Chapter 1791
Eric was stunned by Anna's audacious words."Change the taste? Is that something one can just switch?" Standing up, Eric addressed her, "Ms. Hunter, please respect yourself. I’ve seen all kinds of women and faced countless challenges."He laughed softly before continuing. "Let me remind you, silicone might look good now, but as you age, it can cause breast blockages and even severe sagging."Anna was livid. She gritted her teeth. "Eric, you just wait!"She had hoped to seduce Eric, but he was completely unfazed. Not only was he indifferent, but he also mocked her by implying she had gotten a boob job. It was a blatant insult, especially since she was all-natural.-Back at her place, Anna took a large gulp of water from her mug, her frustration visibly intense.Jack chuckled. "Sis, did you hit a wall? I told you, they're not that easy to deal with!"He continued to scroll through his phone.Anna glanced up and noticed he was reading old news about the Innova Group, seemingly t

"You men should look at women like this more often. It's pleasing to the eye, can prolong life, and best of all, it's free. Isn't that a good thing?"Eric was stunned. How could this have anything to do with prolonging life? He had never heard of such a thing. As for women like Anna, Eric felt nothing. No matter how seductive she was, he remained unmoved.But Sylvia wasn't joking—she had Eric figured out completely. Men were like strings that could be tightened or loosened, depending on how you controlled them. Besides, there was nothing wrong with a man appreciating beautiful women. Who didn't love beauty?At this stage, Eric had little interest in beautiful women, especially those who self-proclaimed to be wise advisors.-Anna continued to visit the Innova Group, while Lora came by less frequently. Seeing Anna made her feel insecure, thinking she couldn't compete with Anna's assets.Lora understood that a successful man like Eric would have many beautiful women around him, pro
Chapter 1793
As pharmaceutical representatives arrived in Salt City, a slew of self-proclaimed strategists and sages also headed to the city, claiming to bear the mission of saving the world.Upon hearing the public opinion, Andy was exasperated. "Are these people out of their minds? They're actually demanding we provide the vaccine for free? What on earth are they thinking?"The first vaccine was free because it was funded by the Combat Department. However, the second vaccine was produced at a cost by the Innova Group. How could it possibly be free? Furthermore, this vaccine wasn’t even used domestically, so offering it for free was out of the question."People are like that," Eric remarked. "Especially those who play the role of the benevolent party. Ask them to donate millions, and they'll readily agree because they don't have that kind of money. But ask them to donate a few bucks, and they refuse because that’s money they actually have."We should focus on our work and not worry about wha

Reflecting on it, Anna and her group seemed like a joke.The Innova Group had set the price, and the pharmaceutical representatives were delighted to procure the vaccine from there, with no objections and plenty of enthusiasm. Even those plagued by the Haevon virus were waiting with money in hand for the vaccine.Everyone, whether they needed it or not, had no complaints. However, it was the so-called strategists and sages who objected. They aspired to be sages, synonymous with selfless dedication.These self-proclaimed sages positioned themselves on the moral high ground, spouting rhetoric about saving the world and humanity and pressuring the Innova Group to give away the vaccine for free.If that wasn't a display of sanctimoniousness, what was?-Anna and her group waited until the end of the workday.When Eric and Sylvia drove out, they were intercepted by Anna's indignant entourage.Anna, visibly furious, demanded, "Mr. Johnson, Ms. Williams! You owe us an explanation!"S

Anna and her companions had all been driven away. The senior executives of the Innova Group had already left for the day, making any disturbances there utterly pointless.However, one should never underestimate the benevolence of the sanctimonious!In their eyes, while one could choose not to save the world or help others, they must, and one must do it according to their vision. Otherwise, one would be deemed heartless and unrighteous, a heretic and a sinner beyond redemption.The truth was, there was always fertile ground and space for the sanctimonious to operate. Even someone like Amelia, who typically paid little attention to significant matters, had heard the news about the Innova Group. There was no helping it—the Innova Group was the focal point of the business circle, the tech industry, and now, the pharmaceutical industry. A few common medications, along with two vaccines targeting the Haevon virus, had firmly established the Innova Group as a leading authority in this fi

Naturally, the Locke brothers had to be deployed separately. One was responsible for Andy’s safety, while the other was tasked with protecting Elly and the children.Even the security around the Williams family was heightened. Whenever Amelia and Henry went out, they were closely guarded by bodyguards.Despite Salt City's outward calm, it was far from safe. The lives of those associated with Eric and the Innova Group were perpetually at risk.Eric felt the manpower was still insufficient. The Combat Department wasn’t particularly adept in this area. This was more in the realm of Stealthbane.Speaking of which, Stealthbane was a true professional. When he received the news, he sneered. "Couldn't finish them off in Haevon, and now they're running rampant? Fine, let's make sure they don't leave Salt City alive!"Known for his intense hatred of evil, Stealthbane reveled in such confrontations. He and his men were already on their way to Salt City.Meanwhile, Anna and her group had su

Good news didn't travel far, but bad news spread like wildfire.Eric was caught off guard in his office when Sylvia entered and sat beside him, immediately questioning, "I heard through the grapevine that the Hunter chick is pregnant with your child?""What?" Eric was stunned, almost falling out of his chair. "Who's spreading such rumors? I'll kill them!""Going to kill to silence them?" Sylvia laughed. "If she's pregnant, just let her have the baby. Anna has a wide pelvis and good milk supply—she's sure to give birth to a son!"Eric rolled his eyes in frustration. What was happening? He was just sitting in his office, and now trouble was landing on his desk? How many times had he even met Anna?"Darling…" Eric was genuinely scared now. Rumors really could be deadly.Sylvia chuckled. "I'm just teasing you. Who knows who's spreading such nonsense? Anna has only been in Salt City for a few days. Even if she were to get pregnant, it would take a month to know. How could it be so soo
Chapter 1798
There was nothing subordinates like them could do about it, so they'd leave it to Grace.Seeing Vince about to hang up and make another call, Matthew hurriedly stopped him. "Hold on! No rush. I think we should speak to Ms. Williams first!"He quickly headed to the office building.Eric and Sylvia had just finished their business.After listening to the situation, Sylvia laughed heartily. "Matthew, do you believe everything people say? Anna is Jack's sister. She only arrived in Salt City a few days ago. Even if Eric were a breeding bull, he couldn't have gotten her pregnant so quickly!"Matthew suddenly realized the truth. 'Ah, it's all fake.'Anna had claimed to be pregnant with Eric's child just to see him."You scared me!" Matthew wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Mr. Johnson, I thought you had an affair!"It was all just a farce.-Being an honest man, Matthew apologized to Anna.Anna, with her head held high, regained her composure.However, to those strategists and s
