The dispute between Violet and Chloe only subsided when Evelyn, caught right between them, finally spoke up. She could no longer endure the pain from the two women gripping her arms. Evelyn urged them to focus on supporting Eric instead of wasting energy fighting each other.Both Violet and Chloe restrained themselves in embarrassment. They apologized for hurting one of Eric’s people.The rowing competition unfolded with intense excitement. Cheers from supporters of different universities echoed back and forth, each rallying behind their own champions. Any team eliminated in the preliminaries was immediately knocked out—the tournament used a straight knockout system.The University of the Grand Houston rowing club advanced with ease thanks to Eric’s extraordinary ability.

The intercollegiate rowing tournament was held at a sports arena in downtown Grand Houston. Several universities participated, with the winner earning the right to represent the city at the provincial-level championship. Because of that, every team pushed themselves to the limit to secure victory.The spectator stands were packed with supporters, including plenty of fans from the University of the Grand Houston. However, instead of cheering for the team as a whole, the crowd—dominated by women—kept shouting just one name: Eric.Naturally, the sight made the other rowing club members green with envy. Some even joked around, asking Eric to share a bit of his charm so they could attract female attention too.“Look at that, Miss Turner. Your boyfriend, and all those beautiful girls, are only focused on you. Come on, man, are we invisible to them? Is that why they’re only calling your name?” the club president teased. His words drew chuckles from the members and even the coach, though inwa

When Chloe opened her eyes, the wall clock was already pointing at nine. As she stretched lazily, her gaze landed on a tray placed on the bedside table—milk, avocado, toast, eggs, grilled meat, and a banana neatly arranged. Feeling hungry, she eagerly pulled the tray closer.“Isn’t Eric the perfect future husband? He lulled me to sleep last night, and now he’s prepared such a lavish breakfast this morning. I really, really like him!”Chloe devoured the food without restraint. Just as she was about to drink the milk, her brows knitted together when she noticed a piece of paper tucked beneath the glass.“This must be a love note from Eric,” she said with a chuckle as she unfolded the paper.“I’m going to campus. I won’t be home until evening. My men will come to guard and keep you company.”After reading Eric’s message, Chloe pouted. Her irritation instantly killed her appetite. She pushed the tray back onto the table, then lay down again, too lazy to do anything.“I’m staying here for

Eric let out a long breath as he looked at Chloe lying in the guest room of his house. He rubbed his face several times, his mind weighed down by a single concern.He would tell Violet about this later—to prevent any misunderstanding. He had just finished clearing up the last one, and he had no intention of letting history repeat itself.“Get some sleep. I’ll stay here and keep watch,” Eric said when Chloe turned to look at him sitting on the single sofa.The reason Eric agreed to let Chloe stay over was because she reminded him of Elise—who had once been in a situation just as bad. Chloe had no siblings or relatives in the city, and her parents were unavailable right now.Meanwhile, despite Eric telling her to sleep, Chloe clearly couldn’t close her eyes. She had tried, but it felt like a huge rock was pressing down on her chest, forcing her eyes open again.“Are you worried about Violet?” Chloe asked as she sat up on the bed.Eric exhaled sharply. “I told you to sleep. And you’re si

Eric knocked the perverted bastard out cold. His chest rose and fell hard, the rage he’d just unleashed still burning in his veins. He shot a cold, lethal glare at the intruder who had tried to defile Chloe—then reached for his phone and called the police.Watching Eric take control like that only made Chloe’s emotions spiral further out of control. She hadn’t even managed to push him out of her mind yet—now she was falling even deeper.He protected me like that… damn it. If it’s come to this, what am I supposed to do? Chloe’s heart trembled.She flinched when Eric turned around and looked at her.Eric walked over to where Chloe sat on the bed, slipping off his black suit jacket and draping it gently over her shoulders.“The police will be here soon,” he said softly. “I’ll get you some water.”Chloe quickly stopped him. “C-can I come with you? I’m scared… what if he wakes up and—”Eric nodded immediately. He helped her to her feet and guided her carefully out of the room.They left th

The Cattegirn family, who had lost their weapon to fight against Steve Hart, ultimately had to surrender. They tried to figure out ways to calm Steve Hart's anger, which was now glaring at them so sharply."Darn it, what's happening? Are we going to lose all our assets?""What are you talking about? We wouldn't lose everything if we had just accepted Steve Hart's offer from the beginning. If we did, at least Steve Hart would have kindly let us continue enjoying all those assets.""You're right, we messed up."Almost the entire Cattegirn family agreed that their stubbornness had indeed led to losses. Their refusal to submit to Steve Hart now was leading them to ruin."Uncle Jason, please do something.""That's right, Brother Jason. If necessary, tell Steve Hart that we accept his offer.""I agree, at least that's the only way for us not to end up living as beggars after daring to offend him."All the other members of Cattegirn family began pleading with Jason and Olivia to resolve the

