Read Chapter 1429 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat
Eric’s face sank. He pursed his lips, and his eyes were sharp.
Back then, Eric had approached the people at the top. The upper brass could not do anything about it, and it was impossible to risk more lives because of a corpse.
At that time, an arms dealer approached him and said that she could help him. That person was Angie.
He originally did not believe her, but she did it.
She brought Hendrick’ s body back in one piece and delivered it to Eric.
Eric still remembered that he asked what her conditions were.
Angie did not want anything. She just told him to remember the name “Angie”.
However, before he left, Eric still left a small check a s payment.
He did not like to owe others.
Later, Eric returned home with the corpse and left his unit. No matter which forces he stepped into, he made connections quickly, and his power was no longer that simple rookie in the unit.
He found out about Angie’s identity, the arms dealers, and the light and dark zones.
Today, Eric was able to stand tall and look down on them, and even take control of them.
It was just so he could protect the people he wanted to protect.
Eric’s eyes were dark and pitch-black.
“ I don’t owe you anything. The check I gave you was enough to hire twenty local mercenaries who don’t care about dying.”
Angie smiled with ruthlessness inside her eyes.
“I know, but it’s not the money I want. I just wanted you to remember me.”
Angie did not care about money. She cared about this person!
“Originally, I wasn’t anxious. You married Nicole, but you didn’t like her. I was relieved to know that you two were not living happily, so I waited until she left on her own.”
A trace of reluctance flashed in Angie’s eyes.
“But after she left, you fell for her instead? I could only come up with this method to come to you. As long as you’re willing, we can be together, Eric. With your current background and power, you’ll only grow even stronger.”
She smiled. “You’ll even surpass everyone else. For you, I can get rid of the threat of Stanton Corporation.”
Angie did a lot of homework and knew that the only one who could be on par with Ferguson Corporation was Stanton Corporation.
Who did not want to be the boss?
Eric suppressed the deep chill and disgust in his eyes.
“No need for that. We’re not that close, Angie.”
Angie’s face stiffened faintly. “We’ll be close soon. Nicole left you, so you need me.”
Eric’s tone was slightly threatening.
“I’ll say this again. Don’t mention Nicole’s name. I don’t need a stand-in either.”
Angie’s smile froze for a split second before she laughed.
“Okay, we won’t talk about her. Let’s talk about Mr. Charles Ferguson instead. You won’t just stand back and do nothing for your father, right?”
Eric looked at her coldly. “Are you threatening me?”
His tone was tinged with danger.
Angie said, “It’s just a trade-off. In our law of existence, anything can be traded. Now, I’m just trading Charles for marriage with you.”
She spoke naturally as if she did not feel how outrageous and abominable her decision was.
Eric narrowed his eyes. A sharp trace of danger flashed by.
“Trading is taking something of yours to exchange for another thing from someone else, not taking something from someone else and forcing them to do something.”
Angie froze for a moment but quickly laughed.
“It doesn’t matter. The end goal is the same anyway.”
She did not care whether it was a threat or a trade.
Eric reached out to take the cigarette on the table and lit it. As smoke wafted in the air, he spoke in a cold and deep voice that seemed like it was soaked in ice.
“Do as you please.”
