After parking the car, Andy entered Elly's nail salon with a cheerful smile. The salon was relatively empty, so their arrival caught Elly's immediate attention."Hmm?" Elly appeared puzzled. "Why's everyone here? It's not the weekend."She knew that the Innova Group had been swamped lately, having just triumphed over three international giants. They must be engrossed in the next phase of development. It was unusual for them to visit during regular working hours.Andy chuckled, retrieving something from his pocket and placing it in front of her.Elly looked down and saw a marriage certificate."Wow!" She exclaimed happily, "Alright, alright! That's the way!"She was actually quite pleased. Andy getting married meant he wouldn't pester her anymore, which was a relief. If Andy continued frequently asking about her well-being, she genuinely feared she wouldn't be able to resist his advances. After all, a single mother, no matter how strong, still needed the care of a partner.She ha

Eric pointed at the two certificates on the table and exclaimed, "This is crazy... Where did he come up with such a wild idea?"Elly had a tough time in her previous marriage because Craig didn't respect it, and he wasn't faithful. And now Andy seemed to treat marriage like a joke?Sylvia smiled wryly and said, "They say people do silly things when they're in love. I used to doubt it, but now I understand."Seeing Andy walking over in dejection, Sylvia asked, "Andy, how did you come up with this... mind-boggling idea?"Andy looked at Eric, seeming helpless. "I learned it from Eric..."This astonished Eric. "Andy! I didn't suggest this idea to you! Don't pin it on me, or Elly will blame me!"Andy quickly clarified, "I didn't mean that. When Elly told me about her past marriage, I thought she might be worried about it. So, I thought she wouldn't be worried if I were also married and divorced."Andy then asked, "Did I do something wrong?"Eric and Sylvia didn't know how to respond

At the Innova Group's lab.Andy sighed. He had thought for a long time and still couldn't figure out what he had done wrong. He had done everything to fit into Elly's life and ease her pressure after all. He had lost his motivation to work right now.Shortly after, Eric and Sylvia returned.Andy rushed to them and asked, "Eric, Sylvia, what did Elly say?"He knew that they must have had a conversation with Elly.Sylvia looked curious and asked, "Didn't Elly call you?""Call me?" Andy scratched his head in puzzlement. "Wait and see," Eric said.-The whole day was packed with work, but Andy eagerly awaited Elly's call.In the afternoon, her call finally came, and Andy was overjoyed. He rushed to the nail salon.Elly gave Andy another chance, boosting his work motivation.Meanwhile, there was a lot to do for the Innova Group. The first product wasn't finalized yet, and once it was, they had to expand the product range to fit different price points and customer needs.They a

Andy let out a sigh. "In the past, I had been under the impression that investing tens of millions could kickstart production and going public. Now, after pouring in hundreds of millions, our first product isn't even on the market. It's really concerning."He suddenly felt that the Innova Group had grown too large. They would be in serious trouble if their funding chain broke one day.He also learned that the high-tech industry demanded even more significant investments than the Innova Group and had a lengthy return cycle, ranging from one to two years to as much as seven to eight years.Some high-tech companies had started building their technology reserves over a decade ago and were only now reaping economic benefits."This is just the beginning," Eric reassured him. "The road ahead is long. We started late and missed the initial wave. The three giants dominate the international industry and have made substantial profits, but their investments are no small matter."We need to ke

Kenneth entered the villa, and Felicia greeted him, "Mr. Johnson, you're here."Kenneth nodded, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. It was his first visit, after all."Mr. Johnson, what are you searching for?" Felicia asked with curiosity.Kenneth gestured casually and replied, "I'm just exploring, not searching for anything."Felicia didn't suspect anything. How could she have known the truth about the person before her?But she was puzzled and asked, "Mr. Johnson, why isn't Mrs. Johnson with you? They're always together, right?"Kenneth replied casually, "She's been busy these days, so she couldn't make it."Felicia understood and handed Kenneth a stack of business cards, saying, "These are from people who wanted to see you recently. Their business cards are here."Kenneth took the cards and examined them. He didn't recognize any names but noticed some well-known domestic companies printed on the cards. He sat on the sofa, and his lips curled slightly. This was a necessary

Kenneth felt intense jealousy in his heart. Eric already had a wife, yet a woman like Jessica still pursued him.He was seething with anger! Why should Eric receive such treatment while he had to impersonate him? He even considered taking a bold step and pursuing Jessica, but he didn't dare.Kenneth shook off Jessica's hand and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm still very busy."Afterward, he quickly left, fearing his cover might be blown if he stayed any longer.As he exited the villa, he and Chase left in a rush.Chase took a look at Kenneth and noticed the profuse sweat on his face, a clear sign of extreme nervousness. He said, "I just checked. The woman who entered the villa is Jessica Watson, the heiress of the Watson family. I've heard she's interested in Eric."Kenneth nodded. He had already noticed it while inside the villa.Chase continued. "You mustn't get involved with this woman. It's best to keep your distance. Do you understand?""I understand," Kenneth said impatiently.

Williams Corp. and Sonnex Corp. were the pioneers in initiating these changes. Andy had also deployed a team to expand the market by advertising on television, the Internet, newspapers, and billboards across the region.
