Eric stumbled and hit the floor with a heavy thud, caught off guard. Despite his martial arts practice, there was no way he could escape unscathed from such a move. Sylvia patted her hand and returned to her seat, convinced that the person before her was an imposter. After all, the real Eric would have easily countered her with his skills. "Honey, what was that for?" Eric stood up with a gloomy expression. "I'm the real Eric. Give me the passphrase!"It was only at that moment that he realized Kenneth had disrupted his life."Oh my!" Sylvia suddenly realized and stuck her tongue out. "So you're real?! I'm so sorry about that. You can throw me as well if you want."Sylvia was sure the current Eric was real because only he knew the passphrase.Eric was rendered speechless.While tidying her desk, Sylvia asked, "Why did you come back suddenly? Is everything in King City sorted?""More or less," Eric replied. "Things are stable in the holistic medicine community. I also took the
Eric and Sylvia's days were pretty ordinary. After enjoying the wealthy lifestyle of a prominent family for decades, Sylvia loved the authenticity of their current life.After dinner, the couple returned to their room to rest.In the middle of the night, the phone suddenly rang.Eric quickly answered when he saw it was a call from Brook. "What's the matter, Brook?" he asked."Eric!" Brook sounded urgent. "Tiger is in trouble."Eric snapped awake instantly. Sylvia, disturbed, asked, "Eric, what's going on?""Brook just called," Eric replied. "He said Tiger is in trouble, so I need to go check it out.""I'll go with you!" Sylvia insisted.-After quickly preparing, the couple rushed to Tiger's residence. The area around Tiger's home was cordoned off, indicating something serious had happened.Eric, Sylvia, and Brook happened to arrive at the same time. Upon receiving the call, Brook had first informed Eric and then rushed there from the William residence.Without wasting much
Tiger had established his own empire in Salt City through his fists. However, there was a looming possibility that he might not be able to rely on force in the future.Naturally, Tiger felt sad but swiftly adjusted his mindset. He nodded and said, "If force is not an option, then so be it. As long as we preserve our lives, it's sufficient."As he spoke, a group of people entered. The leader at the front wore a stern expression and said, "Mr. Kirbky, I apologize! We lost track of the person."Tiger frowned, slammed the table, and stood up, declaring, "Retrieve the surveillance footage. I want a clear image of his face sent to our team! I refuse to believe he can escape!"Tiger was seething with anger, having suffered a significant loss.The surveillance footage was promptly retrieved, and Eric swiftly identified the person on the screen."Chase?!" Eric exclaimed.Never had he expected that Chase would be the one attempting to assassinate Tiger. It suddenly made sense; Chase was o
Eric and Sylvia had breakfast in the morning, and then they headed to Elly's nail salon.Sylvia intended to take a two-day break to attend to some personal matters before returning to work. Only Elly was in the store, as Andy had already dropped off the boys at school before heading to work. He was truly dedicated."Why do you have time to come today?" Elly seemed surprised when she saw Eric and Sylvia. The couple hadn't visited the shop in several days."We've finished our work and came to see you, Elly," Sylvia said with a cheerful smile.From Elly's expression, it seemed like she hadn't been greatly affected by Colin and Lily.Sylvia continued. "Elly, Andy just moved into the new house, right? Why don't you stay with him?""This place is fine," Elly replied. "Besides, Andy worked so hard for it. I didn't contribute anything, so why should I move in?"She was never greedy, and even though Andy had suggested she move in, she declined. There were too many issues and differences
A few days later, Brook and Misty's wedding took place as planned. It was the first celebration of its kind in the Williams family for decades since Henry and Amelia's wedding.Both families were well-known in Salt City, and they were a perfect match in terms of social status. The wedding was held at the Williams family estate."Eric," Irvin said, taking a deep drag on his cigarette. "If Misty ever faces any issues in the Williams family, you must support her!"Marrying off his daughter was a difficult decision for Irvin. Fortunately, Eric held some influence as a son-in-law of the Williams family."Don't worry, Big Bro," Eric reassured with a smile. "Brook won't dare mistreat her!"Irvin was relieved. Despite his unique background, Eric had always been treated well by the Williams family. Given the circumstances, they wouldn't dare mistreat Misty.The Williams family cherished Misty as their daughter-in-law. Brook and Misty's love was genuine, and they had the support of the Cel
However, trouble-seekers were always around.While Eric was conversing with Tiger, Sylvia headed into the room to offer assistance. As she left, some young members of the Williams family approached.Eric recognized their faces, but their introduction was recent.The leading young man, Dickson Williams, was of the same age as Eric, hailing from the northern branch of the Williams family. He had the most to say about Eric's presence. It was a family affair to him. Since Eric was a son-in-law of the Williams family, Dickson had a say in it.Dickson asked with a smirk, "I wonder, what's your role in Williams Corp.? Your presence... won't tarnish Williams Corp.'s image, will it?"Tiger raised an eyebrow, sensing that troublemakers had arrived. However, he stayed silent since this was a family matter and didn't want to meddle.Eric smiled. "I've never held a position at Williams Corp."This response baffled them. How could Eric not have a position at Williams Corp.? Little did they kn
Tiger burst into laughter. He was just around 50 years old, so it wouldn't be right to call him an old man.Suddenly, a young man standing next to Dickson was astonished and handed his phone to Dickson. With a single look, Dickson was rendered speechless.Considering the Innova Group's current recognition and reputation, a quick online search would provide a wealth of information.Dickson's face turned red. The information he saw indicated that Sylvia was the CEO of the Innova Group, and Eric, the CIO, was one of the founders.The Innova Group was well-known as a pioneering high-tech company, daring to challenge international industry giants and forging its path forward. Online praise for the Innova Group was remarkably high.Dickson felt ashamed for mocking the founder of a prominent high-tech company in the country, so he walked away.The Innova Group was by no means inferior to Williams Corp. Even though he didn't understand the Innova Group's sector, he knew its potential for
The wedding went well. After the big celebration, Brook and Misty began their honeymoon.Amelia expressed her concern to Sylvia and Eric, "You two should take a break from work and go on a vacation. Explore a bit!"Amelia was unaware Sylvia and Eric had already been on a honeymoon, although not to popular international destinations. Her main goal was to encourage them to have a baby sooner."Mom!" Sylvia replied, annoyed. "Why are you concerned about this? Our life remains the same no matter where we are. Besides, the Innova Group is very busy right now, and we can't just take time off!"Sylvia didn't value leisure and saw it as impractical. As long as a couple had a strong relationship, the location didn't matter.Amelia sighed, feeling that Sylvia and Eric were leading a rather peaceful life.Henry flicked some cigarette ash and continued. "Life should be peaceful. Besides, the Innova Group has just started, and there's a lot to be done. We can consider these other matters when
