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.

Chapter 138
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
Chapter 136
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
Chapter 135
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
