Chapter 119 This Minor Injury Won’t Kill Me

Upon receiving a call from the school, Eric immediately canceled his meeting and rushed over. In reality, Gavin could have handled the matter on his own. There was no need for Eric to personally show up.

Gavin hesitated before saying, “Do you really want to expel Hector from school and sentence him to ten years in prison? As far as I know, all of this was caused by Ms. Eileen.”

Eric stared at him intently before looking out the window. A cold aura surrounded him. “Do you think it’s her fault too?”

Suddenly, Gavin realized he had said something he shouldn’t have. He lowered his head and murmured, “I would never dare.”

“After all these years, don’t forget who you’re working for!” Eric asserted firmly as he stood up from his chair. He gave the man a cold and sharp gaze before turning and walking away. Just as he reached the door, Gavin declared, “I serve only you.”

The moment he decided to keep me by his side back then, my life was destined to be his. He was the one who gave me a second chance at life.

Eric stopped in his tracks. “I’m not the one paying your salary!”

In the lounge, Eileen stood up, avoiding Jasper’s gaze.

“Eric should be done discussing things. I’ll go and take a look,” she said.

She opened the door, barely faltering in her steps. In her other hand, she held the salve given. by Jasper.

Eric was smoking on the balcony while waiting for her. Apart from social obligations, Eileen rarely saw him smoke.

Gavin alerted him to her presence, and Eric extinguished the half-smoked cigarette on the guardrail.

Eileen watched him approach. Her gaze then shifted to Jasper, who also exited the lounge. For some reason, she felt guilty, as though she had been caught doing something wrong.
