Chapter 13
Eric didn’t move, he just watched coldly as the woman in front of him lay on the ground, as if it was the first time he had ever met her.
,
Perhaps due to health reasons since childhood, Estelle had a somewhat extreme personality.
At that time, Eric’s eyes were full of love, so he not only didn’t mind, but also felt sorry for everything.
Now his love for Estelle is gradually worn away by her unreasonable behavior time and time again, coupled with his addiction to Calista’s body over the years.
At that moment, I couldn’t help but compare her to Calista.
In front of him, Calista was always obedient and sensible, trying to please. him, and never seemed to get angry.
As for Estelle, it is unclear whether it was due to her original personality or being overly spoiled by him.
Whenever things didn’t go her way, she would start to throw a tantrum.
Lightly scolding others, and heavily injuring them.
At the thought of this, Eric felt a slight disgust towards her for the first time.
But after all, he was the person she had liked for many years. He closed his eyes and suppressed his anger in his voice.
“You stay on the island and calm down first. I will go back to deal with
Calista’s matters and then come back to pick you up.”
There was no discussion or room for negotiation, only a notification, leaving Estelle with a cold back.
This was the first time Estelle had been treated like this by him, and the anger on her face completely faded away, turning into panic.
She crawled away from the ground in a panic, desperate to chase after him.
“No, don’t-”
Don’t leave her, don’t leave her alone here!
The next moment, her legs gave way, and she fell heavily to the ground again. The sharp small stones on the beach deeply embedded into her fair skin, some even cutting through the skin, causing beads of blood to emerge.
No matter how much pain she was in, it couldn’t compare to the pain in Estelle’s heart. She couldn’t get up anymore, she could only watch as Eric walked further and further away, until she could no longer see his figure…
In Chicago, a sleek black helicopter landed steadily on the rooftop of the Callahan Group. Amid the whirring sound of the rotor blades, Eric stepped out of the cabin and took the president’s private elevator to the top floor executive office.
There, a large group of people had been waiting for him.
As Eric sat in the boss chair behind the desk, his assistant quickly placed all the prepared information about Calista in front of him on the table.
In the spacious office, there was only the sound of Eric flipping through documents and the faint sound of breathing.
There was no other sound besides this.
Everyone held their breath tightly, afraid that they might accidentally ignite the anger that Eric had not yet unleashed.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Eric looked at the thin pages for a long time, but it seemed like he reading them quickly.
“Bang!”
Was
The documents were slammed heavily on the desk by him, just like a stone hitting a school of fish and causing a big splash of water. Everyone was startled and shook violently, burying their heads lower and lower.
“A bunch of trash, not even able to watch over one woman!”
In order to avoid Eric’s anger, the people who were originally guarding Calista all went out to search the entire city.
No matter it was the subway, ride–hailing service, high–speed rail, or airplane, there was no record of Calista’s travels.
She was like a raindrop falling into the ocean, completely disappearing without a trace!
“Get lost!”
“Keep looking for me, whether it’s in Chicago or elsewhere, both domestically and internationally. If you can’t find the person, then you can come see me with your heads held high! Get lost!”
He just didn’t believe that a pregnant woman could run so far!
A group of people quickly scrambled to retreat, afraid of provoking Eric’s anger by being a step behind..
This time, Eric’s anger in his heart couldn’t be contained anymore.
He thought Calista’s escape was just a spur–of–the–moment decision, but the information showed that she had actually been planning this escape for half a month.
Half a month ago, her father passed away due to unsuccessful rescue.
She felt she had no more leverage in Eric’s hands, so she ran away!
Eric clenched his fists tightly against the table, supporting his trembling body.
He didn’t understand, he really didn’t understand, why Calista wanted to escape.
Wasn’t she secretly in love with him, liking him since she was young?
Has he been treating her badly in recent years?
She paid for her father’s medical expenses, allowing her to live a comfortable life, and even enabling her to have her own child.
He gave her everything except love.
Why did she run?
Is she blaming him for not knowing about her father’s death?
Are you still blaming her for not being there for her during the most difficult time of her pregnancy?
But the first time he slept with Calista, he made it clear to her that there was only a transaction between them, no emotions involved.
He paid for her father’s medical expenses, and she gave birth to their child while pregnant.

Gradually, Eric began to develop a taste for Calista’s body.
He was becoming more and more interested in her, to the point where he even planned to have more children with her in the future.
So gradually I also developed feelings for her.
But obviously Calista did not reciprocate his feelings.
The deal was only halfway through when Calista unexpectedly broke the
contract.
He ran away with his child!
