Just the thought of Emma’s reaction when he had a flu or migraine made Eric nod his head obediently. “Regarding Eustace, don’t worry about calling the police.”
Luke looked at the dazed Eustace who was sitting on the floor and had no intention to step on him any further. Instead, he hurried ahead of Eric to look for a doctor.
Luckily, it was just a light external injury. All it needed was a bandage and it was fine. However, Emma was terrified. She immediately rushed to the hospital, ran out of the car without even putting on a disguise and questioned the reception desk about Eric’s whereabouts.
Luckily, Eric knew her well enough. He was already waiting on the first floor as he asked Luke to bring her over.
“Was that…Emma?”
“I think so. And the person talking to her appears to be Mr. Roberts.”
The nurses noticed the couple and secretly pulled out their phones to take photos.
Emma didn’t have time to care about them. She simply ran up to Eric and asked, “Where are you hurt?”
“My clothes are thick. I only lost a layer of skin,” Eric replied.
“I still want to see it.”
In order not to be surrounded by onlookers, Eric led Emma into a quiet hospital room, sat down on the bed and removed his jacket. He then pulled up his business shirt, “It’s really just a small injury.”
Eric’s left waist was covered in bandages. Although a little bit of blood had seeped through, it was indeed just a small injury. Emma breathed a sigh of relief before leaning over and helping Eric put his clothes back on, “Did you know, you scared the hell out of me?”
“Everything’s fine now,” Eric reached out his hand and pulled Emma into his embrace as he comforted her.
“What exactly happened?”
Eric sat up straight. Just as he was about to explain the complicated situation that had happened earlier, Luke suddenly came knocking on the door, “President, Chairman Quincey family has just passed away.”
Eric immediately stood up, pulled open the door and looked at Luke.
Luke explained, “It turns out, he not only had gastric cancer, but also a stroke.”
“He is, after all, an old friend of second uncle’s. Emma, let’s go up and have a look,” Eric turned around and said to Emma. No matter how many grudges they held against each other, nothing was more important than respecting the dead.
Emma nodded her head as she hurried to Eric’s side. The couple returned to Old Man Quincey family’s hospital room together. As they entered, the atmosphere was filled with grief.
At this moment, Eustace still wanted to run up and grab onto Eric’s collar. But, the bodyguards quickly held him back, “Eric, are you satisfied? My father is dead! Aren’t you happy?”
Emma looked at Eustace’s fierce exp**ssion. She opened her eyes wide and asked, “What is there for us to be happy about? Aren’t you the one that wanted him dead?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Did you know that your father had gastric cancer?” Emma questioned. “If you didn’t want him dead then why did you muck around all day, flirting with girls and not doing any serious work? You obviously knew he had no one to assist him, yet you never withheld your responsibility as a son and instead went around causing trouble, stimulating his emotions. If your actions weren’t done because you want him dead, then why did you do them?”
“Why do you think your father handed Star King to Eric? It’s because he knew his son wouldn’t be able to handle the responsibility of managing Star King. He didn’t want all his hard work to be completely destroyed.”
“You just wait and see. Without your father, who would take a second glance at you?”
Emma’s tone was strong, but all she said was the truth. Her words felt like silver needles, stabbing one at a time into his heart.
Of course, there was another reason for her angered reaction: Eric was injured out of nowhere. If he didn’t have such a swift reaction, there may have been another body lying in a hospital bed at the moment.
Eustace had no way of refuting against Emma. He simply leaned against the hospital bed and took a few last glances at his father. Aferwards, he walked solemnly towards Eric and declared, “I will definitely retrieve Star King from your hands and I will do it legitimately in front of everyone.”
“I’ll wait for you.” After speaking, Eric gave a slight bow towards Old Quincey’s body and turned to leave with Emma.
On the way home, Eric looked at the woman beside him and couldn’t help but r*b her shoulders, “Originally, I was supposed to give you a pleasant surprise today, instead, I ended up giving you a fright.”
“Did you really buy Star King?”
“I acquired the Quincey family Family’s shares, so I am now the biggest shareholder,” Eric did not deny. “You own 15% as shared assets.”
“You know I don’t understand this stuff,” Emma didn’t care.
“But, from what I remember, Star King once banned you.”
This was one of the main reasons Eric decided to acquire the shares. As long as he could wipe away one of Emma’s unhappy memories, it was money well spent.
Emma leaned against Eric’s body, tryng hard not to use too much force. Even though his injury was small, she was still careful.
…
Late at night. Inside the suburbs stood a quiet house and inside the damp living room sat a few computers. The staff sitting in front of the computers had an exp**ssion of concern.
“After all the energy we wasted to collect information, Eric ended up being one step ahead of us by announcing his relationship with Emma. With the addition of Eustace’s incident, the public is currently siding with Emma. We are not in a position to release bad news about her. Even if we release something, Kaleidoscope will immediately cover it up.”
“Editor Benedict, what should we do? We already missed our timing…”
“Just because he announced they are in a relationship, doesn’t mean they are married!” Editor Benedict waved his hand, stopping the others from saying another word, “Who do you think Eric is? He is the CEO of Kaleidoscope. How long can he focus his interests on the one person?”
“Have a look at the male celebrities that change women every few of days. Don’t tell me Eric is any different from that…”
“But, how does that relate to us?”
“He’s simply playing with her for a few days. After he gets bored, he will get rid of her. We just have to wait patiently. Who told us to miss our timing?” Curtison sighed. “Take advantage of this time to follow another story.”
As the company had been endlessly spending money with no income, it was currently operating under a loss.
Following another story?
What other story at the moment could beat the story of Eric announcing his relationship with Emma? While everyone was worried about Emma’s story, a secret guest came to visit Curtison.
He didn’t know how the man managed to find him. All he knew was, inside the dark car, the man handed him a cheque, “I know you are the reporters Fletcher was previously turning the entire New York inside out to find. I’ve come to ask for a favor.”
Curtison saw the numbers on the cheque under the dim lighting and asked, “What favor?”
“I want to take over Kaleidoscope. So, I hope you can assist me. The reason is simple, your trailing skills are indeed imp**ssive and I know you won’t betray me because of Eric.”
