Chapter 44 How Much Wine Does It Take To Please Him?

Eric received a call from the school and learned that Vera had entered the hospital. The meeting was halfway through, and the rest was left to Gavin to deal with the aftermath, so Eric rushed to the hospital immediately.

Vera was lying on the hospital bed as she had an iv drip, her face was a little pale. When she saw Eric, she looked like a little girl who did something wrong, and she did not know how to face him.

She lowered her head, “Eric… I’m sorry, I caused you trouble again.”

When Eric saw the wound on Vera’s face, an imperceptible coldness flashed quickly in his obsidian eyes, “What did the doctor say?”

“I’m fine, except for the abrasions, I just have some physical discomfort. The doctor told me to drink more hot water.”

At this time, a middle-aged woman in her thirties came in from the door, holding a medicine list in her hand, “Are you Vera’s brother?”

“Yes,” Eric replied.

“Vera’s brother, please come with me, I have something to tell you.”

Outside the ward, Ashley told Eric everything that happened last night. She explained that she would also find the parents of both parties to talk about it as this was a big issue. In addition to the students of her own school, there were also students from Hulbury High School that were involved.

Ashley continued, revealing that these things had happened before, but due to some pressure, it did not work out in the end. As for why, she said that everyone is an adult and knows it well.

If he made things bigger, it would only become more complicated, and it would be out of control.

Eric’s eyes turned cold. “Did you mean that you want to let this matter go away? Is this your attitude as a teacher?”

Ashley spoke calmly, neither angry nor annoyed Vera’s brother, I have also spoken with the other party’s parents Regardless of the cost, they are willing to bear it, and Felicia has acerely apologized to Vera If you find this serdement method unsatisfactory we can

Eric checked bus watcleand resporated marold one. Thave general understanding of the

situation. I will investigate the reasons further. However, Vera is not feeling well, so we’ll end the discussion for today. I’ll free up my whole day tomorrow. Miss Nyra, as a businessman, I value efficiency. Unnecessary processes are not needed. If the school’s proposed solution doesn’t satisfy me, I will find my own way to achieve my satisfaction.” His words were sharp and decisive, leaving no room for ambiguity.

Eric showed respect to Miss Nyra before returning to Vera’s ward.

Ashley was left standing there, feeling immobilized by Eric’s words. She shivered as if a cold wind had blown through her entire body.

“How did it go, Eric? I didn’t cause you trouble, did I? I didn’t know why they attacked me. I didn’t do anything wrong. Please don’t be mad at me!”

After speaking with the teacher, Eric entered the ward, his demeanor different with Vera. He gently stroked her hair and assured her, “I’m not mad at you. Have you taken the painkiller?”

“Yes, I took it, and I feel much better now,” Vera replied.

Eric had not been fully aware of the severity of her menstrual cramps, as he had been overseas for most of the time and rarely came to see her. Feeling guilty, he said, “I already arranged for you to take a leave from school so you could rest in the hospital.”

“Eric, I can go back to school after this IV bag is finished. You don’t need to worry about me,” Vera said.

Eric touched her hand, feeling it was a little cold, and decided to slow down the IV drip. He looked at the infusion bag and said, “I’ll take you home.”

Vera protested, “It’s not necessary, Eric! You have to go back to school tomorrow. I don’t want to delay your work. I can go back to school myself.”

Eric turned the scroll wheel down and replied, “You won’t be going back to school. I’ll ask Sharon to take care of you.”

“But what about Eileen? She’s closest to Sharon. Vera expressed her concern.

Eric’s lips curled up slightly, and he said, “The Swan family has many servants who can take care of her. If Eileen refuses, I’ll find a solution.”

After Ashley left, Eric waited in the quiet hospital ward and eventually fell asleep while waiting for the IV infusion.

During his sleep, Eric’s phone vibrated in his pocket. He muted the phone and saw that it was a call from his father, Will. Stepping out of the ward, Eric answered the call, “Dad…”

Taleen got into trouble at school, go and see what happened!!” Will sounded irritated.

“Eileen? Okay, I’ll handle it,” Eric replied calmly, though his expression turned serious.

Will ended the call. With Vera in the hospital, Eric couldn’t leave her side, but he needed to address his other daughter’s situation as well.

Eric immediately called Gavin, who promptly answered the phone, “Mr. Snow.”

“How long will it take to settle the company’s affairs?” Eric asked.

Gavin replied, “The meeting just ended.”

“Head to Petalburg High School right away,” Eric instructed.

Gavin inquired, “Did Miss Eileen get into trouble again?”

Eric responded, “Sort out the problem and bring her to the apartment to see me.”

“Yes, Mr. Snow,” Gavin acknowledged.

It was not the first time Eileen caused trouble, but this time Eileen’s actions were particularly ill-timed. She managed to offend the daughters of three important business partners, and the company still had three contracts pending finalization, which now seemed unlikely to happen.

Eileen’s troubles had often led to complications for the chairman and the general manager in the past. This time, with the three contracts on the line, it was a significant concern.

Gavin swiftly made his way to Petalburg High School and easily found the conference room next to the principal’s office. The room had a transparent glass door, allowing a view inside, but the sound insulation was good, preventing Gavin from hearing the ongoing discussion. within.

As Gavin entered the conference room, he was taken aback by the intense scene unfolding before him. Eileen had already climbed onto the conference table and was holding onto another girl’s hair tightly. He took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself for the difficult task ahead.

He wondered how much effort he would have to put into smoothing things over with the other party’s boss. If the chairman himself had to step in, Eileen would undoubtedly face

severe consequences.

Just then, a teenager in a wheelchair was brought into the scene, accompanied by several men in black suits carrying briefcases, Gavin felt a sense of familiarity when he saw the newcomer, as if he had encountered him before.

Filern’s fare was swollen, and her eyes still burned with fury, but it seemed disconnected from the situation She threatened Say it again and Ill come over and beat you again.

believe me!”

The girl, Lany, was in tears, seeking comfort from her mother. She pleaded, “Mom, look at what she did to me! My face, my hair… you have to take revenge for me!”

Without wasting any time, Gavin swiftly pushed open the door of the conference room. The people inside, around seven or eight of them, were trying to restrain Eileen, who appeared completely out of control.

Gavin spoke calmly, “Excuse me!”
