?Chapter 1152:


    “What brings you here today?” he asked.


    N had been out for a walk and happened to pass by the Flynn Group.


    On impulse, she decided to check in.


    What she saw left her fuming.


    “Humph.” N sneered and fixed an icy re on Eric. “Good thing I dropped by. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known your so-called resignation was nothing but an act.”


    “Grandma, that’s not it!” Ernest frowned.


    Eric’s breath caught, and his face turned ghastly pale. “I didn’te here for anything else. I just needed Ernest’s help.”


    “Help? What help?” N snapped, ignoring his exnation. “I heard everything! Xander and Theodore both work for the Flynn Group. What right do you have tomand them?”


    “Grandma!” Ernest’s voice rose in panic. “Eric only came to borrow them!”


    “Borrow?” N rubbed her temples, feeling a headacheing on.


    “Ernest, if that’s the case, why would you say he still has a say in thepany and our family?”


    “Grandma—”


    “Don’t ‘Grandma’ me! Ernest, he’s just pretending to step back, but in truth, he’s still after control of the Flynn Group!”


    “Grandma, stop!” Ernest snapped, unable to take it any longer.


    “Ernest…” Eric forced a smile, his eyes downcast andshes trembling slightly. “Don’t raise your voice at Grandma.”


    Then, he lifted his head and smiled at N. “Grandma, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t havee. I’ll go now. You don’t have to worry. The Flynn Group belongs to Ernest. No one will take that from him.”


    “I grew up under the Flynn family’s care. I won’t betray you.”


    Without another word, he turned and walked out of the CEO’s office.


    “Eric!” Ernest moved to chase after him.

    But N grabbed his arm and held him back. “Ernest, stop!”


    “Grandma!” Ernest clutched his head, overwhelmed. “After all this time, why can’t you see it?”


    “It’s you who doesn’t see it!” N snapped.


    “No!” Ernest firmly shook his head. “Grandma, you really think Eric’s after the Flynn Group? After our family’s wealth?”


    “Isn’t he?” N argued, firm in her stance. “Who wouldn’t be tempted by that kind of fortune?”


    “A man of honor earns his wealth with dignity!” Ernest took a deep breath and continued, “Eric’s not someone driven by money. He’s Ferris Scott’s son! If he wanted riches, the entire Scott family fortune could’ve been his. But he turned it down. So why would he fight me over thispany?”


    N froze.


    Eric… was Ferris’ son?


    Eric drove back to Hadley’s ce. Since he couldn’t secure extra help, he would stay and guard her himself.


    Even though she didn’t want to see him, he couldn’t stop himself from wanting to do something for her.


    He sat quietly in the car, eyes fixed on the lights glowing from her apartment window.
