Even if she wanted to be angry, she couldn't; even if she wanted to argue, she couldn't. He subdued her with sheer force, rendering all her previous words futile against absolute power.
Aldana Candi pressed her lips, her face showing a bit of stubbornness as she glared at Eric Candi above her.
"Did Philip Shaw make you return?"
"..."
Eric looked at her, slowly letting out a breath. He didn't know what he was thinking; he only spoke slowly, "He should no longer forcefully keep you. Ellen is there with him, keeping you around is of no use to him."
"..."
"But since you got out, why did you come back here?" he asked in a low voice, his gaze lowered, "Can't bear to leave?"
...
What an arrogant and conceited man.
Aldana Candi suddenly realized why Eric hadn't come to look for her all this time.
— So he thought that Philip Shaw would eventually get tired of her.
Therefore, he didn't need to waste effort or energy to bring her back.
