NovelBookChapter 587: She didn't aim to ruin Linda; her priority was securing Elissa's safety.
"Hadley." Eric's voice had lost its earlier harshness and sounded gentler now. "I want you to return to me, to be my girlfriend again." What? Hadley was taken aback.
Could he really be serious? Defending Linda one moment and pursuing her the next? "Eric..." Hadley was baffled. "Are we even on the spage? Don't you remember the video I have of Linda?" "I'm fully aware of that," Eric casually mentioned, his hands relaxed in his pockets.

"Curious to find out who's quicker-you or my entire company's resources?" Hadley felt a chill, standing rigidly as her skin broke out in a cold sweat.
"You don't worry about your employees seeing Linda's less flattering side?" she snapped.
Eric shook his head with ease. "Not at all. They're loyal to Flynn Group. Throw enough money their way, and no secret ever gets out." His eyes fixed on her, and he smirked subtly. "Doubtful? Try me. At my signal, your phone, your online presence -any step you take could be neutralized." Feeling cornered, Hadley closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes fluttering against the tension.
How could she possibly prevail against someone as formidable as Eric? Yet, agreeing to his demands wasn't an option for her! New papers formatted in glnovèl.om She had only agreed to be with him because she needed to conceive his child-she had no desire to entangle herself with him again now that she was expecting! Moreover, what if she went back to him and he discovered that she was now pregnant? "Eric," Hadley interjected, steeling herself to stand her ground. She gestured towards Ayla. "You already have a girlfriend. I'm not necessary in your life." "Oh, her," Eric responded with a light chuckle, lifting his brow but offering no further clarification.
"I considered your advice, ventured into dating someone else, finding a new partner..." His eyes then settled on Hadley, capturing her gaze.
"But you know what? I gave it a try... and it just didn't feel right. None of them compare to you. You're the one I truly desire." His breath was warm on her skin, causing Hadley to shudder involuntarily. She fixed him with a stern look, her lips sealed tightly, choosing to...

Eric's soft laughter echoed around them, patient and unhurried. "Not talking? It's okay. This isn't a small decision. Take all the tyou need to think it through. When you're ready, call me. However-"
Eric's friendly demeanor dimmed, his voice becoming more stern. "Youn have only one shot at this: I'm interested in your choice, not your excuses." Then, he reached for her hand.
"What?" Hadley recoiled slightly, puzzled. “Why are you doing this?" Was he planning to forcibly take her with him now?
"Relax, okay?" Eric gave a slight shake of his head, his expression one of resignation. “No need to worry promised you time, and I'll honor that. Since you chere with me, it's only right that I take you back." Surely, he couldn't just leave her here by herself, could he?
