Eric did not want to waste his time on Jasmine. In the afternoon, he had to go to the Williams for lunch.Irvin arrived a little earlier than them. As the leaders of the two prominent families in Salt City, their interactions were quite frequent. Although Henry had temporarily delegated authority in recent years, Irvin knew it was just his way to groom the next Williams generation.If Sylvia and Sylvester could manage Williams Corp. well and take it to greater heights, Henry would have nothing to worry about. He could let his son and daughter manage the company. However, if neither Sylvia nor Sylvester proved capable, Henry would definitely step in and take control of Williams Corp. immediately.Irvin admired Henry's willingness to entrust Sylvia with leadership responsibilities, something he couldn't bring himself to do. Instead, he chose to mentor Keith and allow him to accumulate more experience, avoiding granting him complete control over the entire company. Irvin lacked the c

Irvin was starting to dislike the wine. He glanced at Misty, wondering if he should let her be with Brook. Then, he could ask Brook to send him some wine bottles and invite Henry to enjoy it properly.As he pondered, Eric and Sylvia returned. Seeing the whole family gathered, Eric finally understood the meal's reason."Brother Eric!" Irvin greeted. "Come join us for some wine. This wine earned your father-in-law's high praise!"Eric noticed it was the wine he had gifted him yesterday. He hesitated to sit down, mindful of Henry being his father-in-law, even though he and Irvin were close as brothers. Keith had also distanced himself earlier."Big Bro, Father, please savor your wine." Eric smiled. "Sylvia and I need to talk."Henry glanced at Eric, appreciating his sensibility.Once the Williams brothers returned, everyone took their seats.Since Eric couldn't drink, only Irvin, Henry, and Grandpa Godrick indulged. After a few rounds, Irvin and Henry were a bit tipsy.Henry hadn'

Brook didn't understand why his father asked him to take wine to Irvin, but he knew it meant he could finally be with Misty.-In the car.Keith asked, "Dad, why do you insist on having Uncle Eric deliver wine to you? We have plenty of wine bottles at home!"Irvin snorted, "Didn't you notice Henry's arrogant expression? The wine was a gift from Eric, showing off because I don't have a son-in-law!"Hmph! I'll have Brother Eric deliver it, and tomorrow, I'll flaunt it, claiming it's a gift from someone else's son-in-law! Let's see if Brook catches on! Otherwise, there's no hope for him and your sister right now."Keith was speechless at how childish his father was."Dad, did you trade your own daughter for wine? Are you sure I'm your biological daughter?" Misty looked displeased.Irvin chuckled. "Misty, don't think I'm unaware of your secret meetings with that rascal. You're getting too old to stay at home! Plus, the Williams family and our family are a good match now. Uncle Eric

Eric boldly reached out and held Sylvia's waist. He exhaled near her ear, causing a tickling sensation.Sylvia clenched her teeth, suspecting Eric was doing it intentionally. He seemed experienced.Eric grew impatient but couldn't tell if Sylvia was awake."W-What are you doing?" Sylvia asked."You're awake..." Eric was almost terrified.Sweating profusely, he braced himself for Sylvia's potential anger. She turned to look at him, and her fragrance overwhelmed him.Just as he prepared to make his next move, Sylvia suddenly instructed, "Go take a cold shower."Eric thought they might continue after the shower, but Sylvia added, "It's that time of the month."Eric looked puzzled. "What do you mean, 'that time of the month'?"Sylvia laughed. "Honestly, do you not know, or are you just pretending? If you're unaware, search it online. I don't want to explain it to you!"Eric frowned, opened his phone, and searched. Soon, he looked dejected. "It came last night." Sylvia looked at

"Hehe!" Irvin smiled and poured the wine into different glasses. He pushed the glasses toward Henry and said, "Henry, give it a taste. These two glasses of wine are quite different!"Henry's mouth twitched, and he tasted both glasses."How is it?" Irvin could not wait to ask, "Can you feel... the different flavors?""It's good!" Henry nodded and left it at that.This left Irvin frustrated. Why did Henry not ask about the significance of these two glasses of wine? He was not playing by the rules!However, with an argument ready, Irvin said with pride, "One bottle is from my prospective son-in-law, and the other is from my sworn brother. Of course, they are good!"Henry thought, 'What's with this fellow? Is he trying to compete in everything?'Then he chuckled and said, "Irvin, it won't be long before I can drink wine from my daughter-in-law!"Irvin's expression froze immediately!He thought he had outsmarted Henry, but the latter used that unexpected move against him!Henry co

Sylvester didn't say much. It was a relief that Sylvia hadn't been showing up at Williams Corp. lately, causing Lucas to keep his distance. The situation would likely resolve itself when he encountered Lucas again and disclosed Sylvia's marital status.Eric paid little attention to Lucas's presence. Sylvia had been absent from Williams Corp. during this period, denying Lucas a chance to see her. Despite receiving messages from Lucas, her responses were brief, discouraging further conversation.-In the early morning, Sylvester arrived at Williams Corp. As anticipated, Lucas awaited him at the entrance.Sylvester couldn't help but wonder whether Lucas had nothing else to occupy his time after staying in Salt City for several days."Sylvester!" Lucas approached swiftly. "Has Sylvia shown up for work yet?"Sylvester shook his head. "She's been occupied with other matters lately and hasn't been coming to the company. Since you're here, let's discuss this in my office."Sylvester pou

Gavin had called Fenice to manipulate emotions in his favor. If needed, he would exploit his elderly grandmother to pressure Blake into compliance. His initial goal was to get his father, Richard, released. As for Jared and Kayden, there wasn't much he could do for them at the moment.However, he hadn't anticipated that Blake would prefer to care for Alyssa until her final days rather than give in."Blake, are you really that heartless?" Fenice grew anxious. "If Richard, Jared, and Kayden are sentenced, it'll ruin the family."Blake snorted. "Do you realize how absurd that sounds? Did they care when they hit me with their car or crashed their car with Eric and Sylvia's?"Upon hearing that, Fenice couldn't help but glance at Gavin. He had deceived her. Gavin had told Fenice that Richard and Jared had accidentally hit Blake's but omitted the part about Eric and Sylvia's involvement."Fine, I don't care anymore! I'm sending Mom over to your place!" Fenice declared indignantly.Watch

The receptionist was left puzzled.Sylvia playfully pinched Eric's arm. "Aren't you worried about upsetting Lucas?"Eric grinned. "Why should I be afraid? I've already sent flowers to my wife openly."Upon hearing that, Sylvia hooked her arm through Eric's, and they stepped into the elevator.Outside, Lucas seethed with anger. He decided to enter the building, determined to confront Eric.-At present, Eric was focused on his work in the central control room."Eric!" Lucas called out sternly."What brings you here?" Eric responded calmly, not pausing in his tasks.Lucas frowned. "You don't seem like a prominent family's heir. Do you even know who Sylvia is?"Eric chuckled. "I didn't at first, but now I do. She's Williams Corp.'s CEO and the Williams family's heiress."Lucas nodded. "Now that you know, why do you persist with Sylvia?"Eric grew confident, setting down his computer and approaching Lucas. "Firstly, Sylvia and I are legally married, and our relationship is soli
