Mandy's reaction was the opposite of Brittany's.
After confirming her live-in son-in-law hailed from a prestigious family, she got so excited that her entire body started trembling.
“Brittany, we're going to be rich! You're going to be part of the wealthy Sinclair family, which means you're going from living in poverty to living a life of luxury!” Mandy grabbed Brittany's arms and shook her in excitement as if she could barely contain her joy.
Eren's ego was boosted when he noticed their exhilaration.
A while later, he grew impatient and snapped, “I'm hungry. What are you still doing out here?”
Hearing that, Mandy was about to chide him for being useless.
She had just parted her lips when Brittany quickly covered her mouth and replied, “We'll go cook now!”
She then dragged her mother toward the kitchen.
Cold sweat beaded on Mandy's forehead when she realized what she had nearly done. She flashed an ingratiating smile and added, “Yes, my dear Eren. Watch some television while I finish preparing dinner for us. It won't take long!”
Eren was pleased with the change in their attitudes, but he feigned displeasure and hollered, “Hurry up! If I suffer from an upset stomach due to hunger, can you take responsibility for it?”
He then watched television as he waited for dinner to be served.
Inside the kitchen, the ladies had yet to become acclimated to the sudden shift in Eren's demeanor.
Brittany strode back into the living room.
“Eren, you might be part of the Sinclair family, but I'll still look down on you if you cannot force Harold to come here and kneel in apology,” she declared, biting her sexy lip.
Her eyes were already gorgeous enough. Eren nearly lost his self-control when he caught sight of her biting her lip in a sensual manner. He wanted nothing more than to pounce on her and ravage her on the couch.
However, he forced himself to tamp down his desire as it would be less interesting if he were to force himself on her.
It will only take a few days to solve the matter, anyway.
“Don't worry. If Harold doesn't show up in three days to offer you an apology, I swear I'll never touch you in this lifetime!” Eren vowed confidently.
“Okay. I'll await your good news, then.”
Brittany's heart raced with anticipation as she heard Eren promise that Harold would kneel before her and ask for her forgiveness.
Back at Galaxy Media, the entire company erupted into chaos when the employees came back to work in the afternoon.
That morning, Ricky released a statement as the person in charge of Freya Group in Dellmoor. He warned that any individual or organization that chose to collaborate with Galaxy Media would be going against Freya Group.
Every company in Dellmoor except for Larson Corporation was stunned to hear the news. They immediately ceased all their partnerships and collaborations with Galaxy Media.
Those who owed Galaxy Media money didn't even want to pay them.
“Mr. White, bad news! Waterblue Properties ended their collaboration with us!”
“Mr. White, Skyriver Enterprise also informed us that they would stop providing building materials to us!”
Just a few moments after they started working, the business manager and various heads of department rushed to Matthew's office to give him the bad news.
Nevertheless, Matthew had seemingly anticipated this outcome. Upon hearing their accounts, he looked grim, but there was no sign of panic.
