Mrs. Westman repeatedly struck Jasmine until the latter's mouth foamed, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner.David did not even dare move a muscle as he watched Mrs. Westman unleash her wrath on Jasmine.Eventually, Jasmine collapsed to the ground, unconscious, so Mrs. Westman went through David's computer. Seeing the chat history between David and Jasmine was like pouring oil on fire. In the beginning, she did not trust Eric, but that was only until she saw Jasmine and David in the office. The chat history was the last straw.Mrs. Westman picked up the computer and slammed it to the ground, snarling, "I bought you this high-performance computer because you said it would enhance your work, and you use it to cheat on me!?"The monitor was cracked into pieces.David shivered in fear uncontrollably as Mrs. Westman approached him. He was shorter than her, so Mrs. Westman looked down at him and pinched his ear."David Westman! I've treated you well, and this is how you re

"It's a long story." Elly sighed and said, "On the way to school this morning, the boys said they miss their uncle. Why don't you drop by for dinner this evening and pack some food for Mom as well?"Eric knew Mrs. Johnson's favorite food. The hospital provided meals, but none of them were her favorites."I'll let you know if I'll be joining you for dinner in the afternoon," said Eric.He had to go back and cook dinner for Sylvia in the evening since she loved his cooking. Moreover, it would be better for him to return early, considering their agreement.In the afternoon, Sylvia texted Eric, informing him that she had to work overtime at the office. Eric responded, mentioning that he would return later in the day as he planned to visit his sister's house in the evening. That was the extent of their conversation.Elly had to go grocery shopping after picking up the boys, so Eric decided to take a taxi to her house. Ever since Elly and Craig got married, they had worked hard and save

After dinner, Eric advised Elly to take it easy. He spent some time playing with his nephews before packing food and leaving. When he returned to the hospital, a middle-aged man was waiting for him in the ward. He was none other than Irvin Sonnex."Sorry to disturb you. I bought some gifts for you," said Irvin.Eric fell silent, wondering why Irvin was there. He placed the food on the table and asked his mother to eat before pouring a glass of warm water for Irvin.Eric had a hunch that Irvin had an extraordinary background, but he was still unaware that Irvin was the decision-maker at Sonnex Corp. Although Eric had lost the business card Irvin had given him, he remembered his number and the minimalist design of the card, which only had his name and phone number.Despite having met Irvin only twice, he left a good impression on Eric. Irvin had even bought gifts for Eric, showing his generosity despite not being obligated to do so."Mr. Irvin, you didn't have to. Anyone would have

Sylvester saw Eric was there, so he smiled at Sylvia and said, "Your husband is here, so I'll leave the two of you alone. Make time to bring him back for a meal. Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, and Dad are concerned about this matter."Sylvia pouted. She never expected Eric would show up at the building and wait for her."Let's go home," said Sylvia, hopping on the passenger seat.Eric glanced at Sylvester before getting into the car."Have you eaten?" asked Eric. He realized he had asked a stupid question.Sylvia shook her head quietly in response."Is something bothering you?" asked Eric."You don't have to pay attention to my messages and come pick me up at the office next time," replied Sylvia.Eric sneered and said, "What's wrong with picking you up from the office?"Sylvia glanced at Eric. "According to the agreement, it's clearly stated that we won't interfere with each other's life. What you did was against the rules."Eric was stunned. "This is ridiculous. You're being overbe

Andy stayed at the hospital and had a meal before he left at noon. Eric glanced at the parking lot after Andy had left and realized the business minivan was still there. It seemed like Sylvia had been sitting in the business minivan until noon.Eric thought Sylvia might glance over, but she did not. He quickly dismissed his thoughts and returned to the ward. Cody and Max were taking a nap, so Mrs. Johnson had also gone to get some rest."You are going to start your own company?" asked Elly.It was worth a shot with Andy's connections and Eric's expertise.Eric nodded and said, "Yes, I plan to start my own company. Finding a job is difficult since the industry is going through layoffs now. Moreover, it is an unspoken rule in this industry that people in our line of work will be eliminated at the age of 35. I'm nearly 30, so why not start my own company instead?"Elly sighed and said, "I wish I could help you."She felt helpless and awful for not being able to support Eric financia
