Puzzled, Eric shook his head. "I don't know either..." -Eric and Sylvia headed to the nail salon early in the morning after breakfast.Andy joined them quite early, possibly because it was the weekend. He assisted Elly in opening the shop and diligently cleaned the area."Elly, is there anything else I can do?" Andy asked, setting the broom aside.Elly rolled her eyes and replied, "You can take a break."She was a bit frustrated as Andy seemed unshakeable. She had even asked him what he liked about her so she could adjust herself accordingly. However, Andy had boldly declared that he'd still like her no matter how she changed."Hello, Eric and Sylvia!" Andy greeted them with a smile.Eric's lips twitched slightly—he was still adjusting to this relationship.Just then, Sylvia's phone rang. Seeing an unknown number, she answered and questioned, "Who is this?"Upon hearing the response, Sylvia frowned. She then said, "He's with me at Elly's nail salon. Come over."After endin

"I apologize, Ms. Williams," Seraphine said. "My intentions toward Eric aren't what you think. To be honest, I'm more interested in Sylvester than him."Sylvia frowned, finding Seraphine's behavior strange. She was fixated on Eric one moment, yet she seemed more drawn to Sylvester the next.Ignoring Sylvia's reaction, Seraphine asked, "Eric, were you born and raised in Salt Province?"Sylvia felt uneasy about Seraphine raising such a question.Without hesitation, Eric handed over his ID card and stated, "It's all there. You can see for yourself."Seraphine briefly examined the ID card, snapped a photo with her phone, and returned it to Eric."Why are you doing this?" Eric asked, clearly displeased.Seraphine shrugged. "I'm just curious about you." "Wait a minute!" Eric stepped forward, but Seraphine's bodyguards quickly blocked his path.His eyes gleamed as he considered testing the bodyguards' abilities.However, Sylvia grabbed his arm and shook her head, signaling him not

Sylvia grew suspicious when she saw Seraphine staring at Eric at the Williams' mansion yesterday. After pondering for a while, she concluded that Seraphine intended to come to Salt City to find Eric. To be precise, it was Seraphine's aunt who sought Eric!With this in mind, Sylvia turned to Eric and said, "Eric, I have a daring guess.""What is it?" Eric asked, puzzled."Seraphine might have been staring at you because you resemble someone she knows. More precisely, she thinks there's a connection between you and someone she has met before." Sylvia suggested, "The most likely scenario is that person could be your biological father."Elly dropped the razor she was holding, shocked by Sylvia's speculation. Despite their father's years of searching, no one had ever come looking for Eric.Eric frowned. He had no emotional attachment to his biological parents and had never thought about them. As such, he was somewhat reluctant when Sylvia suddenly brought them up."Why mention this? I
Chapter 264
Seraphine had never witnessed Grace losing her cool before. Despite her elegant name, Grace lacked gracefulness—she had a reputation for being merciless.Grace had ruthlessly claimed the CEO position at Montgomery Corp. by eliminating various members of the Montgomery family. Just the mention of Grace sent shivers through those connected to the Montgomerys.Thus, it felt rather strange to observe her maternal instincts emerging. Although it was unconfirmed whether Eric was truly her son, Grace strongly believed he was the child she had lost 29 years ago. Perhaps it was instinctive due to their shared bloodline. Besides, their eyes bore a striking resemblance."My boy..." Tears welled up in her eyes.Sylvia watched in silence.Could Eric really be Grace's child? It wasn't entirely implausible. Otherwise, why would Grace warmly embrace Eric?It was her first time in Salt City, so how could she have known Eric was her son?Eric took a step back. Although he didn't strongly reject G

Elly felt just as anxious.After a long silence, Eric shook his head and uttered, "You're not my mother."Grace couldn't hold back her tears."Aunt Grace," Seraphine whispered and held Grace.She then fixed her gaze on Eric and said, "Eric! My aunt gave birth to you! No matter how wrong she may have been, you can't change the fact she's your mother!"You keep saying she's not your mother, but have you ever asked why she abandoned you back then? Do you think she became the CEO of Montgomery Corp. so easily?"If you doubt it, why not do a DNA test?"A DNA test seemed unnecessary at this point, but Eric still nodded. "Fine! Let's do the DNA test!"Grace kept crying. She knew Eric didn't believe her, and perhaps only a DNA test could convince him.-The group headed to a testing facility in Salt City.Eric remained silent as Sylvia drove. She was worried about Eric.Eric had previously stated that he did not want to find his biological parents, as Blake and Melinda were his tru

Back at the nail salon.Andy hadn't left yet. He replayed the recent events in his mind, finding them surreal. First, a wealthy young lady bothered Eric. Then, another wealthy woman claimed to be his mother out of the blue!Meanwhile, Grace asked her driver to park the car in front of the nail salon.Seeing Grace's anxiety, Seraphine suggested, "Aunt Grace, why don't you explain everything to Eric? Maybe he'll forgive you."Grace shook her head, keeping her eyes on Eric inside the salon. "When I became the CEO of Montgomery Corp., I wasn't as content as I am now. I arrived suddenly, and he should take his time to accept it. It's alright. I've waited for 29 years. A little more time won't hurt."Seraphine asked, "Aunt Grace, does Uncle know?""I haven't told him yet," Grace replied indifferently.Seraphine knew bringing up Grace's painful past wouldn't help. "Aunt Grace, that beautiful lady is your daughter-in-law. If Eric doesn't relent, maybe you can connect with her.""My dau

"Yes, of course!" Sylvester nodded.He remembered how Seraphine had stared at him for several seconds, but her gaze lingered on Eric even longer. It was the first time he had doubted his looks."Promise me that you'll all remain calm no matter what I say next," Sylvia stated."Of course!" Brook stared at Sylvia, earnestly nodding. "Even if you tell us that Seraphine has feelings for Eric, I won't be surprised!"Sylvia rolled her eyes. "It's even more astonishing than that! Do you recall that Mr. and Mrs. Johnson aren't Eric's biological parents?"The family members nodded.Sylvia took a deep breath and continued. "Eric's birth mother visited today, and her story perfectly aligns with what the Johnsons discovered when they adopted Eric. They even underwent a DNA test this afternoon, and we'll receive the results tomorrow!"Everyone was stunned.Brook exclaimed, "I can't believe it! Sylvia, are you saying that Seraphine is Eric's birth mother?! But she's so young—"The entire fa

Grace spent a restless night, unable to sleep.Early the next morning, she hurried to the testing center, only to hear that the results wouldn't be ready until the afternoon. Thus, she patiently waited there.-Meanwhile, at the Williams.Eric awoke early after a night of deep slumber and began his martial arts practice. Although he was relatively new to it, even Tyson didn't dare spar with him anymore. He openly acknowledged he was no match for Eric. Sylvia and the others watched from a distance, knowing that Eric needed to release his pent-up frustration.Suddenly, Eric's phone rang. It was a call from Tiger.Sylvia answered the call."Mr. Johnson, Mr. Petterson's fighters have arrived in Salt City. We're going to face them in an hour. You should come and watch!"Sylvia was taken aback. Had Tiger and Eric talked about underground fighting last time?She conveyed Tiger's message to Eric. As he finished his final move, Sylvia felt a surge of energy.Tyson stroked his beard
