Chapter 124 He Really Did Tore His Temper

“Now, although I am staying under someone else’s roof, it doesn’t mean I have nowhere else to go. If

you’re really bothered by my presence, Lean move out right now! You know well that I can still survive

without the help of the Swan family,”

She was no longer the person who would be left helpless without shelter.

This was also thanks to Eric; if he hadn’t pushed her, Eileen wouldn’t know how much she could

endure.

She could live in an ordinary house and wear ordinary clothes. Even if she had to sleep on the streets,

she could still survive.

People can change.

Eric knew that she wasn’t joking. Eileen had indeed changed, from an ignorant little princess who knew

nothing about the world to someone who dared to contradict him.

Eric let go of her. “Having confidence is a good thing, Eileen, but don’t forget that your last

many name is Swan! Do you know what the Swan family has done behind the scenes or how enemies

they have? Once you lose the protection of the Swan family, do you think you can survive? Do you

want to be sold as a prostitute to anyone who can afford it, or do you want to be sold off after your body

is used up?”

Eileen’s face changed instantly. It would be a lie if she were to claim she wasn’t afraid.

He was never gentle with her.

Even for Will, if she died, it wouldn’t be any loss to him as she was just a tool.

“Do you think having Jasper around makes you safe? You’re nothing but a plaything for him to pass the

time. Do you really think you can join the Smith family? Don’t overestimate yourself! Think it over

outside, then come back in.”

Eileen never thought she could have a relationship with Jasper.

As Eric’s figure disappeared down the corridor, the sensor light above went out, leaving Eileen

concealed in the darkness.

Eric didn’t know what he was doing.

He had indeed lost his temper.

Watching her being intimate with another man felt like something that belonged to him was being taken

away.

Eileen!

He Really Did Lose His Temper

Che didn’t want her, he wouldn’t allow anyone to covet her.

If her heart didn’t belong to him, he wouldn’t allow her to give her heart to someone

Otherwise, he wouldn’t mind ruining her!

At half past midnight, Eileen sat alone downstairs in the condominium complex, her mind blank. She

didn’t know what she was thinking.

It felt as though a thread had been broken, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t mend it.

Shortly after, she noticed a pair of black sneakers in her lowered line of sight. A defiant voice came

from above, “Oh, have you been kicked out?”

Eileen didn’t need to lift her head to instantly recognize the voice.

Seeing her looking disheartened, dressed so thinly that her hands had turned blue from the cold, Elm

dropped the cigarette from his mouth. He took off his black windbreaker and placed it directly over her

head.

“What are you doing here?”

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that? I was walking on the road, minding my own business, when I thought I

saw a ghost. If it weren’t for the fact that you promised to tutor me, I wouldn’t have even bothered.”

Eileen shifted her body slightly, took off his jacket, and set it aside. “Don’t worry about me. Just go

back!”

“Pfft. If you die, I’ll end up as a suspect!”

Elm sat down beside her and crossed his legs.

A faint scent of tobacco mixed with the aroma of alcohol, stimulating her sense of smell.

The combination of these two smells was truly unpleasant.

He had returned late.

Eileen really didn’t know if agreeing to tutor him was the right decision.

“You’re a Swan but got bullied by an outsider. Eileen, you used to be quite something. How come

you’ve become so weak? If you ask for my help, I might reluctantly let you stay for a night.
