Sylvia orchestrated the matter and called Paxton the next morning on behalf of the Innova Group. She expressed the intention to visit the Orlandos in the afternoon after work.The Orlandos were delighted.Recognition was something people craved, and Sylvia's call undoubtedly symbolized the Innova Group's acknowledgment of the Orlandos. Sylvia's connection with the Williams also hinted at the Williams' recognition of them.Wince felt even happier, as it seemed Sylvia recognized him as well. Wince had an imaginative mind, but why would she visit if Sylvia didn't acknowledge him?-In the afternoon, Ruth dressed remarkably, catching everyone by surprise."You're so stylish," Eric remarked, praising Ruth for the first time. He wanted to use different words but was afraid of upsetting her."No choice," Ruth explained. "The Crimson grandmasters have a high status. They likely have information about me. I'm afraid they might recognize me if I don't put on heavy makeup. In that case, it

"Are you sure about that?" Wince asked.Upon hearing that Eric and Sylvia had entered the Rosewood Estate together, Wince didn't initially react much.However, the person reporting back added speculation about a possible affair, sparking Wince's imagination."Yes, I saw it clearly!" The person explained, "His assistant left after dropping them off at the Rosewood Estate. I personally watched them get out of the car and enter the elevator together!""Fuck!" Wince cursed. "I can't believe she's married!""I don't think so!" Paxton said, "While it's true that Eric is an exceptional young man, do you truly believe that's sufficient to captivate Sylvia? What would she gain by being with him? Is she intrigued by those daunting scars on their faces? Can't she choose another suitor? Why would she opt for someone as visually unappealing as Eric?"Wince nodded. He had been frightened when he saw Eric at the banquet. Besides, being the Williams heiress, Sylvia wouldn't be interested in Eric

Wince felt drowsy in no time after the red wine went down. He picked up the wine bottle, looking puzzled. "Did you buy fake wine? Why is it hitting me so hard?""How could that be?" Ruth smirked. "I've kept this bottle of wine for a long time. Maybe your body can't handle it..."Wince was instantly turned on as he gazed lustfully at Ruth. He stood up, ready to pounce on her. However, as soon as he took a step, he stumbled and fell to the floor.Seeing Wince on the floor, Ruth sneered, grabbed him, and tossed him onto the bed. Then, she patted his cheek and asked, "Wince, let me ask you. Are you and your family related to the Crimson Order?"Ruth did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.Still groggy, Wince replied, "My dad and my uncle are both part of the Crimson Order." Ruth was stunned. It seemed her suspicion was not unfounded. The Orlandos arriving in Salt City at the same time as the Crimson grandmasters went missing made them highly suspicious.She con

In the late afternoon, following their departure from the Innova Group, Eric and Sylvia noticed Wince standing nearby.Earlier that day, Eric had cautioned Sylvia to watch out for Wince, as Ruth had gathered intel from him about the Orlandos' schemes against Sylvia and the Innova Group.Despite their intention to steer clear, Wince approached them.Just as Wince was about to speak, Ruth also appeared."Hey!" She exclaimed, "Isn't it Mr. Orlando? Are you here to pick me up?"Wince was at a loss. He had almost forgotten about Ruth.However, Ruth was not going to let him off easily. "How could you be so heartless, Mr. Orlando? We had a great time last night at Salt City Grand Hotel, and today, you act like you don't know me. Are you trying to pretend you don't recognize me and wipe the slate clean?"Wince's face sank. He had come to the Innova Group today for Sylvia, not for Ruth.He glared at Ruth and said, "Please refrain from speaking nonsense in public. Otherwise, I can sue yo

The news of the Orlandos' actions spread quickly throughout Salt City. Henry and Irvin were shocked. The two in-laws gathered, and Irvin asked, "Henry! Who could have done this? Please don't tell me that it's Eric." His information was incomplete, and coupled with Wince's interest in Sylvia, he thought Wince had done something improper to anger Eric.Henry sighed. "It wasn't him. I just called and checked. It was a woman called Ruth!""Wow!" Irvin sucked in a breath of cold air.The Orlandos had been back in Salt City for only a few days, and such an incident had already occurred. He suddenly felt a bit sympathetic toward Paxton. If his bloodline could not be continued, what use was all the money?"Henry..." Irvin asked, "Should we go to the Orlandos? After all, Wince is Paxton's only son."Henry nodded. "Yes."After the decision, the two set off for the Orlando residence.-Meanwhile, Paxton was furious. According to the doctor, he could not save Wince since it had been to
