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

Once Lucas left, Eric immersed himself in work. To him, Lucas was nothing more than a clown.-After leaving Williams Corp., Lucas purchased some gifts and headed to the Williams family's mansion. Henry greeted him with a smile, "Lucas, I've been eager for your visit since I heard you were in Salt City."Lucas felt pleased by these words. There had been occasional interactions between the Williams and Petterson families due to their business collaborations."Uncle Henry, I've been quite busy since arriving in Salt City. Today is the first chance I've had to visit you. I apologize for the delay," Lucas said.Henry smiled, recognizing Lucas's tactfulness despite his youth. Still, he couldn't help but wonder, 'Lucas had time to visit Williams Corp. and even send flowers to Sylvia, but no time for a visit? It seems a bit peculiar.'Henry nodded. "As the heir to a prominent family, you must be quite occupied. Young people should work hard while they are still young and strive to ach

At that time, Henry was trying to convince Lucas that the Williams family had no objections to Eric becoming their son-in-law. He hoped that Lucas would give up on pursuing Sylvia.Lucas felt frustrated. He couldn't understand why the Williams family had accepted a son-in-law involved in illegal fights.Henry had already made it clear they would support Sylvia's choice unconditionally. Eric had even improved the relationship between the Williams and the Sonnex families. From every angle, Henry had no reason to oppose Eric.Upon realizing he couldn't make any progress with Henry, Lucas left after a brief chat.Once in his car, he took out his phone and made a call."Brother, she's married!" There was a hint of discontent in his voice.After a moment of silence, a faint voice came through. "Find a partner to work with in Salt City now."With that, the call was disconnected.Holding his phone, Lucas thought for a moment and quickly found a suitable candidate.-Meanwhile, at Wil

Gavin was heartbroken. When Blake approached, he stared at him with hostility. "I will write a letter of support if you compensate me with 200,000 dollars. Not a penny less!" Blake said."Blake!" Hearing that Blake was still concerned about money, Fenice was livid. "Mom just passed away, and you're still thinking about money?! Have you gone crazy?"Blake snorted. "They did not hit your husband or your son and daughter-in-law! Those who have not experienced the hardships of others should not advise them on goodness!""200,000 dollars, not a penny less!" Blake was furious. If it were not for the sudden death of their mother, he would not have compromised!Fenice sighed. While she understood Blake's difficulties, she felt it was inappropriate to demand money for reconciliation at a time like this. "Fine! 200,000 dollars it is!" Gavin said, "But Uncle Blake, give me two days, as this is not a small sum."Alyssa's death had ironically saved him 100,000 dollars, and he was no long
