Chapter 260

Meanwhile, in the master bedroom, Eleanor summoned every ounce of her strength to maneuver Nolan onto the bed.

His substantial weight nearly overwhelmed her petite frame.

Just as she prepared to straighten up, a burning hand seized her wrist with surprising force

The world tilted suddenly around her.

Nolan dragged her down onto the mattress, trapping her beneath his fevered body.

Eleanor found herself completely immobilized, while the jealousy that had been brewing over Trudy began rising to the surface.

"What exactly are you doing? How did it feel receiving such devoted care from the lovely Ms. White?" she asked with bitter sarcasm.

Nolan lay with his eyes sealed shut,brow creased in obvious pain, his complexion flushed with unhealthy heat. He appeared to register her voice and mumbled incoherently, "Eleanor... My Eleanor is the most beautiful woman alive. Don't worry yourself. Grandpa may be furious, but I promise everything will work out perfectly."

His breath scorched against her neck as his voice carried a plaintive note. "But Eleanor, the pain is unbearable. A kiss would heal everything."

Eleanor pushed his head away with visible irritation."No way."

Yet suddenly, Nolan's body went completely slack.

Eleanor felt alarm spike through her as she quickly pressed her palm to his forehead. The temperature had climbed even higher than before.

Unable to waste another moment, she immediately retrieved her needles.

Following a comprehensive treatment session, Nolan's fever finally broke.

Completely drained, Eleanor could barely maintain consciousness as she collapsed beside the bed,slipping into restless slumber.

The following morning, Eleanor jolted awake to Erick's frantic voice. "Mr. Stewart! We have got a big problem!"

Eleanor glanced at Nolan, who remained unconscious on the bed, before leaving the master bedroom."What's the situation?" she inquired.

Erick delivered his urgent report. "Last night, when Lilah escorted Ms. White from the apartment building,photographers captured everything. The images are spreading across the Internet rapidly! Countless online users are claiming, claiming that you-"

Following a brief hesitation, Erick struggled to continue, "They're suggesting that you, as the mistress, have stolen her rightful position."

Recalling Trudy's behavior as though she had already become Nolan's legitimate wife, Eleanor couldn't suppress a sound of annoyance.

She had to acknowledge the strategy's cleverness, far more sophisticated than Lainey's previous attempts.

However, she considered this entirely irrelevant to her circumstances, since Nolan's complications remained his responsibility to address.

Today marked Enigma's flagship store launch in Elepdon, featuring new collections alongside a charitable initiative, keeping Eleanor extraordinarily occupied. She cast a glance toward the bedroom before striding purposefully headed down the stairs.

Simultaneously, she instructed Erick, "Let Nolan handle the situation. Ready the car and escort me to the store."

Beyond Enigma's flagship location in Elepdon, crowds gathered in dense clusters.

Numerous fashion influencers and journalists had completely blocked the entrance.

Inside, Besty maintained composed supervision over the staff's final arrangements.

Eleanor,wearing an impeccably cut white suit,stepped elegantly onto the stage's center.

Her announcement rang clearly. "We appreciate everyone's unwavering support of Enigma Group. As our expression of gratitude, today's entire new collection will be offered at twenty percent below regular pricing."

At this declaration, the audience exploded into deafening applause.

This was Enigma, after all. Her creations typically remained beyond most people's reach, yet now they could not only purchase them, but at reduced prices?What a stroke of luck! Eleanor lifted her hand, gently gesturing for quiet,before sharing additional news. "Additionally, today's complete proceeds will be contributed to the Elepdon Welfare Center in honor of each purchaser."

This announcement sent the crowd into renewed frenzy.

Not only could they acquire Enigma's usually unattainable designs at discounted rates, but they could do so while supporting charitable causes?Where else could such a perfect opportunity exist?

Therefore,the moment Eleanor declared the opening,masses surged through the entrance.

The generous retail space quickly filled to capacity,bodies pressed together throughout.
