Sylvia glanced at Eric. "Ah, speaking of which, he is also half your colleague, a professor at King City University! He insisted on treating me to a meal, so I reluctantly agreed."Eric's mouth twitched.Wasn't Sylvia the one who suggested coming to the cafeteria?Diego was stunned at the revelation.But he had never seen Eric on the university premises before.What puzzled him even more was that Sylvia used to be known for her aloofness in university. Not only had she been maintaining a cold demeanor toward male classmates, but even female classmates had been hesitant to approach her.How could she accept his invitation unless they were quite close?But even so, inviting such a beautiful woman to the cafeteria for a meal seemed... inappropriate.Thinking of that, Diego suggested, "The food in the cafeteria is just average. There's a seafood restaurant near the entrance that receives fresh seafood every day. How about we go there?""Let's skip that for today." Sylvia shook her

Eric couldn't shake off his curiosity. Sylvia's allure had attracted many admirers.Back in high school, Eric would often steal glances at Sylvia, and it was because of her that he ended up at Salt Province University. However, he couldn't help but feel the need to aim for a better university.Sylvia responded to Eric's musings with a confident smile. "Him? My admirers could line up from King City all the way to Phoenix City!"Eric raised an eyebrow and remarked, "I must be extremely lucky then. Thank you, Ms. Williams."Sylvia snorted coldly in response and turned her head away. "I don't want to talk to you anymore! This lady wants to take a nap now, so don't disturb me."Eric and Sylvia avoided napping together because Eric struggled to keep his hands to himself. After Sylvia went to rest, Matteo called. Upon learning Eric was in King City, he headed directly to Eric's residence."Mr. Johnson, how have you been lately?""Very well." Eric poured tea for Matteo and asked, "Wha

Sylvia woke up around 3:00 p.m. When she entered the living room and saw Eric standing there, she said, "You didn't take a nap? Did I scare you?"I was just joking with you, adding some fun in case you find life boring."Eric was rather speechless. After all the emotional turmoil, Sylvia was just trying to spice up their lives a bit?!Sylvia walked over, smiling. "So, were you scared? I saw a video online and decided to try it out!""You scared me! I had no idea what you were up to!"Sylvia laughed and noticed the case on the table. "What's this? I didn't see it when I came back."Eric cast a meaningful glance and said, "Why don't you open it?"Sylvia looked puzzled. She opened the case and was shocked to see the stunning necklace. "This... This gemstone is huge!""Take a good look." Eric grinned. "Matteo went through a lot of trouble to get it. Since he couldn't find anyone to give it to, he brought it here. It suits you perfectly."Women couldn't resist beautiful things, and

Meeting Sylvia again was a rare occurrence for Diego.After Diego arranged a gathering with several classmates in King City, he invited Sylvia as well."Being too beautiful isn't always a good thing," Sylvia humble-bragged.Eric smiled. "It's inevitable. That's your capital. You could easily live off your looks, yet you choose to work hard and manage the company. You're making life difficult for others."Although Eric was teasing her, Sylvia was undeniably beautiful. While the women he knew had their own characteristics, Sylvia outshined them all when it came to pure beauty.Sylvia casually tidied up, and then Eric drove her to the gathering."What are you going to do for dinner?" Sylvia asked Eric before entering the restaurant.Eric looked at Sylvia. "I'll just grab something nearby. You go ahead."Dining alone was not an issue. At worst, he could have a simple meal.Sylvia nodded and then entered the restaurant.Five men and two women had already arrived at the private roo

Sylvia appeared content with her marriage but left a distant impression on everyone. She seldom engaged in conversations with her male classmates and rarely exchanged words with her female counterparts.Over the years, however, Sylvia had undergone a transformation. Not only had her speech become more frequent compared to her university days, but she also no longer exuded the same aloofness.Nevertheless, when she announced her marriage, it caught everyone off guard, as hardly any of them had tied the knot.Some individuals in their circle had pursued higher education abroad, while others had enhanced their qualifications locally and succeeded, such as Diego, who became a young professor.Witnessing Sylvia's evident happiness, a female classmate couldn't resist asking, "Sylvia, what does your husband do? He must be remarkable, right?"Among their classmates were those with influential backgrounds and wealth. Some had previously expressed interest in Sylvia, only to face rejection.

The Innova Group had dealt a blow to the three major international manufacturers, prompting them to consider withdrawing from the domestic market. Without the need to maintain some semblance of competition, these manufacturers wouldn't have stood a chance domestically."Kyle, is the Innova Group really that formidable?" a female classmate asked."Formidable? That's an understatement!" Kyle Brundy replied."The Innova Group now dominates the domestic market, having lowered equipment prices from the three giants."If it weren't for the Innova Group, essential network equipment items would be priced at least 20% higher than they are now."A recent analysis of the Innova Group's assets revealed that, despite being established for just over three years, its assets are estimated to exceed tens of billions of dollars!"The domestic market is worth hundreds of billions of dollars! So, the group's valuation is bound to exceed hundreds of billions of dollars sooner or later, possibly withi

Diego felt disheartened. He had assumed he had a chance, but Sylvia was now married to a man with a face full of scars and seemed drawn to his outstanding qualities."Oh, by the way…" Diego recalled something and asked Sylvia, "Didn't your husband come tonight?"Sylvia smiled. "Of course he did. He dropped me off downstairs and went to find a place to eat by himself."The room fell silent.Diego sighed. "Your husband is really trusting!"He believed that he wouldn't let Sylvia attend such a small gathering alone if he were in Eric's shoes. Anyone with a bit of intelligence could see through their ulterior motives."Otherwise?" Sylvia said, "Even if we're spouses, we still have our own circles, right?"Everyone nodded."Sylvia is right," Kyle said. "Everyone has their own circles. We can't just confine our partners to our own circle."Meanwhile, downstairs, Eric ordered a simple meal and finished his dinner. Despite having a fortune now, his lifestyle demands weren't high, alig

Eric knew that Seth and Jayden lived nearby because there was an elementary school in the vicinity, making it convenient for Jayden to attend.However, the two were grappling with several challenges. Seth, being illiterate, couldn't assist Jayden with his homework. Consequently, Jayden had to stay at the school dorms on weekdays, leaving Seth alone at home.Jayden had been vocal about the subpar quality of the school cafeteria food, prompting Seth to take him out for dinner on Wednesdays.During their meal, Jayden remarked, "They serve vegetables and no meat. Some classmates have their parents pick them up, but I don't have parents. Grandpa is getting old. It's inconvenient for his knees to come daily, so he brings me to eat once a week."Hearing that, Eric felt a pang of sadness. Jayden had never seen his mother, and his father had passed away early. Felicia, who worked in King City, used to support the family's expenses. Despite Felicia's age making her unsuitable for work, Orion
