Bab 413: Exceptional Charm with the Opposite Sex

Lauren complained, saying that Eric was far too powerful and irresistible to women. In her eyes, any woman who saw him couldn't help but want to cling to him. 

Ella smiled faintly and walked out of the room with Lauren. Sure enough, they found a woman with a crazed expression blocking Eric's path. 

Eric frowned slightly—this maid had actually tracked him down. 

"Anne, the opportunity has passed. I'm sorry," Eric said coolly. "Thank you for helping me escape Leonard's estate. I'll compensate you for that. John, transfer one million to Ms. Anne's account later." 

Eric's gaze lingered briefly on the scar on the back of Anne's neck, one he had caused. He felt slightly guilty—after all, without her cooperation, his escape wouldn't have been possible. At the time, if Anne hadn't played along with his act, she wouldn't have dared betray Leonard.
