Jilted Bride 73

Chapter

73

Ophelia asked the security guard to pull up the surveillance footage from that night and handed the matter over to the shopping center's management.

"If it weren't for this young man, we would have both suffered losses" Ophelia stated seriously before turning to Eric.

The manager repeatedly thanked Eric after hearing this. After all, if the paint incident had truly occurred, the mall would not only face large compensation costs but also potential damage to its reputation, possibly risking his job as well.

Ophelia checked the time, realizing she needed to hurry to Mineroca that afternoon, so she didn't pursue the matter further. As she returned to the underground parking lot, she finally voiced her lingering question. "Do you know about the incident when Brock came to my store and committed suicide?"

Eric had his hands in his pockets and nodded, his bangs moving slightly. "Yeah, so I helped you guys take care of it." His tone was light, as if he were discussing dealing with an animal rather than a person.

Ophelia realized she had wronged Kenneth. She had always thought Kenneth was the one who killed Brock, but it turned out it was Eric.

Ophelia stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Eric. "You seem to have been around us a lot lately. Are you planning to keep living in that junk car?" She had noticed signs of life inside the junk car earlier.

Ophelia suggested, "How about coming to be my security guard? You can also be my driver and help Chloe take care of Wyant. I'll provide food and lodging" Seeing he remained silent, Ophelia didn't push him. "Think it over."

"Is it a good pay?" Eric blinked his crystal-clear eyes, asking in a tone reminiscent of a child querying whether a toy was expensive.
