Chapter 89 Mercy

“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.

Vera went up the stairs. Seeing the tense atmosphere, Mary stammered, “Sh-Should I leave as well?”

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.

“Do my words mean nothing to you?” Eric approached her steadily, emitting a chilling aura. Even without looking at him, Eileen could sense the expression on his face in that moment.

hell.

“I haven’t forgotten, Eileen nervously wiped the cold sweat from her palms, too uneasy to meet his gaze. She further explained, “Richard came to pick me up today. I couldn’t refuse him. I took this opportunity to clarify things with him. Eric, what more do you want from me? I’ve done everything you asked. What else do you expect me to do?”

“Look up,” his voice was commanding, issuing orders.

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!”
