Chapter 60 I Lost My Purse

Gavin immediately bowed his head. “I wouldn’t dare.”

The bodyguards swiftly subdued the group.

in that moment, Eric appeared like a demon from hell, emanating a terrifying aura.

Upon hearing that her son was in trouble, Morgan rushed over. Seeing him pinned to the ground, shecried out. “Thomas…”

Thomas pleaded, “Save me, Mom! Save me!”

Morgan rushed forward but was stopped by a bodyguard. “Stop! Stop it now!”

Eric had never been known for his kindness, as everyone in the underworld was aware. În the contrary,he was infamous for his ruthlessness.

At that moment, he was merely teaching the group a minor lesson. In the would have been floating inthe sea by now.

their bodies

Inside the ward, Eileen’s skin crawled at the sound of the screams.

She knew it was Eric taking action.

He was there to forcefully take her back, but she didn’t want to go.

Eileen removed the needle from the back of her hand, threw off the covers, and attempted to stand.However, as soon as her feet touched the ground, her legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the floor.Using the bed for support, she managed to stand up again, albeit with great difficulty.

Just then, Eric entered the room. Eileen looked at him in terror, stumbled, and fell. For a moment, shefroze. Sitting on the ground, she was too scared to move.

Their eyes met, and Eileen had never seen him look so intimidating.

His neck and fingers were stained with blood that dripped from his fingertips onto the floor, creating avivid red splash that was both savage and chilling..

It was as if he had emerged from hell itself.

As he approached, Eileen recoiled in fear. “I can get up on my own,” she said.

Eric’s hawk-like eyes watched as she casually removed the needle from the back of her hand, causingblood to seep out. His eyes narrowed as he said, “When will you ever learn?”

Ignoring Eileen’s words, he stepped forward and lifted her into his arms before heading.

outside.

“I don’t want to go back! Let me go!”

Eric appeared angry as he walked out, forcefully shoving her into Gavin’s car.

Sitting in the car, she could feel the countless gazes fixed upon her, a feeling that she detested.

As Eileen looked out of the car window, she saw the pool of blood on the ground, a sight that made herstomach churn.

When Gavin noticed that the blood on Eric had stained Eileen’s clothes, he discreetly placed a pack oftissues in front of her, knowing that she was a clean freak.

Eileen wiped the blood off her body, while Eric opened the front passenger seat door for

Vera.

Vera got in.

Once Eric settled into the car, the atmosphere inside became oppressively heavy.

Eileen said, “I don’t want to go back.”

Eric retorted, “Have you not learned your lesson during these three months. home? Eileen, thereshould be a limit to your stubbornness!”

from

Eileen was afraid of him. In fact, she was more afraid of him than she was of Will.

As she was related to Will by blood, she knew there was a limit to what he would do to her. However,the same couldn’t be said for Eric. His attitude towards the Swan family and her… was quite indifferent.He wouldn’t hesitate to harm her.

Eileen lowered her gaze, tearing at the tissue in her hand. She knew Eric very well. Speaking to himabout these matters now would only further irritate and anger him..

He was unconditionally forgiving towards Vera, but when it came to her…

The fact that he had come at that time was already the limit of his patience.

Eileen tactfully refrained from continuing the conversation. Instead, she changed the subject, her voicesomewhat soft as she said, “I’ve lost my purse.”

Eric ordered, “Drive.”

Eileen’s heart was already in knots. If possible, she didn’t want to trouble him either.

“Inside, there’s a photo of my mom. It’s very important to me.”

Eric replied, “I’ve got it.”

With his assurance, Eileen knew that Eric would definitely help her retrieve it.

Meanwhile, Morgan was chasing after the car, crying and causing a scene. Not long ago, Thomas andthe others had been taken away by the police.

The people there were equally frightened after witnessing Eric’s ruthlessness. He had almost taken alife with just a few strikes.

The pool of blood on the ground stubbornly refused to be washed away.

No one dared to discuss the horrifying incident, as they didn’t want to get involved with a

of neighborhood hooligans. It was clear to them that Eric and his men were not to be trifled with.

group

At that moment, Hannah was hiding behind a tractor, still in shock with her legs trembling.

Soon after, she overheard a conversation among the group of people.

Silas asked, “Elm, what’s the deal with that young girl? Who are those people? Are they powerful?”

“Paola, those cars are worth at least hundreds of thousands. Elm, do you about them?”

know anything

Elm casually slid one hand into his pocket, playing with a metal lighter. Upon pressing it, a blue and redflame ignited. “From now on, you guys should keep your distance from her. And as for that Eric guy,avoid him if you can

Eileen might seem easy to bully, but the Swan family is not to be messed with. Eric’s methods haven’tchanged since the old days.

“This guy is unbelievably ruthless. I could even hear bones cracking from here. Damn, that must havehurt!” Silas said with a grimace.

Elm closed his lighter, his narrow eyes fixed on the trembling figure not far away. He then began toapproach.

As Hannah stared at the approaching figure, fear compelled her to flee. However, her legs felt heavyand refused to move.

“Hand it over,” Elm demanded, extending his hand.

Hannah’s family wasn’t wealthy, and she wasn’t particularly attractive either. Sometimes, she

found herself being bullied by others. When encountering local ruffians like these, she never dared toprovoke them.

Hannah wasn’t sure what she had done that day to give Elm a reason to look for her.

She was too scared to even make eye contact.

She stammered, “W-W-What…”

“Do I even need to remind you? Wasn’t it you who took Eileen’s purse? Stop pretending in front of me.”Elm smirked, his eyes glinting with ice. “Being unattractive is one thing, but you can’t even controlyourself!”

Hannah quickly responded, “I didn’t take her purse. I found it!”

“You know it’s hers, yet you’re not returning it! How is this any different from stealing?”

With trembling hands, Hannah pulled the purse out of her pocket. Her face flushed red withembarrassment. Gritting her teeth, she found herself at a loss for words.

Elm opened the purse and took out Eileen’s ID to examine it. She looked reasonably presentable in thephoto. Her student ID card was also still inside.

“Where’s the money that was inside?”

“I-I’ve spent it…”

With a look of disdain, Elm reluctantly took out money from his own wallet. After confirming that therewere about a thousand dollars in notes, he stuffed them into Eileen’s. pink purse. “If I catch youstealing again, I won’t hesitate to treat you like Thomas. Now go away!”

Startled, Hannah quickly ran off.

Somewhat annoyed, Paola said, “You didn’t take the money, so why are you paying it back?”

“I have so much money that I don’t even know where to spend it, alright!”

No one understood the Swan family better than him. Whatever amount Eileen was short of, the Swanfamily would ensure it was fully repaid, down to the last penny.
