Chapter 1494:
After saying those words, Erica stood up and went into the room. She returned shortly with a bank card in her hand.
“Rupert gave me this card for retirement. It has just a few tens of millions on it. I hope it can assist you during this challenging period p>
Heather was shocked as Erica discreetly handed her the card.
Tens of millions—it was by no means a small sum, and it was surely enough to rescue their family from a crisis.
“Thank you, I promise to visit and chat with you daily, and I’ll brew soup for you.” Heather attempted to kneel in gratitude, but Erica quickly helped her up, chuckling. “Silly girl, go ahead and take it. Your father must be worried sick p>
Heather nodded quickly and headed straight to the bank to transfer the money to her father.
Heather’s father barely managed to save the company’s shares after the long, exhausting day. The recovery didn’t go as smoothly as he had hoped, and they couldn’t save everything, but many losses were prevented.

The news of the Norman family’s rescue reached Rupert swiftly. The matter seemed to be less straightforward than he initially thought, and he raised his eyebrow in suspicion.
“Find out who helped the Norman family.” Rupert leaned back on the sofa, sending his assistant to investigate. He took a deep breath.
The assistant worked quickly and reported back promptly. “It appears that fifty million was transferred to the Norman family. It matches the withdrawal from Erica’s account p>
Rupert gave a small nod. He knew that Erica had been interacting with Heather in private. His gaze was inscrutable as he spoke. “I don’t think I need to intervene in this matter p>
Suddenly, he picked up his phone and called Bruce.
“So, the unfilial grandson finally decides to check up on me,” Bruce said heartily through the receiver.
“I have no need to worry, since you’re so healthy and content.” Rupert didn’t beat around the bush and immediately addressed the reason for his call. “Today, a woman harassed me. As you know, I’m an engaged man p>
“Isn’t that something you can handle on your own?” Bruce’s personality was as strong as his grandson’s. Despite the wrinkles lining his face from years of experience, he exuded an intense aura of authority.
“My mother assisted her in the act p>
Bruce immediately understood why his grandson had called.
The next day, as soon as Erica woke up, her phone rang.
“What did you do?” Bruce spoke quickly the moment the call connected.
Erica was still confused and tired, but Bruce’s next words stripped her of any defense.
“As the matriarch of the Benton family, you need to lead by example. You need to stop stirring up outside trouble. I want you to report to me if you’re going somewhere from now on p>
“And why is that?” Erica asked quietly.
“Why? Think about what you’ve done recently.” Bruce’s stern voice carried through the phone, leaving no room for rebuttal. His anger was palpable, even through the speaker.
