Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 794:

Eric’s eyes narrowed sharply, fixing on Hadley as tears began to well up in her eyes. Gently, almost tenderly, he cupped her face, softly wiping the falling tears with his thumb. Yet, his voice was cold and mocking as he whispered, “Tell me, who are these tears really for?”

Hadley’s voice faltered, her body rigid as she glimpsed the wild anger burning in Eric’s gaze. Instinctively, she tightened her grip around his arm, shouting desperately, “Denver, run now!”

Her elbow collided sharply with the table edge, sending waves of pain shooting through her arm. She gasped. “Ah!”
