With that said, the receptionist left.Roger thought about it and found it reasonable. After all, Eric was the founder and CIO of the Innova Group. It was perfectly reasonable for him to leave work at 7:00 or 8:00 p.m., let alone 11:00 p.m. or 12:0o a.m.However, he waited until after 8:00 p.m.!They couldn't understand Eric didn't need to pass through the lobby since he could directly go to the underground parking lot after work.It was past 9:00 p.m.Roger patted the person next to him. "Let's go! It's already 9:00 p.m., and we're starving to death!"Even the most powerful expert needed to eat.Moreover, these people hadn't eaten lunch, and their stomachs had been growling for a long time.The person next to him looked embarrassed. "Bro, w-we're out of money! All the remaining money was used for bail! We're broke!""Call Roco! He must still have money on him!" Roger said.But Roco's phone couldn't be reached.Roger's face looked worse than if he had eaten shit. It was as i

Roger gritted his teeth. "Damn it! I'll take you on!"Clutching his fists, he resolved to take down Eric first, no matter what.Yet, before his fist could even swing out, Eric's fist was faster, slamming into his chest and sending him flying out of the office.The door he had just fixed shattered into pieces upon impact.Stunned, he glanced at Eric, his vision blurred, and then he passed out.When he regained consciousness, he found himself in the police station again.But this time, things were different. He was handcuffed, facing two stern-faced police officers.One of them stared at him. "Hernandez, why do you keep causing trouble for the Innova Group repeatedly? Don't you know the company's status in Salt City?"Both of them looked displeased.As public servants, their salaries were funded by the Salt City government, and a portion of that income came from the Innova Group's taxes.By causing trouble for the Innova Group, weren't they obstructing their source of income?

Amelia was observant of the smallest detail, suspecting that something might be amiss between Eric and Sylvia.It wouldn't be unusual for issues to arise. Eric was wealthy beyond measure, so who wouldn't fall for him?As for Eric himself?Since one sought his wealth, it would be reasonable for him to offer to a younger beauty. After so many years of marriage with Sylvia, it would be understandable if he grew tired of her.Take the Williams family for instance, regularly indulging in lavish feasts but occasionally settling for simple fare. Who's to say a cultivated flower smells sweeter than a wild one? Eric appeared to have eyes for other women too.Sylvia chuckled. "Mom, are you not tired enough? You've taken care of Brook, and now you're here for us. When Yvette grows up a bit more, you should rest properly for a few years and stop worrying about these things.""How can I do that?" Amelia retorted irritably, "Yvette will eventually marry off. With so much money, who will inheri

"If only they hadn't volunteered to come to Salt City," Hunter muttered, prompting the others to resume their facade of decency.Roco forced a laugh, continuing. "Once you hear the whole story, you'll understand. I just couldn't help myself! After all, I'm only human, right? I have needs too, don't I?"Nods of agreement followed—there was no arguing with basic biological urges."Exactly!" Roco continued. "I just couldn't resist. I touched that woman's buttocks, and bam! Got another beating, then the police showed up and arrested me."Let me tell you about the third time! I learned my lesson, alright! So, I went to the Innova Group, and guess what? Ran into another beauty!"Oh, she was stunning! A real beauty! Absolutely breathtaking!"But I remembered my lesson this time, didn't touch her. I just asked her to lead me to see Eric. But she refused to cooperate, turned, and walked away!"Could I let her go? No way! I reached out and grabbed her!"But surprise, surprise! This prett

However, Alvarez's focus wasn't on Sylvia's figure and beauty, but on the bracelet adorning her wrist.Alvarez frowned. "Uncle Hunter, do you still remember the family heirloom? The matriarch's bracelet."Hunter's expression shifted slightly. "Of course, I remember. Seeing her bracelet is like seeing the matriarch herself, but that bracelet has been lost for many years. It's said that it was taken away by the branch that went to King City."Some members of the family agree to abolish this rule, but others oppose it. Fortunately, that thing hasn't appeared since then, or it might have sparked a new family dispute."The Hernandez family, a prestigious lineage, was quite intricate.Consider the matriarch's bracelet, for instance. Some argued that catching a glimpse of the bracelet was akin to encountering the matriarch herself, while others were steadfast in their desire to overturn this tradition.Yet, their efforts never bore fruit.A mere sentence could shatter their resolve: If
