Kenneth felt intense jealousy in his heart. Eric already had a wife, yet a woman like Jessica still pursued him.He was seething with anger! Why should Eric receive such treatment while he had to impersonate him? He even considered taking a bold step and pursuing Jessica, but he didn't dare.Kenneth shook off Jessica's hand and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm still very busy."Afterward, he quickly left, fearing his cover might be blown if he stayed any longer.As he exited the villa, he and Chase left in a rush.Chase took a look at Kenneth and noticed the profuse sweat on his face, a clear sign of extreme nervousness. He said, "I just checked. The woman who entered the villa is Jessica Watson, the heiress of the Watson family. I've heard she's interested in Eric."Kenneth nodded. He had already noticed it while inside the villa.Chase continued. "You mustn't get involved with this woman. It's best to keep your distance. Do you understand?""I understand," Kenneth said impatiently.
Williams Corp. and Sonnex Corp. were the pioneers in initiating these changes. Andy had also deployed a team to expand the market by advertising on television, the Internet, newspapers, and billboards across the region. Once the product was finalized, the Innova Group's R&D team moved on to developing the next device. Only by establishing a complete product chain could the Innova Group create more room for growth.Amid his busy schedule, Andy never forgot to take the boys to school in the mornings and spend time with them on weekends.Meanwhile, Eric was heavily occupied managing the launch of the Innova Group's new project, with a strong focus on the core equipment, which demanded his attention.Neither of them had visited the company or the research base.Sylvia attended to Eric's daily needs. This was a straightforward task for her, from preparing breakfast to dinner—everything was taken care of.-In the afternoon, Sylvia arranged a table with a spread of delectable dishes
The sun streamed into the room, and Sylvia lazily stretched. Eric was nowhere to be found, which meant he was likely busy again. She intended to freshen up before making breakfast, but Eric was already busy preparing it when she emerged from the room.Sylvia was confused. "Aren't you busy today?"Eric smiled. "There's not much to do. We can't finish everything quickly. After breakfast, let's visit Mom, Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma."Sylvia had almost forgotten that Eric was a skilled holistic physician."Okay!" Sylvia replied with a smile.These busy days had caused Eric to neglect life. Last night, he had realized that despite his hectic schedule, he should make time for Sylvia and his family. Perhaps it was time for him to delegate his coding responsibilities to the rest of his team.After Sylvia freshened up, breakfast was already on the table.Taking a bite, Sylvia said, "No matter how hard I try, your breakfast always tastes the best."Breakfast was simple, consisting of milk
The elderly couple were in good health, which was fortunate considering their age.After Eric finished checking the elderly couple, Connor approached. "Eric, help me check my pulse too. I've been taking my medication on time and coming home in the evenings consistently."Eric smiled and checked Connor's pulse. After a moment, he reassured him, "It's not a significant issue. It's mostly healed.""Mostly? It's not fully cured?" Connor grew anxious. "Eric, please help me think of a solution! It has to be completely cured. What if my future wife complains I'm no good!"Eric was rendered speechless."Dad said to wait until you get married, but don't worry. I have a way to make you feel better," he replied.Connor sighed. "It seems I can't do without a wife anymore."While they chatted, Brook hurried downstairs.Amelia asked, "Honey, what's the rush? Where are you going?"Only then did Brook notice that Eric and Sylvia had arrived. He quickly walked over. "Mom, something has come up
Tiger took precautions because he was worried about the safety of his people. If the attackers were bold enough to eliminate Roland's forces overnight, they might also have the audacity to target them in Salt City. If Roland couldn't withstand them, then Tiger's men probably wouldn't be able to either.Fortunately, the Salt City faction was slightly stronger in martial arts compared to Roland's group.Eric stepped forward to examine Roland and Valerie. He reassured, "Ms. Valerie is alright, just a bit shaken. Mr. Draco has internal injuries that need time to heal."Roland was surprised by Eric's skills. Although he was curious, it wasn't appropriate to ask personal questions about it.Eric continued. "Mr. Draco, have you encountered them before? How would you describe their martial arts skills? Can you discern their techniques?"Roland shook his head. "Their techniques were varied and sophisticated, and all of them were highly skilled, at least better than the top fighters of the
This situation didn't just involve Tiger—it also concerned Brook."Dortmund City is in trouble. There's a man named Roland Draco there with a status similar to Tiger's. A group of powerful individuals suddenly appeared in Dortmund City yesterday. If Roland and his daughter hadn't escaped quickly, they might not have survived," Brook explained."They've fled to Salt City, and we've just arranged for them to settle down. Now, our concern is whether those people will suddenly come to Salt City."Brook's description was clear, but the dangers were unimaginable.The night was filled with peril, where one misstep could lead to catastrophe.Hearing Brook's account, Henry furrowed his brow. He came from an era where he knew how ruthless and treacherous these underworld figures could be. The situation in the Salt City underworld was currently calm, thanks to Tiger's control. But if someone else took charge, Henry would be worried.Furthermore, the people targeting Roland might have additi
The intruder acted swiftly, clutching the bag in one hand and striking with the other. David's subordinates were mostly low-level thugs, no match for this seemingly skilled individual.Amid a series of loud thuds, David struggled to see clearly, but his men had all been taken down.Startled, David stammered in fear, "W-Who are you?"The stranger didn't reply, instead slowly closing in on David.David's heart raced as he looked up, feeling overwhelmed. The intruder towered over him, casting a shadow on David."A small-time player from Salt City's underworld," the man said, eyeing David's balding head.Terrified, David realized this intruder had taken down his men without a word and now observed him with a menacing look. He tried to remember if he had crossed paths with this person before."S-Sir…" David's lips quivered as he continued. "H-Have I done something to upset you?""No, you haven't," the man replied flatly and took a seat in David's chair."Sir—" David began to speak,
The man left, and Gary approached David, keeping his eyes on the table where the bag of money still sat.Gary asked, "What does that man want? Should we inform Mr. Kirk—"Before Gary could finish his question, David fiercely slapped him."Are you an idiot?" David coldly replied, "He's right! I can't stay a small fry, and neither can you! Whatever his intentions, he's here to help us. Why wouldn't we take the money?"Hearing this, Gary nervously rubbed his hands together. He glanced at the several people behind him who were still in pain. "David, what if they... snitch?"If this matter reached Tiger, neither David nor Gary would escape the consequences. They both feared Tiger's methods.David shook his head. He knew his subordinates well—even if they tried to inform Tiger, they wouldn't get the chance.David lit a cigarette and wrestled with the decision. The man's offer was tempting: money, praise, and a glimpse of the future. To say he wasn't tempted would be a lie. However, he
