Chapter 113 Intoxicated Rage
Erin’s voice immediately raised by an octave. “What? What happened to my dad?”
Since this was Steven that they were talking about, and if he’d approachedn, Erin was quite sure it
had something to do with money.
It waste now, so it was definitely not appropriate for an unmarried man and woman to be alone
together. But since her biological father
was in trouble, she couldn’t afford to worry about that at the moment.
Erin quickly gaven her new address, and he said he would rush over to her right away. Looking down
at the nightgown she was wearing. Erin felt that it was inappropriate. She quickly changed into casual
clothes.
In less than half an hour,n arrived. After he entered her house, Erin went to make him a cup of
coffee. As soon asn stepped into the
living room, she smelled the alcohol on him.
“Thanks, Erin.”
Erin furrowed her brows slightly and asked, “Did you drive here yourself?”
His eyes flickered with guilt, and he answered softly. “Yes.”
In the past,n’s habit of drunk driving was a sensitive issue for both of them. They would argue over it
every time without fail.
Erin chuckled lightly in response. “If you don’t cherish your own life, other people’s concerns won’t
make any difference to you.”
In the next second,n stood up from where he sat and started moving over to the sofa. Erin gave him
a wary nce.
He then sat back down and said sincerely, “I know you care about me. I swear I won’t drink and drive
again next time!”
borrow money from you?”
“He has already borrowed five million dors from me.” Erin remained unfazed.
Upon hearing her words,n picked up the coffee, blew on it, and took a sip. He then said, “Your dad’s
company has encountered a lot of problems. In short, he urgently needs eighty million dors in
working capital, otherwise, the court will dere him bankrupt within a
month!”
Erin stood up in surprise and walked over to the dining table, sitting next ton. She looked shocked as
she asked. “Did my dad ask you for eighty million dors?”
two hours ago.”
“Didn’t you tell him that we’re divorced?” Erin couldn’t understand what was going on. Although she
hadn’t told Steven about her divorce in person, the news would have traveledst in her hometown
among her rtives because it was a rtively small ce. Steven should
know even if he hadn’t heard about it from her.
Erin’s expression became strained, and she sighed heavily. “Didn’t I tell you before-”
“Erin, you can reject me, but you can’t stop me from loving you!”
His gaze was too direct and tant, making Erin feel uneasy. She could no longer nor did she want to
reciprocaten’s feelings. The past was in the past; all that was left now were memories.
Moreover, someone else had already upied her heart–Chandler.
Seeing her not responding to his emotions,n couldn’t help but reach out and ce his hand on the
back of her hand. He said earnestly.” Erin, I don’t care about all that scandalous news on the inte.
In any case. I still love you.”
*Please stop saying these things. You should leave. I know about my dad’s situation, and I will figure it
out on my own…”
Steven’s situation made her feel highly unsettled. She could fully imagine the repercussions if Steven
was really dered bankrupt by the court. He would be unable to lift his head in front of all their
rtives and friends. It would be a devastating blow to him!
Not only that, Steven’s wife would very likely divorce him as well. Although her father had remarried, at
least he and Cherry had divorced rather amicably, and neither of them had engaged in the disgraceful
act of infidelity.
Erin couldn’t bear to see Steven, at his age, suffering from bankruptcy and divorce.
Seeing her lost in contemtion and filled with anxiety,n chuckled. “You’ll figure it out? Where will
you get the money from? Are you going to ask Chandler for a loan?”
Erin’s expression became a little strained as she heard that. “We’ve already broken up.”
Althoughn knew that she’d moved out of Chandler’s vi, hearing her admit that she’d broken up with
him cleared any doubts he had.
“Is it because of those photos with Matthew?”
Erin didn’t want to tell him the truth and casually said. “You can assume that.”
“There’s nothing going on between us! It was a misunderstanding. I don’t want to talk about this
anymore!” Erin stood up in annoyance and returned to the sofa.
“Okay, don’t get worked up. I’ll stop asking.”
The two remained silent for five minutes beforen took the initiative to speak again. “How about this?
I’ll lend your father the money he needs. After all, I was once his son–inw. It’s reasonable for me toN?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
lend him a hand.”
His generosity wasn’t what Erin wanted, as she didn’t want to be involved with her former husband in
any way, especially when it came to
money.
n, thank you for being willing to help my dad even though we’re divorced, but I can’t ept this
arrangement.” Erin rejected his
suggestion outright.
Π
Eighty million dors was a hefty sum. Even ifn had that amount of money, it was still a significant
amount of money to him, and Erin understood that.
Thinking back to the time when they divorced,n was unwilling to give her anything. Erin couldn’t help
but remark, “You must be drunk to
say such nonsense.n, you have to understand that it’s eighty million, and not eight thousand dors!”
know it’s eighty million dors, but it’s worth it for you!”
Looking at how lovingn was behaving toward her right now, a wave of sadness overwhelmed Erin.
She used to wait for him toe home every night while he was out with other women. Now, the tables
had turned. He was willing to spend a huge amount of money to
buy her heart back.
Erin suddenly asked. “If I agree to remarry you, will you help me then?”
Erin smiled. She was just testing the waters with that question, and as expected, there were additional
conditions.
After a few seconds,n realized his blunder and quickly changed his statement. “Even If you don’t
remarry me, I’ll still help you.”
Erin looked at him with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes; her heart had long gone cold.n gazed at
her delicate beauty and momentarily lost himself. Her hair emitted a pleasant fragrance, and the
intoxicatedn found it irresistible.
He suddenly pinned Erin down on the sofa forcefully and said with a sense of urgency. “Erin, I’ve
missed you so much these past few days
“You’re drunk,n! Let go of me! If you keep this up, I’ll really get angry!” Erin struggled desperately and
started shouting.
“Help! Jack! Jack, are you home? Come and save me- Her shouts became muffled asn pressed a
hand over her mouth.<pn became enraged at her response. “Erin! Do you despise me this much? I’ve said nothing but kind
words! I’m even willing to fork out eighty million dors to help your father! What more do you want
from me? Tonight, I will make you mine no matter what you say!”
