Chapter 324
Alda was so frightened that she took a step back. Luckily, Eric had helped her up in time. Otherwise, she would have fallen to the ground this time. Her forehead was covered in a cold sweat and her voice was trembling. “You… you can’t be impartial. She was the one who pushed me…”
Harold seemed to be too lazy to say anything more to her. He tilted his head slightly and said, “Luke.” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Yes,” Luke responded and slowly walked out. He smiled politely at Alda and said, “Hello, Mrs. Coombs.”
“What… what are you going to do?”
Luke smiled. “Don’t be nervous, Mrs. Coombs. I won’t hit a woman, much less a pregnant woman.”
Before Alda could heave a sigh of relief, she heard Luke say again, “But we also have many other means. I always think that spiritual destruction is much more terrible than physical torture. I wonder if Mrs. Coombs agrees with my words or not.”
Alda was about to burst into tears because of the strong pressure.
She came from a humble background and managed to climb into Eric’s bed with her beauty. She became the mistress of the Coombs family. However, it was hard for her to change the fear of the upper class in her bones. Harold and Luke had made her feel unprecedented pressure.
“This is Pina Garden!” Alda forced herself to calm down and said, “It’s the Coombs family’s territory!” She hurriedly looked at Eric. “Eric! Say something, Eric!”
Eric took a deep breath and said, “… Master White, on account of my old face, don’t argue with her. She’s young and ignorant…”
Harold smiled and said in a gentle voice, “Who do you think you are?”
“…” Eric’s face instantly turned ashen with anger, but he didn’t dare to lose his temper.
Corey did not give him any face as he laughed out loud.
“I’ve been very busy recently.” Harold looked at the time. “It’s getting dark.”
Luke understood and replied to Eric, “We will take Mrs. Coombs away for a few days.”
After a pause, he added, “Don’t worry, I promise she and the baby in her belly will be fine.”
Although that was the case, how could Eric not have heard of Harold’s methods? If Alda had been taken away, she would have gone mad.
Alda didn’t know how terrible these people were, but her female intuition told her that she couldn’t go with them. She cried, “Eric… you can’t agree!”
Eric gritted his teeth and hardened his heart as he said, “You…” He glanced at Crystal and said, “Apologize to this young lady!”
“What?!” Alda shrieked, “You want me to apologize to her?! I’m the victim!”
“Do as I say if you don’t want to die!” Eric snapped. “Otherwise, I won’t be able to save you!”
Alda’s body shook.
Eric had never been angry with her, nor had he ever asked her to apologize to anyone. Who on earth were these people?!
“…” Alda took a deep breath and said, “Okay, I apologize.”
She clenched her fists, squeezed out a smile, and said, “… I’m sorry, I was wrong about you before. I’m really sorry. I hope you can forgive me.”
As she spoke, she bowed.
Alda could get her current position due to her scheming methods. She knew when to advance and retreat. If she entered a poor alley, she could simply give up her dignity just to live.
Crystal hadn’t expressed her opinion toward Alda’s apology. Harold lowered his eyelids slightly.and said in a casual tone, “Didn’t you ask her to kneel down and apologize before?”
“Mrs. Coombs’s apology is not sincere enough.”
