"The one who's wrong is you. Just because your voice is louder, does that make everything someone else's fault? "Scarlett was unable to retort under Eranthe's questioning, losing face again.She gritted her teeth and said, "You just refuse to admit your improper behavior. You clearly have a relationship with Matthew. The matter isn't so serious, yet you insist on using the threat of me going to jail to intimidate me, just to gain favor with Matthew's cousin!"Eranthe directly took Scarlett's phone, glanced at the person who sent her the message—Zora."Give me back my phone!" Scarlett shouted.Adrian, seeing her still wanting to take action, pulled her away and threw her on the sofa. Scarlett was stunned. When had Adrian treated her like this from childhood to now?"Adrian! You're helping these two foxes bully me!"After Scarlett finished speaking, she grabbed her backpack and tried to rush out.Urania stepped forward. "Scarlett, where are you going?"Scarlett turned to stare at her.

After a round of adjustments, she finally returned to bed but struggled to find sleep. It wasn't until around 3 AM that Eranthe, in a drowsy state, fell into slumber.The next morning, she nearly overslept.As she approached the company's entrance, she accidentally collided with someone, causing her commuter bag to fall, spilling its contents."I'm sorry." The young man bowed his head to help pick up the items. He wore a mask, and Eranthe didn't pay much attention to him, focusing on packing her things."It's okay," she replied, heading straight to the door and making it in the last minute for the clock-in."You finally made it. I thought you were going to be late," Acacia teased as Eranthe sat down, catching her breath."The Planning Department has already refined several plans. I reviewed them, and they look good. Shall we go to their company today?" Acacia suggested."Sure, I'll check which one is in our district. We can start with that," Eranthe replied after catching her breath.

Colin was tall, a fact Eranthe had always known, but as she stood on the steps of the police station, meeting his gaze only when they were almost at eye level, Eranthe suddenly understood why she was able to get out.She also realized that all those mysterious calculations would dissipate because of the favor of this man in front of her.An indescribable emotion echoed in her heart. In this vulnerable moment, a strong wall of defense rose within her.Her vision started to blur, and as she opened her mouth, she found her nose tingling. Colin sheltered her under the umbrella, extending his hand to gently squeeze the hand clutching her clothes.The raindrops, illuminated by the car lights, seemed exceptionally clear.It was also evident how warm Colin's extended hand was, radiating a force that helped her out.If it weren't for the people around, Eranthe really wanted to throw herself into his arms."Mr. Rodriguez," Gabriel stated solemnly, "I'll leave her in your care. Contact me if nee

Colin covered her eyes. "Sleep. I've got everything under control."Eranthe suddenly felt her eyes becoming warm. The feeling of being unconditionally trusted, something she desperately needed. "Colin.""Hmm?""You're really kind."Colin hugged her tightly, and as Eranthe smelled the refreshing scent from his body, she peacefully drifted into dreamland.After she was sound asleep, Colin got up from the bed quietly, covered her eyes with the blanket, and closed the door.The kitten was still lingering near the door, hesitating to go downstairs. Colin took it downstairs with him and, before leaving, looked at the cat. "Behave at home."It sounded like he was talking to the cat, but it also seemed like an unspoken message to the woman upstairs.When Colin arrived on the second floor of the club, Frank had just poured the drinks.Seeing Colin, he nodded towards a man kneeling on the floor – the person he was looking for.Colin casually sat on the leather sofa, and the man had been beaten

Eranthe was not someone to be pushed around. She had never actively harmed anyone. The Peterson's was unlucky, and she was almost tempted to celebrate with a bottle of wine. As for the eventual fate of the Miller's and the Peterson's, she believed that the law would provide a fair judgment.At the same time, she suddenly remembered a comment Dylan made about Colin: ruthless and definitely not the gentleman he appeared to be. People who offended him had a miserable fate.Eranthe recalled her recent temper with Colin, and an inexplicable chill ran down her spine.Today, after smoothly signing the contract and receiving news of Alice's arrest, when Eranthe returned home, she was still in a relaxed and pleasant mood.Colin hadn't contacted her all day, and she naturally wouldn't take the initiative to ask if he was coming.After removing her makeup, applying a face mask, and choosing a movie to watch, she picked up her phone for a casual browse.Acacia, after yesterday's scare, was back t
