Chapter 1691
When Eric and Sylvia left, Lora had not returned yet. The couple decided not to wait and headed out.Once they got into the car, Sylvia chuckled. "It’s really hard for a woman to take control of her destiny. She finally finds a boyfriend, and her family won’t allow it."She was well aware that Lora’s situation was likely doomed, with the odds heavily stacked against her.The kind of upbringing Lora had received meant she was destined to obey Tobias. Perhaps she might act out for a while, but she would eventually fall back in line.Eric nodded repeatedly. "Why did she have to choose a foreigner? Her father knows the history and understands our current situation. Letting his daughter marry a foreigner is out of the question. It’s practically killing him."He felt a twinge of regret. If Lora came back to seek his help, it would be another mess. It was very troublesome.But things didn’t turn out as Eric had imagined. To him, the nature or identity of Lora’s boyfriend didn’t matt

Feelings should be mutual. If Lora wasn't willing, then what was there to discuss? Jason certainly couldn't force anything, could he?Max held onto Eric's arm. "Uncle Eric, didn't Ms. Kensington say you were her best friend? Maybe you should pick me up tomorrow. If that big-nosed foreigner bothers Ms. Kensington again, you can help him out."Eric, feeling cornered, reluctantly nodded. "Alright! I'll pick you up tomorrow."-By the following afternoon, Eric had nearly forgotten about it. By the time he arrived at the school, most of the students had already left. Seeing Eric agree last night, Elly had not come to pick up Max today, confident that her brother was usually reliable. Who would have guessed he almost forgot?Luckily, it didn't cause any issues.When Eric reached the school gate, Max was hiding behind Lora, while Jason stood there, looking extremely upset. Seeing Eric, Max quickly grabbed Lora's hand, "Ms. Kensington, my uncle's here!"Lora, visibly relieved, hur

Jason's teeth were knocked out.Eric was not one to back down easily. With Jason repeatedly provoking him, Eric had no intention of tolerating it.Would he step back and let it go? That was nonsense—backing down would only embolden the other party to push further.Jason was stunned by the slap, his mouth bleeding. He was unable to believe that Eric would slap him in such a public setting.Lora, watching from a distance, was also startled. In her impression, Eric was not someone prone to such impulsive actions.What had driven him to slap Jason? She worried that Eric might get into trouble because of this.Eric, however, was unfazed. He cast a glance at Jason and said, "Let me tell you again: your breakup has nothing to do with me. If you harass me again or dare to lay a hand on me, I won’t be so polite next time!"Jason glared at Eric and fled. He knew he was no match for Eric. As an old saying went, "A wise man doesn’t fight when the odds are against him."As Jason left, Lor

Lena approached and sat beside him. "What's the matter? Any problems?"Tobias nodded repeatedly. "I must admit, this student is the most outstanding and accomplished I've ever mentored!"He wasn’t measuring by money alone. One's achievements could indeed be evaluated through financial success, but that’s far from the only standard. Success in life, in a career, or even as a capable mother or father—all of these counted as achievements. The criteria differ. Some may find success in their careers, yet fail as parents, which, in that aspect, made them unsuccessful. Tobias’ standard was professional achievement, excelling in a particular field or industry.Undoubtedly, in this regard, Eric was exceptionally successful. He had broken the monopoly of the three major international companies, allowing the country to have its own products, free from the stranglehold of these giants. This was an immense achievement!Tobias continued. "But Eric is already married, and his wife is the Inno

The road was blocked by Jason and his friends.All of them were quite robust, each taller than Eric. Four against one gave them a significant advantage over Eric.With the backing of his friends, Jason felt emboldened. Although his friends weren't trained fighters, their muscular physiques from regular gym workouts gave them a menacing and intimidating presence.Max, clearly frightened, retreated behind Eric and whispered, "Uncle Eric, why do they look so much like villains?"Eric patted Max's head and smiled. "Don’t worry, Max. I am here."Max nodded quickly. He had heard from Elly that his uncle was a formidable fighter. Three to five ordinary people couldn’t get near him.'Three to five? That meant four should be just right.'Jason's face twisted with a malicious grin, underlined by a simmering anger. "Lora, you still deny being involved with him? What, planning to follow him home now?"Accepting my love while sleeping with another man—you really are a despicable woman!" he

There was certainly some worry. After all, facing four tall and muscular foreigners, it was natural to feel a bit disadvantaged in terms of physical strength.However, Lora didn't expect Eric to be so skilled. She didn't even see him move, and those two men were already subdued by him. This only deepened her admiration for Eric. Wealthy and successful in his career, with such impressive martial skills—there was no reason to reject a man like this.Lora even wondered, 'With such a well-maintained physique, his abilities in other areas must be quite remarkable, right?'She envied Sylvia—she must be genuinely content!Eric said, "Your aunt is a martial artist. She worried I might get bullied outside, so she taught me a few moves. I didn't expect them to be so useful."Lora was stunned. Sylvia knew martial arts, too? If Eric, taught by her, was this capable, then she must be even more formidable. Who would have guessed? Could that amazing figure be the result of martial arts trainin

Although the video of Eric's actions was quite blurry, Jason didn’t mind. From the footage, it was clear enough that Eric had struck someone, and that was enough for him.Jason was satisfied.Still, he didn’t realize that the video he sent out had been automatically censored, obscuring Eric’s face completely. All videos of Eric on the Internet had undergone similar treatment, including those from the Innova Group’s press conferences he attended, leaving people unable to discern his appearance.This censorship led to speculation about Eric’s identity. Who could this mysterious person be? Did it involve something sensitive?Not only Eric, but also Ruth and Pierce had their faces obscured in any online appearances. But Jason was oblivious to all this. He was waiting for the matter to escalate, expecting results soon.-Morning came.Lora arrived at work early. Having prepared her lesson materials the night before, her morning was free. She had breakfast, watched the news for a bit,
Chapter 1698
Lora had been awarded the title of Outstanding Teacher out of nowhere!Typically, an Outstanding Teacher title was earned when a class achieved the highest grades in the entire school, but this significant detail was conveniently ignored by many.People often jumped to conclusions. They believed Lora had some sort of affair with the principal to receive this award. As for the actual academic performance of her class, they chose to overlook it entirely.By noon, Lora felt uneasy. After lunch, she found her close colleague, Bella Thorne. "Bella, why does the school's atmosphere feel... strange today?""You’re just noticing?" Bella replied. "Don't you go online? Haven’t you seen what's being said? Everyone’s gossiping. They claim you’re having an affair with Mr. Toll and that you have a foreign boyfriend. Isn’t his name Jason Leaks?"Lora shook her head repeatedly. "His name is Jason Bing, and we’ve already broken up. Where did you get... Boden Leaks from?"Suddenly, it clicked!
