Chapter 189 Make A Choice For You

The events of last night in the safety corridor kept distracting Eileen during the morning. classes for

some reason.

She couldn’t stop thinking about his words either.

Eileen didn’t want to overthink things. Pondering certain matters further held no meaning.

Clearing her mind of distractions, Eileen realized she had lost track of where the teacher was in the

lecture as she stared at the blackboard.

The first lesson passed in a daze.

Sitting in the front row by the window, Eileen heard voices from behind. They were Yver and Vera.

Vera received a gold-embossed red invitation. “As the future heiress of the Friedman far. I’m extending

this invitation to you and Eric. Friedman Group will host a banquet this weekend. I hope both of you can

attend on time.”

Vera had never received such a valuable invitation. She looked at it and then tilted her head, smiling

slightly at Yvette. “I’m sorry, Yvette, but I don’t know much about the company. I’ll pass this to Eric,

though. If he wants to go, I’ll accompany him.”

“Okay! When the time comes, dress a bit more formally. Don’t embarrass the Swan family.”

Vera’s face turned pale, and there was no significant emotion on her face.

After Yvette finished speaking, she gave the invitation to Eileen. “Here, this is for you. Now that you’re

with Jasper, you might be my sister-in-law in the future. Regarding the previous incident, Jasper has

already reprimanded me. Don’t worry. I won’t mention Elm’s matters. anymore! Please pass this to

Jasper. I hope he’ll attend no matter what.”

Yvette’s tone was noticeably different when speaking to Eileen and Vera. With Vera, she was assertive,

and her tone always carried a hint of displeasure.

On the other hand, she seemed to back down in front of Eileen, and her tone was softer, like a

conversation between friends.

Eileen told her, “I will convey your message.”

“Thank you.”

The only one who could make the proud Yvette bow her head was Jasper and Jasper’s girlfriend,

Eileen.

Yvette returned to her seat.

company, why is Yvette handling it? We are just high school students who haven’t graduated yet. What

could Yvette’s plan be?

In fact, Yvette’s purpose was simple and thoughtful..

She simply didn’t like Vera, especially since she found out that Eric was with this pretentious. woman.

She finally set her eyes on a man, only to have him taken by Vera in advance.

Moreover, Yvette has always been proud, growing up under the admiration of others. It wouldn’t be an

exaggeration to say she was the apple of her parents eyes,

She just wanted to show Vera the difference between them.

The Swan family was somewhat influential in Hulbury, but Vera was an orphan whe under the Swan

family’s roof.

Eric was a scheming man with a strong ambition for success. If he wanted to achieve his career goals,

she believed she would be the best choice for him.

Vera’s good looks and good grades were worthless.

Without power or influence, it was nearly impossible to make any progress in Hulbury, where there was

no shortage of talent and beautiful women.

Vera wasn’t her match.

Moreover, Yvette also understood Eric’s thoughts. A person with ambitions like him shouldn’t just stay

in the small Swan family.

How could Vera be worthy of staying by Eric’s side?

From a young age, Yvette had accompanied her mother, witnessing countless ebbs and flows

in the business world. Whether it was hidden agendas or crafty deceit, she could spot it with just one

glance.

Eileen was not a threat to her.

In fact, Eileen wasn’t even worthy to be her opponent.

Jasper only liked her because of her face

She didn’t mind backing down and apologizing to Eileen as the latter could be her future sister-in-law

They could be a family in the future.

There was also another thang

After all, Vera wouldn’t stay by Eric’s side for too long.

That cunning old fox, Will, had always been very measured in his actions.

He used his daughter to establish a connection with the Smith family.

On the other hand, he could also rely on his adopted son to secure cooperation from the Friedman

family,

Will knew what he should do.

She had seen many people willing to resort to any means for power, even if it meant abandoning their

wives and children.

It wouldn’t be much to ask Eric to dump Vera.

Will was at Caerulus Corporation. Ever since he stepped down, his visits to the company had been few

and far between. He sat in the CEO’s seat, and Eric stood below, handing over the latest financial

report.

This time, the revenue was thirty-two percent higher than before, reaching a peak value. never

achieved since the company was founded.

And these seemingly insignificant numbers could bring greater benefits to the Swan family.

“Recently, the company seems to be doing well. You’ve done a good job,” Will said.

Eric nodded. “Father, you flatter me. The company’s success today is largely due to Smith

Corporation’s support from behind the scenes. In less than half a year, the company can expand its

scale.”

Will nodded, acknowledging his daughter’s ability to catch Jasper’s attention.

“Recently, how is Eileen doing in the Smith residence? Have you visited her?”

Eric replied, “Eileen is so busy with her studies that we hardly see each other. I only get to chat with her

for a bit when I occasionally pick up Vera from school.”

When Vera was mentioned, Will’s face darkened. “Are you still in a relationship with her?”

Eric responded calmly, “Yes”

Then you have to think clearly. Do you want an insignificant woman, or do you want to stand on top of

the pyramid, being admired by everyone? You’re not young anymore.” Will put down the files in his

hand and walked to Eric’s side, patting his shoulder “Eileen is my

daughter, and you re ny

everything I say. Don’t let a young girl confuse your mind. If you continue on the wrong path, you will

regret it in the future!”

Don’t let a young girl confuse my mind?

In Eric’s mind, her figure appeared.

His eyes dimmed.

“Okay, I’ll get going now. Take some time to think it over. You have three days. If you can’t make a

decision by then, I’ll make it for you.”

This seemingly casual remark carried a hint of threat.

Will lowered his hand, suddenly overwhelmed by a wave of dizziness that caused his b sway

backwards.

“Father!” Eric quickly came to his support.

Will shook his head. “I’m fine. You can continue with your work.”

“Yes, Father.”

After Will left, a mysterious and alluring figure emerged from the lounge. Elsie was dressed in a black

lace gown that hugged her elegant silhouette. The lace collar, adorned with intricate patterns,

resembled a tattoo on her neck. She draped a Blake fur shawl over herself and gracefully swayed,

exuding both charm and seduction.

It was difficult to believe that this person was once a respected teacher.
