In the early morning, Eric and Sylvia headed to the Rosewood Estate.They were curious to see if there were any valuable watches in those four boxes. To their surprise, they found several.Stealthbane seemed to have some foresight, as he had stored the watches in boxes, aware of their susceptibility to damage. Perhaps they were in the same condition when he acquired them, casually tossed into the boxes."This one is nice. You could use a change," Sylvia remarked, holding up a watch.At that moment, the couple resembled nouveau riche."Forget it." Eric waved his hand. "What good is any watch compared to the one you gave me? This piece is priceless. Didn't Brook want one? Let's pick a few for him, Sylvester, Connor, and Dad."He was uncompromising. After all, these trinkets weren't hard-earned by him. Besides, there was no harm in gifting them to his father-in-law and brothers-in-law.Sylvia didn't press the matter. Eric's words actually pleased her. She knew he wasn't particularl

Sylvia remained silent, a fact that only made Lora feel the situation between Eric and her more plausible. Indeed, exceptional men were scarce, already claimed by others, leaving the remaining beauties in a plight. They too had their pursuits.Sylvia's stance astounded Eric. 'What's the use of being here without intervening? What are we to make of this situation? Now it's so awkward, impossible to face.'Meeting Lora's gaze, Eric said, "Ms. Kensington, may I clarify something?""Go ahead," Lora replied, locking eyes with Eric.Considering it, Eric was almost a decade older than Lora. They said there's a generation gap every three years, but where's the generation gap here? There were clearly three gaps already. Could there still be communication?But, men were like fine wine, getting better with age, yearning to be savored. To Lora, Eric was like a bottle of wine worth savoring."I don't need to mention your persistence and its impact. Do you know that every penny you spend here,

After breakfast, Sylvia spoke. "Eric, we need to visit the Rosewood Estate later. The cleaning lady wants us to open the door for her."Initially, the cleaning lady knew the door code. However, after Eric moved in several boxes of jewelry, Sylvia changed the code. Safety always had to be a priority.-Around nine o'clock, Eric and Sylvia arrived at the Rosewood Estate. Since it was the weekend, Sylvia brought Yvette along, allowing Amelia to rest.Though Sylvia didn't often take care of Yvette, she understood the exhaustion that came with it. Dealing with a crying child at night, followed by sleepless days, could wear down even the most patient woman.Eric and Sylvia hadn't been living there for long, and there wasn't much food at home. Eric had thrown away the food from previous visits to prevent it from spoiling.Approaching noon, Sylvia ordered some food from outside. The cleaning lady had lunch and continued working until past 2:00 p.m., finishing all the cleaning.The main

"What are you saying?" The woman glared at the two police officers, pointing at Eric. "He killed my dog, yet you don't arrest or make him compensate me. Instead. you punish and fine me?! Is there any justice left?! Ah!"She began to howl, as if deeply aggrieved. While ranting, she lunged towards the two police officers with bared teeth. "Can't you be reasonable? My child is dead!"The two police officers hastily raised their hands in retreat. "Ma'am, please calm down! We are just following protocol!"What did they mean by unreasonable? The woman hadn't heard a word from the police officers—she was just intent on fighting. She didn't even heed their warnings.With no choice, one of the police officers took out pepper spray. Meanwhile, the other grabbed the woman's hand, twisting it behind her back, and promptly subdued her.He pulled handcuffs from his waist and secured them around the woman. "Take her away. Still not content with a fine of 200 dollars, you want more penalties?"E
