After a thorough investigation, it emerged that the female blogger and her boyfriend were both renters.Their relentless pursuit of social advancement at any cost had dire consequences. Instead of reaping rewards, their sensationalism only besmirched their reputation.Meanwhile, the Innova Group matter was promptly resolved, with the female blogger once again apprehended by authorities. The manipulation of facts and distortion of truth egregiously violated regulations, leading the blogger to grasp the gravity of her actions.However, the media's attention was conspicuously elsewhere.Who cared about a female blogger? What was the commotion over a dog bite? None of it seemed relevant.The real focus was on the exposure of Sylvia, the CEO of the Innova Group, and her private life. Previous reports painted Sylvia as an aloof, unmarried CEO. So how did she come to have a child? This revelation caused quite a stir.The animal lovers were driven away, replaced by a swarm of journalists

"It's strange," Eric mused, puzzled. "My immune system is top-notch, so why would I suddenly sneeze?"-"Huh?" Lora was utterly perplexed. How could one's own husband be incapable? What sort of woman was this?"So?" Sylvia looked at Lora. "Are you still interested in Eric? I suggest you focus more on teaching now and improve the students' academic performance."This society is cruel," Sylvia added. "The majority are impoverished. One undeniable fact is the existence of social hierarchy. To swiftly transcend it, one must study!"Studying was the most cost-effective and least risky method to transcend classes.Children from poor families ought to study more. Sylvia understood this well. Thus, whether in Williams Corp. or the Innova Group, she allocated a substantial sum to support education, facilitating social mobility.Unexpectedly, Lora responded, "Ms. Williams, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. The academic performance of the class I lead is the best in our school. Even in all

"Listen, what kind of flattering words are these?"Though Sylvia was nearing her 30s and had given birth, she couldn't quite match the charm of a 17 or 18-year-old girl.Over these years, Sylvia's figure and beauty remained unchanged. If anything, after having a kid, she exuded the distinct charm of a mature woman.If Sylvia was captivating before, now she was soul-stirring."Don't talk such nonsense," Eric said, gazing at Sylvia. "No woman in this world, no matter how beautiful, can compare to you."Sylvia was greatly pleased by these words. True or not, she loved hearing them.She chuckled and said, "Capable men indeed have their allure. Add a little sweetness to their words, and they become almost flawless. No wonder Lora suggested taking care of our child, even entertaining the idea of a shared husband. She's willingly onboard!""Enough, enough!" Eric sighed, speechless. What was all this talk about?Their connection went beyond mere emotional ties. Even if everything else

Eric shrugged."It's none of my business. If others want to get married, can you really stop them?" He spoke candidly. "Besides, you're not getting any younger. Find someone to marry already!" But he couldn't help but feel that Ruth was probably someone no one dared to marry.Yet, having someone like Ruth at home had its advantages—there would likely be no quarrels in the household. As long as Ruth was willing, the marital relationship would undoubtedly be harmonious.Unharmonious? Ridiculous!Just look at Ruth's character. Could any ordinary man overpower her?Sean had once bluntly stated that he would not marry Ruth. He might end up spending the latter half of his life in a wheelchair!Sylvia sat beside them, desperately holding back her laughter.She knew Ruth must have feelings for Eric. Unfortunately, outstanding men in this circle were scarce.Ruth was undoubtedly aiming high, beyond the reach of the young heirs from the prestigious families in King City.Only someone

Eric had no clue about Ruth's true intentions. He had made his choice, and there wasn't much he could say about it.Even with Sylvester's wedding looming, Eric and Sylvia couldn't interfere much—work beckoned at the appointed hour.-As noon approached, Ruth arrived, adorned with the necklace they had picked out at the Rosewood Estate yesterday.Eric's mind went blank. He seemed to have discerned this woman's motives."Haven't left yet?" Eric asked casually.Ruth smiled faintly. "Why the rush? Since you've gifted me this valuable necklace, how about treating you and your wife to lunch before I go?"Eric raised his hand hastily. "Hold on! This thing isn't a gift from me! Be careful how you phrase that when you meet others later!"He was wary of misunderstandings.Ruth nodded repeatedly. If she invited them for lunch, Eric would certainly accept the invitation. Seizing the opportunity to fleece her a bit would be rather satisfying.However, as the three descended the stairs,
