All the employees happily headed home to celebrate New Year's, with non-urgent matters postponed until after the holiday.Andy would need to make new plans once the new year arrived.Innova Tech had recently been established and secured two significant contracts from Williams Corp. and Sonnex Corp. This stroke of luck had left them without predefined performance targets for the coming year, which was unrealistic to set.Andy and Eric each withdrew 100,000 dollars, leaving the remaining funds in the company's account. Andy anticipated this might not suffice for next year's operational expenses, so they decided to take it one step at a time.Despite Eric's infrequent visits to the company, he was aware of its situation. Next year, Innova Tech was determined not to cut corners in research and development. They needed to find a solution, perhaps by seeking investment from the Williams and Sonnexes.With the company closing for the holidays, Andy returned to his hometown. Henry asked E

Amelia left him speechless when she said, "Sylvester, since Sylvia and Eric are going to King City tomorrow, you should go with them. Don't miss this great opportunity!"Henry nodded, saying, "I agree. Our family has always been careful with money. We shouldn't let these chances slip by. Custom-made clothes like these don't come cheap."This delighted Seraphine—it was her plan all along. Fortunately, her future in-laws were cooperative, so Sylvester couldn't refuse.He was almost in tears. Seraphine wasn't his type, but she was too assertive. Her trip to Salt City was also at Grace's request to pick up Eric and Sylvia. As for Sylvester, it was her spontaneous idea to bring him along to King City to strengthen their relationship.-The next morning, they flew to King City with two bodyguards for Eric and Sylvia's safety."Aunt Grace is really determined!" Seraphine remarked, "The battle between the Montgomerys and the Hernandezes isn't over yet. Eric will definitely attract attent

Orion possessed remarkable skills indeed. Sylvia's facial wounds displayed the symptoms he had described, appearing redder and more swollen than before. According to Orion, this was a normal reaction and nothing to worry about.After a brief rest, Orion went to a medicine cabinet and skillfully gathered some herbs. He handed them to Eric and said, "Take one set of these per week, dissolve them in plain water, and consume them in the morning. Gradually reduce the water each day."Eric accepted the medicine and asked, "Hol. Thornfield, is there a specific technique for the Blossom Needling? I noticed you applied pressure at different times and places. Is there a reason for that?"Initially, Eric believed he could easily learn the Blossom Needling technique with his photographic memory. However, he quickly realized it was not as simple as he had thought. The technique demanded precision and expertise beyond his initial assumption.Orion glanced at Eric and asked, "Have you studied acu

Grace was briefly stunned but quickly regained her composure as a sizable group of Montgomerys awaited her.The Montgomerys were a distinguished aristocratic family, with Alexander Montgomery, Seraphine's father, as the family head.Grace held the second-highest rank in seniority, with the late family head having three more sons and a daughter. Undoubtedly, the family thrived.On their way to the estate, Grace instructed Eric and Sylvia to address Seraphine's father as "Uncle" and advised them not to worry about the opinions of the other family members.Sylvia gained a deeper appreciation for Grace's challenges upon learning about the Montgomerys' situation.Despite everyone's presence at the entrance, a hint of displeasure lingered on their faces. Alexander summoned them all as it was Sylvia and Eric's first visit to the Montgomerys.Alexander had already arranged an elaborate reception, perhaps out of a sense that the Montgomerys owed Grace a great deal.Grace only introduced

While Grace spoke on one side, Eric carefully prepared medicine for Sylvia on the other side. With the Blossom Needling treatment, there was no need for external medicine.As he simmered the medicine, Seraphine approached Sylvester."Why do you always have to follow me?" Sylvester turned and said, feeling helpless.Even though he knew Seraphine had arranged for him to come to King City, he didn't have much choice. However, spending time with Eric and Sylvia wasn't a bad thing."Eric, I'll tend to the fire," he said.Eric chuckled. "Sylvester, you better stay with Seraphine. I'll handle the stove. It's not too difficult."He worried Sylvester might struggle, given his affluent background and potential lack of kitchen experience. This task was second nature for someone like him, with a rural background. Sylvester felt embarrassed, hoping Seraphine would leave on her own."Shall we go?" Seraphine didn't feel embarrassed at all. She took Sylvester's hand and said, "Since we have s
