Chapter 282 Eileen Would Never Do Such A Thing
The first time she met Sarah in her previous life, she initiated the meeting at a café in the same building ast Golden Corporation.
It was also in June when Hulbury had already become the number one city for economic development.
Towering skyscrapers surrounded the area,
The majority of the economic zone consisted of Golden Corporation employees.
The weather was scorching hot, the asphalt road simmering under the sun’s glare, subtly releasing tendrils of Blake smoke. The scent was acrid.
In the café, Sarah, with her lustrous, wavy hair gathered into a low ponytail, exuded an aura of competence and resilience. One look was enough to discern that she was a woman of formidable independence and power.
Facing such a person, Eileen couldn’t help but feel inferior. She had known her for a very long time.
Sarah was her husband’s most capable a*sistant.
Her eyes held a look of contempt and disdain. Eileen clutched her expensive handbag, feigning calmness as she asked, “Do you need something from me?”
With her red l*ps lifted in a confident smile, Sarah looked elegant and captivating! Surely, no man could resist such a woman.
“My time is precious. In ten minutes, I’ll be flying to Epea with Mr. Snow to discuss a business deal, so let’s keep this conversation brief.”
They were going to Epea, but Eric didin’t tell her.”
Sarah tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Actually, I know all about Mr. Snow’s past. He was adopted by your family. Although you’re the only one left today, I still want to say thank you on his behalf. To be honest, your father raised a good man. I quite like him too. After graduating from university, I’ve been by his side for a decade now. Mrs. Snow, you must have se
it too from Caerulus Corporation to the current Golden Corporation. To put it modestly, the Golden Corporation today also owes a part of its success to my efforts. I am the most suitable person to be with him.”
Eileen’s face turned pale. “What exactly are you trying to say?”
Sarah laughed as if mocking her for being a clown. “Don’t you get it even after all this talk? Has being a housewife for so long affected your thinking abilities? To put it plainly, the reason I asked to meet you. today is to encourage you to step back, divorce Eric, and relinquish your position as Mrs. Snow. Now, have you understood what I’ve said? Let me tell you something you don’t know! During the day, I may be Eric’s. a*sistant, but when night falls… I become his woman. The moment I joined the c
he proposed to
take care of me financially, and I agreed! Everyone says you’re magnanimous, but I think you’re just at fool…”
Regaining her senses, Eileen felt a heart-wrenching pain that left her breathless. She clutched her chest, struggling to breathe.
Sarah was the nightmare of her life.
Every time Eileen saw her, she couldn’t help but recall the words she had spoken and the pain that she and

Eric had inflicted upon her.
Suddenly, a hand patted her shoulder. Eileen quickly wiped away her tears and turned around, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Natalie looked at her with concern. “Eileen, have you been crying? What’s wrong?”
“I’m fine. The fine dust got into my eyes.”
“Do you want me to blow on them for you?” Natalie pouted, looking somewhat adorable.
“No need. I’m heading back to the exam hall. Don’t be late.””
“Wait for me. Let’s go together.”
Lionel was the one who drove to school today.
Eric said, “If you’re not feeling well, there’s no need to push yourself.”
Vera said, “It’s okay. I have to take the exam no matter what. Eric, you’ll come to pick me up when it’s over. right?”
Eric responded with a hum. “If you’re not feeling well, there’s no need to force yourself to continue the exam. Just give me a call.”
“Okay.”
Vera got out of the car..
Lionel drove away. “The Smith family has no intention of canceling the engagement with Ms. Eileen. They will proceed with the engagement ceremony as planned in three days. I don’t understand why you want to ruin this engagement, Mr. Snow. It would be entirely beneficial for you if Ms. Eileen married into the Smith family. And even if you want to ruin it, why don’t you directly reveal Nancy’s secrets to the Smith family? In this way, we won’t have to do so much.”
Eric appeared indifferent, his hand resting against the car window, his index finger rhythmically tapping at his temple. He seemed to be in high spirits today, so he candidly shared his thoughts. “The photo of Eileen is just a test for Jasper to see to what extent he can forgive Eileen.”
From what it seems, Jasper has truly fallen for Eileen. Ordinary people simply cannot tolerate betrayal.
Eric had expected Jasper to be able to forgive Eileen.
He continued, “And all she wants is to escape from me, to escape from the Swan family. Therefore, she can tolerate their past again and again. It’s a pity she still doesn’t understand me. The photo is just the beginning. No matter how powerful the Smith family is, Jasper is nothing more than a young man raised in a wealthy family. He doesn’t understand the wickedness of human nature. He doesn’t know the number of traps an animal, accustomed to years in the shadows, can set in its pursuit of prey.”
Even the most upright person can struggle to handle the hidden attacks from a villain.
In the end, it will be nothing but a tragic demise.
“Nancy’s secret is indeed a very useful weapon, but this is far from enough. Now is not the time to reveal it. What I want… is for her to remember deeply. As long as she doesn’t forget, there’s no chance for her to turn back. Having known her for over a decade, I understand her. Jasper may be forgiven for a single

betrayal, but repeated offenses? If Eileen’s disappointment in him continues to mount, she will eventually
leave him.”
“Nancy has been hiding this for so many years. Are you planning to reveal it at the engagement party?”
“As I said, these matters can only arise at the right time.”
It was just an engagement.

If Eileen were to get married, perhaps Eric would have done more.
He had always been successful in obtaining what he desired.
Even if he couldn’t attain it, he didn’t mind destroying it, just like Will’s feelings towards her.
The two days of examinations pa*sed quickly.
Afterward, they took a graduation photo together.
Jason had prepared a celebratory meal.
Eileen didn’t participate because she had to rush to take photos for her engagement ceremony the day.
after tomorrow.
Jasper had agreed to the plan of her studying at Pillere Art Academy for three months after their
engagement.
It would only be for three months. Jasper intended to make it their honeymoon, accompanying her in Pillere because he didn’t want to miss out either.
Inside the car. Jasper was on a call with Nancy.
“I won’t break off the engagement. Leaving Hulbury and going to Sloummont is your only option. This is the extent of my patience with you.”
On the other end of the phone, Nancy screamed hysterically, “I was sent to prison because of you, and all the pain and suffering I endured was because of her. I heard it with my own ears. It was all orchestrated by Eileen. She had those people torture me. I almost died in prison! Now you’re telling me you believe her? What makes you believe her?”
“I will thoroughly investigate the person who attacked you in prison. Eileen would never do such a thing.”
