Eric spent over an hour in the kitchen and made steaks, mac 'n' cheese, and fruit salad."Sylvia, dinner is ready," Eric called out.Sylvia limped to the kitchen and furrowed her brow when she saw the dishes."What's wrong?" asked Eric.Sylvia rolled her eyes at Eric and replied, "It's high in fat! Didn't you complain that I was heavy yesterday? Are you trying to make me gain more weight?"Eric found himself at a loss for words, never expecting that Sylvia would stubbornly cling to his words from the previous night."I was just kidding," Eric said with a sheepish smile. He then ignored Sylvia as he picked up his cutlery and began devouring his meal.Sylvia took a few bites of the fruit salad and then scooped a spoonful of mac 'n' cheese into her mouth, observing Eric as he enjoyed his meal. She had assumed it would be greasy, but it was surprisingly delicious. Sylvia realized just how hungry she was, especially since the kitchen was empty and she didn't feel like hiring a housek

Jasmine gnashed her teeth. Eric had undergone a noticeable transformation. He used to listen to her obediently, never daring to speak up against her. The pain caused by Jasmine's betrayal had deeply wounded Eric, making it impossible for him to consider taking her back. Nevertheless, Jasmine was not willing to give up easily.Jasmine cheated on Eric with David for his money. She wanted David to divorce his wife and marry her, but he refused. Jasmine had stayed with Eric for almost a decade because he was a good person, but the only problem was his financial situation. Now, in order to get the Porsche that David had promised her, Jasmine knew she had to win Eric back.Eric had expected that Elly would not show up at the hospital today. He had seen Elly's post on Instagram yesterday night, and it seemed like there was a conflict between Elly and her husband.Eric sat alone in the ward, and someone unexpectedly showed up.The mayor of their small town, Hank Jenkins, had come to visit

Brook was prepared to continue monitoring Eric secretly when he ran into a member of the Sonnex family. The Williams and Sonnex might be competitors in Salt City, but they got along together quite well."Uncle Irvin," Brook greeted the middle-aged man politely."Brook?" Irvin Sonnex was delighted to see Brook. "You're here to visit Grandpa Josh again, aren't you? Come, let's have a sip of wine in his room."Brook had no choice but to reluctantly agree.Josh Sonnex was in the private ward as well."Uncle Irvin, you're here alone?" Brook asked as he realized Irvin was there on his own.After Irvin helped Josh to lie down on the bed, he poured a glass of wine for Brook and said, "Grandpa Josh is asleep most of the time, so there's no point keeping the rest of the family here waiting."Brook wore an awkward smile. Irvin seemed to be unaware of Brook's implied meaning, or perhaps he was pretending to be clueless. Everyone in the Sonnex family knew Brook was pursuing Misty, Irvin's da

Sylvia did not intervene since Eric did not suffer any losses. Moreover, Eric did not want to rely on Sylvia whenever troubles occurred and be a nuisance to her."How are your ankles?" asked Eric.He remembered Sylvia had twisted her ankles badly the other night, so he did not expect her to recover so quickly."It still hurts, but it doesn't stop me from taking down a group of thugs," replied Sylvia.The corner of Eric's mouth twitched. That explained why Sylvia was not worried about sharing a house with him. It was because she knew self-defense.Eric started making dinner after they returned to the house. Meanwhile, Sylvia was liaising with her secretary. She had been absent for two days, and Sylvester had been taking care of things."Alright, I got it. Inform the rest that we will be having a meeting tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. to come up with a solution." Sylvia sighed and hung up the phone.Eric was serving the dishes when he overheard Sylvia on the phone."Is there a problem?" E

Eric panted heavily at the roadside. He had completely provoked David, but he remained composed. In the past, he would have been crippled with fear if he had provoked David.Eric hailed a taxi to get to the hospital. David knew his father was still in the hospital, so Eric was worried about Blake. Someone patted Eric on the shoulder before he could get into the taxi."Hey buddy, we met again. What a coincidence."Eric turned back and saw the same man with slick hair he had met previously at the same spot."Why are you here as well?" Eric furrowed his brow. He could not help but wonder if the man was tracking him."Is it weird to see me here? I have some business dealings with David. That punk still owes me a few hundred grand! I'm here for the money.""I'm afraid it's difficult to recover the money," said Eric. "David is a stingy b*stard. It's impossible to get money from him!"Brook smiled confidently. "He doesn't have the audacity not to pay back my money."Eric sighed as he
