Stephen knew he could only suffer a small loss today. However, he could use Joey to punish Eric and make him suffer more in the future. "Young man, don't overstep your boundaries. It's not good for you to be arrogant and conceited."

"I used to be like this. I'm used to it." Eric was calm and composed. His eyes became sharped and sharper. "In the future, I have no intention of changing!"

"You!" Stephen was once again angered. As expected, he shouldn't have said too much to Eric. After Eric finished speaking, he asked Odette to push him away. he didn't want to stay in this place. he didn't want to see anything here. Paula wanted to argue with Eric more but was stopped by Joey. Joey thought that Eric's behavior just now was different from usual. It was very unusual.

Usually, when they had conflicts at home, Eric would not say anything. Today, he had become sharp because of Odette. It could be seen that Odette had a big influence on him. Odette was different from others. At least she knew when to yield and when to be tough.

However, what he cared about the most was that Eric had something he cared about, which meant that Eric would have another weakness that he could use in the future. When they took the car and left, the coldness of Eric's face had yet to dissipate. Moreover, with Joey's appearance, even if Eric wanted to end this matter, it would not end so easily.

"Damn Odette, does she think that by having a husband. She will be able to make a rise? Who did she think she was? She is shameless!" When she marries the Smith family, she will take revenge. "Paula, let's end this here. What happened today was caused by you guys, by nothing opening the gate for them. If this matter was spread, it would only make its reputation of Lawson worse. So, let's not continue to expand this matter."

Joey knew that although he had seized Eric's power over the years, Eric wasn't someone who could be completely suppressed within a day or two. He had witnessed Eric's power before. If Eric was forced into a corner, the Lawson family would be the only one who would suffer.

"But I'm not willing to accept this. Joey, how can you bear to see me being bullied like this?" Paula said and leaned on Joey's shoulder. Her tone made people feel pity for her. Joey weighed the pros and cons and could only comfort her, "Don't worry, I have plenty of time to take revenge for you in the future. Now isn't the time yet. Just bear with it for now." As he spoke, he looked at Stephen. "Uncle, what do you think?"

Although Stephen was impulsive, he was a person who knew the bigger picture. He knew that he should consider a bigger picture at a time like this. He could not act on impulse. If Joey did not intend to pursue this matter, the Lawson family would not be able to take advantage of Eric.

Stephen carefully considered for a moment then looked at Paula and said, "Let's just forget about this matter. You should restrain yourself. If you continue to cause trouble, it will not be good for both families. Instead, the outsider will see it as a joke."

"Alright, I understand." Even so, Paula still secretly thinking about settling the score with Odette. "By the way, Joey, did you come to find me today?" Paula looked. "Yes, but I came by accident. I still have some things to do in the company, so I won't be eating here today. I'll go back first." Joey patted Paula's shoulder and turned around to leave. Paula frowned, She felt that Joey was a little unusual today, but she could not tell what was unusual.

"Dad, are we going to let this matter go just like that?" "Otherwise, what do you want to do?" Stephen looked at the mess in front of the door. He needed to find a craftsman to repair it as soon as possible. Odette and Eric returned home.

They sat on the sofa in the living room and did not speak. Odette lowered her head and stared at her fingers. "Why aren't you saying anything?" Eric sat opposite Odette and looked up to see that she was still unhappy. "I don't have the face to see you." Odette turned his head down and said in a low voice.

When Eric heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. "Because of what happened in the Lawson family just now?" Odette looked at Eric and said, "I knew they wouldn't treat you nicely, but I let you go to the house. It's all my fault. I caused you to be bullied by me." She didn't expect them to go so far today. Odette still lowered her head and did not dare to look Eric in the eye. He had been spoiled since he was young. he had been wronged like this, so he must have been very angry.

Eric was stunned, she only acted like this because he had been wronged. He thought she was like this because she had been wronged. "That's right. I have suffered so much today. How do you think you should compensate me?" Eric couldn't help but tease her. Odette had an apologetic look on her face, "I don't know, I don't have money." After she finished speaking, she lowered her head once again. She didn't seem to have anything valuable that could be compensated to Eric.

Eric smiled and shook his head. Her thoughts were too simple. "I'm hungry. Go and cook for me. This morning, I heard you say that you will cook for me." Odette looked at him and said. "That's right. When I moved out from the Lawson family, I always cooked by myself. So I only study food. I even created my dishes. Later, I'll make some for you."

As she spoke, a confident smile immediately appeared on her face. She was completely confident in her cooking skills. Eric looked at the smile on Odette's face. It was like the warm sunlight in winter.
