Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 340

Chapter 340

“I am referring to the matter you told me on WhatsApp last night about someone asking for your help. Who is this person?”

“I’m not telling you that,” Eric dismissed firmly.

Suddenly, my face fell. So I changed tactics. “Do I know this person?”

Eric squinted at me as he replied with a half smile, “Yes.”

“Is a woman?”

“Sim.”

Could it really be Jolene? But why would she think to ask him for help? His mood changes like the wind, and I don’t think he’s a person who gives in easily. So how could she be sure he would help her?

As I turned this over in my mind, Eric suddenly burst out laughing as he looked at me. “You usually seem naive and stupid, so I really didn’t expect you to have the ability to set someone up.”

“Arm someone?” I looked at him in bewilderment.

“Don’t tell me you weren’t the one who set up your best friend’s brother?”

“Of course, it wasn’t me.”

“Don’t you think you should stop making a fool of yourself when things got to this point? If it wasn’t you, why were you so anxious?”

Suddenly, my mind short-circuited. So he blatantly threatened me last night because he thought I was the one who set Robin up. I laugh dryly. “This matter really has nothing to do with me. I don’t have time to do such a thing. Turns out I knew about it, and you brought it with me, so I didn’t want the end result to change.” He knows all about my broken marriage, so I don’t have to pretend. I can just be honest with him.

I thought Eric would make fun of me like he has in the past, but to my surprise, he didn’t. Instead, he seriously asked me, “Were you distressed when you heard everything?”

I never planned on telling a third person about my marriage falling apart other than Isabella, but when I caught a glimpse of her earnest look, I blurted out, “Yes. I was so distressed that I once considered committing suicide.”
