The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1603
But that’s not enough. Eric’s mistake wasn’t big enough, so Karen had Stella get close to Eric. She wanted Stella to fall in love with Eric first, and then use that love to get Eric’s heart in return. She thought that if the two kids had a connection, someone like Eric, who was reckless and free-spirited, wouldn’t be able to resist Stella.
But surprisingly, Eric never fell for Stella, even though Karen hinted at him by letting Stella going in and out of his bathroom and room. Karen, who thought her plan was going to fail, happened to see Eric sneaking into Stella’s room late at night.
Karen followed him quietly and opened the door a cr ack. She saw Eric standing by Stella’s bed, staring at her for a long time. Then suddenly, he leaned in and lightly kissed Stella’s lips. After the kiss, he got startled, as if he had surprised himself.
Seeing Eric’s amorous behavior, Karen knew that half of her plan had succeeded. And in the following times, she even witnessed Eric becoming bolder. He would kiss Stella when she was asleep, and each time the kisses lasted longer than the previous ones, but he never went further.
Karen planned to wait for the day when Eric would make a mistake on his own, but she didn’t expect that before that happened, Thomas got into an argument with Eric’s grandfather because of

Eric’s career direction. Karen never imagined that even with Eric’s tarnished reputation, Thomas still hadn’t given up on the idea
of making him the heir. When she heard Thomas say that if Eric studied finance, he would let him take over the pack business after graduation, she panicked.
She had been planning for so many years not to push Eric to be the heir, but for her own son. Otherwise, once Eric gained power, she would be under Eric’s feet in the Sinclair pack and her status would be diminished. And who knew, the grown-up Eric, who could manipulate everything, might even try to seek revenge for his mother.
To prevent Eric from gaining power, Karen even thought about drugging him and tempting him to rape Stella. Just then, a boy named Mason happened to bring Stella home. She knew it was a great opportunity.
She quickly guided Stella to like Mason and created opportunities for them to be alone together, intentionally making Eric jealous. Karen knew that a young guy like Eric, once he became jealous, would inevitably become agitated and might do something foolish.
But Eric was surprisingly tolerant. He saw Mason coming out of Stella’s room several times and chose to turn a blind eye. What could she do? She could only push things further. When they were about to graduate from high school, she started openly and subtly urging Mason to confess his feelings to Stella.
At that time, Mason had a crush on Stella but was afraid that she
didn’t like him. Karen said that if Stella didn’t like him, she would have rejected him long ago. It was just that Stella was shy. In fact, it was Karen who advised Stella not to reject Mason, but Mason didn’t know that. He really thought that if Stella didn’t reject him, it meant she liked him. He even took Karen’s advice and confessed to Stella on a cruise ship.
When Mason took Stella onto the ship, Karen found Eric and told him that Mason was going to confess to Stella. Then they would sail around the world together. Eric was still holding back at that time. To push him further, Karen smiled at Eric and said, “I wonder if Stella will get pregnant after spending two months together. If Stella gets pregnant, she’ll mate Mason.” This made Eric furious and his face turned pale. He started cursing Stella, calling her shameless, and went crazy looking for someone.
