Chapter 268 Intentionally Sent Away
Davison Group had a branch in Krusada, and just like that, Eric also had a villa there. The driver smoothly took them to the villa.
The villa was spotless and well–kept, clearly getting regular cleaning even though no one lived there full–time.
After a long flight of over ten hours, Kate felt a bit tired. Once settled in, she lay down on the big bed and grabbed her phone to video call Eric.
She missed him a lot and really wanted to see him.
After dialing, there was no answer from the other end for a while.
Kate furrowed her brow, feeling a bit worried.
Just as she was about to hang up, Eric finally picked up the phone.
“Kate, have you arrived?”
Eric looked at Kate lying on the big bed at the other end, his face soft with indulgent affection.
“Mhmm. I’ve arrived.”
Kate’s eyes curved with a smile, and then she coquettishly asked, “Han Yuan, what are you up to? I miss you so much.”
Eric looked at her coquettish expression, smile growing warmer, and murmured, “I was caught up with something. That’s why I didn’t pick up earlier.”
Seeing Eric made Kate feel much more relieved, and she started feeling sleepy too, letting
out
Seeing her yawn, Eric said softly, “Kate, you should rest. I still have some things to take care of.”
Before he could finish his sentence, suddenly there was a loud “bang” from beside him!
a yawn.
Kate’s drowsiness vanished instantly, and she quickly opened her eyes, looking nervously at Eric. “Ric. what was that sound just now? Is everything okay where you are?”
Eric’s eyes held a hint of coldness, but he furrowed his brow in confusion. “What sound? Kate, are you too tired and hearing things?”
Kate was taken aback, scratching her head in puzzlement. Upon listening again, it seemed like there really was no sound, and everything looked normal where Eric was.
Could it be that she was just too tired, so I heard it wrong?
“Never mind, as long as everything’s alright.”

After sitting on the plane for over ten hours, she was exhausted.
“You rest well. I’ll go attend to things. Eric said quietly, and then promptly hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Eric’s expression turned instantly cold. He pushed open the nearby door forcefully and walked out, his gaze landing on a person writhing in pain on the ground. “Making such a commotion… You want to die, don’t you?”
Luckily, he reacted quickly just now and deceived Kate. Otherwise, she would have become suspicious.
The terrified man looked at Eric approaching, and desperately knelt down, pleading. “Mr. Eric, please spare me! I didn’t mean it! I was just following orders, 1–I didn’t know anything!
“It was greed that clouded my judgment! Please, spare me this time!”
Eric’s cold eyes glanced at him briefly, and then turned indifferent. “Whether you’re spared or not isn’t up to me. It’s up to you.”
If you broke the law, you couldn’t expect to get away with it.
If you were innocent, you’d naturally be fine.
“I’ve taken care of it all, Mr. Eric!”
Lucas strode over from the other side, his clothes stained with some blood, and a trace of blood on his lips, with a slight bruise forming.
Eric’s gaze paused briefly on Lucas’s lips, his brow furrowing slightly. If Kate calls again, stay out of sight.
Lucas sighed.
What else can I do? Mr. Eric is always right!
Besides, Eric went to great lengths, spending triple the funds, to hasten the fashion design exhibition in Krusada and distract Kate at this crucial moment. Clearly, he didn’t want her to be aware of these
matters.
Hmm, that’s why I need to be extra cautious and ensure Madam doesn’t find out about what’s going on here!
