Sylvia expressed doubt, but Eric reassured her, "I'm sure Big Bro's family is well-off, but our bond as sworn brothers transcends money. I don't expect him to give me anything or help me in any way. Just like our relationship, I could exploit it for personal gain, but I am not that kind of person. I could never stoop so low."

He continued. "We just need to endure for another three years. You'll achieve your goal by then, and I'll receive what I deserve. It will be a happily-ever-after story."
