章 698: He Was Free

Eric held his breath, counting inwardly from one to ten, and the chill in his eyes eventually vanished. For someone who had a lot of self-control, for the first time in his life, Eric just wanted to let consequences be damned and end that bastard. 

Well, he almost did, until he recalled that he was currently on neutral ground. It was a trick. Daniel almost tempted him into being the first to break the rule. 

Bastard! 

Had he acted on his anger, then it would have been game over for him. No negotiation. An outright war. Now Eric could understand why Natalie was obsessed with keeping her daughter, Arianna away from him. Daniel was crazy. An asshole. 

They say a rotten apple spoils the whole barrel, Eric could see a perfect example staring right at him. Marcel seemed to be a cool guy, but with his father hovering over him, it was no wonder people thought the same of him. After all, the apple can't fall far from the tree.
