Avenger's coming back novel Chapter 154

They looked in the direction of the door at the same time and then looked back at each other. Lily blushed and said in a low voice, "Maybe mom is up. You go to open the door."

There was also a trace of embarrassment on Eric's face. "You go."

If the two go to open the door like this, the discerning person can see at a glance that they have just done or are going to do something, or even are doing something, and were interrupted midway.

Standing up, Lily took a deep breath and tried to adjust her breath. She decided to go. After all, she was much better than Eric when facing her mother.

To make himself look more natural, Eric went straight to the window and opened it, letting the cold wind blow on his face.

Becky knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered. Then she pushed the door open.

"Why don't you open the door?" After entering the room, she saw both of Eric was standing by the window, and Lily stood by the bed and seemed to be sitting and breathing.

Hearing that, Lily smiled awkwardly. "I was about to get up to open the door for you, but you opened it yourself."

Becky didn't blame her, instead, she gave the box to Lily and said, "This is for you. Hope you like it."

Lily was stunned for a while. Then she took the gift, a guilty look flashing across her face. "I'm sorry, Becky. I forgot to prepare you a gift."

She had asked her what kind of gift she liked before. She mentioned that they would have the same birthday in the same day, but she forgot to prepare it.

"It doesn't matter. I send you a gift not for you to send me another one." With a bright smile, Becky reached out and took her hand. "Happy Birthday! Wish us a happy birthday!"

"Yes." Facing with her sincere words, Lily's eyes suddenly turned red. She choked, "Happy Birthday to us!"

Standing by the window, Eric looked at them with a smile on his face. He had been with Lily for several months, and among all the friends around her, only Becky loved her the most.

Almost everything she was looking out for her. Although she often quarreled with him at the beginning, she was always nice to Lily.

"I'll have someone look into your mother's thing." He looked at Becky and said.

Hearing this, Becky turned to look at him and said with a smile, "Thank you. But mom just called and said that it's not a big deal. Ken is investigating it."

Hearing that, Eric turned to look at Lily and frowned doubtfully, as if to question what she had said before.

Of course, Lily could understand what he meant by his eyes. She said, "Eric, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can investigate. You can definitely find out the evidence."

She didn't say Ken. After all, it was hard to say because Becky was here. Because Alice trusted Ken, Becky also trusted him very much. If one day she spilled in front of Ken, things would be difficult.

"Well, I believe you." Eric nodded.

"What are you talking about?" Asked Becky, looking confused.

"Nothing." Lily immediately said, and then changed the topic and began to talk about other things.

As a man of his word, Eric asked for help the investigation. The next day, he got help from someone, but it was Ellison who he was looking for.

He just started his career and didn't have many connections. He was still at the weak stage.

But at the same time, he did something that made Ellison want to kick him away. That was, he had told Hailey where he had been!

As soon as he got the result, they made an appointment to meet at a cafe near Ellison's company.

"Eric!" With the document bag in his hand, Ellison walked towards Eric with a murderous look on his face. "You dared to sell me out! How could you do that?"

Throwing the folder in his hand in front of Eric, while cursing him, he pulled out a chair and sat down in front of him.

"I'm not betraying." Looking up at him, Eric was very indifferent. He took the file bag and started to dismantle it. "This is my relationship with Hailey. She helped me investigate one thing and I will tell you where you hide, but then I broke the contract, as compensation, I can only tell her where you are hiding."

"Your deal. Can you stop gambling on me?" Ellison was very dissatisfied. He glared at the man who was reading the documents calmly. "She left me no freedom. You know her temper. When she found me, she was so angry that she even wanted to eat me alive."

"Well, now that you are all right in front of me, then it means nothing happened." Eric didn't raise his head but to look at the documents carefully.

Hearing that, Ellison was angrier. He stood up and held the documents in Eric's hand. He leaned forward and glared at him fiercely. "If it were not for you, I would still be in the gentle village. How can I be controlled by someone like now?"

"Brother..." Eric finally looked up at him and said, "I think Hailey is a good girl. She is pretty, well shaped and has excellent fighting skills. Even if you can't fight, she can protect you. Most importantly, she loves you with all her heart. Why don't you accept her?"

"Who told you she liked me?" Ellison retorted, "She is a person with strong desire of controlling. She has been bullying me since I was a child."

"See with your eyes, and understand with your heart." Eric patted his hand which was pressing on the file and said, "Take it away. I have something else to do."

"What's wrong with you?" Ellison raised his eyebrows with displeasure. "What's the point in investigating a person who has nothing to do with you?"

What Ellison didn't understand was that, two days ago, Eric asked him to find someone to ask for help, but it turned out to be someone he had never known.

"I know what I'm doing." Eric replied indifferently. Then he picked up the document and read it carefully. The more he read, the happier he was.

Seeing his expression, Ellison frowned in confusion. "Are you so interested in this man called Ken? When did you start to have dealings with people in the design circle?"

He threw the documents in his hands on the table, and a smile appeared on his face, "I seem to like little girls more and more. What should I do?"

Hearing his words, Ellison blinked his eyes and looked at Eric as if he was looking at a monster, "What does this have to do with Lily?"

It had nothing to do with Lily. Why did he get Lily involved in it?

"Brother, do you know why I asked you to investigate the man named Ken?" Eric looked at him and asked.

Ellison shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Because she asked me to help with the investigation, just like the AF Company before..." Eric told Ellison the whole story and his feelings.

After hearing that, Ellison was also curious. "Does she have the ability to predict? Otherwise, why does she always know something we don't know?"

"Oh, I hope she can do that." Then he put the files into the folder and stood up. "I have something else to do. You'd better enjoy the exclusive treatment of yours."

"It's all your fault. Eric, let me tell you. I'll tell Lily to take care of you. Don't be too excited. Humph!" Ellison shouted, looking at his receding figure.

Eric went ahead without looking back and waved his hand with his back to him.

He then went to the Qiao company to look for Lily with the results of the investigation.

When he found her, she was busy checking the contract in Emily's office. It was a cooperation project that had just been discussed and the signing time had been decided.

Emily was not in, so she was the only one in the office.

It was not the first time that Eric had been to her office. The staff in the sales department had known about him, so he entered the office without greeting to anyone.

"Why are you here?" Hearing the opening sound of the office door, Lily looked up subconsciously. She saw Eric and said in surprise.

"I have something to show you." He walked up to her and handed her the folder in his hand.

"What's this?" She asked as she took the file bag.

"Open it and you'll know."

As she opened the folder and looked inside, Eric pulled out the chair opposite her desk and sat down, instantly looking at her.

When Lily saw the paper in her hand, the corners of her mouth rose up. "Great. With this investigation material, aunt will be accused of plagiarism."

Seeing that she was so happy, Eric smiled as well.

"Eric, you really helped me a lot." After putting the documents away, Lily stood up and walked around to stand beside Eric. Then she bent down, cupped his face in her hands and kissed him on the lips.

With this, both her company and her reputation will be saved. Thank you so much!" After that, she kissed him again and then released him. "Now let's go to find aunt."

Eric knew that she had always valued Becky and showed great respect for Alice. But what did she mean by saying that?

There was only a traitor in the company. How could he let her company close? How could it be possible?

Seeing that he did not move, Lily could not help urging him, "Eric, hurry up, let's go to find aunt."

Only then did Eric stand up and walk to her side. He took her hand and walked out of the office with her, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
