Chapter 149: The Impolite Woman
Eric loved Ella, but he wanted her to be strong, knowing that he might not always be there to protect her. In the treacherous world of powerful families, he couldn’t guarantee that their enemies wouldn’t do something insane.
"Yeah, yeah, I know, stop nagging!" Ella’s tone was defiant, but her eyes were soft and tender.
"Your mouth is really asking for trouble, Ella. Just wait until tonight—I’ll teach you a lesson!"
"Ah! Eric, you pervert!"

Eric and Ella walked into Sapphire Shores Tavern together, but just halfway up the stairs, Eric received a phone call, leaving Ella to head to the private room on her own.
Ella knew that Eric’s position in the Nelson Group wasn’t as secure as it appeared on the surface.
James was constantly critical of him, and naturally, some shareholders sided with James as well.
Eric’s methods and ideas were particularly forward-thinking, which didn’t sit well with the older generation who couldn’t stand his youthful arrogance. They must have pulled quite a few underhanded tricks to undermine him.
The fact that Eric had managed to hold his ground in the Nelson Group was no small feat. Now, trying to seize power, take over the entire Nelson Group, and then bring down the Walker and Miller Groups—it was almost an impossible task.
