wrong, Eileen?”

Eileen remained silent, gripping the stair railing tightly as she ran upstairs.

After that night, Eric was nowhere to be seen from New Year’s Day and the following four or five days.

On the day they left, Eileen was chatting with relatives who had come to visit for the holidays. Vera left together with Eric.

At that moment. Eileen hurried to the kitchen, fearing that her father would ask her to see them off.

With that, she spent the holidays in peace.

During the company’s annual dinner that year, her father personally presided over it. As the heiress of Caerulus Corporation, Eileen appeared alongside him. Eileen, dressed in a stunning attire, captivated everyone present. Besides her, there were several other bosses. whose companies were partners of Caerulus Corporation.

Rather than calling it a company annual dinner, it would be more accurate to say that it was Will’s attempt to find her a new suitor. If she couldn’t marry into the Smith family, finding another match of equal social standing and capable of forming a mutually beneficial alliance with Caerulus Corporation was also an acceptable outcome.

After all, the Smith family was equivalent to dozens of Swan families combined. For the Smith family, associating with the Swan family was indeed a step up.

No man could resist the allure of Eileen’s beauty, not even the most debauched young scions. Even older men of Will’s age couldn’t help but cast salacious gazes at her.

Eileen detested such occasions. She didn’t want to be there, but she had no choice.

She mingled with several wealthy young scions, exchanging contact information with them.

Will had already gone off to chat with others. Eileen, feeling alone and fearing harassment, found an excuse to go to the restroom, using it as a convenient hiding place.

She didn’t return until the banquet was almost over.

On the way back, Eileen sat in a car that reeked of alcohol. She had only been away for 3 short while. Yet she couldn’t understand why Will looked so upset. Eileen was afraid of him. She thought her father was angry because she hadn’t shown up at the banquet.

With a trembling hand, Eileen clutched the hem of her dress and sincerely apologized, “I’m sorry… Father!”

“How much do you know about what’s going on between Eric and Vera?”

“Huh?” Eileen was taken aback, and after a moment, she said, “I’m not sure. What happened, Father?”

Will pinched the bridge of his nose, his expression grave. He remained silent, and Eileen didn’t ask any further.
