Chapter 693
Facing those who detained her, the negotiation team from her country, and the executives of the Innova Group, Sylvia hadn't shed a tear. Even when detained, she comforted the executives with overly optimistic attitudes.However, she couldn't hold back any longer in Eric's presence. The yearning for Eric, persistent day in and day out, turned into tears.Hearing Sylvia's cries, Eric felt his heart stabbed. He briefly considered switching places with her, but he knew it was impossible. The military wouldn't allow it, and there were too many factors to consider.Sylvia wept bitterly, releasing all the grievances and yearning for Eric that had accumulated during this time. After a long while, she finally pulled away from Eric's embrace.Wiping away the tears on her face, Eric reassured, "We're working on a solution. Stay here and wait for me. I'll pick you up as soon as possible. And when I come, you mustn't have lost any weight!"Sylvia nodded, understanding that few problems or peop

Eric quickly joined the negotiation team in a temporary office dedicated to addressing the detention issue.The team leader, Braydon Murphy, had received a call before Eric's arrival, explaining Eric's various identities. Upon seeing Eric, a hint of respect flashed across Braydon's face. If Eric were just the Innova Group's CIO, there would be no need for such a call to reach him.While the others in the room were engrossed in their tasks, Eric couldn't help expressing gratitude to Braydon for their hard work for the Innova Group.Braydon poured coffee and invited Eric to sit. "Mr. Johnson, the situation is quite challenging. I've dealt with similar cases before, but what Ms. Williams is facing is the most difficult."Their goal is clear—to detain Ms. Williams and undermine the Innova Group. I must admit, until now, we haven't identified the mastermind behind all this. From this perspective, our progress hasn't been substantial."We initially considered taking the initiative to in

Besides, Eric was also a holistic physician, and the holistic medicine community would step in.Scott stared fixedly at Eric. As far as he knew, Eric held the CIO position at the Innova Group. However, it seemed that his role was not as significant as Sylvia's.The Innova Group had achieved its current status entirely due to its outstanding CEO.Smiling, Scott said, "You really are cunning, Mr. Johnson, even more cunning than the people I have encountered from your country! Whether we release Ms. Williams or not depends on your sincerity.""What sincerity?" Eric asked calmly.Scott continued. "I assume that you are pretty capable, given that you could establish the Innova Group on your own. The reason our people detained your CEO should also be clear to you."I'll cut to the chase. We can release Ms. Williams, but you must agree to sell 51% of the Innova Group's shares. At the same time, the two founders must relinquish control of the Innova Group. As long as we get the shares, w

Eric said, "Mom, Vee is doing well. She eats and sleeps soundly every day. The place she stays in is quite spacious, and when she's bored, she practices martial arts to pass the time. She's in a good environment, surrounded by green hills and waters."The exact time of her return is still uncertain, but the negotiating team is working hard. I've also discovered that some people are playing tricks behind the scenes, and I've met with their representatives."Upon hearing that, Grace sighed. "The poor child is really going through a lot. Thinking about her being detained alone in a foreign country breaks my heart."After wiping away her tears, she continued. "Fortunately, we have some connections over there. I'll call Sean later and ask him to get some of our people inside."Grace had already started making plans.After spending two days with her in King City, Eric returned to Salt City.Upon returning, he went straight to the Williams residence to inform Henry, Amelia, and the othe

"Did you agree to their conditions?" Michael asked.Eric shook his head. "No way I could agree to such conditions!" Michael breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't misjudge you guys. You're young people who refuse to bow to evil forces. Now that we're certain someone is causing trouble behind our backs, I have a rough idea of who it might be. This could be a breakthrough!""Who?" Eric asked."Remember when I told you about the super conglomerates?" Michael reminded him.Eric nodded, recalling the discussion about how the super conglomerates influenced the three international giants."They practically control the world's economic development," Michael explained. "The value of those three international giants, worth trillions, is just the tip of the iceberg in their wealth. It's quite terrifying."Eric was stunned. He had only encountered such super conglomerates in novels and did not realize they actually existed."Around two years ago, one of those super conglomerates under the R

"Why are you here again?" Eric asked.Ruth was rendered speechless. She had also realized that every time she came to Salt City to find Eric, it was never good news."This time, it's good news," Ruth said.Eric raised an eyebrow skeptically."Don't believe it?" Ruth sneered. "Consider yourself lucky, scoundrel. My father heard that your wife is temporarily unable to return because she's being detained there. He asked me to come to seduce you and improve our relationship a bit. Maybe I'll take her place?""Get to the point!" Eric said."What's the matter?" Ruth asked as she glanced at Eric. "Are you really not interested in me? Not even the slightest bit?"She was starting to doubt herself. She had many suitors, so she did not believe that Eric had no interest in her at all."Get to the point!" Eric emphasized again, noticing that Ruth seemed to be getting less serious.Ruth scoffed. "After the incident at the border, my mentor and I found out that someone on our side instigate

Andy knew Craig wanted to talk about Elly. However, Elly had long severed ties with him. The only connection Craig had was through their two children.Andy was well aware of this, and Elly had no intention of letting the kids meet Craig. Over these past few days, the kids had accepted Andy's presence, and their relationship was quite good. Even though they were young, they were able to understand certain things.Clenching his teeth, Craigh said, "Andy, I just want to talk to you."Andy glanced at Craig and asked, "How much money do you want?"He knew Craig too well. Craig had disappeared for a while, and Andy was certain that his reappearance had to be about money. Just as Andy expected, Craig said, "I can't stand living like this anymore! 300,000 dollars! Just give me 300,000 dollars to start a business! I won't bother you anymore, and I'll repay the money!""300,000 dollars?" Andy chuckled. He did not even have 300,000 dollars in his bank account. Ironically, he was probably t

They engaged in conversation before parting ways at the company.Returning to the Rosewood Estate, Eric directed his attention toward the buzz in the holistic medicine community. Word about Eric had already begun to circulate.This strategic move aimed to inform the Rogers family about Eric's existence and extend a personal invitation. Once the Rogers family visited and Sean gathered essential information, Eric could proceed with his plan.More positive developments emerged. Sean successfully infiltrated his people into the team monitoring Sylvia.Initially, Eric was concerned about their adversaries' potential resort to assassination, but he now found it unnecessary. It seemed their enemies recognized the need to detain Sylvia while ensuring layers of protection. Any harm to Sylvia would pose a threat to them as well.After addressing crucial matters, Eric prepared to cook. The challenging days at Westman Technology instilled in him the habit of preparing his meals. Even when alo
