Chapter 1212
Andy had tried his best to keep it a secret from his family. Even when Colin and Lily called, Andy would say that Jacob was on a business trip, so he might not have time to answer the phone. He had not expected that Jacob would make a phone call home and spill everything once he started recovering a bit.Upon seeing Jacob severely injured and lying in bed, Lily almost fainted in distress. Although she knew that Jacob was not in mortal danger, she still could not help but feel sorry for him. In rural communities, it was a common practice for established families to show preference for their younger sons. In their view, they felt a responsibility to look out for Jacob, the younger sibling. However, it was a different case for Andy since he was the elder brother. They felt that he was capable, and since he was older, he should be able to care for himself. "Have they caught the culprit?" Colin asked.Andy nodded. "The police have caught the culprits. Currently, our plan is to make t

"Is our family really in such dire need of money?" Lily asked, "You're still young and own a company! As humans, we must live with dignity! Aren't you worried that people might mock you upon discovering that others have assaulted your brother?"Andy was rendered speechless.If sacrificing dignity could bring in 800,000 dollars, Andy was willing to let go of his pride. When one was financially strapped, what purpose did pride serve? Could it provide sustenance?Andy did not even want to argue anymore. Four people had four different viewpoints. Andy just wanted the money and was not concerned about how authorities handled the case. Colin preferred sending them to prison, while Lily wanted money and prison time.As for Jacob, he did not want money or to send them to prison. However, he did not dare to tell them anything. -In the afternoon, Elly picked up the two kids and came to the hospital. Jacob was staying in a high-end ward where food was provided, and there was a room for fa

Eric and Sylvia hurriedly rushed over from Rosewood Estate when they learned that Elly had fainted. "The doctor said she fainted because of hormonal changes," Andy said."Hormonal changes?" Eric frowned. "My sister's health has always been good. How could she experience hormonal changes?"Just when Andy was about to explain, Eric turned back to Elly and started checking on her. Suddenly, everything made sense to Eric. "I see. No wonder she's experiencing hormonal changes. She's pregnant." Andy was dumbfounded when he heard that Elly was pregnant. "Eric, should we prescribe some medication to protect the pregnancy?" Andy hastily suggested.Eric replied, "There's no need for that yet. Just let her rest well and ensure she doesn't face too much stress."However, after a moment of contemplation, he wrote a prescription. After all, Elly was no longer in her 20s, and it was better to be safe.Holding the prescription, Andy was ecstatic. Regardless of the gravity of his brother's s

Moreover, some of the parents might pass their unfulfilled dreams to their kids. Thus, kids were important to the parents.Lily was taken aback. In her memory, Jacob was the rebellious one, while Andy had always been the obedient sibling. She could not believe that he was shouting at her now. "You're shouting at me because of that jinx?!" Lily began. "Her kids aren't my grandchildren! I won't acknowledge her kids!""Mom, please stop," Andy said. "I love her, and that's all that matters. Even more importantly, she is pregnant. You can say whatever you want behind our backs, but if you keep saying those things in front of her, don't blame me…"He did not finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he wanted to say. His parents were stunned, and it seemed to them that Andy was serious this time. He could tolerate his parents' unreasonable behavior up to a certain point, but there were boundaries to his patience and understanding.-Andy took a day off the next day and went with Ell

"I don't really know what's going inside your head! I've never seen someone as idiotic as you!" Andy shouted.He could not believe that Jacob actually trusted that Ava would marry him. He was certain that Ava would turn away and ignore Jacob once she escaped punishment. He had seen ass-kissers, but none quite like Jacob. He had been nearly beaten to death, yet he wanted to forgive them because Ava said she wanted to marry him.Andy persisted in his own opinion. Whether Ava and her group went to prison or not did not matter as long as they gave the money. "I believe in Ava!" Jacob said.Andy glanced at Jacob and said, "Whether you believe in her or not is your business. I also have a family to support. Even though I'm your brother, you still owe me 150,000 dollars. You need to pay me back the money!"He had had enough of Jacob. If Jacob chose to believe in Ava, he could do nothing. Although he was Jacob's brother, Jacob was a grown man and had to bear the consequences of his act

Jacob had no intention of returning the money, and Andy chose not to confront the issue. He was busy managing the Innova Group and arranging his wedding with Elly. He wanted to provide a perfect ceremony, and it had to be done before Elly's bump became noticeable.Andy kept the guest list small. He did not invite relatives from the Bikmans but invited quite a lot of employees from the Innova Group, Williams Corp., and Sonnex Corp. "When are you two going to get your wedding done?" Pierce asked.Even though Eric and Sylvia had been registered for several years and were about to have a child, they had not held a wedding yet.Sylvia smiled. "There's no rush for now. Everyone has been quite busy recently." She felt that Eric was not ready yet.Pierce nodded. "If you can't find the time, let the Combat Department arrange it. They can organize a special wedding for you." Eric was a Lieutenant General, and Sylvia was considered part of the Combat Department, so they were entitled to
Chapter 1218
Pierce visited Salt City not only to attend Andy's wedding but also to explore the possibility of the Innova Group venturing into certain areas.Although there were domestic military-industrial enterprises, the costs were too high, the technological capabilities were limited, and the process of updates and upgrades was exceptionally slow.Products from a decade ago were still in use today. Although they emphasized that those devices were stable and reliable, why not pursue advancement if they had the capability? Eric was not well-versed in the production of military-grade products. However, he understood that military-grade electronics might not always be the most cutting-edge but were undoubtedly the most reliable. Civilian and military applications were entirely different. If the Innova Group were to take on this challenge, it could be considered crossing into another industry."Are you planning to entrust this business to the Innova Group?" Eric asked cautiously.He hesitated
Chapter 1219
If Eric were to utilize his authority and connections, he could undoubtedly secure substantial orders for the Innova Group. The domestic market alone could bring a lot of profit to the Innova Group. However, Eric had refrained from doing so as he did not want the thing that Sylvia mentioned from happening.While initially presenting as a device manufacturer, the Innova Group had progressively transitioned to becoming a communication solution provider in recent years. After all, the production of devices was bound to reach a saturation point sooner or later, but solutions were always a valuable and huge market.Pierce chuckled. "It's all for the sake of information security. The Innova Group's technology and devices have been market-tested. In fact, the military has tested your equipment, and the testing team provided high praise. As for your concern, it's an even smaller issue. You just do what you have to do. You don't have to care about what other people say!" Sylvia glanced at E
