Chapter 413: Exceptional Charm with the Opposite Sex
Lauren complained, saying that Eric was far too powerful and irresistible to women. In her eyes, any woman who saw him couldn’t help but want to cling to him.
Ella smiled faintly and walked out of the room with Lauren. Sure enough, they found a woman with a crazed expression blocking Eric’s path.
Eric frowned slightly—this maid had actually tracked him down.
"Anne, the opportunity has passed. I’m sorry," Eric said coolly. "Thank you for helping me escape Leonard’s estate. I’ll compensate you for that. John, transfer one million to Ms. Anne’s account later."
Eric’s gaze lingered briefly on the scar on the back of Anne’s neck, one he had caused. He felt slightly guilty—after all, without her cooperation, his escape wouldn’t have been possible. At the time, if Anne hadn’t played along with his act, she wouldn’t have dared betray Leonard.
"Yes, boss," John replied, glancing indifferently at Anne. "Miss, please come with me."
But Anne clung to Eric, refusing to let go. "No, I don’t want money! I want to be Mr. Nelson’s woman..."
She acted shy and coquettish, nearly making Ella and Lauren gag. It was obvious Anne was smart enough to know that no amount of money compared to the value of being Eric’s mistress.
"Miss Anne," a light, teasing voice interrupted, "do you know what kind of woman Mr. Nelson likes? Perhaps I could enlighten you."
A man in a crisp white suit strolled over, his smile warm and refined. His elegant features and gentle demeanor exuded charm.
It was Connor.
