Chapter 298 Dont Be Mad
George glanced away from Hendrick and Linus, then spoke calmly, “Mr. Linus, Mr. Hendrick, please persuade Madam to abandon her idea of going to Bastilla. The situation there is more chaotic than usual, and if she goes, she’ll be in great danger.”
Hendrick was silent for a moment before nodding.
Linus, still frowning, sighed heavily after a while and muttered discontentedly, “Why do we have to be kept in the dark about everything?”
Hendrick glanced at Linus and said indifferently, “Don’t overthink it.”
He had a vague idea of what was going on, but Linus was completely in the dark.
The reason was clear: Linus was often unreliable.
Besides, if Linus found out, he would likely investigate on his own, and if he encountered those people, the consequences could be disastrous.
It was better for Linus to remain carefree and focused solely on racing.
Linus felt something was off with Hendrick’s attitude. He scratched his head, unable to figure it out, so he decided to drop it. Instead, he turned to look at the closed door and sighed deeply.
Inside the room, Kate was curled up on the sofa, hugging her knees, her eyes unfocused and lost in thought.
Eric’s image kept flashing through her mind.
In her previous life, Eric had returned seriously injured, and she hadn’t even gone to see him. She only knew he was badly hurt and nearly died, and the incident happened in Bastilla.
She desperately wanted to find Eric, but George’s words made sense.
In the Capital City, Eric’s people could protect her well, but in the chaotic and unstable foreign lands, she could easily be captured by Eric’s enemies and used as a hostage.
Kate took a deep breath, trying to suppress her emotions.
She couldn’t do anything now; all she could do was wait for Eric to come back.
Knock, Knock.

“Eric!”
Her voice trembled, full of fear and grievance.
Eric breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kate, but seeing her teary eyes made his heart ache. “Kate, I’m sorry.”
Kate shook her head vigorously. “Don’t say that.”
“My men failed to protect you.”
Eric’s eyes were cold and displeased.
The thought of what could have happened terrified him. If those people had intended to kill Kate instead of using her to threaten him, what then?
He couldn’t rush back in time from abroad!
He had almost lost his beloved Kate.
Kate’s eyes were brimming with tears, and she pouted. “Don’t blame them. It was my carelessness.”
She took the phone inside, gazing longingly at Eric’s face. Her voice carried a hint of grievance. “Eric, why did you keep your trip to Bastilla a secret from me?”
Eric panicked a little.
Seeing the teary–eyed, pouty Kate, his heart melted, filled with guilt.
He wished he could reach through the screen and hold her, kiss her, and make her feel better.
He had upset his wife again, and he had to make it right this time.
“Kate, I didn’t want you to worry. I’m fine, I promise.”
Eric’s voice was extremely gentle, with a hint of pleading, “Please don’t be mad, okay?”
