Chapter 130 Managing Eileen
Ms. Eileen, are you satisfied now?”
That’s not what I meant,” Eileen said, looking at the abundance before her, and she knew she couldn’t finish it all.
“You’re still not satisfied even after I’ve given it to you? Tsk. You’re really hard to please.”
Eileen simply wanted to express her dissatisfaction.
After they finished eating, on their way back, he suddenly felt like studying and asked her to tutor him.
Normally at that hour, he would be at the bar, partying with the campus belle, singing and dancing the night away, surrounded by admirers. However, at that moment, he was actually taking the initiative to study.
The sky quickly faded into darkness at six o’clock.
As they arrived at the cla*sroom building, Eileen said, “Let’s continue studying tomorrow! You’re still not well. Take a day off and we’ll see.”
“I’ll wait for you for ten minutes. If you don’t come down by then, I’ll personally go up to get you.”
Eileen believed that he would do as he said.
In the end, she still gave in.
Eileen returned to her seat to pack up her things. With her backpack on, she was ready to leave. Suddenly, Yvette appeared in front of her.
“Are you heading back? Perfect timing! I just called Eric. I’ll go back with you,” Yvette said.
“I’m not going back. I’m going to the library to do some research.”
Yvette tugged at her arm, saying, “Don’t. I’ve already talked to Eric. We’re going to have dinner together tonight. I’ll play the mediator, helping to ease the tension between you two. Don’t worry, I’ll be there tonight. I’ll make sure to teach him a lesson so that he won’t dare to bully you again. You should consider moving back. It’s dangerous for you to be out there on your own. If Jasper knows about this, he’ll definitely be worried about you.”
Has the relationship between the two progressed so quickly? Did Eric tell her everything? Eileen was puzzled because her relationship with Eric was not as simple as that.
Chapter 180 Managing Eileen
Eileen brushed off Yvette’s hand and said, “Yvette, you’ve misunderstood. There’s no conflict between Eric and me. My house is still under renovation. It’s inconvenient to stay at Eric’s place, so I found a place outside to stay temporarily Besides, my studies are intense right now, and the place is close to school, so I don’t have to get up early. I’m just doing this for convenience. Whether Jasper knows about this matter isn’t important, and there’s no need for him to worry about me, I don’t want to cause him any trouble. Evening study is about to start. I should get going now.”
Yvette seemed a bit impatient, but she was trying hard to keep her cool. “Eileen!” She grabbed her and continued, “Eric is about to arrive. You won’t refuse to have dinner together, right? You said you two didn’t have a fight, so consider it as keeping me company, okay?”
“Sorry! I’ve already eaten. Maybe next time!” Eileen replied. If it weren’t for Eric, Yvette wouldn’t have paid me any attention at all. If she was merely using me to get close to Eric at first, she probably wouldn’t need me anymore now.
Yvette had her own unique way of getting what she wanted.
Yvette had lost her patience. Looking at Eileen’s retreating figure, her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. “Why are you so entangled with that illegitimate child? Jasper is back now, and he can’t stay in the Smith family for long. That illegitimate child will be driven out of Hulbury sooner or later. Who is more important. Eileen? How can you not understand? Whether you’re after money or power. Jasper is someone worth your allegiance!”
Eileen paused, turned around, and, from a distance, said to her, “I think you’ve misunderstood. I’ve never considered clinging to anyone, including Jasper. No matter what I do with Elm, none of you have the right to interfere!”
Yvette asked, “If you had to choose between Elm and Jasper, who would it be? Don’t you know you’re leading both of them on?”
They were at school and the entrance of the cla*sroom. Although the dozens of people present weren’t looking at the two of them, they were definitely pricking up their ears to listen.
“What’s the matter? Why have you gone silent?” Yvette walked toward Eileen, step by step, her aura completely transformed.
Yvette was a straightforward girl. Whatever she thought, she would say it directly, without beating around the bush. She did whatever she wanted. Even if she made mistakes, she knew there were people behind her who would cover for her.
However, Eileen was different. She could only rely on herself to break free from Will, to change her future. Every step I take now is shaping my future.
You’re not planning to string Jasper along while also entangling yourself with Elm, are you? Eileen, what exactly are you scheming? It would be better if you just came out and said it,”
what she was thinking? Did Jasper also think so when he found out I was with Elm last Does he think I’m stringing him along with being with Elmt Elleen looked at Yvette calmly aid, Now, I’ll clarify all these things you’ve mentioned. Who I’m with and what I do are private matters! No one can tell me otherwise! I know Jasper has helped me before, and I am truly grateful. He likes me, but I don’t have to follow your wishes and distance myself from Elm! That is your family matter. It has nothing to do with an outsider like me. If you insist on making me choose, I would still make the same decision as I have now.”
After all, she owed Elm that much.
Even if she didn’t owe Elm anything, no one had the right to tell her to distance herself from Elm.
Setting aside the past, Elm was actually a really kind person.
He would feed the stray cats at school and be polite/to others.
In fact, in the morning, when the elderly lady who set up her stall with a cart got the wheel stuck in a puddle, he would help push the cart from behind, and then casually walk away as if nothing happened.
He wasn’t as bad as people imagined.
“I’m not afraid. You can relay all of this to him. Yvette, I have my own life plan, and no one can hinder me. My goal is to get into Hulbury University. I won’t fall for anyone, nor will I waste my time on emotions. I will find the time to explain everything to Jasper. As for dinner, you should just go eat with Eric! I won’t be a third wheel.”
With that, Eileen left, and this time, Yvette didn’t try to stop her.
When Eileen reached the ground floor, Elm was leaning against the door, gazing down at the tips of his shoes.
“Let’s go,” Eileen said.
Elm silently followed her.
At half past seven in the evening, Yvette got into Eric’s car and sat in the pa*senger seat.
Her anger hadn’t subsided yet. She didn’t know where the anger was coming from, but she was feeling extremely upset.
She vented her frustrations to Eric, recounting the words that Eileen had said to her. “Are you going to take action or not?! If Eileen continues to get close to Elm, and Jasper finds out, he might terminate all business collaborations with your company. You better act before Jasper

Eric’s tone was cold as he replied. “I didn’t come here to listen to this. Where is she?
“How would i know? Forget about it. Let’s grab something to eat! I’m starving Yvette
fastened her seatbelt.
A shadow of gloom clouded Eric’s eyes, emitting a chilling aura.
In the next moment, he unfastened the seatbelt, opened the car door, and stepped out of the car. Yes. I definitely need to take action
“Where are you going?” Yvette asked.
