Roco was consumed with lust. His hand moved uncontrollably toward Lora's buttocks.In the split second their touch met, Lora suddenly screamed and dodged, "Pervert! What are you doing?!"Fury coursed through her! Her face turned ashen! Growing up, besides her father spanking her buttocks when she was a child, no man had ever dared to touch her like this!Lora was disgusted by the scene, and even Jacob felt nauseated."Ugh!" Jacob spat, "Where did this idiot come from? You're dead meat!"Lora burst into tears.At that moment, Eric arrived, and Jacob hurriedly approached him. "Mr. Johnson, that bastard is at it again. Not only did he come, but he also touched Ms. Kensington's buttocks!"He found Roco utterly repulsive. Couldn't he just spend some money at a club? It wouldn't matter what he did in a private room, but why grope someone in public? Was he asking for trouble?Seeing Eric, Lora cried vehemently. She had never experienced such injustice before. Disregarding the onlooker
As expected, Roco was taken away again. He left, cursing vehemently, visibly upset! He had barely arrived at the Innova Group, and he was already being taken away by the police.If this news got back to the Hernandez family, they would surely laugh their heads off. Getting caught once was embarrassing enough, yet he managed to get caught twice. It's like falling down in the same place twice. How humiliating!"Just focus on your own business," Eric said. "Jacob, next time that guy shows up, let him in."Jacob left with a grin. He couldn't stand Roco, so dealing with him brought him joy."Are you okay?" Eric turned to Lora, only to realize she had been staring at him the whole time. This woman was infatuated.As an educated person, she knew violence was wrong. But the way Eric had slapped someone earlier was kind of... cool, kind of manly!'Why is this man so captivating to women?'Seeing Lora silent, Eric furrowed his brows slightly. "Are you alright?"Lora snapped out of it, sh
"Why do you say that?" Eric asked. He was genuinely curious about what Lora was thinking."It's quite obvious, isn't it? The textbook issue had been going on for years. Was anyone managing it? No one at all! And what about the milk problem? Was anyone managing it? Still, no one!" Lora said."There are too many complications involved. Even the principal, or certain bigshots in the education department, wouldn't dare to intervene in such matters. They might end up causing significant problems for themselves! "And you? You're fearless against authority, daring to act. You're truly someone doing good deeds. If someone gets killed by you, it's definitely because they deserved it, because they did something wrong."Eric chuckled at her words. Was this woman truly naive or just pretending? Could love really drive someone to such extremes? Despite having killed many people, wasn't she afraid?"I'm a dangerous person. Many want me dead. My parents are in the countryside, unlikely to be di
Roco was known for his extensive network of connections. Despite being apprehended twice, he emerged relatively unscathed, save for a few unsightly marks on his face.Meanwhile, he had skillfully reset his dislocated wrist and arm without external assistance. Even amidst the scandal he created by harassing women at the Innova Group, the Hernandez family posted a sizable bail for his release, ensuring his freedom."Fucking hell!" Roco muttered under his breath as he exited the police station. "Is there something dubious going on with this Innova Group? I've been apprehended twice… Might a third encounter be inevitable?"He couldn't shake off the feeling of being shadowed.Once caught could be deemed accidental, but twice? That suggested negligence on his part. Seating himself, he contemplated his actions. He concluded that his own impulsiveness had led him astray. If he hadn't flirted with the receptionist the first time, Eric wouldn't have attacked him. If he hadn't groped someone'
Upon his arrival at the Innova Group, Roco found the receptionist exceptionally beautiful. That was until he laid eyes on Lora. She was even more stunning than the receptionist.Now, seeing Sylvia, he couldn't help but think, 'Does the Innova Group really have such beauties? They outshine even the members of the Hernandez family!'She was akin to an angel that had descended to earth! Her face, slender waist, and round buttocks—perfection. How could such a beauty exist?As Sylvia entered, the receptionist hurriedly greeted, "Good day, Ms. Williams!"Sylvia nodded slightly without saying much.Roco snapped out of his trance. He couldn't believe that Sylvia was also a top executive at the Innova Group. Well, whether it was a CEO, vice president, or department manager, they were all addressed appropriately. Thinking that Sylvia might introduce him to Eric, Roco immediately put on a smile and approached her. "Hey, Ms. Williams, wait! Let me catch up with you!"Sylvia paused and turn
As Jacob arrived, Roco struggled to his feet. He was utterly dumbfounded. How could the elegant and imposing Sylvia be this formidable? He hadn't even had a chance to react!Jacob tapped his palm with a riot baton, eyeing Roco. "Kid, you've got some nerve. You dare lay a finger on the CEO? I've lived for so many years, but I've never seen someone with such audacity. What's wrong? Is your brain full of worms?"Roco seethed with frustration. He hadn't even processed what happened before he was knocked down to the ground.A kick with high heels really hurt. How come no one could mess with the Innova Group's people?Seeing Jacob about to act, he decided to leave, to get out of this troublesome place sooner. And he made a firm resolution. 'No more talking to women this afternoon, only confrontations with men! Yeah, avoiding women should solve everything, right? I'm quite smart!'Unfortunately, Jacob blocked his path. Swinging the riot baton, he said, "You're asking for trouble by assau
Jacob spat on his suit, then calmly wiped it clean with a tissue. 'This guy can really endure!' Finally, Roco caught sight of Eric driving out and hurried over. "Eric! Wait! Just wait a moment! Let's talk, let's have a good talk. There were some misunderstandings before!"Eric pulled the car over and got out.Seeing Sylvia also stepping out of the car, Roco couldn't help but freeze. 'How come this beautiful woman is with Eric?'He shook his head, adamant about not allowing himself to be enticed by another woman. 'These city women are scarier than tigers,' he thought."You're Eric," Roco said with a grin. "I guessed right, didn't I? I'm Roco Hernandez. We're practically cousins, being from the same generation in the Hernandez family!"Eric nodded. "You're not wrong. Sharing the same surname and generation in the Hernandez family, it's fair to call us cousins."Roco felt at ease with this acknowledgment. It appeared that the people of the Hernandez family were reasonable, open to
In King City.These days, Julius grew increasingly uneasy. The sudden appearance of an envoy from the Hernandez family was not something he could easily dismiss. It was time to seek Lionel McClain's counsel on the matter of the aristocratic families."Concerning the aristocratic families?" Lionel appeared knowledgeable. "Have you incurred their displeasure?"Julius shook his head. "I've had no dealings with them. However, a few days back, someone claiming to be from the Hernandez family visited my home. They spoke accurately about our progenitor."It seems they intend to absorb ours."Lionel nodded thoughtfully. "I hadn't anticipated this. The ties between your Hernandez family and the aristocrats run deeper than I imagined."While time had obscured much history, Lionel knew that the Hernandezes arrived later compared to the McClains. Over time, they rose to prominence in King City, eventually becoming one of its top-tier families.Yet, Lionel hadn't realized that the Hernandez
