Ericâs 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 Hendrickâ 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 âAngieâ.
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 Angieâs 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.
Ericâs eyes were dark and pitch-black.
â I donât owe you anything. The check I gave you was enough to hire twenty local mercenaries who
donât care about dying.â
Angie smiled with ruthlessness inside her eyes.
âI know, but itâs not the money I want. I just wanted you to remember me.â
Angie did not care about money. She cared about this person!
âOriginally, I wasnât anxious. You married Nicole, but you didnât like her. I was relieved to know that you
two were not living happily, so I waited until she left on her own.â
A trace of reluctance flashed in Angieâs eyes.
âBut after she left, you fell for her instead? I could only come up with this method to come to you. As
long as youâre willing, we can be together, Eric. With your current background and power, youâll only
grow even stronger.â
She smiled. âYouâll even surpass everyone else. For you, I can get rid of the threat of Stanton
Corporation.â
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.
âNo need for that. Weâre not that close, Angie.â
Angieâs face stiffened faintly. âWeâll be close soon. Nicole left you, so you need me.â
Ericâs tone was slightly threatening.
âIâll say this again. Donât mention Nicoleâs name. I donât need a stand-in either.â
Angieâs smile froze for a split second before she laughed.
âOkay, we wonât talk about her. Letâs talk about Mr. Charles Ferguson instead. You wonât just stand
back and do nothing for your father, right?â
Eric looked at her coldly. âAre you threatening me?â
His tone was tinged with danger.
Angie said, âItâs just a trade-off. In our law of existence, anything can be traded. Now, Iâm just trading
Charles for marriage with you.â
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.
âTrading 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.â
Angie froze for a moment but quickly laughed.
âIt doesnât matter. The end goal is the same anyway.â
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.
âDo as you please.â
