Chapter 261: Was it… Colin’s arrangement?

Since the incident with that female celebrity trying to impersonate her, Oriel’s following had grown even more. With the surge in attention, she had spent most of her time at home playing games, yet the engagement alone was enough for her endorsement income to rival that of top actresses.Moreover, her father had bought the unit directly across from hers years ago, just so she could live more comfortably. If her parents came to visit, they could stay there, and the property was registered under her name.The real estate agent knew very well that anyone who could afford a place in this building was not short of money, but he hadn’t expected the buyer interested in the unit to be a Wilson.“And… would you like me to negotiate with them?” the agent asked carefully.Oriel rolled her eyes. “Just send me the number.”She wanted to see which arrogant rich man thought he could buy anything he wanted.Frank’s assistant called him half an hour later.“How did it go?” Frank was in his private hea

Chapter 262: Mr. Mitchell, are you Acacia’s boyfriend?

Gabriel noticed her little move and smiled, but he had to focus on the matter at hand.“I’ve highlighted a few clauses that could be disadvantageous to your career. Take a look and let me know if there’s anything you’d like to amend. I’ll personally negotiate with Ashly Mall Group’s internal staff.”Eranthe hadn’t expected such a bold move.But being a diligent worker, she politely reminded him, “I don’t think there’s much room to change this contract.”For someone like her, even a position as Head of Administration was already impressive. But to senior management, one more person or one less person didn’t make much difference.“Does Miss Taylor really think that way? If so, then why is the one sitting here you, and not someone else?” Gabriel adjusted his glasses.“Don’t forget, Miss Taylor,” he continued, “it was you who brought Ashly Mall into the Chamber of Commerce event. You have every right to request the conditions we just discussed—your salary, vacation, profit-sharing structu

Chapter 263: Trying to annoy her?

“I won’t die.”Listen to that tsundere tone. Clearly wanting concern, but too stubborn to ask for it.Eranthe had learned his push-and-pull tendencies well.“Oh, fine. I’ll hang up then.”“Do you even have a conscience?” His voice deepened.Eranthe stopped in her tracks. “Are you scolding me?”Colin choked. “I’m not!”“You refuse to leave my place, yet I give you medicine, and you still scold me?” She locked the office door, raising an eyebrow. “Mr. Rodriguez, consider this your red-card warning.”“…” Colin’s scalp tingled.Eranthe headed to the restroom, touching up her makeup. Seeing him still silent, she continued, “Also, I’m single. I go home whenever I want.”“…”Colin leaned back on the sofa, listening as she added, “If you don’t take the medicine, fine, suit yourself.”He could at least be thankful she hadn’t said something like “if you die, I won’t mourn you.”But to prevent more aggravating comments, he cut her off decisively.“If you’re not home by 9 p.m., I’ll send someone

Chapter 264: Any of them would be dangerous to offend

She fixed her gaze on Jennifer with a cold, challenging tone. “Director O’Halloran, come sit here. Don’t keep Mr. Turner waiting.”Jennifer slammed the wine glass onto the table.Vice President Hill cleared his throat. “Bob, switch places with Jennifer.”Jennifer gave a fake smile. “As expected of our Eranthe.”“Director O’Halloran is too polite. Today’s star is Mr. Turner. I wouldn’t dare compete,” Eranthe said.She patted the chair, and as Jennifer walked over, Bob sat down as if granted a great pardon.Jennifer reached Eranthe’s side. The two women exchanged glances full of sharp tension, sparks practically flying from their eyes.“You think you can keep smiling for long?” Jennifer whispered.Eranthe pulled the chair slightly away. “Better than disgusting some intern to entertain guests. You and your little clique are just as repulsive as ever.”With that, Eranthe ignored Jennifer completely and sat down.Just as the tension at the table peaked, the door to the private room opened.

Chapter 265: What kind of history between you and Mr. Rodriguez?

Jennifer thought she was nothing like Eranthe, and had no right to push herself around.Ignoring Vice President Hill’s words, Jennifer stayed silent. The only person keeping a smile was Eranthe.Jacob set down his glass—clearly done with the conversation.Vice President Hill, after flattering Jacob all day, couldn’t allow Jennifer to cause trouble at this critical moment. He warned, “Jennifer, are you feeling unwell?”Someone tugged at Jennifer. She forced a smile. “Mr. Turner, I toast you.”Eranthe continued eating, ignoring Jennifer’s gaze.Elsewhere, Colin had dressed, fed Elsa, and received a call from Chole.“Mr. Rodriguez.”“Where is she?” Since Eranthe refused to tell him where she went, Colin had to learn by other means.Chole gave him the address. “A few people initially tried to force her to drink. Miss Taylor found a way to make them lose face. It seems Jacob isn’t trying to pressure her at all.”Colin remained silent—already a sign of his rising anger.Coupled with his col

Chapter 266: You work at Ashly Mall too?

