Chapter 178: Unprecedented Situation
Thinking along these lines, Frank finally felt a bit more at ease.
Meanwhile, Ella was back in the car, knowing that Eric still had to head to work. She would be returning to Chloe’s house for the evening.
"Frank came out of hiding so early because he thought you’d be easy to control," Eric said with a smile. "But he seriously miscalculated."
"They won’t rush things too much; after all, they believe they have plenty of time," Ella replied calmly, though her eyes flashed with a cold light.
Grandma Carter had passed away too soon, and within a month of her death, her grandfather had brought the mistress home. Now, that old couple was still enjoying a life of luxury, while poor Grandma Carter... Ella couldn’t help but wonder if she had died with a heart full of bitterness.
"The one you need to watch out for now is Brianna. She’s been out of prison and resting for a month, probably planning something. But I’ll have people keep an eye on her, and if there’s any sign of trouble, I’ll let you know immediately," Eric said, his mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Miss Davis, considering all I’m doing for you, shouldn’t you show some appreciation?"
Ella lowered her lashes, unable to meet his gaze directly. "What kind of appreciation are you looking for?"
"Hmm... let me think about it," Eric teased, a playful glint in his eye.
As the car started moving, Eric focused on getting Ella back to Carter Family before heading to his office. He was working so hard, all in preparation for the future he was striving to build.
The ride was mostly silent. Ella cherished these moments with him, knowing they’d soon have to part again. She couldn’t help feeling a bit reluctant.
When the car stopped outside Carter Group’s villa, Ella unbuckled her seatbelt, only to have Eric’s large hand grab hers and pull her into his arms.
