"You’re sothing else, why are you leaving?" A wealthy lady, after chatting with Erie for a while, went to find her friend who had been driven away by Erie just now.
"Didn’t you hear what Erie said? She’s just trying to make leave, isn’t she? Can’t I leave?" grumbled her friend in a huff.
"Oh, why bother with Erie." The wealthy lady waved her hand with a smile, "Erie was spoiled by the Wilson Clan since she was a child because of her heart condition. Then she t soone as good as Benjamin, and continued being pampered."
"She still lives in a castle, unaware of the ways of the real world," the lady continued persuading her friend, "That’s just her personality, she’s not as calculating as you think. Saying that about her is giving her too much credit."
"Just treat her as a child."
"Are there people like that in the Wilson Clan?" asked the friend in surprise. "Mason is quite formidable in the business world, a smiling tiger. How is his sister like that?"
"There’s nothing you can do; she’s just lucky, having soone to pamper her. Unlike us."
The wealthy lady suggested that her friend should go talk to Erie later, at least make so impression for their family businesses. Future connections with the Walton Family rely on Erie.
"Hey, where is she?" Her friend pondered and looked up, but Erie’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
The wealthy lady waved her hand carelessly, saying, "No need to worry. That celestial-like person surely couldn’t stand the worldly atmosphere here and went sowhere to get so fresh air. Her husband will find her soon enough."
"So people just have different fates," her friend sighed, wondering why Erie was so lucky. Besides her good upbringing, she also t such a great husband.

Erie stood on the balcony, letting out a deep breath. She detested the social atmosphere inside. A bunch of people engaging in that kind of fake socializing just for money was simply disgusting.
"Mrs. Walton." A sudden voice made Erie frown in disgust. She had escaped to this place, yet soone still found their way to ingratiate themselves and build connections?
"You..." Erie turned around, ready to complain, but upon seeing the person’s face, her words vanished in fright.
Stephen looked at Erie’s shocked expression, and he felt reassured.
"Why is Mrs. Walton so shocked to see ? Is it because you think I shouldn’t appear in Imperial City? Or are you worried that I’ll reveal what you did back then?"
"You, you, you... What nonsense are you talking about? What have I done? You’ve got the wrong person." Erie, frightened, retreated until her back hit the railing of the balcony, unable to move back any further. She had no choice but to stop.
"Has Mrs. Walton forgotten that you entrusted to raise your child back then? I wonder if Mr. Walton is aware of this news. Why don’t we go talk to Mr. Walton and see what he says?"
Stephen’s words made Erie’s face turn pale instantly. She shook her head vigorously in denial, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about. If you co any closer, I’ll call for help!"
"By all ans, Mrs. Walton, call out. I’d love to thank you publicly for your generous gift back then. Without your money, I couldn’t have possibly raised Mrs. Walton’s daughter so luxuriously."
