Eclipse smiled lightly. "I'm injured. I can't take up my position just yet, President Henry. I hope you understand."
Jessica's face tightened, her eyes flickering with shock.
Henry's name was well-known throughout Star City, and she couldn't believe he was siding with Eclipse.
Trying to keep her composure, Jessica spoke sharply. "President Henry, why is she involved with Empire Group? What's your intention here?"
Jessica was warning Eclipse that Henry's invitation to Empire Group was solely based on her last name, Rocelyn, and not because of who she was as a person.
To everyone in Star City, she was still worthless, like a weed, not worth mentioning.
Eclipse, who had been ignoring the two of them, finally turned her gaze to Jessica and gave a cold smile. "Jessica, are you stupid?"
Tears welled up in Jessica's eyes. "Eclipse, I'm doing this for your own good. Henry is our Rocelyn Family's mortal enemy, he has ulterior motives towards you. Don't be fooled..."
Eclipse's lips curled into a cold smile. "Whether or not President Henry is deceiving me, I will judge for myself. And Jessica, who gave you the confidence to think that after everything that has happened, I would choose to believe you over President Henry, and distance myself from him because of your fake concern?"
She gave Robert Jade a cold glance. "Or is it because you're afraid of that blind and ignorant Jade Family young master by your side?"
Jessica's face froze.
"Or perhaps you're just afraid..."
Eclipse's gaze turned icy, and she smiled teasingly. "I haven't even started yet, and you're already losing your wits. With so much time ahead of us, what kind of state will you be in?"
Jessica's expression froze completely on her face, and even her fingertips trembled slightly.
Robert had been staring at Eclipse without even giving Jessica a glance, but at those words, a look of anger appeared on his handsome face. "Enough, Jessica. If Eclipse wants to degrade herself, why bother worrying about her? She's the kind of person who will bring it upon herself even if she dies outside!"
Jessica lowered her head, concealing the ferocity in her eyes, and cried softly, "But if we let Eclipse go to Empire Group, what if she gets used by someone and brings trouble to the Rocelyn Family and the Jade Family?"
Henry sneered and laughed, "First Miss Rocelyn, you're overestimating your Rocelyn Family and Jade Family."
Jessica stared at Henry with a cold expression and gritted her teeth slightly.
Henry smiled, revealing the dominance and coldness of a business tycoon in an instant. "If I want to destroy the Rocelyn Family and Jade Family, all I need to do is push lightly with my hand, and you'll be done for. Using a little orphan girl... do you think I'm someone to be trifled with?"
He glanced at Robert, who had a dark expression, and a hint of disdain showed in his eyes. "And also, I'm not that stupid Jade Family young master. Save your tricks for him, it's disgusting."
After speaking, he turned around and made an elegant gentleman's gesture, "Please, Miss Eclipse."
Eclipse admired for a moment the ugly faces of Robert and Jessica, then lazily smiled and turned around to leave.

Robert's face turned pale with anger and confusion. "Why did Henry invite Eclipse to Empire Group?"
Jessica covered his face with his hand, his voice full of self-blame and sadness, trembling as he spoke, "It's all my fault. Eclipse was kicked out of her home with nothing on her, and in order to climb up and take revenge on us, she can only continue to use her beauty..."
Robert thought of Eclipse's beautiful face and his face twisted in anger. "Damn Eclipse!"
---
The two returned to Empire Group.
Eclipse walked to the front of the car, turned around, and smiled slightly at Henry. "Thank you, President Henry, for today. I'll go back first."
Henry personally opened the car door, smiling charmingly, "Miss Rocelyn, if you need anything in the future, just let me know. For the sake of my own life, please don't run around anymore..."
If anyone dared to bully her on his territory, Alastor would be the first to take action, thought Eclipse as she looked at the warning and coldness in Henry's eyes.
"I have become a thing of the past, and I have no reason to be sad about them," she explained weakly, understanding that Henry was worried that she would be upset because of Robert and Jessica.
The Eclipse who could be hurt by those scumbags was already gone. For the current Eclipse, they were just enemies, nothing more.
Henry's eyes sparkled, and his smile grew wider as he was pleased with Eclipse's sharpness and decisiveness. If she was still attached to Robert and unwilling to take action even after being hurt to this extent, she would not be worthy of Alastor.
How could such a noble and unparalleled man become another man's spare tire? Even if Alastor loved her and didn't mind, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
