Chapter 1048
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

The man was sent flying several meters back by Eric's force.Anxiously, Seth stepped forward and implored, "Mr. Johnson, let's talk civilly! Please refrain from resorting to violence!"Aware of Eric's formidable nature, Seth understood he was not to be taken lightly. Despite Leopard's assistance, Seth knew these allies hailed from the underworld, a place known for its less-than-savory characters.In Seth's perception, those associated with the underworld rarely engaged in virtuous deeds and tended to resort to violence at the slightest disagreement. However, violence didn't always make sense.Eric chuckled and replied, "Mr. Gurth, don't worry. This person needs a lesson. Take Jayden aside, or go home if necessary."Seth promptly moved Jayden away, finally uncovering the details of the incident.While playing outside, Jayden had been struck by a cyclist at an excessive speed, leading to a fall that accidentally damaged a BMW parked nearby. The BMW owner seized Jayden without utter

The man stood in shock as the brand-new BMW transformed into a pile of scrap in less than five minutes."What, does having money make you arrogant?! Do you think you can do whatever you want?!" he snarled.Sylvia smiled, retorting, "Sorry, but having money does allow you to do whatever you want, including being arrogant."Weren't you quite arrogant when I wasn't here? Now, show me how arrogant you can be!"The man became frightened. He could sense that Sylvia wasn't someone to mess with, especially after Matthew's punch had nearly wrecked the car's suspension.Believing Sylvia was connected to the underworld, he dared not provoke her. He was ready to take the money and leave. However, when he tried to depart..."Hold on!" Sylvia blocked his path. "We haven't settled our accounts yet!"The man swallowed hard and stammered, "What… What do you mean?"Sylvia sneered. "You slapped the child, leaving marks on his face and blood at the corner of his mouth."The man's heart sank. He p

Vince and Matthew handled the rest, while Sylvia and Eric stayed out of it.Eric drove their car over, and everyone could see that the BMW was indeed much inferior to the car Sylvia was sitting in.After bidding farewell to her classmates, Sylvia asked Eric to drive away.Glancing at Sylvia, Eric asked, "Honey, you weren't like this before. Why so...""So arrogant, right?" Sylvia smiled and said. Seeing Eric nod, she continued. "That guy was too much. You can't reason with such people. You have to show them who the boss is."I did this to suppress his arrogance and because it's not appropriate for you to intervene in such matters."Sylvia's intervention was not without reason. In fact, their identities were quite sensitive. Eric's identity was even more sensitive, so letting Sylvia handle it was much more appropriate.Before they returned home, Vince called. The matter had been settled, and the compensation had been paid. The police at the scene had charged Matthew and Vince wit

The advantage of news dissemination lay in its speed, allowing exposure of certain unsavory activities online to pursue justice.However, the drawback was the ease with which public opinion could be manipulated. Some news outlets selectively used snippets of information or images, distorting the content. The true events, along with their causes and consequences, were seldom explored by internet users.Additionally, some individuals on the internet tended to criticize others, even though many of them were relatively unknown.Eric paid little attention to online occurrences, focusing on delivering a lecture to the students before heading back to Salt City.The establishment of the holistic medicine college by senior physicians didn't aim to select talented individuals from this group of students.These students were already 18 or 19 years old, past the prime time for learning holistic medicine. Most holistic physicians commenced training at a young age, around five or six years old.
