Gritting her teeth in resentment, Delilah looked at the two police officers and said, "Officers, are you sure? Weren't you constantly searching for him the past few days? Why aren't you pursuing him anymore?"The police officer chuckled and replied, "Yes, I'm certain. The warrant against him was revoked a few days ago. He's no longer a wanted fugitive, and there's no so-called reward."Delilah was stunned.The officers didn't say much and left after informing Delilah that Eric was no longer wanted.Sylvia took a bite of the carrot and asked, "Eric, why were the police at Delilah's house?"Eric glanced at the two police officers leaving in their car. "Who cares? What they do has nothing to do with us anyway."He had heard about the incident of Delilah and Richard throwing cow dung. It was quite ridiculous. Even though they were close relatives, they always found ways to make things difficult for him.-In the afternoon, Hank and his wife also came for lunch."This is great!" Ha
The reason for agreeing to meet Jasmine was that they had been in a relationship for nearly nine years.In the office, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward. Jasmine occasionally glanced at Eric. In her heart, she wondered if Sylvia's position would have been hers if she had not had not cheated on Eric and dumped him two years ago.However, she had no idea that Sylvia was the Williams heiress, let alone that Eric and Sylvia were high school classmates.Jasmine's face showed signs of hardships during this time."So, what's the matter? Why did you look for me?" Eric asked.Sylvia also stared at Jasmine. She knew why Eric had called her over. Neither of them were the type to cling to grudges, and they had forgiven Jasmine after so long had passed.In Sylvia's view, it seemed unlikely that Eric would rekindle a past relationship that had yielded no results for nine years."Well, I..." Jasmine bit her lip. "I want to borrow some money from you. Eric, you know my situation. I don't have
Eric and Sylvia resumed their normal lives. Regarding the matter with Jasmine, after borrowing money from them, she stopped bothering Eric and Sylvia.One day, Pierce called, asking Eric and Sylvia to go to King City. The issue involving Dante had officially concluded. Following Eric's altercation with him at the Montgomery residence, Dante was incapacitated. Even if he recovered, his martial prowess was gone.While not sentenced to death, Dante would spend the rest of his life in prison."Do I get a reward too?" Sylvia asked, pleasantly surprised that the Combat Department would acknowledge her.Eric smiled. "Why not? You're the reason Ruth, Big Boss, and I are here. Your contributions are indispensable. We admire your courage and determination. Even when Big Boss was captured and Ruth and I fled to Phoenix City, you still had the guts to stand up to Dante. So, of course, you're getting a reward."Sylvia played a truly vital role in this event. After receiving various items from
Pierce recognized the impracticality of applying the same rules to Eric as the established members, leading him to grant Eric special privileges.Eric would join the mission only during significant Combat Department operations requiring his combat prowess. The rest of the time, Eric had the flexibility to arrange his schedule as he wished.The privileges were substantial, and Pierce knew that typical missions might not make the best use of Eric's extraordinary skills.-Back home, Sylvia carefully observed Eric and exclaimed, "You look really good in this outfit! Our family has produced an extraordinary figure!"She hadn't expected Eric to reach the current level of success. She still remembered when he first contacted her—he had been struggling with the pressure of 30,000 dollars. Reality proved that she had not misjudged him or chosen the wrong person.Eric smiled. "Don't flatter me too much. Otherwise, I might become arrogant!"Faced with such power, Eric couldn't deny feelin
Sylvia wasted no time and bluntly stated, "The Innova Group owes its current success and growth to the unwavering dedication and support of everyone gathered here."In this declaration, she explicitly acknowledged the efforts of all attendees, extending her gratitude to even the janitors and security personnel.Notably, participants like Vince and Matthew, who were not part of the Innova Group, were also recognized for their involvement in the year-end conference.Sylvia continued. "Your tireless efforts and backing have been instrumental in the Innova Group's progress. When I assumed the role of CEO, I specified that the company wouldn't distribute dividends for the first five years."The initial employees who stayed with us still hold shares. While dividends can't be distributed, I assure you of fair treatment. Unfortunately, the three major investors in the Innova Group will experience a minor setback."The three significant investors were easily identifiable among the audience
Grace knew that Andy played a crucial role in the success of the Innova Group. Andy had the idea of establishing Innova Tech, and he was the driving force behind the company's expansion into the equipment industry. Without him and Eric, the Innova Group wouldn't be where it was today.Sylvia glanced at Sylvester and Keith. "Why not join in the fun, too?""Do we get a share, too?" Keith asked, surprised."Of course," Sylvia replied. "Everyone here today gets a share!"Upon hearing that, Sylvester chuckled and rolled up his sleeves. "Well then, let's go! Despite the saying that there's no such thing as a free lunch, who'd pass up the chance to seize such a fantastic opportunity and make a fortune?"They joined the crowd, and the money-grabbing event continued for hours.In the end, high-level executives like Michael, Andy, Sylvia, Eric, and investors like Grace, Henry, and Irvin symbolically took away 1,000 dollars each.When planning the event, Andy had thought ahead and invited
The arrival of Eric and Sylvia was a pleasant surprise to Seth. He was aware of their affluent backgrounds and did not anticipate them remembering him.-Seth choked up at Felicia's grave. "Darling, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have come to see you. They still remember you..."Being easy to please, Seth found satisfaction in Eric and Sylvia's visit to Felicia. Despite losing most of his family, he still had his grandson.After paying respects at the grave, they returned home.Seth cooked pig trotters, spare ribs, and steamed sausages from the neighbors. Once Eric and Sylvia finished their meal, they headed back to King City.It marked a new year for the Innova Group.On the first day back to work, Sylvia, Eric, and Andy stood at the entrance, the first to arrive.Early-bird employees were surprised to see them and wondered if the company had changed its working hours. Upon closer inspection, they realized the trio was distributing gifts for the new year.After handing out gifts, they
Westlake outshone Salt City in prosperity.Upon arrival, the group initially visited the project department and was then guided by its staff to the construction site.The Innova employees had commenced construction at the site according to the finalized plan. In addition to the basic wiring, crucial equipment had been gradually transported from Salt City and was getting ready to enter the site.High-ranking individuals such as Sylvia, Eric, and Andy rarely ventured into the field. However, this Westlake project held exceptional significance.Despite confirmed details and plans, Eric, as the CIO of the Innova Group, found it beneficial to inspect certain aspects.Post-inspection, they moved on to the employee dormitories. Since the Westlake project spanned the long term, the Innova construction personnel would be residing there.Sylvia was particularly concerned about the living environment for the employees and emphasized the importance of good meals and proper rest for the staff
