Chapter 276
When Sylvia and Seraphine got back to the Williams residence, Eric was still practicing martial arts. He had been at it all day, and Sylvia felt sorry for him.She approached him and said, "Your mom has already returned to King City, but Seraphine is staying here in Salt City."Eric stopped his practice and sneered. "Is she having Seraphine monitor me?"Sylvia asked, "Do you really think she'd do that?""It's not my concern," Eric replied coldly. Nevertheless, he felt relieved when he heard that Grace had left.Sylvia sighed in frustration. Eric seemed completely uninterested in Grace. He didn't even want to visit her when she fainted.She continued. "Actually, you're mistaken. One reason Seraphine stayed is because of Sylvester."Eric raised an eyebrow, thinking that Sylvester's time had finally come.As long as Seraphine was not here to keep an eye on him, everything was fine. The two of them returned to the living room and found Seraphine. She rested her chin on her hand w

Henry and Amelia turned their heads and focused on Connor. Over the years, Connor had the easiest life among the four siblings. Nobody in the family pressured him to get married. After all, Henry and Amelia were more focused on encouraging their eldest and second child, as well as Sylvia, to settle down.Now that Sylvia had gotten married, Brook had found the love of his life, and Sylvester had shown signs of progress, it was Connor's turn."Why are you looking at me like that?" Connor asked, feeling uneasy.Amelia smiled. "Connor, you're 28 now, right?""Well…" Connor chuckled nervously. "I'm still young! Keith is also 28, and he's still single! I'm not in a hurry! By the way, Mom and Dad, I have some matters to attend to at my establishment. I'll go take a look first.""Wait, Connor…" Before Amelia could finish her sentence, Connor had already run away."What's wrong with him?" Amelia sighed. "I'm not forcing him to get married."That being said, she was content. Sylvia was

Sylvia smiled and reassured, "It's okay. Just focus on Sylvester."Sylvester shook his head helplessly, feeling that this tendency ran in his family. They always seemed more inclined to assist outsiders than their own kin. He recalled that they had acted similarly when Sylvia and Eric first obtained their marriage certificate. It seemed that divine retribution had its way of coming back around.-Meanwhile, Lucas was taken aback when he received Eric's response."He declined my challenge?" He frowned. "What a joke! As a martial artist, how could he refuse a challenge?"Lucas had assumed Eric would accept and that his fighters could defeat Eric soundly. He hadn't expected Eric to flat-out decline.Standing nearby, his fighter sneered. "He's such a coward, yet he calls himself a fighter? He's a disgrace to the underground scene!"Lucas shrugged. "No matter. Spread the word in the underground community that Eric, who claims to be the Salt City champion, rejected our challenge. Let

At that time, Irvin had openly refused to provide Williams Corp. with those properties, which hindered their business plans.Sylvia had initially thought about discussing Grace's matter with Eric. However, she decided against it when she saw Eric in such a good mood.After breakfast, they both arrived at Williams Corp. together.Lucas stood at the company's entrance again, holding a bouquet of flowers.Seeing Sylvia walk hand in hand with Eric, he smiled faintly and approached to give her the flowers.Sylvia glanced at Eric, and he understood immediately. He reached out his hand and said, "Give them to me.""Give them to you?" Lucas sneered. "Eric, I've seen you fight. I didn't expect you to be too scared to accept my challenge! It makes me wonder if you're really a man. Or could it be that you're actually a coward?"No man could stand being called a coward. Lucas' intention was to provoke Eric into accepting his challenge.Eric chuckled. "I don't need you to judge whether I'm

As Seraphine headed to Williams Corp.'s entrance to find Sylvester, a bouquet of flowers blocked her path."Hello, beautiful lady. Haven't we met before?" Lucas asked.Seraphine stopped and glanced at Lucas. "Move out of my way."She had plans to have breakfast with Sylvester, but he had stood her up.Lucas smiled and positioned himself in front of Seraphine. "Lady, it must be fate that brought us together. In the grand scheme of things, it took countless lifetimes for us to cross paths in this one—"A tall figure rushed forward before he could finish speaking and punched him to the ground."How dare you block Ms. Montgomery's path?! You must have a death wish!" the bodyguard said coldly.Fortunately, Lucas hadn't touched Seraphine yet. Otherwise, they would be in trouble.Seraphine looked at Lucas and remarked, "You've got it wrong. You must have accumulated quite a debt in your past lives to earn a punch from my bodyguard in this one."Seraphine then entered the Williams Cor

Grace had recently departed Salt City. She was Sylvia's mother-in-law, so Grace likely had informed Sylvia about it. Indeed, Grace's words to Sylvia hinted at Montgomery Corp.'s intention to wage war against Hernandez Corp.Considering Grace's determination to protect Eric, the likelihood of a major business conflict was high. Today was Monday, and the tension was likely building.Sylvia addressed the room, "I expect we'll see signs of it in the next two to three days. I've gathered you all here to analyze our shared business interests with Montgomery Corp. and Hernandez Corp. These ventures are bound to face difficulties soon. We should swiftly reduce investments or cut ties."She was certain that Montgomery Corp. and Hernandez Corp. would target overlapping businesses if they clashed. This would make it tough for others in the same industry, as both corporations would not tolerate third-party interference during their conflict.Knowing Grace's determination, Sylvia anticipated th

Sylvia was swamped with work, leaving her no time for lunch.Eric stepped in to oversee her lunch break."Been busy?" he asked.Eric figured the north district projects were already wrapped up, so there shouldn't be excessive work."Curious?" Sylvia asked, eyeing Eric. She sensed this might be the right moment to reveal the news about Grace.Eric raised an eyebrow. "Nah, better not know too much. It might involve company secrets. The less one knows, the safer one is. I'm cautious about getting silenced."Sylvia was taken aback. "You think William Corp. is like a mafia gang?"But then, she decided to spill the beans. "Montgomery Corp. and Hernandez Corp. in King City are gearing up for a showdown!"She watched Eric, keen to see his reaction. But Eric remained calm, unaffected by the news. In fact, the impending battle between the two companies wouldn't impact him much since his company dealt with IT solutions.Sylvia sighed. "The clash between these giants might affect our indu

"I forgot," Eric said, looking embarrassed. As he reflected on the situation, he realized he had not allowed Grace to speak.Sylvia glanced at Eric and offered, "I can accompany you to King City once I'm done with my work in the next two days."Sylvia was known for her aloofness, but she became warm and caring when she opened up to someone."Let's discuss it later," Eric replied. "I don't want to disturb her right now."He noticed a lot of food left on the desk and frowned. "Hurry and finish your meal! You might get busy again!"Sylvia smiled and continued eating heartily. After she finished her meal and returned to work, Eric left the office. First, he called Irvin to inquire about any information regarding the Montgomerys and Hernandezes. Then, he headed to the nail salon.This time, he didn't bring Sylvia along.After a while, Sylvia noticed Eric was gone. She took out her phone and called Seraphine, only to discover that she was at Williams Corp.-At Sylvester's office.
