Eric’s eyes went wide. “Why is she here?”
The maid looked flustered. “I’m not sure. She brought a whole group with cameras, at least a dozen people.”
A wave of dread washed over Eric. He stiffened, instantly on guard. “Whatever you do, don’t let them in.”
“Yes, sir.” The maid nodded, but before she could even turn around, Theresia and her crew had already swept inside.
Felton leapt up, blocking their path and pointing at Theresia. “You can’t just walk in here without permission. This is someone’s home. I could call the cops and have you all arrested.”
His words made the people behind Theresia shift nervously. They glanced at each other, clearly uneasy. Theresia, though, stood at the front, cool and collected with a little smile on her lips. “Felton, you really don’t know what my relationship with Eric is?”
She stepped closer, her voice dropping low so only Felton could hear. “How is it trespassing to visit my own father?”
Felton’s fists balled up, his face twisted with anger. “You… Theresia, don’t push your luck. Your mother was trash. She seduced my father and had you—”
A sharp slap echoed through the room. Theresia didn’t give Felton a chance to recover. She grabbed his collar, her eyes as cold as steel. “Felton, you better watch what you say.”
Felton just stood there, stunned. Theresia had actually slapped him? The same girl who used to barely speak up had just hit him right in the face?
His eyes flashed red with fury. “Theresia!”
She shoved him aside, pulling out a wet wipe as if even touching him was beneath her. Her cold glare said everything—she was here for Eric, not to waste time on Felton.
Theresia walked over to the sofa and sat across from Eric. “Eric, long time no see.”
Her gaze slid up to the second-floor study. “I’ve heard you’re quite the collector. How about you show us your collection today? Eric, you wouldn’t turn us down, would you?”
Eric shot up, blocking her way. “That’s not a good idea. What if something gets damaged? Who would be responsible for that?”
His tone was all warning.
Theresia’s lips curled into a sly smile. “What are you so nervous about, Eric? Got something to hide?”
Eric was barely holding it together, his face darkening. “Theresia, I’m warning you. Don’t take it too far.”
She just looked at him coolly. “That’s not for you to decide.”
