Chapter 406
Eric understood that operating in the high-tech industry required a substantial amount of money.Innova Tech was already working on a new product, and it was indeed expensive. Just before New Year's, the company's account held slightly over 1,000,000 dollars, and they had nearly spent it all, primarily due to the high labor costs.Andy had invested significantly in hiring multiple high-tech professionals with annual salaries starting at tens of thousands of dollars. They also recruited fresh graduates as part of their talent pool, which added to the expenses.Andy had a forward-thinking perspective. He believed that Innova Tech would face significant challenges, but building a reserve of talented individuals was non-negotiable.Eric advised, "You should ask the finance department to calculate the additional funds required. I'll manage the financial side of things."Eric intended to bring the Williams and Sonnex families on board and even considered involving the Montgomerys for ca

When it came to money, Eric seldom discussed it because everything was well taken care of. On the other hand, Grace was even more generous, mentioning that she could provide as much money as the Innova Group needed.After talking about the investment, Irvin excitedly exclaimed, "Eric, you truly have an incredible talent! From last night until now, Dad has stayed clear-headed. It's nothing short of a miracle!" Irvin was impressed since Josh typically only stayed lucid for a few hours. This time, however, there were no signs of confusion, and Irvin was thrilled.Eric replied confidently, "We should continue the treatment. After tomorrow night's final treatment, Grandpa Josh's illness will be completely cured."Eric was quite confident in this.-In the evening, he administered the second round of treatment to Josh, who remained lucid throughout the process.After the treatment, Irvin playfully asked, "Eric, how about prescribing some medication? We need a truckload of medicine ea

The topic of the wedding found its way onto Eric's busy schedule. As they left the Sonnex estate, Eric turned to Sylvia and said, "Honey, when you have a moment, ask your parents privately how many guests we should invite for our wedding ceremony."Although they had officially tied the knot over half a year ago, Eric felt that certain formalities should be followed.Sylvia smiled and asked, "Are you serious about this?"Eric replied, "We don't need a big celebration. We can invite only close family and friends. What truly matters is our love for each other."However, Eric shook his head and added, "No, my dear. A wedding happens once in a lifetime, and it should be grand. We need to announce to everyone that I have married you and that you are my wife."In the past, financial constraints had forced Eric to postpone his marriage to Jasmine for nearly nine years. He might have married her much earlier if he had had the money. He was grateful to David and Jasmine that he hadn't marri

Gary frequently showcased his rich lifestyle on Instagram, giving the impression that he lived a life many would envy."I noticed you didn't respond in the group chat, and I was afraid you wouldn't show up. If you weren't here, our class reunion wouldn't have the same meaning," Gary remarked.Women like Sylvia always attracted attention wherever they went. Sylvia's veil added an air of mystery tonight, intriguing several male classmates. To their knowledge, this stunning beauty was still single.Sylvia simply nodded and remained reserved, consistent with her distant persona from high school. She rarely engaged in conversation, even with her female classmates.Observing Sylvia's cool demeanor, Gary glanced at Eric and asked, "Sylvia, is he your chauffeur?"Gary failed to recognize Eric due to the intimidating scars on his face.Sylvia smiled and replied, "Gary, this is Eric.""What?!" Several classmates exclaimed, scrutinizing Eric for a while before recognizing him. They still r

Surprise! Eric kept their relationship low-key, but Sylvia didn't.Their fellow classmates were shocked. Did Eric not like Sylvia anymore? Was she not up to his standards? Who would dare to belittle Sylvia? Who would dare to say she wasn't good enough?!After Sylvia's revelation, it became tough for anyone to believe there was nothing between them.Eric scratched his head and remained silent, showing a touch of modesty. Sylvia snorted and stated, "Eric and I got married over half a year ago."Their classmates were shocked once again.Gary stood still. He had thought something was happening between Eric and Sylvia, but he never expected them to be married! If not for Sylvia, he wouldn't have bothered organizing this class reunion!Silence fell over the place.Even Eric's roommates were surprised. In their view, Eric and Sylvia were in different leagues. They had all been living in the school dorms, hailing from rural areas. On the other hand, Sylvia and some classmates had home

Even now, their conversation remained focused on their high school memories.Eric had a few drinks while Sylvia stuck to fruit juice. As they enjoyed their beverages, Gary approached, holding a wine glass, and he said, "Sylvia, my dear, here's to you."Sylvia smiled faintly and replied, "I'm sorry, but I have to drive later, so I can't have alcohol. Can I have juice instead?"Gary didn't hide his disappointment. After all, she had shared drinks with him at last year's class reunion, so why this change? Was it because Eric was drinking, and she had to drive?With a forced smile, Gary said, "You can always call an Uber later. There are plenty of them waiting at the entrance. If we all stop drinking, they might go out of business."Sylvia wasn't sure how to respond and simply said, "How about Eric drinks for me? Besides, I'm not really up for drinking these days...""Are you pregnant?" Justin blurted out, making the atmosphere tense. Was Sylvia expecting Eric's child?"Yes." Sylvia

Gary had too much to drink, and he vented his frustration. "Gary, just let them go," someone advised.Gary shrugged it off, saying, "Let them go? I've spent thousands on this gathering. How can I just let it go? It's not that simple!"They must come! I've booked the VIP room, and it's not far from here! Why wouldn't they come? This is disrespectful!"As there was a second part to the gathering, everyone except for Gary had refrained from excessive drinking. Fueled by alcohol, he blocked Sylvia and Eric from leaving.Justin stepped in, positioning himself between Eric, Sylvia, and Gary, and said, "Eric, you two go ahead. We'll handle this."Eric was about to agree, but Gary cut in, "Justin, are you trying to pick a fight? Do you want me to call my buddies to deal with you?"The rest of the classmates disapproved of Gary's arrogant behavior. Such remarks were inappropriate at a gathering.Sylvia took Eric aside and suggested, "Let's go there for a while. Besides, that place is p

Gary cried in pain, bellowing, "How dare you mess with me?! You'll regret it!"He swiftly grabbed his phone and made a call, which caught Justin and a few friends' attention. They urged, "Eric, Sylvia, you should leave now!"Gary sneered. After ending the call and stashing his phone away, he said, "Leave? No one's leaving! I'll show you who's boss tonight!"Eric wondered about Gary's audacity and his connections in the underworld. He hadn't witnessed anyone under Tiger's influence acting so arrogantly.On the other hand, Sylvia remained calm and took a seat. She felt angry as she remembered Gary's relentless pursuit from their high school days. This venue belonged to her family, and Eric had a strong bond with Tiger. Also, Brook held considerable influence in the underworld. Sylvia wanted to see how much trouble Gary could stir up.Justin anxiously pressed, "Why haven't you left?"Eric smiled and replied, "Let's wait and see. I'm eager to find out his standing in the underworld
