Chapter 107 Regret

“Eric!” Eileen raised her hand in anger, aiming to slap his face, but he anticipated her move and firmly grabbed her wrist. The man taunted lightly, “Trying to hit me, huh? You’re being naughty again!”

Eileen struggled to pull her hand back from his grip, her gaze unwavering. “I won’t submit to you. Do whatever you want! From now on… I won’t beg you anymore.”

She found her own naivety laughable. Eric’s purpose was to watch her suffer and helplessly try to survive in the Swan residence.

Eric greeted, “Father.”

“Perfect timing. I’m having a meal with Elsie. Come join us.”

“It’s all right. I still have to go to the office. I have a meeting later.”

Will put down his fork. Seeing this, Elsie handed him a handkerchief. Will wiped his mouth and tossed it aside. “Thank you for your hard work. What did the doctor say? What illness is it this time?”

Eileen lowered her head, feeling somewhat suffocated. “Father… I…”

“This doesn’t concern you. If you’re not feeling well, go upstairs and rest.”

“Alright, Father.”

Will had always treated her this way, and she had long since grown accustomed to it. In this household, she didn’t have much say.

Eileen walked to the staircase when suddenly, Will’s voice echoed from behind. “I heard you’ve switched classes?”

“Yes.”
