Chapter 69 Like a Guardian Angel
Eric was wearing a simple, clean white shirt, with the cuffs rolled up to reveal his forearms. His faint veins were visible. Beneath the slightly open collar, his muscles were subtly outlined, and his entire presence exuded a unique, masculine energy.
Instinctively turned my head, feeling my ears burn. “Y–You’re here for business, right?”
He didn’t seem to notice my awkwardness and simply turned to glance at the private room I was heading to. “I happened to overhear Jeremiah and the others discussing you and got a little worried. So I decided to wait for you here.”
A warm feeling passed through me. It seemed that every time I got into trouble, he was always there for me. I silently apologized for the complaints I had previously made about him.
If I looked at it from another perspective, he was like my guardian angel. Whenever he was around, I felt much more at ease.
I smiled. “Don’t worry, I’m prepared this time. Since you’re already here, why not join me for a little show?”
He raised an eyebrow but didn’t say much, simply following my lead.
When we reached the door of the private room, I could hear voices inside. “Jeremiah, do you think Jane will really come? You two are practically getting a divorce, and she’s with another man now. It’s unlikely she’ll show up.”

Jeremiah snorted. “She’s with that man just to get under my skin. In the end, all she wants is for me to care abou long as 1 text her, she’ll definitely come. Just wait and see.”
Through the crack in the door, I saw him looking so confident, and I couldn’t help but sneer.
Jeremiah, Jeremiah… Things might not go as you thought this time.
I pushed the door open, and the room fell silent immediately. All eyes turned toward me. A few people whispered among themselves.
“I didn’t expect Jane to really show up. Looks like Jeremiah was right, she still loves him. How pathetic.”
“I’ve never seen a woman as shameless as Jane. First, she chased after Jeremiah, and now, she’s playing both sides to pressure him into taking her back.”
The comments made by Jeremiah’s friends were clear in my ears, but I didn’t pay them any attention. My gaze was fixed on him and Elsa.
To maintain her image in front of others, Elsa hid her smugness and immediately stood up with a smile, walking toward me. “Jane, you’re finally here. Actually, Jeremiah was just joking about the investors. There’s nothing serious. We just wanted you to come and have a few drinks with us.”
She reached out to link arms with me, but I pushed her away without hesitation. I took a step back, clearly distancing myself from her. “I’m not an escort. Why would I come here to drink with you? Whether you’re joking or not, I came here for the investors. If I don’t meet them, I won’t leave.”
Elsa’s expression darkened as she turned to look at Jeremiah.
Jeremiah, with a grim expression, tilted his head back and drank his champagne in one go. His gaze

“Jane, you don’t need to keep pretending. The fact that you’re here shows that you still love me.

“Since that’s the case, I can reluctantly forgive you for what happened before, but you have to promise me that you’ll never interact with other men again. Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to divorce you without hesitation!”
