Wilson said, "But the senior holistic physicians with profound medical skills are growing older. They are quite eccentric and aren't motivated by money, making it very challenging to persuade them."Nevertheless, I still believe that even the hardest stone can be cracked with sincerity. You can give it a try in King City!"Sylvia's hope was rekindled.After leaving Winston's place, Sylvia received a call from Seraphine. Grace had turned her attention to holistic medicine after all the experts she brought in failed them. She spent a fortune hiring many elderly holistic physicians, all in an effort to remove Sylvia's scars.This matter had caused quite a stir in King City, and outsiders even speculated that some important figure among the Montgomerys was seriously ill. Some even guessed that Grace, the capricious woman, was finally unable to endure and was dying.Finally, an elderly holistic physician in King City revealed that the Montgomerys were searching for someone to treat fac
All the employees happily headed home to celebrate New Year's, with non-urgent matters postponed until after the holiday.Andy would need to make new plans once the new year arrived.Innova Tech had recently been established and secured two significant contracts from Williams Corp. and Sonnex Corp. This stroke of luck had left them without predefined performance targets for the coming year, which was unrealistic to set.Andy and Eric each withdrew 100,000 dollars, leaving the remaining funds in the company's account. Andy anticipated this might not suffice for next year's operational expenses, so they decided to take it one step at a time.Despite Eric's infrequent visits to the company, he was aware of its situation. Next year, Innova Tech was determined not to cut corners in research and development. They needed to find a solution, perhaps by seeking investment from the Williams and Sonnexes.With the company closing for the holidays, Andy returned to his hometown. Henry asked E
Blake and Melinda had never ventured far from their home. With this year's stable economic situation, Eric and his family decided to take the elderly couple on a trip. Gavin arrived with his wife and child as they prepared to get into the car."Eric, are you going back to the city?" Gavin called.Eric nodded. "Yes. I have some matters to attend to, so I need to leave today."Seeing his nephew in Gavin's arms, Eric reached into his pocket, took out a 100-dollar bill, and handed it to the child.Gavin pinched the child's cheeks and said, "Say thank you to Uncle Eric.""Thank you, Uncle Eric," the child replied sweetly, and Eric nodded.Despite everything, Eric's nephew was still family. He may have had issues with Richard but not with the child. Gavin had even invited him to dinner when he was in Salt City. Of course, Eric and Gavin were unaware that this was all part of Lucas' plan to separate Eric from Sylvia. But that didn't matter anymore.Gavin continued to ask, "Eric, I want
Amelia left him speechless when she said, "Sylvester, since Sylvia and Eric are going to King City tomorrow, you should go with them. Don't miss this great opportunity!"Henry nodded, saying, "I agree. Our family has always been careful with money. We shouldn't let these chances slip by. Custom-made clothes like these don't come cheap."This delighted Seraphine—it was her plan all along. Fortunately, her future in-laws were cooperative, so Sylvester couldn't refuse.He was almost in tears. Seraphine wasn't his type, but she was too assertive. Her trip to Salt City was also at Grace's request to pick up Eric and Sylvia. As for Sylvester, it was her spontaneous idea to bring him along to King City to strengthen their relationship.-The next morning, they flew to King City with two bodyguards for Eric and Sylvia's safety."Aunt Grace is really determined!" Seraphine remarked, "The battle between the Montgomerys and the Hernandezes isn't over yet. Eric will definitely attract attent
During their conversation, the housekeeper helped Orion descend from upstairs.Orion had white hair and a long, white beard, making him seem quite old. However, his eyes were sharp and alert.Grace, sitting on the sofa, nodded to Orion. He returned the gesture before asking the housekeeper for some tea."Madam Montgomery," Orion began, taking a sip of his tea, "How did the task I gave you go?""Hol. Thornfield, rest assured, everything has been arranged. The land you wanted is now yours," Grace replied.This conversation piqued Eric's curiosity. Why would someone as renowned and respected as Orion need Grace to secure land for him? Could he not achieve anything with just a word?"Excellent," Orion said, sipping his tea again. He then turned his attention to Sylvia. "Madam Montgomery, I assume this young lady is the one you've been talking about?"Grace nodded, and Orion asked, "Please remove your veil and come closer. Let me see."Sylvia moved closer and sat on the couch.Orio
Orion possessed remarkable skills indeed. Sylvia's facial wounds displayed the symptoms he had described, appearing redder and more swollen than before. According to Orion, this was a normal reaction and nothing to worry about.After a brief rest, Orion went to a medicine cabinet and skillfully gathered some herbs. He handed them to Eric and said, "Take one set of these per week, dissolve them in plain water, and consume them in the morning. Gradually reduce the water each day."Eric accepted the medicine and asked, "Hol. Thornfield, is there a specific technique for the Blossom Needling? I noticed you applied pressure at different times and places. Is there a reason for that?"Initially, Eric believed he could easily learn the Blossom Needling technique with his photographic memory. However, he quickly realized it was not as simple as he had thought. The technique demanded precision and expertise beyond his initial assumption.Orion glanced at Eric and asked, "Have you studied acu
Eric had no idea that the thick book contained a lifetime's worth of Orion's thoughts, insights, and invaluable knowledge.Orion truly treasured talent. However, there was also a deep sense of regret in his eyes. For someone of Orion's caliber, finding an apprentice worthy of inheriting his knowledge was a rare occurrence, a matter of fate.When Eric asked about Blossom Needling, Orion noticed his thirst for knowledge. Moreover, Grace had shared Eric's story with him, and passionate individuals usually had respectable characters. Considering Eric's photographic memory, he might still acquire knowledge and contribute to preserving Orion's legacy.After they got into the car, Grace said, "Eric, start visiting Hol. Thornfield more often from now on. He has never married and has never taken on an apprentice before. Giving you a copy of his notes shows that he values you to some extent."If you were to receive a complete inheritance from Hol. Thornfield and become his apprentice, no one
Grace was briefly stunned but quickly regained her composure as a sizable group of Montgomerys awaited her.The Montgomerys were a distinguished aristocratic family, with Alexander Montgomery, Seraphine's father, as the family head.Grace held the second-highest rank in seniority, with the late family head having three more sons and a daughter. Undoubtedly, the family thrived.On their way to the estate, Grace instructed Eric and Sylvia to address Seraphine's father as "Uncle" and advised them not to worry about the opinions of the other family members.Sylvia gained a deeper appreciation for Grace's challenges upon learning about the Montgomerys' situation.Despite everyone's presence at the entrance, a hint of displeasure lingered on their faces. Alexander summoned them all as it was Sylvia and Eric's first visit to the Montgomerys.Alexander had already arranged an elaborate reception, perhaps out of a sense that the Montgomerys owed Grace a great deal.Grace only introduced
