These people were savvy, having spent a lot of time with Frank's group. How could they not see through last night's trick? They also heard about Colin sending Dylan to prison for Dylan’s ex-girlfriend for her involvement. Understanding the situation, they came to express goodwill and explore some alternative avenues.Despite Eranthe's serious demeanor, insisting on following a formal process, the clients patiently sat down and listened. As they delved into the discussion, they found the conversation quite interesting and even raised some requirements and suggestions.After the discussion, they felt that the deal was worthwhile, and Eranthe appeared diligent and responsible."We will send you the proposals in the next couple of days.""Pleasure working with you. We'll wait for your proposals and quotes."They initially intended to sign the contract directly, but Eranthe and Acacia insisted that they review the proposals and price lists before making a decision. Seeing the sincerity of
Eranthe frowned, "Even if I withdraw the complaint, Dylan won't be released. The things he did behind my back, hiding them from me during and after our relationship, even if I don't pursue them, I can't make decisions on whether he should be released.""Miss. Taylor, as long as you have the intention, you can plead with Colin. As long as Colin helps, Dylan will definitely get a reduced sentence. He can come out earlier. His life has just begun. He's only in his twenties; it can't end like this."As soon as Eranthe heard Colin's name, her gaze turned cold, "Mrs. Miller, I can't control Colin, and besides, whatever Dylan did behind my back and got caught for is not something Colin can frame. Dylan is an adult; he should know that actions have consequences. Instead of focusing on this, you should think about how to move forward."Seeing that Eranthe didn't agree, Alice knelt down abruptly, startling Eranthe, who stood up abruptly, "Mrs. Miller, please get up quickly. I really can't make
"Are you busy, Eranthe?" Urania asked with a smile."I'm just finishing work. Have you returned from your business trip?" Eranthe stood up and walked to a corner to answer the call."I just landed. Come over for dinner tonight. It's been a while since we gathered together. I want to see you," Urania suggested."Sure, I'll come over after work. Do you need me to buy anything?" Eranthe offered."No need. Just come over like before. I'll head back now." Urania seemed a bit busy on the other end of the line.Eranthe hung up and Acacia asked, "Your aunt invited you for dinner?""Yes.""Well, you haven't mentioned her in a while. You should go. I'll take care of your part here. Say hello to your aunt for me.""Thanks. I'll treat you to dinner another time."Acacia waved her hand, "Deal."As Eranthe was leaving, she bought a bouquet of flowers and some fruits before driving to the King family's residence.The King family's home was in the old villa area of Assyria. Eranthe had mixed unpleasa
Jayden glanced up slightly, and Susan exclaimed, "Really none? Then I need to help you find one. This girl, the twenties are the best time, not being in a relationship is not acceptable."Urania laughed, "Young people nowadays have different thoughts. They think being single is good. If Eranthe hasn't found a good match, I won't force her to find one."Eranthe escaped to the kitchen and started washing the fruit. Someone followed her, and Eranthe thought it was Urania. She turned and said, "Aunt, did your business trip go smoothly this time?"Jayden walked up beside her. "Need help?"Eranthe was startled. "Why didn't you make a sound? I thought it was my aunt."With this distraction, the awkwardness between them diminished a bit. Jayden took the apples from her plate. "Do I scare you?""No." Eranthe replied casually. "Do you have a girlfriend?"Jayden glanced at her. "No.""Really? Back in school, all those girls used to chase after you. I thought you would have had several girlfriend
"There's some hope," Eranthe wasn't one to exaggerate. If she said so, it was likely to happen.Urania was also delighted, "Really? Then let me know in advance, and I'll treat you to a meal.""Sure.""It seems Eranthe is quite promising. Jayden, you need to step up and learn from your 'sister' Eranthe."Jayden raised an eyebrow, "I never called her sister."Susan laughed, "You little rascal.""Not that much of an age difference anyway," Urania served Eranthe some food.Adrian nodded, "Eranthe has always been sensible. Regarding what happened before, let me express gratitude on behalf of Scarlett. After all, Scarlett caused you trouble."Seeing Adrian bring up the past again, coupled with Jayden saying he didn't consider Eranthe a sister, Scarlett exploded. She slammed the table, saying, "Are you never going to stop? Don't always act like I did something wrong. Is Eranthe never at fault?"Eranthe's temple veins twitched. She turned to face Scarlett across the table and said, "Do you ha
"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.
Eranthe added Jayden as a friend, and then they said their goodbyes.When Susan and Jayden were heading home, Susan sighed, "Eranthe is such a good kid. If only she had parents, she wouldn't have to work so hard."Jayden shrugged, "What's wrong with not having parents? She's doing well now.""You don't understand. After losing her parents, if she's bullied, she's all alone. Moreover, many families look down on someone like her."Jayden frowned, "Are you really going to set her up on a blind date?""What's wrong with that? Mia Aunt's son is about the same age as her.""That guy even bought his way into college. He's not good enough for Eranthe.""Don't talk nonsense."Jayden went into his room, "Just don't set her up, alright?"Susan mumbled something in response, and Jayden opened Eranthe's social media space. After confirming that there were no traces of men inside, he slowly curled up his lips.Back home, the room was pitch dark. Eranthe wasn't quite used to it; it always felt like
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.
