Sylvia glanced at the room Max was pointing at.Emily immediately blocked her, saying, "What are you trying to do? My son is already asleep!"Sylvia snorted coldly, then looked at Max. It was only then she noticed scratch marks on his neck."Would you like a hug, Max?" Sylvia put on a sweet and gentle smile.Max opened his arms, and she embraced him tightly. She then unbuttoned his collar, revealing more scratch marks. Her expression grew grim. She sat on the couch and helped him remove his clothes. To everyone's astonishment, his body was also marked with numerous scratches."Who did this? Who could've done such a thing?" Sylvia sobbed.Seeing Sylvia in tears, Brook grabbed Craig. "You scum! Who's responsible?"He seethed with anger, yearning to tear Craig apart.Craig glanced at Max, his eyes devoid of emotion as he silently shook his head.Sylvia wiped her tears and turned to Robert. "Sergeant Wilson, how should we handle this? I'm waiting for your response."With that, sh

Robert seethed with anger. They had broken the law and were shamelessly unapologetic about it! What's worse, if it weren't for them, he would have finished work and been home with his wife and child by now.Frightened, Emily finally agreed to leave with Robert.Before departing, he had his colleagues take Craig to the hospital because Brook's punches had probably given him a concussion.-At the hospital.Max started crying again during the examination. Sylvia patiently comforted him before finishing the examination. The child was deeply scared. The scratch marks on his body would heal slowly, but this incident had undoubtedly traumatized the little boy.After completing the examination and disinfection, Elly and Andy also arrived at the hospital. Seeing the scratch marks on Max's face, Elly burst into tears.Sylvia approached and said, "Elly, Max just cried himself to sleep a while ago. If you cry now, you'll wake him up again."Elly forced herself to hold back the tears.At

Eric's suspicions weren't unfounded. It was clear that Sylvia was indeed the Williams family's young heiress. Furthermore, he possessed evidence supporting his speculation that she also held the position of CEO at Williams Corp.Despite numerous visits to Williams Corp., Eric had only ever encountered the Vice President, Sylvester, never catching a glimpse of the CEO.When he probed into this, both Sylvia and Sylvester explained that the CEO was on an extended business trip. But could a business trip truly span several months?The most logical explanation was that Sylvia was, in fact, the CEO of Williams Corp.He often wondered about Sylvia's immense wealth, her casual purchases of high-end cars, and her willingness to spend vast sums at the hospital without a second thought.Now, everything fell into place for him."Eric—"Eric interrupted her before she could complete her sentence, "I'm tired. I need some rest."He returned to the ward and securely locked the door.Sylvia le

Brook abruptly stood up from the lawn and burst into frustration. Sylvia had completely disrupted his plans, and he couldn't decline without facing dire consequences."Argh!" he shouted in exasperation. "Why is my life so miserable?"The service staff of the Williams family regarded him with bewilderment.After taking a deep breath, he promptly dialed Misty. "M-Misty... Um... I have prior commitments later, so I'm afraid our plans for today need to be... canceled.""You scoundrel!" Misty snarled. "Are you trying to make fun of me? Don't you dare show your face again!"Hearing Misty's outburst, he quickly moved the phone away from his ear. By the time he wanted to explain, she had already hung up.Brook sighed bitterly. "Sylvia, my dear sister, I'm sacrificing my own happiness for you."With that, he retrieved his phone and instructed his associates to scour the city for Eric.-Eric's phone was powered off. He pounded the sandbag with powerful punches, releasing his frustratio

The coach stood up, utterly shocked. Eric's punches packed incredible power, and his precision was spot-on.But in boxing, it wasn't just about throwing punches—you also needed to take them. The vital skills were dodging the opponent's blows and seizing openings for counterattacks.After assessing Eric's dodging skills, the coach approached Big Sis and asked, "Big Sis, where did you find such a strong fighter?"Big Sis glanced at him and inquired, "Can he fight?""He can! He's really good!" the coach replied. "He lacks a bit of experience, but he might even take on Tiger's Muay Thai fighters with some training and practice!"Big Sis remained composed. "We don't need to rush into that. We'll plan it later. Let him have a few matches first."-At that moment, Eric had no clue that Brook and the others were frantically searching for him. His phone was off, leaving no clues in the city. Finding him seemed as challenging as finding a needle in a haystack."Sylvia, where do you usual

Big Sis was stunned. In Salt City, no one dared to challenge the wealthy Williams family, especially when Brook himself was a renowned figure in the criminal underworld, respected by all.Seeing Big Sis here, Brook could guess what was happening. "Big Sis, did you bring Eric for these underground fights?"Big Sis smiled sadly. "Brook, I initially opposed it, but Eric insisted on fighting. I made a mistake, and I apologize to both of you."Brook looked at Sylvia, seeking guidance.Sylvia's expression was icy. "If he wants to fight, let him. Brook, arrange for some of our best fighters to go against him."Brook inwardly fretted. If Eric got hurt, would he be blamed?"If he gets injured, I won't blame you. Send our best fighters. He needs to realize there are always stronger opponents. If he gets hurt, he should quit," she added.Brook sighed. After discussing with Big Sis and having her ask Eric if he still wanted to fight, he organized his top fighters.When Big Sis returned to

Eric's punches were swift, accurate, and mighty. His movements mirrored those of a seasoned boxer with decades of training.What made it even scarier was his unconventional fighting style, mixing elements from different martial arts. This made it nearly impossible for his opponents to defend themselves.Following a series of combinations, Eric knocked out Brook's fighter.A hushed pause followed, broken by a burst of applause.Standing in the audience, Brook gazed at Sylvia in astonishment and asked, "Sylvia, when did Eric become this formidable?"Brook couldn't forget that Sylvia had disclosed that Eric had only commenced martial arts training after their marriage, just three months ago. Yet, here he was, performing at such a high level.Sylvia chuckled softly. "Our Master has great expectations for him. He believes that with just a little more effort, Eric could become a martial arts master."Brook was dumbfounded. There were only a few martial arts masters in the entire count

After all, Eric's pride would not allow that to happen.Sylvia said sternly, "Eric, don't forget the agreement we signed when we got married! Are you sure the money you've earned is enough to compensate me?""You!" Eric was furious. He never expected Sylvia to use that to threaten him."You lied to me first! How can you be so unreasonable?" "You have to return," Sylvia said as she turned to Eric. "First, it was David exploiting you, and now it's my turn. Prepare yourself to work for me for the rest of your life."With those words, Sylvia departed, leaving Eric seething with anger.Big Sis chimed in. "Eric, why not consider going back for now? You both should sit down and have a conversation. There's no need to escalate tensions. Besides, she's the heiress of the Williams, renowned as the most beautiful woman in Salt City. I'm quite envious of you."Eric sighed. He wasn't eager to return.'What's the big deal if she's good-looking? Does being beautiful give her the right to do
