Waiting for Eric to dump Ella?
During this time, Eric had been extremely busy, caught up with the company and power struggles, and his influence was growing. However, the Grace and Nelson families remained firmly entrenched in their positions.
Although Ella had only met Grace twice, she understood that Grace was not a foolish woman like Brianna. Grace was more shrewd and much harder to deal with, which is why Eric had been biding his time.
Eric wouldn't make a move until he had something that could deliver a fatal blow to Grace.
On Christmas Eve, Ella went to Emily's house to have dinner with Robert and the others. Robert was increasingly fond of Ella, seeing her as mature, sensible, and intelligent.
Meanwhile, Hannah had been drinking herself into a stupor at home.
