“Discharged?”

Sharon and Vera exchanged confused glances at Richard, while Eric remained unaffected.

Eileen felt a cold aura surrounding her.

Nevertheless, she ignored Eric’s deep and mysterious gaze.

The latter had chosen to remain silent.

Vera was the first to speak, asking. “Eileen, what’s happening?”

Richard explained, “Mr. Jasper enjoys the meals prepared by Ms. Eileen. Therefore, we have invited

her to temporarily stay at the Smith residence to take care of Mr. Jasper. We have already discussed

this with Mr. Swan, and he has agreed.”

Sharon expressed her concerns. “Take care? But Eileen is still sick, and how could Mr. Swan possibly

agree!”

Ha, how could Will possibly disagree? Even if it wasn’t the Smith family today, it would be some other

family next time. I was born and raised in luxury by Will, groomed to be the tool he desired. Am I not.

just a bargaining chip to be used by him?

The Smith family was the most influential family in Hulbury.

They were truly a prestigious and powerful family, far surpassing the Swan family.

Will meant nothing to the Smith family.

Moreover, if Jasper were to ask Will for Eileen, there was no way Will could refuse.

Even a mere word from the Smith family was enough for Will to deliver her without hesitation.

“A servant like you cannot speak on behalf of your employer, Richard snapped.

Eileen reassured Sharon, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine. I’ll be back in a few days.”

Sharon glanced at Eric, but he remained silent.

“Ms. Eileen, would you like me to arrange a wheelchair for you?”

Eileen shook her head. “No need, I can leave as soon as I change my clothes.”

After she settled into the luxurious Rolls-Royce, she noticed dozens of luxury cars following behind.

“Shall we go?” Jasper held her hand, revealing the tattoo on the back of his hand. He gave it a gentle

squeeze, just enough to hold it tightly.

Eileen nodded.

After the car left the hospital, Eileen quietly withdrew her hand.

She said softly. “I’m going to take a nap. Remember to wake me up when we arrive.”

“Okay.”

The Smith residence was located in the most affluent area of Hulbury.

Every inch of land was incredibly valuable.

Ordinary people couldn’t even fathom such extravagant luxury.

Even the wealthiest individuals might not have the means to acquire it.

The Smith residence consisted not only of the main house but also various other courtyards.

The separate mansions were where the Smith family’s relatives lived.

The two elders of the family, when idle, enjoyed tending to flowers and plants. So, they cultivated a vast

garden, filled with a variety of vibrant flowers and lush greenery.

Beside the house, there was also a maple tree that had stood for five to six hundred years.

For a century, the Smith family had been engaged in commerce. Through the turbulent nutes and into

the mid-twentieth century, the elderly couple controlled the entire capital’s ommerce and trade. Even

today, after a hundred years, their family wealth remained vast

The Smith family had always valued tradition, insisting that unless permitted. members of the Smith

family must live together.

Only Jasper was allowed to break most rules. The main reason was that he was the apple of his

grandparents’ eyes.

All things considered, he was the eldest grandson of the Smith family. Now that he had taken over the

family business, the two elders cherished him even more.

Apart from having the right bloodline, they wanted their heir to be someone capable of upholding the

legacy of the Smith family.

Jasper’s mansion at the Smith residence was closest to the main residence.

The two elders resided in a peaceful and elegant place elsewhere.

Eileen had expected Jasper to take her to Undella Mansion.

Unexpectedly, she ended up at the Smith residence.

Eileen marveled at the beautiful location of the Smith residence. It was nestled against the mountains

and near water, surrounded by an elegant environment. Moreover, there were quite a few security

personnel around, providing twenty-four-hour protection.

The more impressed she felt at that moment, the more she felt it was a shame.

In her past life, after Eric used Elm to take over the Smith family, he destroyed everything that belonged

to the Smith family, even this place.

At that time, she witnessed with her own eyes how a prestigious family, with a foundation. built over

thousands of years, was completely obliterated overnight by a massive fire!

It took Eric merely three years to bring down the Smith family, making them submit to him.

In this lifetime, she hoped that everything from her past life would not happen again.

Thinking of Eric’s ruthless determination, she wondered how Eric would retaliate against her now that

she had escaped from the Swan family,

“Do you like it here?”

Eileen looked around. This place is at least ten times bigger than Primas Plaza!

By comparison, the place she lived in probably seemed like nothing more than a shabby brick house in

Jasper’s eyes

Eileen nodded. “It’s very beautiful.”

She had once lived in a mansion that could rival the Smiths’ place of residence, one that was even

bigger and more luxurious.

Back then, she was Mrs. Snow!

It was also a massive gilded cage that Eric built for her.

Eight years into her marriage, she had not taken a single step outside of it.

The only time she left was the day he personally drove her away, the day she brought Sarah and that

child into their home.

Thinking of all that triggered a sudden pang of pain in Eileen’s heart.

She gasped for breath, feeling suffocated.

“If you’d like, Richard can give you a tour. I won’t be able to join you later, as I have some business at

the office!” Jasper observed her closely, but he didn’t see a hint of happiness or joy in her eyes.

This was not what he had expected.

Eileen shook her head, chuckling softly. “Maybe another time. I wouldn’t want to frighten people with

my current appearance if I went out.

Jasper laughed as well. “I only tricked you last time to get you to eat something. Don’t hold it against

me.”

“Don’t worry about it.” How could I not have known?

Upon reaching his mansion, they paused at the entrance. “I’ve instructed everyone not to disturb you. If

you need anything, just let Richard know directly.”

While speaking, Jasper took out a small, elegant black velvet box from his suit pocket. He opened it to

reveal a crescent-shaped necklace. Taking the necklace out, he said, “Richard. found this necklace in a

drawer while packing up your belongings at the Swan residence. Would you like me to put it on for

you?”

Eileen felt a weight in her chest. She had thought that leaving the Swan family would bring her relief,

but now, upon arriving at the Smith family, the burden in her heart remained, unchanged.

“Okay”

Jasper stepped forward, closing the gap between them until they were nearly touching. Eileen caught a

whit of his fresh scent Jasper brushed aside her long hair and, in front of everyone, as if asserting his

possession, he placed the necklace around Eileen’s neck, securing the silver clasp.
