SWNOVELS Chapter 342
Chapter 342 Are You Okay?
The banquet hall fell silent in an instant. Everyone stared in shock as Erica tumbled down the stairs. No one understood why she suddenly fell.
“Arghhh!”
Erica’s scream pierced the air. She was in excruciating pain, her dress was in shambles, and her body was battered from hitting the stairs. Her hairstyle, once elegant and refined, was now a mess. She looked utterly dishevelled.
How embarrassing! This is utterly humiliating!
Erica wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She didn’t understand why she fell, but she vividly remembered Eric trying to catch her but failing.
Despite the pain, a strange sweetness filled her heart.
See! I know Eric will eventually fall for me! How could any man I set my sights on resist my charm?
“Erica!”
Saltoban rushed over, panic–stricken. When he saw his beloved daughter in such a state, he asked in distress, “Are you okay? Oh my God, you’re bleeding!”
“Daddy!”
Erica cried, unable to believe how wretched she looked. Her entire body ached. She grumbled, “It hurts so much, sob sob!”
“Is Ms. Erica okay?”
“Why did she fall so suddenly?”
“I’m a doctor; let me take a look at Ms. Erica!”
A crowd gathered. Everyone was eager to get close to Erica and Saltoban.
Eric descended the stairs with a detached expression. He glanced at Erica and asked calmly, “Are you okay?”
She abruptly looked up at him, her expression even more pitiful. Erica said, “Eric, it hurts.”
Eric’s voice softened a little. He urged, “You should rest in your room for a bit.”
“Mmm, alright.”
Erica was overwhelmed with emotion. With Saltoban’s help, she stood up and hobbled to a side room to rest with Eric.

Erica pointed to the bruise on her leg; her voice was soft, and she acted coyly with Eric.
Eric gazed at her, his voice low and husky. “If you’re injured, you need to rest. You’re the most. important person at this party. A break would do you good.”
It was the first time Erica heard Eric’s slightly raspy voice, sensual and a bit enchanting, making her knees weak.
“Okay.”
Somehow, she was coaxed into staying in the room. Eric thoughtfully brought her a drink before closing the door and leaving.
Erica felt deeply touched as she watched Eric’s retreating figure and then looked at the drink by her bed.
“Eric, I will completely win you over! This is just the first step. The rest will be easy.”
Erica muttered to herself, her eyes burning with a strong desire to conquer.
She was determined to win Eric’s heart.
Meanwhile, outside the room, Eric’s eyes were cold, and a faint smirk was playing on his lips.
Saltoban’s daughter was quite a fool.
He could manipulate her with just a few words, and she actually believed she could conquer him.
What a pity. His heart and soul had long belonged to Kate.
A chill gleamed in Eric’s eyes as he swiftly left the resting area.
Though the party was nominally Erica’s birthday, it was essentially a gathering for many Sagrado. capitalists and underground organisations to conduct their dealings.
The guests moved to another area to quietly discuss their deals.
Erica’s fall down the stairs had merely introduced a new topic to their conversations.
