My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 262: Catch Her

"Mom!" Eris cried out desperately as she watched Cacia being taken away by the prison guards.

"Eris..." Cacia turned around.

"If you can't find a way out, you can sell our apartment.Your father and I have already transferred it toyour name.Eris, you must find a way to save your father!"

Those were her parting words before she disappeared from the room.

Eris couldn't believe what her mother had just said.

‘The apartment has been transferred to my name? Excellent! Although this apartment might be old, itcould still be sold for a good price since it's near a school district!’ Eris' face beamed with joy and wassmiling from ear to ear.

Even though it wasn't as valuable as the apartment that Brian gave her, the money she would gainfrom selling would help her solve her current problem.

Then, her father crossed her mind as well as the words of her mother.

‘Ha! I'm not going to save him!’ It was only today that Eris found out that Ruben was insane.

She tried to imagine the crazy look on his face, but doing so caused the hair on her back to stand.Shehad to admit that her father was really nice to her.

He was a caring father who doted on her ever since she was a child.

‘It's his responsibility to take care of me.And I didn't force him to do so.Besides, people with mentalillness won't be held criminally liable.He will never be sentenced even if I don't save him.The worst

thing that can happen to him is that he will be sent to a psychiatric hospital.' Eris readjusted her facialexpression, trying not to betray the overflowing glee she was feeling.

She got into her eye-catching Porsche and left the detention center.She wasn't as helpless as sheinitially claimed.

Although she had neither bought a house nor made any financial investments in the past few years,she did manage to buy at least two cars.

In addition to the Porsche sports car she was driving, she also owned a Mercedes Benz car, which sheused for business purposes.

Even if she sold them as second-hand cars, the total amount would still add up to at least two million.

While it was true that she didn't have any cash, she still had thousands of dollars stored in her e-Wallet.

When she told Cacia that she hadn't eaten for the entire day, she was lying.

The fact was she already had lunch in a restaurant near the apartment that Brian had given her.

After putting on her sunglasses, she stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to her parents’apartment.

Half an hour later, Eris saw the reporters waiting at the gate of the community.

For her to avoid the gaze of the press, she had to look different.

So she removed her sunglasses and wore a black windbreaker.

She also tied her hair into a ponytail, looking remarkably different from her signature look.

Finally, she wrapped her face with a scarf, hiding everything except her eyes.

Fortunately, the weather had turned cold so her outfit didn't look suspicious.

She lowered her head nervously and walked in through the gate.

From the corner of her eye, she saw that the reporters were looking at her.

Her heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat.

Fortunately, the reporters just took a glance at her and didn't linger.

With one deep breath, she managed to walk through the gate.

Meanwhile, the reporters were interviewing Ruben and Cacia’s neighbors.

They were all old people and had been neighbors with the couple for more than ten years.

When they saw the reporters, they were very excited to reveal everything they knew about Ruben,Cacia, and Eris.

"Eris...I've watched her grow up.She's a sweet talker but she has a lot of evil ideas! When she was achild, her parents would often go out gambling, and she would be left at home without dinner to eat.Shewas so pitiful, so I let her have dinner at my home.She was polite to us, but when our backs wereturned, she would say that our cooking was terrible."

"That's right! As for Wendy, she didn't talk much when she was a child.However, she performed wellacademically.She even taught my child math during summer vacation! She was such a polite, shy, andobedient girl."

"Yes.Whenever she was at home, she would always do all the housework.

I could always hear her stepmother telling her to do the housework, including doing the laundry,cleaning, and mopping the floor.She even had to wash Eris' underwear.What a poor girl."

"Eris seldom came back once she entered the entertainment industry.Whenever she did, she wouldlook at us arrogantly.And..."

The second-hand stories from the neighbors kept flowing.

Since the reporters couldn't find Eris, the closest they got was interviewing her neighbors.

However, they never expected that her neighbors had a lot to say.

They listened intently to all the stories being shared with them and vigorously wrote all of what theysaid, making sure not to miss any detail.

Behind them, Eris was shaking in anger.

Back when she was popular, there would also be reporters who would interview these neighbors.

They would often praise her as though she was an angel.

But now that her reputation had been besmirched, they spoke of her as though she was the actualdevil.

These people took advantage of the situation and added insult to her injury! Eris clenched her fists andexamined each of their faces! ‘I know all of these people! Once I make a comeback, I'll make sure toteach all of you a lesson!’ ?) On the sixth floor, Eris took out the key and looked on both her sidesseveral times.

Once she was confident that there were no reporters around, she opened the door and entered theapartment.

She rushed into her parents’ bedroom and found the property ownership certificate under the bedsheets.She knew her mother's habit like the back of her hand, which was why she was able to find the

document.She observed the document and right away, she was able to confirm what her mother hadtold her.She was indeed the owner of the apartment according to the property ownership certificate.

Her face lit up and could no longer contain the happiness she was feeling.novelbin

‘Excellent! With this, I no longer need to worry about my future!’

However, she still had one issue she was short on cash! She tried searching every corner of theapartment for something valuable but to no avail.

The branded bags and clothes that she had bought for her mother were all gone.

After searching for a long time, she only managed to find a few hundred dollars in Cacia'swardrobe.She gritted her teeth in disappointment and pocketed all the money she could find, includingthe coins.She had only realized how extraordinarily high her expenses were when she started being onher own.

In the past, she wouldn't even have bothered picking up a hundred-dollar bill if it fell on the ground.

But now...

The very thought that she had to do such a thing infuriated her so much.She hated Wendy to the core.

After calming herself down, she quickly put away the property ownership certificate and prepared toleave.

Slowly, she opened the door and carefully peeked at both ends of the corridor.

When she saw no one, she began tiptoeing out of the door.She slowly twisted the lock, making it sure itdidn't make any sound.

Once the door was locked, she put on her scarf, lowered her head, and strode downstairs.

Since her car was parked outside the community, she had no choice but to walk on her own.

But as soon as she stepped out of the building, she heard someone shouting.

"Eris! It's Eris!"

‘Damn it! Did the reporters see me?’ Eris' heart pounded violently against her chest.

She didn't dare to look back at the voice shouting her name.

She readjusted her scarf to further cover her face and walked faster.

She started to hear the sound of hurried footsteps accumulating behind her.

"Fuck! How dare she run away? Catch her!"

‘Catch? Those reporters would never dare to catch me no matter how arrogant they are!’

When she turned around, she saw a couple of brawny men rushing towards her.

They had malice etched on their faces, ready to inflict harm.Fear gripped Eris’ heart as the color on herface began to turn pale.
