Chapter 204 Has He Ever Been So Clingy
Eileen flashed a casual smile. “I’m fine. Do you need something from me?”
Sneaking a glance around, Natalie leaned in close to Eileen’s ear and whispered, “Elm has returned to Cla*s Six, and Calliope has gone. with him.”
Upon hearing the news, Eileen remained impa*sive. “There’s no need to tell me about his affairs. I’m going to the restroom.”
“What’s the point of looking into this? No matter how much you dig, the answer remains the same.” Zachary slid the yellow file folder across the table to the man sitting opposite him.
Zachary looked at his gloomy face. The more he acted like this, the more maliciously happy. he became.
There was a saying-one’s happiness should never be built on another’s pain.
This was exactly what Zachary meant.
He wrapped his arm around the seductive woman next to him, crossing his legs. “This document has been checked over and over again, a dozen times, exactly as you requested. It’s always the same. If you don’t believe me, how about… I send you the video I recorded?”
The man silently picked up the file bag and stood up. His gloomy gaze casually swept over him. “You’d better keep your mouth shut.”
“Don’t worry. I a*sure you it’s foolproof.”
“Eric! Be careful. Don’t get yourself involved.”
After Eric left, the woman beside him snuggled up to the man sweetly. “Darling, what did you give him?”
Zachary leaned toward the woman’s ear, his warm breath whispering two words, “A secret!” His
gaze then shifted toward the woman emerging from the private room across.
However, she also spotted him. The woman’s expression changed dramatically. She whispered something to the person next to her and then headed for the restroom.
Zachary left the people around him, put one hand in his pocket, and walked away.
“Where are you going. Darling?”
Zachary chose not to pay any attention.

Cynthia had been in the women’s restroom for quite a while. The last time, someone had drugged her, and she had inexplicably ended up being intimate with him.
It was not allowed due to their identities.
Also… she was also his sister-in-law.
How could it possibly be allowed between them…
Half an hour had pa*sed. Cynthia glanced at her reflection in the mirror, thinking that he had already left. As she calmly walked out of the restroom, she suddenly saw a man leaning against the exit as if he was waiting for her.
Cynthia, frightened, was about to run away when the man quickly grabbed her and pulled her into the opposite fire escape corridor.
He pressed her hands against the wall and leaned down to k*ss her neck.
Cynthia was completely immobilized. “No… You can’t do this. Zack, you’ve gone too far.”
Zachary paused, planting an intimate k*ss on her face. “That night, do you remember how much
you clung to me? You just couldn’t get enough! Cynthia… has my elder brother ever experienced you being this clingy?”
“Ah! I forgot! He doesn’t even bother to glance at you. That day… it was your first time! What a pity he can’t experience your enchanting charm.”
Cynthia pulled her hand away, forcefully slapping him across the face. “Shut up.” Thinking back to that night, Cynthia was filled with regret. It was a moment of impulsiveness that led to a huge mistake. She shouldn’t have drunk that gla*s of wine, then none of this would have happened.
She and this brother-in-law of hers had absolutely no interaction in the Xenos residence. He was inherently flirtatious and never came home.
Even when it came to speaking, she hadn’t uttered more than three sentences in the year since she married into the Xenos family.
The number of times they met was incredibly few. The first time was at the wedding, and the second… was when she woke up next to him.
“I don’t want to bring up what happened that day again. Zachary, I hope you remember that even if we…” She was too embarra*sed to finish her sentence, hoping he would understand. “It you don’t want to keep making the same mistakes, it’s best to stop here! If you dare to bother me again, I won’t let you off easily.”
“Alright then, I’m curious to see, how exactly do you plan on not letting me oll? Are you

going to bite or hold me back to keep me from leaving? Hmm?”
A blush swept over Cynthia’s face, and she bit her l*p. “Zachary!”
“Cynthia, do you want more?”
Cynthia had always been a soft-spoken person in the Xenos family, never retaliating when. scolded by her in-laws. But this time, she couldn’t hold back her anger anymore. The bag in her hand was thrown directly at him, and her high-heeled foot stomped hard on the top of
his foot.
Zachary hissed, and his brows furrowed tightly.
Cynthia, her pretty face flushed with embarra*sment, grabbed her bag and ran off without looking back, deeply afraid that the person behind her might catch up again.
Sitting in the car, she opened the mirror, looking at the marks on her neck. Her delicate. eyebrows furrowed. She took out her foundation, using it to cover these shameful red traces.
That previous night, Cynthia was in a terrible state. Hardly a part of her was alright. She even lied about going out of town for medical treatment and didn’t return for seven or eight days.
She had an affair with her brother-in-law, a thought she dared not entertain. What will happen if they find out?
We can’t go on like this.
Let’s wait for the right time to completely resolve this matter.
Caerulus Corporation.
CEO’s Office.
Gavin knocked on the door and walked into the office to deliver some documents. He didn’t see Eric in the office, but his gaze unintentionally fell upon a certain document.
DNA test.
Who is Mr. Snow planning to do a blood relation test with?
“What are you looking at?” Eric’s icy voice emerged from the lounge as he wiped the water stains off his hands with a tissue.
“Nothing” Gavin quickly averted his gaze. “Mr. Snow, these are the meeting documents organized today, and there are a few projects that need your signature.
Eric responded, “Hmm, understood

After Gavin left the office. Eric retrieved the report, walked over to the shredder, and reduced it to fragments.
In that moment, her words echoed in his ears. “He’s completely honest with me. At least he never pressures me! Eric, you can never compare to him!”
Eric had never felt as frustrated as he did now, his mind a jumbled mess.
At eight in the evening. Eric answered the phone and prepared to leave the office.
Gavin stood just outside the door, matching his pace with Eric as they headed towards the elevator. “Mr. Snow, we’re under close surveillance right now. If you step in, it will give us away. I can handle this situation. The company can’t afford to lose you.”
Eric pressed the elevator button to go down. “Not leaving work?”
Gavin pursed his l*ps. “Mr. Snow…”
“That’s enough.” Eric interrupted. “It’s not your place to tell me what to do. If you want to follow, then follow.”
Primas Plaza.
Luxury private room.
In Caerulus Corporation’s planning department, a few employees who had been drinking were all unconscious. Chandler, with a smug smile, placed his hand on an intern’s thigh “Missy, can’t you handle it anymore? I haven’t even finished my drinks yet. If you can please me with drinks tonight, we can easily discuss the contract signing.”
“Why do you have to make things difficult for an intern. Mr. Hackett?”
Upon seeing the newcomer, an employee from Caerulus Corporation immediately stood up
to offer them a seat. “Mr. Snow.”
With a nod from Eric, someone promptly brought over a set of plates and cutlery
