Chapter 243 Delulu Is Our Solulu
Eric spoke evenly, not raising his voice but still cutting through everything.
“Why does this have anything to do with me?
“Even if I were single, does that mean I have to accept every single confession expressed to me? If so, I’d never have time for anything else.”
The crowd fell dead silent.
Alice nearly burst out laughing. That response? Clean. Brutal. Perfect.
Yvette’s face drained of color.
She had poured her heart out in front of the world. She had followed a plan her entire family supported.
The Martinezes needed a distraction. Their stocks were crashing, and this was supposed to be their lifeline.
This moment was supposed to save them.
She had bet everything on this.
Eric had never been close with any
other woman.
No scandals. No gossip. No distractions.
No one but her.
She had been the only one who had ever stood beside him without getting pushed away.
So he had to feel something. He just didn’t know how to say it.
That’s what she told herself. That’s what she believed.
After the crash, when Eric fell into a coma, Yvette vanished overseas.
She left without leaving a single word behind.
Eric had every reason to be angry.
When people were sick, they were fragile. They needed the ones they loved close by.
And she had abandoned him when he needed her most.
She knew she had messed up.
But she believed that if she swallowed her pride and apologized with a full heart, then maybe—just maybe -he’d see her worth and take her back.
“I know you’re still upset that I disappeared for those three years,” she said, her voice shaking. “But I was assigned to a highly confidential project. I had to go.

“I admit it. I didn’t think about how it would affect you. That was my fault.
“I know those three years changed things. I know they hurt you. But I can fix it”
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she looked at him. She tried to catch her breath, but her chest heaved.
Her voice sounded raw, like it had been scraped dry.
“If those three years matter that much to you, then shouldn’t you at least see what I’m willing to do to make up for it?”
“Mr. Eric, please. Say something.”

People standing around began to murmur.
“Just answer her, even if it’s a no. Don’t leave her hanging.”
“Love and marriage take two people, not just one.”
“Yeah. Say something already.”
Eric reached for the mic beside the reporter’s hand.
The reporter flinched and instinctively tried to take it back. But one sharp look from Eric made him stop cold. The tension rolling off Eric was too much to challenge.
Eric took the mic. His voice rang out strong
and cold.
“I said she’s not talking to me.”
The words landed like a punch to the gut.”
Yvette’s body stiffened. Her face drained of all color.
“You … What did you say?” she whispered.
Eric said nothing more and simply stepped aside.
The moment the person in the back came into view, the crowd immediately recognized who he was.
He was Michael–Ruby’s son.
He had been born the first year Ruby/married into the Nolans.
They had given him everything, supported him in every way.
He hadn’t started working Nolan Group yet, but he had already graduated promising future ahead.

When the cameras turned on him, the whole crowd froze.
Michael looked completely lost.
Um, what’s happening?

Irene, Ruby, and everyone nearby stared like reality had just bent sideways.
Eric turned again and faced the cameras.
“You two were classmates, right?” he said. “Studied together. Spent time with each other. I’m sure your relationship was close.”
Then he looked directly at Michael.
“I get it. You want to succeed before thinking about marriage.
“But a woman’s youth doesn’t last forever. And Ms. Martinez showed up today in a wedding dress–for you. And you’re still running away?”
Michael’s eyes widened.
“What?!”
I said nothing of the sort!
This isn’t
my
drama! Leave me out of it!
Eric turned his attention elsewhere. He waved Alice over.
She stepped toward him without hesitation.
And right there, in front of every camera lens, Eric wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
“Did that scare you?” he asked her gently.
Alice took a second.
She had been watching from the sidelines, just waiting to see how far this would go.
“Not at all,” she said with a small smile.
Eric gave a small nod.
“So you trust me.”
Alice met his eyes.
“Well, yeah. It’s not like you broke any laws.”
Eric didn’t say anything back.
He just stood there, calm and steady.
The reporters froze. That moment between them hit like a brick.
Nobody expected it. They forgot the whole reason they were there. Only Michael found his voice.

“Eric, are you seriously throwing the under the bus right now
Eric gave a short, cold laugh. “You think Me Martinez & confessioni come kind of red on me yo want to say that out loud?”
Michael’s face went dark
But he didn’t panic. He stood his ground.
“Then let’s ask her,” he said.
Yvette stared straight at Eric, her eyes red and wet with tears.
Irene, who had stayed quiet until now, took a step forward.
She knew she couldn’t speak too harshly, but she also couldn’t just stand by anymore.
She spoke softly.
“Yvette, I watched you grow up. Just tell me who you really love. I’ll back you no matter what
