Chapter 732
Sylvia orchestrated the matter and called Paxton the next morning on behalf of the Innova Group. She expressed the intention to visit the Orlandos in the afternoon after work.The Orlandos were delighted.Recognition was something people craved, and Sylvia's call undoubtedly symbolized the Innova Group's acknowledgment of the Orlandos. Sylvia's connection with the Williams also hinted at the Williams' recognition of them.Wince felt even happier, as it seemed Sylvia recognized him as well. Wince had an imaginative mind, but why would she visit if Sylvia didn't acknowledge him?-In the afternoon, Ruth dressed remarkably, catching everyone by surprise."You're so stylish," Eric remarked, praising Ruth for the first time. He wanted to use different words but was afraid of upsetting her."No choice," Ruth explained. "The Crimson grandmasters have a high status. They likely have information about me. I'm afraid they might recognize me if I don't put on heavy makeup. In that case, it

Paxton nodded. However, Wince continued escorting the three out of the Orlando residence. While getting into the car, he seized the opportunity to slip a note into Ruth's hand.Ruth pocketed the note, and Wince appeared pleased.As the car left the Orlando manor, Ruth tossed the note to Sylvia, remarking, "That scoundrel actually has the nerve to make a move on me. Did he also slip a note to you?"Sylvia picked up the note. It contained Wince's phone number, implying his romantic interest. This revelation allowed Sylvia to see through Wince's character.Despite openly displaying affection for Sylvia, Wince seemed romantically interested in Ruth, who remained uninterested in him.Uninterested in Wince, Eric asked, "So, any discoveries?"Ruth shook her head. "I only found out that Paxton and Wince both know martial arts, but their appearances don't quite match the two missing Crimson grandmasters.""Not quite?" Eric asked.Sylvia suggested, "Perhaps those two grandmasters aren't

"Are you sure about that?" Wince asked.Upon hearing that Eric and Sylvia had entered the Rosewood Estate together, Wince didn't initially react much.However, the person reporting back added speculation about a possible affair, sparking Wince's imagination."Yes, I saw it clearly!" The person explained, "His assistant left after dropping them off at the Rosewood Estate. I personally watched them get out of the car and enter the elevator together!""Fuck!" Wince cursed. "I can't believe she's married!""I don't think so!" Paxton said, "While it's true that Eric is an exceptional young man, do you truly believe that's sufficient to captivate Sylvia? What would she gain by being with him? Is she intrigued by those daunting scars on their faces? Can't she choose another suitor? Why would she opt for someone as visually unappealing as Eric?"Wince nodded. He had been frightened when he saw Eric at the banquet. Besides, being the Williams heiress, Sylvia wouldn't be interested in Eric

The Orlandos were also preparing to enter the pharmaceutical industry in Salt City, which had always been a highly profitable business.Soon, Ruth obtained relevant information about the Orlandos, including Paxton and Kayden. However, based on the available information, she still could not confirm whether Paxton, Kayden, or even Wince were the two grandmasters who disappeared in Salt City.Ruth frowned. "Do I really have to get close to Wince?"She had no favorable impression of him. In fact, she found him quite repulsive. Nevertheless, for the sake of the mission, she decided to approach Wince and see if she could gather any useful information from him.After making the decision, she took out her phone and called Wince, speaking in a sweet voice. "Mr. Orlando, are you asleep yet?"-At the Orlando residence.The thought of Ruth's figure ignited a fire in Wince. He knew Ruth would contact him. After all, he was one of the Orlandos. If she became his girlfriend, she would get muc

Wince felt drowsy in no time after the red wine went down. He picked up the wine bottle, looking puzzled. "Did you buy fake wine? Why is it hitting me so hard?""How could that be?" Ruth smirked. "I've kept this bottle of wine for a long time. Maybe your body can't handle it..."Wince was instantly turned on as he gazed lustfully at Ruth. He stood up, ready to pounce on her. However, as soon as he took a step, he stumbled and fell to the floor.Seeing Wince on the floor, Ruth sneered, grabbed him, and tossed him onto the bed. Then, she patted his cheek and asked, "Wince, let me ask you. Are you and your family related to the Crimson Order?"Ruth did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.Still groggy, Wince replied, "My dad and my uncle are both part of the Crimson Order." Ruth was stunned. It seemed her suspicion was not unfounded. The Orlandos arriving in Salt City at the same time as the Crimson grandmasters went missing made them highly suspicious.She con

Eric listened in astonishment. Ruth had managed to gather so much useful information in such a short time. Was the allure of a beautiful woman truly this effective?However, targeting Sylvia and the Innova Group was a problem."When do we take action?" Eric asked.He knew the style of the Combat Department. Once they had the evidence, they would swiftly take action.However, Ruth replied, "There's no rush for action at the moment. The Orlandos only have two grandmasters, and their strength is not enough to take down Tiger. "They'll undoubtedly deploy more Crimson martial artists. Let them bring in their personnel, and then we can strike them all at once. It's a waiting game, and perhaps even Shadow might come to Salt City to ensure the mission's success."Eric frowned. Sylvia had suffered several times, and now the Orlandos had their eyes on her. It did not sit well with him."Let me know when it's time for action," Eric said coldly."Sure." She added, "Eric, don't blame me fo

In the late afternoon, following their departure from the Innova Group, Eric and Sylvia noticed Wince standing nearby.Earlier that day, Eric had cautioned Sylvia to watch out for Wince, as Ruth had gathered intel from him about the Orlandos' schemes against Sylvia and the Innova Group.Despite their intention to steer clear, Wince approached them.Just as Wince was about to speak, Ruth also appeared."Hey!" She exclaimed, "Isn't it Mr. Orlando? Are you here to pick me up?"Wince was at a loss. He had almost forgotten about Ruth.However, Ruth was not going to let him off easily. "How could you be so heartless, Mr. Orlando? We had a great time last night at Salt City Grand Hotel, and today, you act like you don't know me. Are you trying to pretend you don't recognize me and wipe the slate clean?"Wince's face sank. He had come to the Innova Group today for Sylvia, not for Ruth.He glared at Ruth and said, "Please refrain from speaking nonsense in public. Otherwise, I can sue yo

However, he had no idea how wealthy Ruth was. He probably would not have uttered those words if he knew that she was the young heiress of the top-tier McClains in King City.Ruth smiled sweetly. "Mr. Orlando, am I not beautiful enough? Is my beauty not worthy of you?" Wince glanced at Ruth, "Hmph! A peasant is just a peasant. There's no way you can change your fate. Dreams can be dreamt, but bringing them into reality is impossible!" Little did he know, this statement would sow the seeds of regret for his future encounters. Although Ruth had the intention to do that, Wince's words only strengthened her determination.After all, Ruth was not a good woman. There was no way she could be the Combat Department's Lieutenant General if she were a good person. Besides, the reinforcements from the Crimson Order were arriving soon. Since they would eventually deal with the Orlandos, Ruth felt that she should start with Wince instead. "Stop teasing me, Mr. Orlando." Ruth chuckled. "I'm
