Chapter 171
Eric and Sylvia left the hospital promptly after being informed that Eric's grandmother wasn't sick.Richard could not care less about being scolded by so many people, but he was furious that Sylvia had ruined his plan.'Exactly who this woman is?' Richard asked inwardly."Dad, where did Eric find such a remarkable wife?" Gavin asked.Richard glared at him. "Do you expect me to know? Things have become difficult now they are on guard!"-After having dinner at Elly's place, Eric and Sylvia headed back to the Rosewood Estate.Although Sylvia was willing to have Eric's parents stay with them, the elderly couple chose to stay with Elly to assist her.During the car ride, Eric asked, "How much money do you actually have? And how come I didn't know about the Ferrari?"Sylvia pursed her lips. "You never asked if I owned a Ferrari..."Eric was rendered speechless."You can drive it if you want. As for how much money I have, I don't pay much attention. Didn't I tell you that we're n

Early the next morning, Eric practiced grappling for a while before joining Sylvia for a run. Upon returning, he promptly took a shower.Sylvia called him twice outside the bathroom door but received no response. Consequently, she cautiously approached Eric's room, gently pushing the door open. Sneaking inside, she discovered the marriage contract on the table.With a sigh of relief, she seized the contract and returned to her room.Meanwhile, as Eric emerged from the shower, he sensed something was amiss. A familiar fragrance filled his room.After changing, he realized the contract had vanished. He searched the room but couldn't locate it anywhere.'Oh no, this is not good.' Eric felt a rising sense of anxiety. What would Sylvia think of him if he couldn't even safeguard the contract?Just then, Sylvia arrived at his door."It's time to make breakfast. Let's eat and then go to Elly's place. Hey, why are you sweating bullets when you just took a bath?" she asked.Eric wiped th

"Hey, let's get going!" Sylvia exclaimed. "The two little ones can't wait any longer!" Eric started the car without much thought. He was certain Sylvia smoked too, but it didn't really concern him.When they reached the nail salon, they picked up Cody and Max and went to the amusement park.Not long after they left, Andy arrived, sneaking around cautiously.Elly frowned. "Why are you here again?"The first time Andy helped her clean the door, she considered it a one-time occurrence. After all, he was Eric's business partner. But as he made more visits, she felt something was off.Andy smiled awkwardly and spoke. "Elly, I'm just here to see if there's anything I can assist you with."Elly sighed and replied, "What could you possibly do? Please don't tell me you're a makeup expert!""I'm no makeup artist, but I can handle physical chores!" Andy assured her."Then begin by taking out the garbage," she instructed.Andy enthusiastically took out the trash. When he returned, Big S

Eric and Sylvia were curious as they saw a crowd had gathered in front of the nail salon.Andy ran out, saying, "Eric, something happened!"Eric rushed into the nail salon. Simultaneously, Big Sis' team began shooing away the lesser-known local influencers who had come for selfies. They were determined to keep certain things from going public.Once inside, Eric quickly grasped the situation. He had expected Richard and the others to react, but their swift action surprised him.Elly felt anxious. The impact on their business worried her, but what concerned her more was the barrage of insults and offensive language directed at them online."Elly, they're clearly after money. They'll probably demand it soon," Sylvia speculated.Elly nodded. She understood Richard and the others' motives but was unsure how to respond. Giving in to their demands was not an option."We can expose their true intentions online, but we don't want to escalate things, even though they've taken the first st

Sylvia had a plan in mind. She didn't want to strike back too soon—that would make it less intriguing.Her strategy was to wait until Richard and his group believed they had the upper hand and had cornered Eric and Elly. That's when she'd make her move, ensuring they couldn't retaliate.Eric agreed, recognizing the strength of her plan. Once confronted with evidence, Richard and his group's lies would crumble on their own."Sylvia is clever," Big Sis remarked. "I'll stay out of this for now. When you need me, just give me a call."People on the streets had their flaws, but they were loyal. After Eric helped Big Sis see David's true colors, she considered him one of her own. After some conversation, Big Sis left the salon.Elly felt relieved, knowing Sylvia had a solid plan. She hoped Eric would treat Sylvia well now that she was by his side.Eric and Elly continued living their lives as if nothing had happened.Meanwhile, Richard and his group didn't rush to find Eric and Elly.

David and Jasmine immediately drew everyone's attention. Even the busiest folks couldn't help but pause and watch what was going on, with some discreetly pointing at the two of them.David seethed with anger. He had been facing a series of setbacks lately, even selling his car to make ends meet. How could he endure being humiliated by Eric like this?"Eric Johnson!" He bellowed, raising his fist and swinging it at Eric.Eric might not have been able to dodge such a punch in the past, but things had changed. He sidestepped David's blow effortlessly and taunted, "I've heard you've been hanging around the streets. It's surprising you haven't been beaten with those skills."Spotting a nearby chair, David grabbed it and swung it at Eric.This time, Eric didn't evade. He caught the chair's leg as David swung it toward him and kicked David in the stomach.Even though David had some experience in fights, he was no match for Eric's well-honed abilities.David staggered back, and the chai

David pursued Jasmine for her youthful beauty while she only had her eyes on his money. Now, though, his pockets were empty.All of a sudden, Jasmine's phone buzzed with an incoming call from the police station."Are you Jasmine Pearce, a relative of David Johnson?" the police officer asked. "If so, hurry over to pay for his release!""No, I'm not," she replied before hanging up abruptly.As the person who had purchased David's car approached, Jasmine forced a smile. "Hi, David's tied up right now, so he asked me to handle the transfer. The money will be sent to my account..."After David was released in the afternoon, he discovered his car was missing, and Jasmine had vanished with his money.-Once Eric left the vehicle registration office, he spent a few hundred dollars getting his car meticulously cleaned, particularly the passenger seat.Later, he returned to Williams Corp. to oversee Sylvia's lunch break and then headed to Sonnex Corp. to set up a testing line.After wor

Eric sighed inwardly. Was not every single thing he did affecting her image in some way? The next morning, Eric and Sylvia resumed their training routine. Eric had improved significantly, now able to spar with Sylvia for several rounds. He could potentially match her with a few more techniques under his belt.Sylvia felt a mixture of satisfaction and slight disappointment. Eric was a rare talent. In less than three months, he had reached this level of proficiency. If he had started training at a younger age, he might have already become a martial arts master."What's bothering you?" Eric felt a tinge of discomfort as Sylvia gazed at him.She shook her head. "It's nothing. You're already quite impressive. Your fundamentals are solid. The rest will depend on your own insights. Starting tomorrow, I'll begin teaching you some martial arts techniques."Eric was thrilled to hear this news. After nearly three months of training, he was finally going to learn some techniques!While grap