"Am I late?"A beautiful girl entered as if nothing had happened, casually approaching Steve to join Brandon in standing by Steve Hart's side."I, Helena Halbert, will represent the Halbert family in expressing support for Steve Hart. Whatever happens here, even if it means offending the Bridge family, the Halbert family will do its best to prove its seriousness in support," Helena said loudly so that everyone there could hear her."Helena, what do you mean? Why is the Halbert family doing this? Does that scumbag deserve your support like this?" Mark Bridge asked, not expecting Brandon alone to support Steve Hart, let alone Helena.Mark, who initially believed he could stubbornly make Agatha his fiancée, suddenly doubted whether this was worth it or not.Mark might still have confidence in handling the Lee family easily, but if the Halbert family also intervened, then this was a different story.The Bridge family might be strong and surpass the other two influential families in Avebur

BAM!Steve Hart's punch landed squarely on Mark's chin, causing Mark to stagger before falling because he wasn't prepared for it."Damn it! How dare you!""Everyone, move to protect Mr. Mark right now!""Stay away from Mr. Mark, hit him if necessary if he keeps trying to resist!"Quite a few people in the living room reacted strongly to Steve Hart's punch. Steve Hart didn't recognize who they were, but he could guess that they had come with Mark."Darn, for someone who dares to try to put your hands on my wife, you're quite the coward," Steve Hart said to Mark.Mark Bridge heard this and immediately ordered them to stop. Mark didn't want them to get involved because it would hurt his pride."Haha, you can go," Mark said, rising from his fall."Mr. Mark, are you okay?""Mr. Mark, why are you stopping us from teaching him a lesson?""Mr. Mark, that scumbag has gone too far, he should at least feel a few broken bones as punishment."The people stopped by Mark seemed dissatisfied; they qu

Steve Hart returned to the living room with confidence, the presence of Mark Bridge not bothering him in the slightest, let alone making him fearful.Simultaneously with Steve Hart's appearance, Agatha followed closely behind him. Agatha seemed to be hiding behind Steve Hart, afraid of every person in the living room, not wanting to feel the hateful gazes from them due to her sudden change of decision.Initially, Agatha had agreed to her engagement, pressured by her family to make that decision. Seeing her suddenly change her mind naturally angered every Cattegirn family member present.The Cattegirn family felt betrayed by Agatha, their sole rescuer, if only Agatha hadn't suddenly turned to side with Steve Hart like she was doing now."Agatha, what is the meaning of all this?!""Agatha, didn't you already agree to this engagement?!""Agatha, are you insane to decide to side with him and plan to disrupt your engagement with Mark?!"Each member of the Cattegirn family present asked ang

Steve's sudden entrance truly succeeded in catching the entire household off guard. The living room was indeed bustling with activity, mostly from the Cattegirn family, but there were also quite a few unfamiliar faces that Steve didn't know."Am I interrupting your event?" Steve Hart asked, his tone piercingly cold to those who heard it.Steve's question was not well-received by most people there; one of them even approached Steve with an angry expression.Olivia Cattegirn, Steve's mother-in-law, approached him and promptly pulled him away from the living room."What wicked plans do you have by coming here?!" Olivia exclaimed loudly, simultaneously slapping Steve's hand.Steve raised his eyebrows; he remembered vividly how just a few days ago, his mother-in-law seemed so hesitant and even afraid of him. Now, that fear seemed to have vanished, and Olivia appeared to be back to treating Steve as she pleased.Steve didn't dwell on Olivia's change in attitude. However, he already knew the

In the luxurious courtyard of the Cattegirn family mansion, Steve could see it bustling with invited guests, all of whom seemed surprised by his presence, as if his arrival was the last thing they expected."What's he doing here? Wasn't he supposed to be kicked out?""Maybe he's here to deal with his divorce from Agatha. Just let it be, there's no need to pay him any mind."Steve overheard the nearby conversations clearly, which only fueled his anger.Steve knew exactly why they were all gathered at his wife's family home. He had heard it from Brandon that the Cattegirn family was secretly attempting to arrange a marriage for Agatha behind his back."Agatha hasn't even divorced me yet, and you're all rushing to make decisions," Steve Hart muttered.Steve questioned what the Cattegirn family truly thought of him, realizing how much they were belittling him and disregarding his existence.Steve could entertain such thoughts because the marriage arrangement the Cattegirns were attempting
