A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0276

Lily glanced at Arianne. No one knew what was going through her mind at this moment. “You managed to discover the truth so easily because I didn’t do a clean job.” She looked at Eric, “I didn’t want to do it either, but your eldest brother made me do it. I asked him why, but he didn’t give me a reason. It wasn’t easy for me to find a footing in the capital. The Nathaniels gave me a lot of opportunities. My family isn’t doing too well, and I don’t want to lose my job. My mother would kill me if we lose our financial resources. Your eldest brother only needs to say the word, and I’d have to leave. I have no choice...”

The disappointment in Eric’s eyes was clear. “Did you think that I’ve become a stray dog, unable to fend for himself, and that I won’t be able to take care of you? Do you think I’m unreliable? Fine. That’s fine. I had intended to take you with me when I start my own company after leaving Glide. However, it seems like our objectives are not aligned. Let’s just hope my brother will take you in after everything you’ve done for him. Go back to the headquarters now. I don’t need you here.”

Lily lowered her head as she turned to leave. She took two steps forward before pausing. “I’m sorry, Mr. Nathaniel... For letting you down.”

Eric did not reply to her, a slightly frustrated expression could be seen on his face.

Everyone watched as Lily packed her things and left.