Jennifer turned sharply to Eranthe. “Eranthe, you tell him. Do you have some history with Mr. Rodriguez or not?”Eranthe smiled lightly. “Mr. Rodriguez? Who doesn’t know him? But Mr. Rodriguez may not even recognize me. I don’t know who told Director O’Halloran that. You say it doesn’t matter. There’s plenty of news about Mr. Rodriguez—don’t tarnish the Rodriguez Family’s name, okay?”“Everyone knows it. Our company being able to collaborate with the Rodriguez Family on Chamber of Commerce events is thanks to government trust and all our employees’ efforts, right, Mr. Hill?”Vice President Hill still couldn’t tell whether Eranthe had any real connection with Colin. He had to take Ana’s words with a grain of salt.But now it seemed Colin wasn’t giving Eranthe any special treatment—if anything, it looked like someone had offended him. Could it be that by calling Eranthe tonight, he had crossed him?It appeared that, in Colin’s mind, Eranthe mattered more than he had thought—after all, s

Chapter 267: Do you or don’t you?

Colin gestured toward the door. “Everyone else, out. This isn’t a meeting for outsiders. This is a negotiation between two companies—why are there random people here?”“Don’t tell me that if I don’t show up today, you think you can treat the Rodriguez Family like fools?”Erantha blushed and got up to leave. As she passed by Eranthe, she lowered her head in embarrassment.Eranthe noticed that Colin seemed unusually angry today. Normally, even in situations like this, he wouldn’t be so relentless.Colin’s temper flared easily. At home, he could keep a low profile, but if people tried to undermine him here… who had they offended?Once Erantha left, no one dared speak.Jennifer was on the verge of tears.If Colin were the type to pity women, he wouldn’t have been called ruthless behind his back.“Why are you crying? I’m the one being slandered, and you’re the one crying first. Fine, I have time today. Sit there and wait until you clarify yourself. Otherwise, if today you say I’m involved

Chapter 268: Didn’t I tell you not to use that name?

Taking advantage of the chaos, Erantha scrambled to her feet and fled.“Mr. Rodriguez, we should leave through the back,” someone advised.There were too many people in front, snapping photos and crowding around.“Leave one person here to wait for Eranthe,” Colin said coolly. “Don’t let her go out the front.”If those two kept fighting without restraint, she might get hurt.“Yes, sir.”Colin exited through the back door into the alley behind the restaurant.Erantha had also fled in that direction. When she came face to face with the dignified, cold-looking man, she instinctively covered her face and lowered her head.Colin paused as he passed her. “Didn’t I tell you not to use that name?”“Mr. Rodriguez.” She looked up at him, pitiful and fragile—though her face was already scratched and bruised beyond recognition.Colin had little patience. “Don’t let me see you in Assyria again.”Erantha’s expression changed instantly. “Mr. Rodriguez!”She rushed after him, but the bodyguards stoppe

Chapter 269: Don’t you dare take advantage of me

Did they install surveillance outside her door or something? How did he know Colin had already left?Besides, who said she wasn’t taking care of him? She’d just told him to stay in his own place tonight instead of constantly camping out at hers.She rinsed the rice and started cooking.About forty minutes later, she went to knock on the door next door.Colin didn’t open it.Looking at the brand-new keypad lock, Eranthe thought for a moment and entered her own apartment password.Sure enough…The electronic lock clicked open.The moment she stepped inside, she was nearly driven back out by the smell.It was like a concentrated formaldehyde disaster zone.And the entire place had already been torn apart for renovation.Eranthe wasn’t even sure Colin was still inside—no one could stand this environment.“Colin?”She hit the light switch. Probably because of the construction, the lights wouldn’t come on.She took out her phone and used the flashlight, eventually finding him in the bedroom

Chapter 270: Waiting for you to wipe my body

Eranthe thought he was just throwing a childish tantrum again, like a kid acting spoiled, so she gradually relaxed. “Then behave and lie still. I’ll stay with you.”Colin obediently nodded, then turned away and quietly bared his wolf fangs with a grimace. Damn this deadly full moon night—and this woman’s fatal attraction—it was nearly driving his wolf nature into a full-blown rampage.Eranthe went to the kitchen, poured out the soup from the insulated container, and brought back a steaming bowl of fragrant turkey shredded soup to the warm, cozy room filled with comforting aroma.Lying on the soft bed, Colin closed his eyes in satisfaction.“Don’t sleep yet. Drink the soup first to warm your stomach.”Colin was pulled up by her. She blew on the soup and fed it to his lips.His gaze instantly softened.“How does it taste?”“A bit bland.”“…”“Having anything for you to eat is already generous. Stop being picky.” Eranthe forced another spoonful into him.After finishing the soup, Colin d
