Eric paused, his expression apologetic. “Sorry, | might be overstepping. When does the meeting resume?”
“Soon,” Rachel replied. “You've just arrived, so do you need stto get acquainted with the company’s
situation?”
Eric gave a nod. “Yes, go ahead without me. I'll catch up in about half an hour.”
The second half of the meeting picked up right where it left off—tense, with several long-tboard members
standing their ground, their words cutting and sharp.
Just as the meeting hit a standstill, the door creaked open, and Eric stepped inside.
The room froze when they saw him. The company had tried to hire him before, but he had always turned them
down.
Now, seeing him standing in the doorway, the board members shifted uncomfortably. It was obvious he wasn’t
there to support them.
Eric broke the silence, his voice calm but commanding. “Hello, everyone. I'm Eric Riley, and I've been hired as a
legal consultant by Ms. Marsh.”
The group exchanged glances, first looking at Eric, then shifting their eyes to Rachel, waiting for her reaction.
In the end, it felt as though Eric single-handedly calmed the storm. His presence was enough to steady the tense
situation.

Eric laid out a truth that left no room for argument. After Allan’s passing, Rachel, as his wife, had every right to
inherit his shares.
But as those words settled in, Rachel instinctively rubbed her temples, her heart pounding in her chest.
Once the meeting ended, she turned to Eric and said, “Mr. Riley, | really appreciate your help today, but there's
something | need to cclean about.”
Eric raised an eyebrow. “I'm listening.”
“Allan and I... we never actually registered our marriage.” Her words were shocking, hitting Eric like a cold wave.
He stopped sorting the files and stared at her in disbelief. “That's not a funny joke.”
“I'm not joking. It was a staged marriage.”

Eric reached up, massaging his temples as if trying to dispel the sudden dizziness. He was a bit overwhelmed
and said, “Hold on, | need a minute to think this over.”
After stepping outside to clear his
mind, he cback and looked at
her. “If what you're saying is true.

Rachel took a deep breath, knowing the weight of the situation. “I understand, which is why | need your advice
on how to handle this.”
Eric grabbed his folder, giving her an

His refusal was firm and unwavering, without a second thought.
