It wasn't until the police took Roco away that he remembered his purpose for being in Salt City on business."Hey! They hit me too! Why aren't you arresting them? What's the point of just grabbing me?" he shouted, still in disbelief.Ultimately, he seemed to have suffered the worst of the beating. Both his hands were dislocated, and no one had mentioned anything about fixing them yet.The police officer sneered. "Kid, do you know where you are? They are Salt City's money-making machines! Do you dare mess with our Midas? Are you looking for trouble?"They were always ready to oblige the Innova Group.That was simply how society functioned.As Salt City's largest taxpayer and creator of thousands of jobs, the Innova Group was protected by the authorities. Going after them was akin to inviting trouble from Salt City's officials.Granting privileges to such a major corporation wasn't an issue.As long as the Innova Group avoided major offenses or significant losses, the Salt City a

Upon first glance, it was evident that Sylvia held the upper hand in terms of social status. Additionally, as the legitimate wife, there was simply no way Lora could compete against her.While Eric was treating Lora, Tobias asked Sylvia, "Which university did Ms. Williams graduate from?"Sylvia replied with a faint smile, "King City University."Tobias felt a pang of defeat—it seemed futile. His daughter couldn't even match Sylvia's educational background. He pondered whether Lora should pursue a doctoral degree or something similar, hoping she could excel in some aspect.He could see that Lora was genuinely enamored with Eric, displaying the same affection as the day before.The acupuncture session concluded swiftly, and Eric and Sylvia prepared to leave.Lena emerged from the kitchen, suggesting to Eric, "Why don't you have dinner before leaving? You've been working hard, and my cooking isn't half bad, you know."Though not very confident, Lena believed that with Eric's wealth

Bartholomew's attempt had failed, and Roco still had much to strive for.The next morning, around 10:00 a.m., Roco returned to the Innova Group. He reckoned that a company like Innova Group would likely be bustling with meetings in the morning and should start winding down by around 10:00 a.m.Jacob didn't stop him. He knew Roco wasn't one to trifle with—he was a heavy hitter, and if things got physical, it would mean months of recuperation.Still, Roco glared at Jacob. "Stop messing around! Once I take over the Innova Group, you're the first one I'll get rid of!"Jacob stuck out his tongue mockingly. "I'll be waiting! If you can't get rid of me, you're just a loser!"Roco was furious! Yet, at this moment, he didn't dare touch Jacob. It might alert Eric, and he'd undoubtedly receive another thrashing.He vividly remembered he had a mission today. No one was to provoke the Innova Group. 'Ha, even the receptionist at the front desk didn't flirt with me. I just need to see Eric and

Roco was consumed with lust. His hand moved uncontrollably toward Lora's buttocks.In the split second their touch met, Lora suddenly screamed and dodged, "Pervert! What are you doing?!"Fury coursed through her! Her face turned ashen! Growing up, besides her father spanking her buttocks when she was a child, no man had ever dared to touch her like this!Lora was disgusted by the scene, and even Jacob felt nauseated."Ugh!" Jacob spat, "Where did this idiot come from? You're dead meat!"Lora burst into tears.At that moment, Eric arrived, and Jacob hurriedly approached him. "Mr. Johnson, that bastard is at it again. Not only did he come, but he also touched Ms. Kensington's buttocks!"He found Roco utterly repulsive. Couldn't he just spend some money at a club? It wouldn't matter what he did in a private room, but why grope someone in public? Was he asking for trouble?Seeing Eric, Lora cried vehemently. She had never experienced such injustice before. Disregarding the onlooker

As expected, Roco was taken away again. He left, cursing vehemently, visibly upset! He had barely arrived at the Innova Group, and he was already being taken away by the police.If this news got back to the Hernandez family, they would surely laugh their heads off. Getting caught once was embarrassing enough, yet he managed to get caught twice. It's like falling down in the same place twice. How humiliating!"Just focus on your own business," Eric said. "Jacob, next time that guy shows up, let him in."Jacob left with a grin. He couldn't stand Roco, so dealing with him brought him joy."Are you okay?" Eric turned to Lora, only to realize she had been staring at him the whole time. This woman was infatuated.As an educated person, she knew violence was wrong. But the way Eric had slapped someone earlier was kind of... cool, kind of manly!'Why is this man so captivating to women?'Seeing Lora silent, Eric furrowed his brows slightly. "Are you alright?"Lora snapped out of it, sh

"Why do you say that?" Eric asked. He was genuinely curious about what Lora was thinking."It's quite obvious, isn't it? The textbook issue had been going on for years. Was anyone managing it? No one at all! And what about the milk problem? Was anyone managing it? Still, no one!" Lora said."There are too many complications involved. Even the principal, or certain bigshots in the education department, wouldn't dare to intervene in such matters. They might end up causing significant problems for themselves! "And you? You're fearless against authority, daring to act. You're truly someone doing good deeds. If someone gets killed by you, it's definitely because they deserved it, because they did something wrong."Eric chuckled at her words. Was this woman truly naive or just pretending? Could love really drive someone to such extremes? Despite having killed many people, wasn't she afraid?"I'm a dangerous person. Many want me dead. My parents are in the countryside, unlikely to be di

Roco was known for his extensive network of connections. Despite being apprehended twice, he emerged relatively unscathed, save for a few unsightly marks on his face.Meanwhile, he had skillfully reset his dislocated wrist and arm without external assistance. Even amidst the scandal he created by harassing women at the Innova Group, the Hernandez family posted a sizable bail for his release, ensuring his freedom."Fucking hell!" Roco muttered under his breath as he exited the police station. "Is there something dubious going on with this Innova Group? I've been apprehended twice… Might a third encounter be inevitable?"He couldn't shake off the feeling of being shadowed.Once caught could be deemed accidental, but twice? That suggested negligence on his part. Seating himself, he contemplated his actions. He concluded that his own impulsiveness had led him astray. If he hadn't flirted with the receptionist the first time, Eric wouldn't have attacked him. If he hadn't groped someone'
Chapter 1471
Upon his arrival at the Innova Group, Roco found the receptionist exceptionally beautiful. That was until he laid eyes on Lora. She was even more stunning than the receptionist.Now, seeing Sylvia, he couldn't help but think, 'Does the Innova Group really have such beauties? They outshine even the members of the Hernandez family!'She was akin to an angel that had descended to earth! Her face, slender waist, and round buttocks—perfection. How could such a beauty exist?As Sylvia entered, the receptionist hurriedly greeted, "Good day, Ms. Williams!"Sylvia nodded slightly without saying much.Roco snapped out of his trance. He couldn't believe that Sylvia was also a top executive at the Innova Group. Well, whether it was a CEO, vice president, or department manager, they were all addressed appropriately. Thinking that Sylvia might introduce him to Eric, Roco immediately put on a smile and approached her. "Hey, Ms. Williams, wait! Let me catch up with you!"Sylvia paused and turn
