Feelings should be mutual. If Lora wasn't willing, then what was there to discuss? Jason certainly couldn't force anything, could he?Max held onto Eric's arm. "Uncle Eric, didn't Ms. Kensington say you were her best friend? Maybe you should pick me up tomorrow. If that big-nosed foreigner bothers Ms. Kensington again, you can help him out."Eric, feeling cornered, reluctantly nodded. "Alright! I'll pick you up tomorrow."-By the following afternoon, Eric had nearly forgotten about it. By the time he arrived at the school, most of the students had already left. Seeing Eric agree last night, Elly had not come to pick up Max today, confident that her brother was usually reliable. Who would have guessed he almost forgot?Luckily, it didn't cause any issues.When Eric reached the school gate, Max was hiding behind Lora, while Jason stood there, looking extremely upset. Seeing Eric, Max quickly grabbed Lora's hand, "Ms. Kensington, my uncle's here!"Lora, visibly relieved, hur

Lena approached and sat beside him. "What's the matter? Any problems?"Tobias nodded repeatedly. "I must admit, this student is the most outstanding and accomplished I've ever mentored!"He wasn’t measuring by money alone. One's achievements could indeed be evaluated through financial success, but that’s far from the only standard. Success in life, in a career, or even as a capable mother or father—all of these counted as achievements. The criteria differ. Some may find success in their careers, yet fail as parents, which, in that aspect, made them unsuccessful. Tobias’ standard was professional achievement, excelling in a particular field or industry.Undoubtedly, in this regard, Eric was exceptionally successful. He had broken the monopoly of the three major international companies, allowing the country to have its own products, free from the stranglehold of these giants. This was an immense achievement!Tobias continued. "But Eric is already married, and his wife is the Inno

There was certainly some worry. After all, facing four tall and muscular foreigners, it was natural to feel a bit disadvantaged in terms of physical strength.However, Lora didn't expect Eric to be so skilled. She didn't even see him move, and those two men were already subdued by him. This only deepened her admiration for Eric. Wealthy and successful in his career, with such impressive martial skills—there was no reason to reject a man like this.Lora even wondered, 'With such a well-maintained physique, his abilities in other areas must be quite remarkable, right?'She envied Sylvia—she must be genuinely content!Eric said, "Your aunt is a martial artist. She worried I might get bullied outside, so she taught me a few moves. I didn't expect them to be so useful."Lora was stunned. Sylvia knew martial arts, too? If Eric, taught by her, was this capable, then she must be even more formidable. Who would have guessed? Could that amazing figure be the result of martial arts trainin

Lora had been awarded the title of Outstanding Teacher out of nowhere!Typically, an Outstanding Teacher title was earned when a class achieved the highest grades in the entire school, but this significant detail was conveniently ignored by many.People often jumped to conclusions. They believed Lora had some sort of affair with the principal to receive this award. As for the actual academic performance of her class, they chose to overlook it entirely.By noon, Lora felt uneasy. After lunch, she found her close colleague, Bella Thorne. "Bella, why does the school's atmosphere feel... strange today?""You’re just noticing?" Bella replied. "Don't you go online? Haven’t you seen what's being said? Everyone’s gossiping. They claim you’re having an affair with Mr. Toll and that you have a foreign boyfriend. Isn’t his name Jason Leaks?"Lora shook her head repeatedly. "His name is Jason Bing, and we’ve already broken up. Where did you get... Boden Leaks from?"Suddenly, it clicked!

Eric hung his clothes on the rack and said, "She reported it to the police just after work this afternoon. We should have some results in a day or two."It's infuriating how people spread rumors without knowing the full story. When I picked up Max this afternoon, a parent asked me if Lora was easy. Can you believe that?"Sylvia didn't immediately grasp what Eric meant.A few seconds later, she understood. "What kind of people are these? Twisting words and taking things out of context?"She spoke as she headed to the bathroom to wash her face.When she came out, she saw Eric reading a book. She sat down beside him.After glancing at him, she suddenly asked, "Hey, do you want to know if... she is easy?"Eric was exasperated. "Can't you be serious for once? My lady, can you behave properly?"Sylvia chuckled. "I'm just considering things for you! Imagine back in the day when men had multiple partners, indulging in variety every night. They must have been so happy!"Nowadays, it's
