I Married a Beautiful Boss After the Breakup Chapter 101
Eric had no idea about the schemes of his uncle and aunt.At that moment, he was rushing toward the village hall. Seeing that Eric was driving a bit fast, Sylvia said, "Slow down, Eric. The road ahead is narrow!" Eric slowed down and said, "I'm sorry. My emotions got the best of me. Land means everything to farmers. If my dad loses the land certificate, it's all over for him!"Sylvia pressed her lips together and stayed quiet. She understood Eric's worry.They had sold pigs, cows, horses, and poultry, gathering just over 3,000 dollars. This amount couldn't even buy Sylvia a bottle of foundation. This money probably represented a whole family's assets in the countryside. It made sense why he felt so anxious.They soon reached the village hall.Hank was sweeping outside when he noticed a fancy black car pulling up. He put down the broom and approached. Seeing Eric step out didn't surprise him. He knew Eric's life had improved since his visit to Eric's father in the city."What

Eric was taken aback. 'Uncle Richard lied to me?' Before heading to the village hall from Richard's house, Eric had thanked him sincerely.Meanwhile, Sylvia frowned, saying, "There's a 4-dollar difference per kilogram, adding up to over 3,000 dollars for more than 500 kilograms! And that's only for the pigs. We haven't even talked about the cow and horse!""You sold the cow and horse as well?" Hank asked, "How much did you get for them?""1,200 dollars for the cow and 800 dollars for the horse.""What?" Hank was shocked, "Eric, your uncle clearly swindled you. I've seen your cow and horse. That cow is large, and it has a calf. It could easily fetch at least 1,800 dollars. And where can you buy a horse for 800 dollars these days? Even a strong horse costs around 2,000 dollars. How can your uncle act so shamelessly? First, I'll make out a certificate for you, and then we'll confront him about this!""Or... maybe we should just let it go." Eric shrugged.Settling the matter with R

"Hmph!" Hank huffed with a cold tone. "Lately, pork prices have been around 6 dollars, yet you fed Eric the lie that it's just 2 dollars! You've made a profit of 4 dollars per kilogram!"And what about the cow? You sold it for 1,200 dollars, even though it was pregnant? Would you do that if you were in his shoes?"And the horse! Less than 800 dollars? Rickard, how could you take advantage of Eric's absence from the village to deceive him about the prices?"Richard's panic grew. He had secretly taken a significant amount from Eric, exploiting his nephew's lack of knowledge about market prices.Initially, he planned to ensure that if Blake suspected something and questioned him later, he could say he had already given all the money to Eric. This would leave Blake unsure about whom to trust. Blake would then hesitate to ask about the money. But he didn't expect Eric to reveal everything to Hank."I... I..." Richard stuttered. Eventually, he said, "I earned those, right, Delilah?""Y

Hank received a call after resolving the matter between Richard and Eric.Once the call ended, he turned to Eric, saying, "I'm sorry to ask, but could you give me a ride back to the village hall? The survey team is arriving soon."Eric nodded immediately. He would have offered a ride even if Hank hadn't requested it.They passed Hank's house on their way, and Eric pulled over."Why are we stopping here? I need to get to the village hall," Hank inquired.Eric smiled and took out a carton of cigarettes from the trunk. He then said, "Mayor Jenkins, I didn't bring much when I returned, so I have this for you.""I appreciate it, but I can't accept it," Hank declined politely. "It's too kind. Helping you with your matter is part of my job as the mayor. I can't take this."Eric returned the carton to Hank and insisted, "Please, Mayor Jenkins, accept it. There's a difference between personal matters and work matters. When you visited my dad at the hospital, that was personal. It's separ

Hank was well aware of what Richard had in mind, so he barked, "What are you talking about, Richard? If this plot doesn't belong to Blake, then who does it belong to? You?" "Yes!" Richard replied, gritting his teeth. "It's mine. Just put it under my name.""How could you…" Hank was furious.He turned to Miles and said, "Mr. Upshur, don't listen to him. This plot belongs to Blake Johnson."Frowning, Miles said, "Since there's a dispute, we'll hold off on measuring this specific plot for now. We'll measure Richard Johnson's part first."Mayor Jenkins, please ensure that Blake Johnson applies for the certificate again. We'll come back in a couple of days. Otherwise, there's no other solution."Hank pointed at Richard, his finger trembling. "How could you do this, you rascal? You're ruining our village's reputation!"Richard remained indifferent toward Hank's comment. Standing beside Eric, Sylvia could not stand Richard anymore and asked, "Is your uncle always like this?"Eric s

Upon realizing that their land was short of a unit, Delilah became upset and exclaimed, "The certificate clearly says 3.5 acres! How come you measured one-tenth less? If you shortchange us by a tenth here, think of the land lost in many households. That's a big loss!"Delilah's words led the crowd to protest, saying Miles's measuring tool was faulty.Miles felt helpless and explained, "Folks! We're using satellite tech to measure your plots. This gives accurate measures, and data is safe for confirmation. We can't manipulate the results."But the villagers didn't accept this as they thought the survey team was cheating them.Since they were doubtful, Miles had to show Richard how to use the tool and have him measure himself. It was simple: Richard just had to walk around the plot after pressing a button.Soon, Richard returned from his round. To his surprise, it gave the same result."How's this possible?" Richard was puzzled, scratching his head."What if we measure your other

Richard and Delilah exchanged a glance when they saw Eric returning with the certificate in his hand. Richard patted Delilah on the shoulder and said, "Delilah, go back and check if it's still there!"After completing the measurement of the last household, Miles turned back to measure Eric's plot.The land covered 11.3 acres, more than Richard's. Upon seeing the results, Eric breathed in relief. He intended to give some of the money to Elly while the rest would support his aging parents.Just then, Richard and Delilah came over. Delilah had confirmed that the item Richard had mentioned was still at their house.Grinning, Richard turned to Eric and asked, "Feeling content now?"Eric opted for silence, deeply disgusted by Richard's behavior today."It's worth around 100,000 dollars." Richard continued. "Roughly what my house costs. But, Eric, I doubt you'll get to enjoy it. Why not let me handle it? Once your parents pass, I'll find them a good resting place."Hank snarled, "Ric

"W-Who told you this?" Elly asked in surprise. Upon hearing that, Slyvia could tell it was the truth. "Your uncle told us about it," she said.Elly sighed. "After all these years of keeping it a secret, my brother had to find out like this. It's no wonder he reacted this way after learning he's not our parents' biological child."Slyvia nodded and asked, "Why didn't you tell Eric earlier? If you had informed him beforehand, today's incident might have been avoided."Elly shook her head. "Years ago, when our parents worked in Salt City, they found my brother abandoned by the roadside. He was nearly frozen to death. They brought him home out of kindness."Our mother suffered miscarriages, so they chose to raise Eric as their own. When my father returned to our hometown with Eric, he made sure the villagers kept this secret. They didn't want Eric to know the truth. I can't believe my uncle…""Your uncle is truly wicked," Slyvia said. "Not only did he disclose the truth to Eric, but
