Elly understood that people rarely changed their fundamental nature, so she couldn't forgive Craig. Once something like this happened, it would likely repeat itself.The following day, Sylvia instructed her driver to wait at the hospital and notify her immediately if Irvin showed up. She wanted to avoid any interaction with him.After Elly picked up the boys from school, they both went to the hospital. The two women got along well, and Elly's bond with Sylvia seemed stronger than her bond with Eric.Eric wanted to get out of bed and take a walk, but Sylvia stopped him as soon as she saw him move a leg."What are you trying to do?" Sylvia glared at him. "Do you want to stay in the hospital longer?"Eric shook his head."Then just lie quietly in bed!" Sylvia said angrily.Eric was speechless. Why couldn't he even get out of bed? The pain from his wound had significantly subsided. It had already been a few days, yet he still couldn't move freely?Fortunately, a nurse arrived short
Irvin chatted with Eric until the afternoon, and this made Sylvia so angry that she returned to her family for dinner. The Williams family was confused by her sudden return."Why did you come back from the hospital, Sylvia? Who is taking care of Eric?" Amelia, her mother, asked.Sylvia's three elder brothers all looked at her, waiting for an explanation."Why is everyone looking at me?" Sylvia was at a loss for words."Of course, you are welcome to have a meal at home," Henry said. "But Eric is still in the hospital, and you should go back and take care of him."Sylvia's appetite diminished as she listened to her father's words, and the dishes on the table no longer seemed appetizing.Pouting, she replied, "Irvin is still at the hospital. I don't want to encounter him in this situation."As she spoke, she received a message from her chauffeur. Her third elder brother, Connor, leaned over to take a look."Alright, Irvin is gone. You can go back to the hospital now," Connor said.
Eric breathed a sigh of relief when he spotted Sylvia. After all, a woman like Jasmine was no match for Sylvia.On the other hand, Jasmine was momentarily stunned when she saw Sylvia again.Not her again!How did Eric end up getting involved with such a stunning woman?It was simply outrageous!However, Jasmine wasn't one to back down easily. Upon discovering that Eric's company had secured projects worth tens of millions, she had been searching all over the city for him. She had even spent hours waiting outside the rental house where Eric used to live but found nothing.Eventually, Jasmine found out about Innova Tech and learned from Andy that Eric was injured and hospitalized. That's why she rushed to the hospital immediately. After going through so much trouble, she wasn't about to give up easily. Reconciling with Eric meant living a life of luxury in the future."Why is it you again!?" Jasmine frowned, clearly displeased with Sylvia's presence.Little did she know that Sylv
However, Sylvia remained indifferent, unaffected by the situation unfolding before her. The police arrived shortly, displaying their efficiency."Who called the police?" asked the officer, curious about the reason for their presence.Jasmine hurried over to the officer, her face filled with anger, and pointed at Sylvia."Officer! It's her! Look at my face!" Jasmine gritted her teeth. "She's the one who hit me! Arrest her immediately! I won't settle this privately anymore!"Jasmine no longer cared about the money. She wanted Sylvia to face legal consequences.The officer furrowed his brow and turned his attention to Sylvia."Why did you resort to violence?" he inquired.Sylvia smiled and replied, "Good question. Why did I resort to violence? My husband is hospitalized, and she barged in, harassing him. How could I not defend him?"The officer's frown deepened as he looked between Sylvia and Jasmine."Is that what happened?" he asked, seeking confirmation."Yes!" Jasmine protes
Jasmine's actions left Eric speechless, as he no longer had any feelings for her. A broken heart could not be easily repaired. Thankfully, Eric had been keeping busy and living a fulfilling life during this time. It seemed that Jasmine's affair and their breakup did not affect him much.Perhaps he had grown indifferent.Elly's appearance was becoming more refined. Apart from a slightly bulky figure, there was nothing inappropriate about her. The Johnson siblings had similar experiences but led different lives.In the following days, Eric gradually started to recover. Sylvia was devoted and responsible, staying overnight at the hospital to take care of him. This touched Eric deeply.Despite being aloof and a stickler for cleanliness, Sylvia persisted in caring for him. This gave Eric a new understanding of Sylvia's character.Irvin visited daily, bringing a bunch of supplements each time.Since Eric couldn't consume them all, he asked Elly to take them home and give them to their
Although Craig lacked money, he continued to accompany Jocelyn to the company every day without any changes. Lying on the bed, Eric felt puzzled. He had noticed something unusual about Sylvia in the past few days. Whenever Irvin came, she would always be absent. If it was just a coincidence, it seemed to happen too often.As an employee of Williams Corp., it didn't make sense for her to avoid meeting Irvin because of this. After all, she was only a mid-level manager in the company. It shouldn't be a disadvantage for her to know Irvin. "Your wife isn't here again?" Irvin wondered when he arrived in the evening. Why couldn't he meet her every time he came?He even started to doubt whether Eric's wife actually existed. Eric smiled wryly and replied, "She just went out." Irvin nodded and said, "Eric, is she purposely avoiding me? Could it be that she knows me!?" It was a casual remark, but surprisingly, he hit the mark. Eric smiled and said, "I don't think so. She's just a
"Why is it that you always have something to do whenever Big Bro comes around?" Eric couldn't help but voice his doubts. The coincidences seemed too uncanny.Sylvia had already prepared an explanation. "Irvin Sonnex is the CEO of Sonnex Corp., and I'm a mid-level manager at Williams Corp. It's best for us not to meet to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."Her explanation somehow convinced Eric. "You don't want to meet Big Bro, but he has considered a lot on your behalf. He asked me to ask you if you're willing to join Sonnex Corp. If you are, he will arrange a high-level position for you."Sylvia pursed her lips and stared at Eric. "You... I don't know whether to call you lucky or unfortunate.""You're unfortunate because you've been in a relationship for almost years and have only held hands. You're lucky because you've become sworn brothers with Irvin, and he really treats you as a brother."From what I know, you are the next person Irvin treats so well apart from his family m
Was Sylvia using Eric?Sylvia didn't want their relationship to end like this. The best outcome would be a peaceful breakup.Eric sighed and remained silent. If Sylvia felt that way, he wouldn't go to Irvin. After all, Sylvia didn't even know how many benefits she could gain from this.Sylvia was torn. Should she rely on Eric or be honest with him about her identity now?After reconsidering, Sylvia dismissed her thoughts.Eric was slowly recovering, and it would only cause more trouble if he got agitated and reopened his wound. Once Eric fell asleep, Sylvia took out her phone and sent a message in the Williams family group chat.Sylvia: [Is every one asleep?]She needed to discuss this matter with her family and couldn't make up her mind.Soon, someone replied to her message.Connor and Henry were still awake.Sylvia pursed her lips and wrote everything Eric had said earlier in the group chat.After a moment of silence, Sylvester replied.Sylvester: [It seems that if Eric s
