Chapter 159 I Don’t Need Your Lessons
Eileen sat at the dining table, poking at the rice in her bowl, while recounting the entire story to Will with her head down
That’s how it happened
Will was taken aback to learn that the heir of the Smith family had been living next door all along
He had completely missed thus detail
“Remember what the etiquette teacher taught you about proper table manners. You’re not allowed to keep your head down like this. It’s utterly disgraceful! Don’t embarra*s the Swan family when you’re at the Smith residence.”
“I understand, Father.” After being scolded. Eileen immediately straightened her baci and sat upright. Will’s tone was surprisingly milder and less harsh than before.
“No need to be so strict at home, Father.”
Walking behind them, Vera glanced at Eileen.
It had been a while since she last saw Eileen, and the latter seemed even more beautiful.
Her once gaunt cheeks had gained some flesh, making her facial features more delicate.
Holding two bottles of coffee beans, Eric said, “These are civet coffee. You put some effort into this, right? I appreciate it.”
“As it should be.”
After the housekeeper took away the coffee, Eric took off his suit and draped it over the back of the chair, then sat down in front of Eileen.
“You’re here right on time. Have you had your meal?”
Eric replied, “Not yet. I just brought Vera back, and I thought I’d stop by for dinner at home.”
The housekeeper quickly brought over two sets of tableware.
“Perfect, let’s eat together then. There’s no need to be so formal at home.”
“Yes, Father.”
Eileen calmly ate her meal, listening to Eric and Will discussing recent developments in the

The discussion focused on Caeralus Corporation winning Smith Corporation’s project, which involved developing a new commercial area in an old residential district.
Listening to the geographical details, Eileen speculated roughly on the location.
It seemed to be the most prosperous commercial area in Hulbury in the future. Ten years later, it might even be twenty times more valuable than its current state.
It was clear that Jasper’s vision was quite impressive, foreseeing the potential of this area.
Previously, Eric was the one who initially noticed this piece of land. It was his starting point. Later, because of this piece of land, Eric made quite a bit of money.
This time, it was taken down by the Smith family first.
“However, I plan to negotiate with Smith Corporation and secure it at a reasonable price.
When Eileen heard this, her eyelashes fluttered. The food on her spoon sl*pped and fell to the ground.
The housekeeper attending on the side quickly grabbed a tissue and picked up the fallen food, throwing it into the trash.
The only one who noticed Eileen’s abnormality was Eric. He glanced at her indifferently, then withdrew his gaze.
Will expressed his concern, “I remember that location is in the suburbs, and there are quite a few old houses nearby. No one cares about it. If Smith Corporation can buy that piece of land, it means the local government is planning to redevelop the area. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have taken it. If you want it, they won’t easily give it up.”
Eric replied calmly, “You don’t need to worry about this, Father. I have my ways.”
Will knew exactly what was going on but chose not to say anything more.
Why is Eric so insistent on having that piece of land? Did he also reincarnate, and am I not the only
one?
During this meal, Eileen ate absentmindedly.
Unable to sit still, she only spent about ten minutes eating and then went upstairs.
Tomorrow would be New Year’s Eve, so Eric and Vera would stay at home tonight.
As she went upstairs, a housekeeper hurriedly walked out of a room she used to stay in. This

Was Elsie’s room Seving the housekeeper carrying a basin lull of fresh blood, Fiteen was alarmed and asked. “What happened to Aunt Elsie?”
The housekeeper lowered her head and said. “She accidentally cut herself. Ms. Eileen, don’t worry. The doctor is already treating her.”
Observing the housekeeper’s expression. Eileen could tell that things weren’t as simple as they seemed. However, she didn’t ask further. Knowing too much wouldn’t be a good thing
Eileen went upstairs. In the past, Elsie had indeed been hospitalized at this time due to illness and recuperated for more than half a month. Eileen didn’t know the specific reasons.
Why is she home this time?
After her reincarnation, it seemed as though some things had changed, yet it also felt as if nothing had changed at all.
In the end, things still proceeded toward the same fate they were originally destined for.
In such a situation, Eileen was also worried. She didn’t know if Eric had drugged her again.
She wasn’t sure about her current health condition. Besides her uterine abnormality, she wondered what other symptoms she might have.
Will it mutate into cancer cells?
To prevent such situations, Eileen now went to the hospital for a physical examination every half a month.
Reaching the fifth floor, she found her door had been replaced with an ordinary one.
A mirror was hung on the door. Opening it, she saw her wardrobe. The layout was roughly the same as before, but the bed’s position had changed.
The rest of the changes didn’t have much of an impact on her either.
The bed she used to sleep in had been moved to the Smith residence, so this bed…
It was brand new, so it must have been recently purchased.
The most important thing was her paintings.
The housekeepers were moving her belongings upstairs when Eileen anxiously asked, “Where are my paintings?”
“Ms. Eileen, we are not sure about this.”

The catalog that Jasper gave me….
Ideen hurriedly ran into the walk-in closet, finding the item hidden deepest at the bottom of
the wardrobe.
Seeing those crucial items. Eileen almost breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, everything is here”
Hearing footsteps in the room, Eileen quickly hid her paintings, covering them with neatly folded clothes. She closed the drawer and walked out
Eric was leisurely surveying her room. The decor is quite good, but it can get windy here at night. You might catch a cold while sleeping, so remember to cover yourself with the
blanket.”
Eileen ignored him. Whether she caught a chill or not was none of his business.
She casually retrieved her workbook from her bag and placed it on the table. Suddenly, another thought crossed her mind.
Eileen cautiously inquired, “Eric, have you also returned?”
She met his intense and intimidating gaze.
Eric narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean by ‘return?”
Hasn’t he been reincarnated?
He took a step forward and used the back of his cool hand to ch*ck her forehead. “You’re not sick!”
Eileen immediately stepped back, creating distance between them. “I apologize, I got distracted and misspoke. I need to study now, so please make yourself comfortable.”
When will he stop entering without knocking?
She sat at the desk, allowing the sunlight streaming through the window to warm her hands.
Eric pulled a chair and sat beside her. “If there’s anything you don’t understand, I’ll teach you.”
Eileen tightly gripped her pen. “Eric, do you realize how you appear right now?”
She looked at him, her expression composed. Her gaze then shifted to the hand resting on. her leg.
“Like a wild animal, constantly in heat.”

sar canied her ups, mocking him sare astically
Er however, didn’t mind at all. Amused, he pulled her up and placed her on his lap Filting his head, he playfully looked at her. “So now you know how to insult people indirectly?
“You’ve always been like this” Eileen avoided making eye contact. I still have a lot of thing to do. Please don’t disturb me.”
I said I would teach you the problems you don’t know”
I know everything I don’t need you to teach me
