With Yvette in tow, Sylvia and Eric seemed quite relaxed.Seeing the couple enter the house, Amelia couldn't help but ask, "Why are you back so late?" Sylvia hung her bag and said, "Took Eric out to pick up girls."Eric froze in place, and Amelia was also stunned. She couldn't react for a moment.What kind of absurdity was this? Did it sound like something a wife would say? Taking her husband to pick up girls?Eric coughed and said, "I'll go take a shower. You guys talk."As he left, Amelia quickly pulled Sylvia over. "Have you lost your mind? Taking Eric to pick up girls? What's going on?"Sylvia remained unfazed. "There's a teacher who has taken a liking to Eric. She persistently visits the Innova Group daily in search of him. Since Eric refused to meet her, I figured she must be quite infatuated. I took the initiative to arrange for them to have a meal together."Amelia's face turned red, and she flicked Sylvia's forehead. "You foolish girl! You're playing with fire here! D
After breakfast, Sylvia spoke. "Eric, we need to visit the Rosewood Estate later. The cleaning lady wants us to open the door for her."Initially, the cleaning lady knew the door code. However, after Eric moved in several boxes of jewelry, Sylvia changed the code. Safety always had to be a priority.-Around nine o'clock, Eric and Sylvia arrived at the Rosewood Estate. Since it was the weekend, Sylvia brought Yvette along, allowing Amelia to rest.Though Sylvia didn't often take care of Yvette, she understood the exhaustion that came with it. Dealing with a crying child at night, followed by sleepless days, could wear down even the most patient woman.Eric and Sylvia hadn't been living there for long, and there wasn't much food at home. Eric had thrown away the food from previous visits to prevent it from spoiling.Approaching noon, Sylvia ordered some food from outside. The cleaning lady had lunch and continued working until past 2:00 p.m., finishing all the cleaning.The main
The woman, clutching her dog, glared at Eric and Sylvia. "Did you two kill my dog?"As she spoke, more people gathered around, some holding children.Upon seeing the breed, someone commented, "Miss, this type of dog is so fierce, could you keep it leashed? I saw your dog looking like it wanted to bite someone!"Others looked at Eric in shock.They had turned their heads upon hearing the dog barking and witnessed Eric delivering a single blow that ended its life.It was indeed quite terrifying!Tears welled up in the woman's eyes. "My dog doesn't bite! It must have been provoked by them!"Some shook their heads."Before a dog bites, its owner always says the same thing! Haven't there been enough dog-biting incidents in recent years? People have even died from dog bites!""Keeping such a fierce dog without a leash is irresponsible!"The woman didn't care—she just kept staring at Eric and Sylvia. "Which one of you killed my dog? Do you know how much money and effort we've put in
"What are you saying?" The woman glared at the two police officers, pointing at Eric. "He killed my dog, yet you don't arrest or make him compensate me. Instead. you punish and fine me?! Is there any justice left?! Ah!"She began to howl, as if deeply aggrieved. While ranting, she lunged towards the two police officers with bared teeth. "Can't you be reasonable? My child is dead!"The two police officers hastily raised their hands in retreat. "Ma'am, please calm down! We are just following protocol!"What did they mean by unreasonable? The woman hadn't heard a word from the police officers—she was just intent on fighting. She didn't even heed their warnings.With no choice, one of the police officers took out pepper spray. Meanwhile, the other grabbed the woman's hand, twisting it behind her back, and promptly subdued her.He pulled handcuffs from his waist and secured them around the woman. "Take her away. Still not content with a fine of 200 dollars, you want more penalties?"E
Naturally, it was from dog lovers.Killing dogs was more distressing than directly harming them.But behind this, things were not as simple as they seemed.How many people were profiting under the guise of being dog lovers?Eric and Sylvia paid no attention to such matters.-When they arrived at the company the next day, their secretary remarked, "Ms. Williams, this woman is truly despicable. She claims that her Doberman didn't bite people. It was only attracted to the baby scent Ms. Yvette exudes. The dog just wanted to get close and be friendly."Sylvia's expression was puzzled!Friendly?When a dog lunged with bared teeth, clearly aiming to knock someone down, was that called being friendly?"What are they saying online?" Sylvia asked.She didn't have time to keep up with online gossip.When there's time to spend with Yvette and go out and about, why waste so much time and youth on the Internet?"They're condemning you," the secretary replied. "They can't find Mr. John
How important was the Innova Group to Salt City? It was the sole high-tech company in Salt City, evidently driving the local economy's development.By now, the job opportunities provided by the Innova Group, the economic value created, the stimulation of Salt City's industries, and the tax revenue generated, all rank it as the top company in the entire Salt Province.Even conglomerates like Williams and Sonnex Corp. found it hard to match its achievements.The Salt City officials paid considerable attention to this company. Even the surveillance at the entrance of the Innova Group is linked to Salt City's security network. With just one alarm from Jacob, the relevant departments would dispatch immediately.Still, there were those whose actions were quicker than theirs, such as the Locke brothers!Someone forcibly scaled the gates of the Innova Group, only to be swiftly apprehended by them.Jacob peeked outside but dared not utter a word. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but admire
After a thorough investigation, it emerged that the female blogger and her boyfriend were both renters.Their relentless pursuit of social advancement at any cost had dire consequences. Instead of reaping rewards, their sensationalism only besmirched their reputation.Meanwhile, the Innova Group matter was promptly resolved, with the female blogger once again apprehended by authorities. The manipulation of facts and distortion of truth egregiously violated regulations, leading the blogger to grasp the gravity of her actions.However, the media's attention was conspicuously elsewhere.Who cared about a female blogger? What was the commotion over a dog bite? None of it seemed relevant.The real focus was on the exposure of Sylvia, the CEO of the Innova Group, and her private life. Previous reports painted Sylvia as an aloof, unmarried CEO. So how did she come to have a child? This revelation caused quite a stir.The animal lovers were driven away, replaced by a swarm of journalists
"How did this news stir up again?" Amelia couldn't understand this. For so many years, had there been any gossip about the Williams family? Even if there were any, it would usually concern changes in Williams Corp. Even Brook's marriage wasn't widely reported. Now, just because a dog got hit, all these news stories emerged."Mom, it's not really their fault," Sylvia remarked. "Those paparazzi are just idle—they have to report on everything I do, thinking it's some big news."Even if Sylvia wasn't the CEO of the Innova Group and still held a position in Williams Corp., those journalists would probably still be poking around. After all, that's their bread and butter. They hadn't heard about Sylvia getting married and having a child, so wouldn't that be considered news?Furthermore, the Innova Group was currently a focal point in the industry. How could they overlook reporting on it?If they could uncover some explosive information, such as an illegitimate child, their standing as
