Chapter 186
After the court's decision, Eric and Sylvia left immediately. They needed to return to their hometown due to the lack of updates from the police, which suggested slow progress in the case.As they were about to enter their car, Richard and his group hurriedly approached.Seeing Eric about to get in the car, they urgently called out, "Wait, Eric, wait for us!"Eric turned and asked, "Uncle Richard, is there something else?"With a friendly grin, Richard replied, "Eric, you still call me 'Uncle Richard'. Your father and I are brothers. Given our family connection, could you reconsider the lawsuit? We won't pursue the money anymore. It wasn't meant for me, after all.""I'm sorry, Uncle Richard." Eric chuckled. "It's too late now. I won't withdraw the lawsuit. I never expected you to mention that you're my father's brother. Please prepare for a public apology, remove all the Internet posts, and..."He smiled at Richard and continued. "Be prepared to pay 70,000 dollars. Otherwise, the

Sylvia was infuriated and had her lawyer and the court take coercive measures the next morning.Firstly, they used legal procedures to remove the defamatory posts from the Internet and then froze Richard's bank accounts.-"Fuck!" Gavin cursed when he received the call.The call came from the court, instructing them to publicly apologize online. Additionally, a total of 70,000 dollars had been withdrawn from their bank accounts. Richard felt like someone had stabbed him in his heart when he realized he had lost so much money. It was the compensation money for the land. His initial goal was to obtain Blake's money, but instead, he lost his own."I'll sue them! I'm going to sue them for taking my money!" Richard fumed."Dad!" Gavin said, wearing a bitter expression. "It was the court that took your money. Are you going to sue the court?"This brought Richard to his senses.Jared and Kayden faced more difficulties than Richard and Gavin. Their financial situation was not as good

Blake said calmly, "Mom, how am I making things difficult for them? I have no idea what you mean."Blake was not lying. He had not been involved in the lawsuit and was unaware that their bank accounts had been frozen.Alyssa lamented, "You are all brothers! As the eldest, why can't you give in a little to your younger brothers? Why must you do this to them? Do you want them to die?"Richard had complained to her before coming here. He had told her that Blake not only failed to share the compensation money with them but also took legal action against them. As a result, their bank accounts were frozen.Alyssa had a stronger bond with her two younger sons and supported them regardless of their actions. As for her eldest son, she didn't have much concern for him.Blake looked somewhat troubled, "Mom, I really don't know what you're talking about. What did I do to them? They are the ones who have been trying to cause trouble for Elly and Eric."Blake remained calm as well. Perhaps he

"Even now, they still want to steal the money my father struggled to get back for his land. How could you not blame them but us instead? Don't you think that's a little bit illogical?" Eric continued. "If anyone should apologize, it should be them. Otherwise, I won't let this end."The bank accounts haven't been unfrozen because they haven't apologized. If they don't do so, we have the right to sue and demand compensation again. I hope the balance in their bank accounts can last until that time."The mention of another lawsuit alarmed Richard and his group. "Eric!" Richard said, grinning from ear to ear, "I'm sorry for everything we've done. Can you ask the court to unfreeze our accounts? Also, can you return the money? We're all family. Why make things difficult for each other?""Return the money?" Eric chuckled, "What money? Besides, I haven't made things difficult for you guys. I'm just asking you to post an apology to clear our name. You're skilled at posting online, right? Th

With Richard and his group leaving, the nail salon finally quieted down.Blake let out a long sigh and said, "We've completely fallen out with your uncles."He had not wanted things to escalate to this point but had become older and had less energy to manage these issues. Moreover, he learned to take many things in stride after the recent car accident.Eric understood his father's feelings and reassured him, "Dad, consider it a lesson to Uncle Richard and Jared. I haven't used a single cent from their money."After that, he took out the bank card and handed it to Blake.Blake pushed the card back and said, "The court wanted them to pay you for a reason. Your uncles went too far this time. Don't return it. Consider it a compensation for these years for you and your sister."He knew his two brothers were not short of money, and his children were doing well, too.Eric accepted the bank card without saying more. However, he noticed that his father's back seemed to have stooped a lit

"Let's think it this way," Andy said. "Although we're partners, there might still be some conflicts inevitably. If I end up with Elly, then most of those conflicts won't exist, right?"Eric glanced at Andy and felt he made sense. If Andy really ended up with Elly, their bond would be unbreakable."It really depends on my sister," Eric explained. "Whether it can happen relies on her. You see, she just went through a divorce, and her heart must be hurting a lot. On top of that, she recently started her own business, so she might not be ready for it right now.""No worries." Andy grinned. "Patience is the key in life."Eric was at a loss for words. He didn't have much to say about relationships because he also had experienced a failed one.Soon, Elly returned. When she spotted Andy, her expression soured."Elly," Andy approached her, but she just rolled her eyes."Take the cherries back. They're quite expensive," Elly said.Andy smiled widely and replied, "I know you and the kids

Sylvia sensed Eric's eagerness to know the answer but hesitated to introduce him to her master. She hadn't shared the complete story with her master yet. If her master said anything that revealed her secret, she'd be in serious trouble.She could only tell Eric that her master had gone out for training. But once Eric had dropped her at Williams Corp., she headed back to the Williams' residence.Her master lived there full-time, dedicating himself to martial arts research. The family financially supported him, and he taught martial arts exclusively to the four siblings.When Amelia saw Sylvia, she frowned and asked, "What's the matter, Vee? Did you two get into a fight again?"For the past three months of their marriage, every time Sylvia returned home, it meant she had argued with Eric.Sylvia chuckled as she hugged her mother. Mom, this is my home. Must I always come back after a fight with Eric?"Amelia raised an eyebrow and teased, "Oh, come on! You've hardly been home these p

Sylvia knew exactly when Eric had begun his martial arts journey. Initially, he was inexperienced, and his previous environment wasn't conducive to martial arts training. Furthermore, if Eric were a true martial arts expert, he could have defeated her long ago, given the promises she had made.Tyson said, "Well then, bring him over later. I'll assess his skills."Sylvia had the same idea.After discussing a few matters with Tyson, she returned to Williams Corp. and invited Eric. Together, they headed to a quiet park.The park was empty in the morning, making it perfect for Tyson and Eric to exchange a few moves. From a distance, Eric spotted Tyson standing as firm as a post."That's my master, and you should address him as such," Sylvia instructed Eric.Eric nodded, and they approached Tyson. Just as he was about to address Tyson as "master," he was taken by surprise by Tyson's sudden attack—a Jab Punch and a lunge at Eric.Eric was shocked. While he had been practicing martial
