Chapter 510
Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You can’t afford me now
Chapter 510:
Hadley recoiled, shocked by his sudden aggression.
Nearby, Denver, witnessing the tense exchange, stepped in quickly.
âEric, youâve got it wrong. Hadley had an accident last night. I was merely helping her get to the hospitalâ¦â
âShut up!â
Ericâs eyes blazed with anger as he turned towards Denver.
âAnd you!â
In a swift motion, he seized Denver by the shirt collar.
âThinking you can touch my girlfriend? Youâre really looking for trouble!â
Mid-sentence, Eric swung his fist, connecting forcefully with Denver.
Denver, still unbalanced, couldnât retaliate and crumpled to the ground, his complexion paling from the shock of the blow.
âDenver!â
Hadley cried out in horror.
Witnessing Denverâs fall, she was overwhelmed by a sense of doom.
Did misfortune befall everyone who showed her kindness?
Acting on impulse, she stepped in front of Denver, attempting to shield him from Eric.
She then raised her eyes to Eric. âStop! Everything Denver told you is accurate!â
Her gaze desperate, she suddenly clung to Ericâs legs. âDenver, run! Get out of here!â
âHadley?â Denver paused, reluctant to leave. âWhat if he turns on you?â
âHe wonât do it!â Hadley pleaded urgently. âPlease, just leave! He wonât strike me.â

She was confident that Eric, despite his quick temper, would not harm a woman.
âLeave now! Staying will only complicate things further!â
With her insistent pleas, Denver was eventually pulled away by his driver.
Eric gazed at Hadley, who was still clinging to his legs, feeling a profound bitterness swelling within him.
âHadley! Youâre supposed to be my girlfriend! How do you think this looks? Do you even see me as your boyfriend anymore?â
The thought was unbearable. âYou were with Denver all night. What exactly happened between you two? Hmm?â
Did it mirror the times they had spent together, sharing hugs, kisses, and more⦠The mere idea inflamed him with jealousy!
âHadley! Have you lost your senses? To go this far for Denver? If he was really dependable, he wouldnât have let you fall into Wilmaâs trap!â
His disappointment was evident, his gaze cold and distant.
âEric.â
Hadleyâs heart skipped a beat, alarmed by the intensity in his gaze.
What kind of expression was that? It reminded her of someone who had caught their spouse cheating. That must have been how Eric felt. She clasped his arm anxiously. âPlease, you have to believe me, I didnât betray you! I was really just at the hospital all night!â
âIs that so?â
âYes!â Hadley responded, her head bobbing vigorously.
âNo, that canât be true!â
