After confronting Charlie, Seraphine grabbed another beer bottle and turned to Marcus. "Do you also want to join in the fun?"Marcus recoiled in fear, glancing at Seraphine before hastily leaving with Charlie."Why did you hit them?" Sylvester questioned.Although Marcus and Charlie were annoying, resorting to violence seemed excessive."Marcus' aunt, Nera Calles, married Julius Hernandez. Rumor has it that he never touched her at all. Their marriage is merely a transaction."Back then, the Calles family was nothing more than a second-tier family in King City. They rose to first-rate status with the Hernandezes' assistance. Now that the Hernandezes are facing difficulties, it's the Montgomerys providing support. Aunt Grace wouldn't have led a difficult life if it weren't for the Calles."As for Charlie, did you know his second uncle wanted to marry Aunt Grace in the past? That jerk tried to take advantage of her and ended up losing his penis!"Sylvester nearly choked on his beer
Sylvester kept going, delivering a resounding slap to Charlie that sent the bandage covering his head flying.Meanwhile, Sylvia efficiently took down the group of people, dusting off her hands with a dissatisfied look."Not a single decent fighter among them," she remarked.Sylvester seized Charlie, shouting, "You, how dare you curse at my girlfriend?!"Seraphine was captivated. Initially, she was drawn to Sylvester's good looks, but his defense of her completely won her over.Charlie's mouth bled. Even with Sylvester holding back, it was too much for the playboy. The slap nearly knocked him unconscious, and he struggled to speak, spitting out a few teeth. Marcus trembled, afraid to utter a word."Sylvester, give him a few more slaps! He deserves a lesson!" Seraphine excitedly shouted.Seraphine had not seen Sylvester fight before. Although she acknowledged fighting was not commendable, she found him impressively cool.Sylvester was about to slap Charlie again, but the nightc
The Lynars were a prominent family in King City, though not as influential as the Montgomerys. The incident in the past had stirred up quite a commotion, but the Montgomerys had faced no consequences.Marcus and Charlie couldn't help but wonder why Oscar was afraid of Eric. After all, the Feynmans were one of the elite families in King City."Oscar, about that scar-faced man you mentioned, what is his background?" Marcus asked tentatively."Actually, he has a little connection with your family," Oscar said with a hint of amusement.Marcus was puzzled as he didn't know who Eric was.Oscar smiled. "Didn't your aunt marry Julius Hernandez? The scar-faced man is Julius' son, so your aunt is his stepmother."Marcus was stunned by the revelation.When Nera married Julius, it wasn't without purpose. The Hernandezes had orchestrated the marriage to put an end to Julius' pursuit of Grace. Both families were aware that Julius and Grace had a son, but his whereabouts remained unknown.The
In the morning, Eric and Sylvia left the Montgomerys quietly."Hmm? Where are they?" Grace wondered, noticing that Eric and Sylvia hadn't come for breakfast. "They don't usually sleep this late.""They left early in the morning. I saw them running quite fast. How are they supposed to take it if they have to eat so much every day?" Alexander explained.Meanwhile, the couple enjoyed breakfast at a local cafe."Ah!" Sylvia took a big sip of latte. "Finally, I've been craving these pastries!"Eric chuckled. Sylvia was indeed easy to please.While filling their stomachs, Eric's phone rang. It was from an unfamiliar number."Who's this?""Is this Eric Johnson?" the caller asked tentatively."Yes, it's me. May I ask who's calling?""It's really you, sir! Someone is trying to take over Hernandez Corp.! Can you come to the company?"Eric frowned, thinking, 'Someone trying to take over Hernandez Corp.? What's going on? Didn't they borrow money from the Montgomery Corp. yesterday?'"S
The two families' representatives had already taken their seats in the conference room.Shortly after, Julius arrived with his assistant.A middle-aged man stood up promptly and greeted Julius, "Brother-in-law, how have you been lately?"It was Andrew Calles, Nera's younger brother and the current CEO of the Calles Business Group.Julius remained silent while taking his seat in the main position. He glanced at them and said, "Gentlemen, what brings you to Hernandez Corp.?"He knew they came with ill intentions.Sitting across from Andrew was Curtis Lynar, the current head of the Lynar family. His younger brother, Tyler Lynar, was the one whose penis had been severed by Grace. Despite many years passing, the Lynars still held a second-tier status, never having the opportunity to seek revenge against Grace.Julius knew the two families had joined forces to take over Hernandez Corp.Curtis sighed and said, "Julius, the recent challenges your family is facing are truly lamentable.
"S-Sir!" Julius' assistant sprang to his feet, clearing a path for Eric and Sylvia.Eric nodded at the man in his 50s who had interrupted his breakfast.Eric took his seat, rubbed his ear, and asked, "How much did you say for the purchase of 51% of the shares? I didn't catch it clearly outside. Say it again."Andrew frowned. "Who are you? What do you have to do with Hernandez Corp.?" He felt uneasy seeing Eric's scarred face."Who am I?" Eric chuckled. "I am Eric Johnson."Andrew's expression changed abruptly. He never expected Julius and Grace's son to return, especially after causing a stir in King City not long ago, resulting in Javier's imprisonment. Additionally, he recognized Sylvia, the Innova Group's CEO and a real troublemaker."Gentlemen, 1 billion dollars isn't going to help Hernandez Corp. Go back before I lose my temper," Eric said indifferently.The two men had mixed feelings. After all, they were determined to take over Hernandez Corp."Instead of benefiting outs
Andrew and Curtis were hatching nefarious plans. After leaving Hernandez Corp., they headed straight to the Montgomerys.-Andrew grinned broadly. "Mr. Montgomery, how have you been lately?" Alexander remained indifferent. "Gentlemen, what brings you here?" He didn't anticipate their visit. After all, the Montgomerys had no dealings with the Calles and the Lynars.They took their seats, having already discussed their approach on the way there."Mr. Montgomery, since that incident, our families haven't interacted much. I believe our visit is bound to change the dynamics of our relationship."Over twenty years had passed since that incident. At that time, Alexander wasn't the head of the Montgomerys, but he knew what had happened."It's good that the Lynars have come to terms with it," Alexander said.Curtis nodded.As the conversation progressed, Curtis suddenly said, "Mr. Montgomery, considering that the Montgomerys and Hernandezes have never been on good terms, why did you
"Melvin, see the gentlemen off!" Alexander commanded, and the butler promptly entered.Alexander was well aware that Grace had lent the Hernandezes money since she had consulted with him. Despite the intricate ties between the two families, the Montgomerys never hesitated to extend help when the Hernandezes faced difficulties.Curtis and Andrew left indignantly. They had hoped to make a breakthrough through Alexander, yet they failed and received a scolding."Curtis, what should we do?" Andrew was at a loss.Curtis narrowed his eyes. "It's not the end yet. I'll call my sister."-At Hernandez Corp.Eric and Sylvia were preparing to leave."Why not stay a bit longer?" Julius' assistant suggested.Eric shook his head. "There's a lot we need to attend to. Give me a call if you encounter any issues."Eric knew that the Calles and Lynars wouldn't easily give up."Thank you!" The assistant escorted Eric and Sylvia out of Hernandez Corp.Since there was still time, they headed to
