Chapter 38 Hush
Ruth’s sudden expression startled Lana. However, she quickly smiled satisfactorily and signaled her men to release Ruth. “I agree with working together with you,” she said.
Lana turned and left with her men.
She had to redo her styling and change into a new evening gown. Being thrown out of the Emperor Hotel in such a sorry state had left her feeling resentful towards Kate.
However, Lana’s mood improved when she recalled Ruth’s words.
Lowe Group and Kate. Hmph!
So what if you guys have Eric’s support? Sooner or later, I will crush Kate and the Lowe Group under my feet!
Meanwhile, at the Emperor Hotel.
The mess on the ground had been cleaned up. Hendrick rushed over anxiously upon hearing about his sister’s altercation, but he was relieved when he saw that Kate was unharmed.
However, he couldn’t help but notice his sister in Eric’s arms.
After Eric had the others thrown out, Kate nestled into his arms and clung to him tightly, as if seeking comfort.
Eric remained seated with a cold demeanor.
A group of people who were here to discuss cooperation with Eric was sitting opposite him. They were trying hard to focus on the conversation and to ignore Kate in Eric’s arms.
Kate showed no embarrassment despite being watched. She continued to hold onto Eric, resting her head on his chest and closing her eyes.
Eric looked down to see Kate asleep in his arms.
His heart and gaze softened.
“Mr. Eric…”
Someone handed a cooperation proposal to Eric, but before they could speak,
Eric silenced them with a cold glare. “Hush!”
The man froze and understood immediately when he saw Kate. “Got it.”
Then, he explained the proposal in a low voice. It was the longest and most torturous few minutes in his life. He had to be mindful of not disturbing Kate.

rumored to be at odds with him!
The rumors seem to be false as they were affectionate with each other.
Kate was the first woman that Eric had treated meticulously.
After leaving the proposal to Eric, the man quietly left.
He was careful not to make any noise that might wake Kate.
Finished
Eric glanced at Kate with a straight face. He moved a little but it didn’t affect her. She was still asleep in his arms.
She held onto him tightly, showing her attachment toward him.
Eric faintly smiled. Even after three years, her display of attachment still pleased him.
It was the first time Kate had publicly acknowledged him as her husband and acted so intimately.
The tension surrounding Eric eased slightly as he casually scanned the Emperor Hotel. Suddenly, his gaze fixed in one direction with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
