"We can partition this room and make it into a nursery since it's closer to our room. I plan to set up the children's room in another space. This way, when the child grows up and our parents are here, everyone will have their own private space," Sylvia suggested. She was already contemplating the next few years, perhaps a decade or more, of their lives. Regarding their living space, she believed their current large single-floor apartment was sufficient. There was no need to invest in a villa or manor, as such expansive spaces might feel empty with their small family. However, she envisioned such a residence in 20 or 30 years if they were blessed with more children. Eric attentively followed Sylvia's plans for every aspect of their life. He could sense Sylvia's profound excitement for the child in her womb and the future of their entire family.Comparing her current state to before pregnancy, Sylvia had undergone a complete transformation. Even Eric could not help but marvel at h

Andy came out after washing his hands and sighed. "But I really have come across some problems recently. Jacob has a new girlfriend now and asks me for money every day. I'm truly speechless.""Well, there's not much you can do. You were the one who sent him to prison for a year, and now he's having trouble finding a job. Plus, your parents really want him to get married soon. If you don't help him financially, I don't know what they will say when they call."Elly was well aware of Andy's family situation. Even though Jacob had a college degree, he did not put his knowledge to good use. Instead, he consistently relied on Andy for money, especially when indulging in a lavish lifestyle after his release from prison.If Andy declined to provide money, his mother would call within two minutes. Despite Andy explaining that he could not support Jacob indefinitely and that Jacob needed to become independent, his mother insisted he had to help because they could not afford to support Jacob d

The next morning, Damon arrived at the Innova Group earlier than other employees. He was diligent and responsible. He knew all the employees in the company and could even call them by name.Around 8:00 a.m., Andy arrived, and Damon was leisurely smoking a cigarette, enjoying a pleasant moment.Andy approached Damon after he had parked his car. "Mr. Parker, can I have a minute with you?""Sure. What's the matter, Mr. Bikman?" Damon asked, feeling a bit surprised."Well, it's nothing important." Andy sat down and said, "You're about 59 years old this year, right? In a few months, you'll be eligible for retirement."Damon understood the intention behind the conversation. He exhaled a puff of smoke and calmly said, "Yeah, time waits for no one. In the past, I used to work on construction sites to support my family. Who would have thought that I could still find such a good job at this age? I'm old, and I've worked hard for most of my life. Now it's time to enjoy a peaceful life."To

Jacob felt embarrassed. He scratched his head and asked, "So what am I going to do then?"Andy saw the opportunity and smiled. "You're going to start from the bottom. How about starting as a security guard at the entrance? I think that position suits you well!""What?!" Jacob was taken aback. "You want me to become a security guard in this suit? It costs me nearly 3,000 dollars!" Andy shook his head and said, "I gave you 5,000 dollars yesterday, and you spent 3,000 on clothes? Anyway, this is your only option. Take it or leave it." He thought his brother was beyond help. Considering careful budgeting and financial planning, 5,000 dollars should be enough to cover his expenses for a month or at least half a month."I…" Jacob sighed. "How much is the salary? I'm your brother. You can't just give me a measly 2,000 a month, right? I've spent so many years in college!"Andy glanced at him and said, "After deducting social security, you'll receive around 5,000 per month. All in all,

Jacob finally started his new job. He changed out of his expensive suit and put on the security guard uniform.In reality, a monthly salary of 5,000 dollars was considered decent in Salt City. After Eric parked his car, he waited at the entrance with Andy and observed Jacob for a while. Seeing that Jacob did not cause any trouble, they entered the company.Damon had told Jacob a lot of things. He emphasized the importance of staying vigilant, recognizing high-ranking members of the Innova Group, and being aware of the management and staff.He also told Jacob that he should not let outsiders in unless there was prior notice from the executives. Moreover, he also told Jacob to memorize the names and faces of the representatives from prominent companies who frequently visited the Innova Group.After finishing the briefing, Damon looked at Jacob and said, "I heard you graduated from college. With your young age and good memory, you should be smart enough to understand the rest, right

By the time Jacob finished his meal, it was time for him to clock off. At the entrance, Jacob asked, "Andy, can you give me a ride? I've rented a place here in Salt City.""Sure, hop in," Andy said.As Jacob got into the car, they noticed Eric passing by in his car. Jacob could not help but express his envy and asked, "Andy, why don't you get one of those tall off-road vehicles? It would be so cool!"He knew that Andy's car was provided by the company. He was contemplating whether to ask Andy to get a car for him as well. After all, the company would be covering the vehicle's expenses. He did not have to spend a penny on it. "An off-road vehicle? Eric bought it with his own money. The company only supplies sedans for us. I've heard that his car, including all the modifications, cost thousands of dollars. I don't have that kind of extra money!"Andy was taken aback when he heard that. Spending thousands of dollars on a car was beyond his imagination. With his current income, it wa

The woman was called Ava Bennett. Jacob knew he was already busted, so he told her everything. When she heard that Andy was the CEO of the Innova Group, her eyes glowed.She was stunning, and Jacob had fallen head over heels for her. Otherwise, he would not have been asking for so much money from Andy. However, Ava was calculative. She always had Jacob take her out for a meal, even if she knew that he did not have much money. In her view, men should be the ones covering the meal expenses.When they were having a meal together, Ava said, "I didn't know that your brother is so rich. You graduated with a bachelor's degree, so he must have arranged a good job for you in his company, like a position in the Purchasing Department where you have a say."Jacob felt awkward. Purchasing Department? He worked as a security guard and did not know if a Security Department existed. He scratched his head and said, "Well, it indeed is an easy job, but there aren't many perks. According to my senio

Jacob could have millions of dollars with shares in the company!Meanwhile, Ava also issued an ultimatum. "Anyway, I can only wait for you for a year. If things are not done within a year, we will go our separate ways. I am in the prime of my life and don't want to waste a lot of time on you. There are plenty of people chasing after me." Jacob nodded. He felt that Ava's words made sense. He thought to communicate with Andy first, and if that didn't work, then he would resort to drastic measures. Anyway, he felt that Andy was under their control.-Jacob called Andy before 8:00 a.m. and asked when he would be at the company. Andy was busy taking Cody and Max to school. Fortunately, they were now attending the same primary school, which saved a lot of time.When Andy said he would arrive at the company in a while, Jacob couldn't wait. Seeing a department supervisor arrive, he immediately stopped him."Mr. Welch, can I ask you something?" Finny Welch realized it was Jacob, so h
