The patient was confident that if he mentioned his financial struggles, Eric would cover the cost of the medicine. However, he understood the importance of not appearing too greedy."Okay." Eric nodded. "Go get the medicine, and remember to take it on time every day."After expressing gratitude once again, the patient left.Kirk smiled and remarked, "Hol. Johnson, you're truly extraordinary. In just three days, he has already shown significant improvement! It's truly incredible!"If the hospital had such a miraculous doctor, all difficult and complex diseases could be easily solved. Unfortunately, Eric's energy was limited, as he had only ventured halfway into the field of medicine and could not fully devote himself to the profession.Hearing Kirk's words, Eric waved his hand and modestly said, "It's nothing commendable. In King City, there are several seasoned holistic physicians with similar skills. It's just a bit unfortunate that most of them are quite old and have retired."
The Williams sat together for dinner, awaiting Eric and Sylvia's return.As they ate, Brook revealed, "After I called Tiger last night, he sent someone to keep an eye on Ivan."This revelation took Queenie aback. It seemed to her that Tiger held a significant position in the underworld. She sensed a strong unity not only among the Williams but also among other families and underworld figures in Salt City.Queenie had observed Irvin visiting the Williams multiple times, establishing a close bond with Eric.Brook continued. "Today, a few individuals from King City sought out Ivan. We suspect them to be the reinforcements he summoned. Queenie, do you know which family in King City has the closest ties to the Oberdeens?"Typically, prominent families maintained their own social circles."It's the Moores," Queenie replied. "The Moores, a second-tier family in King City, have the closest connection to them. Their son is mentally disabled. Lately, my family had been urging me to marry h
Meanwhile, Ivan had arrived at the Williams residence. Besides the Williams, Tyson, a few chefs, and personnel managing the estate, outsourced from relevant companies, were present.The Williams preferred simplicity and refrained from hiring household staff. Regarding security, they deemed it unnecessary, relying on the martial arts skills of the Williams siblings. With Tyson's presence, additional security was deemed redundant.Ivan was aware of the Williams' lack of security and confidently entered with his people. Beside him stood a young man leading about half a dozen men, clearly intending to settle scores with them."Heh. The coward who fled yesterday brought reinforcements today. Do you really believe the few of you can take us down?" Brook taunted.Ivan chuckled. "I didn't anticipate the Williams family having a grandmaster, but that doesn't grant you the right to hold onto people!"He gestured to the young man beside him. "He's Jayden Moore, the heir of the Moore family f
Jayden seethed at the sight of Ivan. "What's going on?!"His father's voice had been trembling over the phone, urging him to apologize to the Williams. Matteo had emphasized the scar-faced man, emphasizing that Jayden shouldn't return to King City if he failed to make amends.As for matters concerning the Oberdeens, Gilliard had advised Jayden to distance himself from them.Jayden smirked disdainfully. "The Oberdeens are truly something. My father called to inform me that the engagement between Felix and Queenie is canceled! Simultaneously, the Moores have severed ties with the Oberdeens!"Jayden ignored Ivan and turned to Eric. "Hol. Johnson, my sincere apologies for any offense. Please find it in your heart to forgive me."Eric nodded. "Alright, if there's nothing else, kindly refrain from disturbing my family during their meal."Quickly, Jayden led his men away from the Williams residence, leaving Ivan bewildered in his wake."Damn it!" Ivan cursed under his breath, questioni
Connor understood Amelia's concerns. The entertainment business brimmed with temptations, no doubt.Amelia's joy radiated. "Sylvester, you and Seraphine need to expedite things, too. Misty is on the brink of giving birth. Once their little one starts toddling, I can look after another."Raising kids was challenging, yet Amelia relished it. She had already brought up her four children, so a few more wouldn't faze her.More people meant a livelier atmosphere—an extension of her dream to have more grandchildren.-Sylvia and Eric had rested adequately and arrived at the Innova Group in the morning. The couple approached the entrance and spotted an employee briskly leaving with a box."Hold on!" Eric called out.The employee halted and turned, smiling. "Good morning, Ms. Williams and Mr. Johnson."Eric studied the employee. "Lenny... are you resigning?"Eric's memory served him well—Lenny Young had been with Innova Tech since its inception. When the Innova Group formed, Lenny cont
"Quentin is undoubtedly capable, but his approach is excessively harsh. Altering technical plans out of the blue is just one of the issues. Several talented individuals I nurtured were driven away by his behavior. They were performing well, for goodness' sake!"The catalyst for my resignation was a phone call. Quentin insisted that everyone in the planning team, regardless of their position, must answer the phone within three rings or risk receiving a poor year-end review!"Last month, a team member failed to answer his call once, and he terminated his employment! I took more than 20 seconds to respond to his call last month, and he undermined me at every turn! We've been revising plans daily this month, and no new plans have been produced!"What's the point of working under these conditions?"Hearing this, both Eric and Sylvia understood.Eric said, "Your capabilities are unquestionable. Isn't it your team that developed the construction plans for the Westlake data center? I beli
Seeing the unified opposition from the planning team, Quentin seethed with anger."Alright. You think the company can't function without you? Just wait!"He left, cursing.-Meanwhile, in the CEO's office.After watching the planning team's meeting video, Sylvia was furious."Mell, gather everyone in the company's management team for a meeting in half an hour! The managers and deputy managers of the IT department must attend! No matter what they are working on now, drop everything!"Soon, all the Innova Group's management team members arrived at the meeting room.Some were curious about the sudden meeting, as the top executives usually convened. In their impression, the Innova Group didn't have many meetings unless there was significant progress in a big project."What's going on? Why did they suddenly call all of us for a meeting?" a manager asked."I don't know, but I saw Ms. Williams and Mr. Johnson returning this morning. Could there be something big happening? Or maybe t
The high-ranking executives' team remained silent, primarily due to their uncertainty about Sylvia's intentions. They figured that if it wasn't their concern, staying silent was the right thing to do. After all, speaking up might stir unwanted trouble.Even if they didn't offend Sylvia, they might offend Eric, the CIO and co-founder of the Innova Group.Finally, one of the senior executives spoke up. "Since no one is speaking, let me express my thoughts."He had come from Innova Tech, and his high position in the company was a result of the company's recognition of the veterans from Innova Tech. Despite their esteemed positions, they were required to have corresponding capabilities."It's clear that there are issues in Mr. Jones' management approach. The Innova Group has always prioritized its people. I believe an employee should not be measured solely by performance. Performance does not represent everything."Of course, the performance of the project team has always been excelle
