They presented Eric with photos of the six culprits for identification. After examining each photo, Eric nodded and confirmed, "Yes, it's them."He picked out one of the photos from the stack and pointed, saying, "This person is their leader. He's the one who stabbed me."Observing Eric's confident identification, one of the police officers asked, "Think carefully. Have you recently made any enemies? We reviewed the surveillance footage, and this group of thugs specifically targeted you, waiting for nearly an hour. It appears to be a planned and deliberate attack.""A targeted attack?" Eric furrowed his brow. "I haven't offended anyone lately except for David Westman, the owner of Westman Technology. I can't think of anyone else I've offended."The two officers exchanged glances."We've initiated city-wide surveillance. If those six individuals appear, we'll definitely apprehend them. Regarding this David Westman you mentioned, we will question him later," one of the officers assu

Elly couldn't fathom what kind of family could afford such an expensive foundation. If a small bottle of foundation was already so expensive, she couldn't imagine the prices of the other products. Afraid of the answer, she didn't dare to ask any further.Soon, Sylvia finished applying her makeup and looked at Elly. "Elly, the makeup you're wearing doesn't really suit you. Can I help you and give it a try?"Elly smiled awkwardly. "But I didn't bring any of my own makeup.""No problem! Use mine!" Sylvia pulled Elly in front of the mirror and said, "First, let's shape your brows properly."She picked up an eyebrow razor and carefully shaped Elly's brows. It wasn't the same razor Sylvia had hidden under her pillow.If Eric had seen this scene, he would have been shocked. Sylvia was a clean freak, after all. Yet she was using her own makeup products on Elly! It was unbelievable!However, it was a well-known fact that women enjoyed playing with makeup. The makeup session lasted a full

"This..." Elly pursed her lips, her expression filled with concern. "It's a gift from a friend. You didn't receive any transaction notification, right?"Her fear was starting to creep in. Spending over $1,000 on two eyebrow pencils seemed extravagant. Money wasn't meant to be spent like this unless you were incredibly wealthy."Hmph!" Craig snorted, his displeasure evident. "A friend? What kind of friend would give you such expensive items, especially considering they're consumable?"His irritation grew, and he began to wonder if Elly was having an affair. Spending over $1,000 on eyebrow pencils seemed far more extravagant than anything he had ever done for her."That's right!" Elly made up her mind. "I've found someone who treats me well! He's the owner of a cosmetic company. See? He did my makeup, and the eyebrow pencils were a gift from him!"Jealous, huh? Craig, what have you ever given me? I paid for the house and renovations. What have you given me on my birthdays or our ann

Elly smiled. "Dad, Eric broke up with Jasmine a long time ago. His wife is really nice, much better than Jasmine by a million times."Mr. Johnson took a sip of wine and replied, "That brat, he broke up with Jasmine and immediately got married to someone else. I bet he already had a backup plan while he was still with Jasmine. Elly, when you have the chance, call him over. I want to have a talk with him."Elly was rendered speechless. How could her father think that way?"Dad, it's not Eric's fault. There are hidden reasons behind it. I'll tell you when the time is right. Eric is not the person you think he is," Elly explained.Elly knew their father managed to stay in a private ward because of Sylvia, and Sylvia must have her reasons for not visiting their parents. After all, she even kept it from Eric.Sylvia confided in Elly, and the latter saw no reason to spread it around. How could they maintain a good relationship with Sylvia in the future if she did?"Young people these da

No wonder Irvin insisted on becoming sworn brothers with Eric, even though Eric had saved him casually. Josh's existence was crucial to the Sonnex family.If anyone wanted to target the family, they had to consider Josh's identity and connections before making a move. Moreover, anyone planning to deal with the Sonnex family had to take Josh into consideration as well.Josh was undoubtedly the pillar of strength for the Sonnex family. As long as that pillar remained, the Sonnex family would stand tall and unyielding!"Do you now understand why Irvin treats you so well?" Sylvia asked.Eric nodded, realizing that if he brought up the land issue in the northern suburbs to Irvin, the latter would most likely agree. Since he had saved Josh, Irvin had no reason to reject him. Josh himself had promised the land.Eric sighed and said, "It would be great if you were the CEO of Williams Corps."Sylvia's heart skipped a beat."Why do you say that?" she asked.Eric smiled and replied, "Just

That night, Sylvia remained by Eric's bedside, tending to his needs and ensuring he had water whenever he desired. The water tasted sweeter than usual, providing comfort to both of them.The following day, Elly arrived at the hospital after dropping off the boys at school. Curious about her appearance, she asked Sylvia, "How's my makeup today?"Sylvia examined Elly's makeup and replied, "A few areas could be improved. Let me fix it for you."Eric observed the interaction between the two women, surprised at their newfound camaraderie. He wondered when Elly and Sylvia had grown so close. It seemed that women had many common topics to bond over.A wry smile formed on Eric's face as he watched Sylvia use her makeup products on Elly. He couldn't help but wonder what had happened to her obsession with cleanliness.Meanwhile, as the nurse came in to change Eric's dressing, his phone began to ring.Sylvia glanced at the phone and handed it to Eric, thinking about his strong relationship

The man sitting there was none other than Sylvia's father, Henry Williams. Next to him sat Amelia Campbell, an elegant middle-aged beauty and Sylvia's mother. Also present were Sylvia's grandparents, an elderly man and a woman.Sylvia took a seat on the couch and asked, "Dad, is there something urgent?"Henry nodded and said, "Sylvia, we rarely interfere in your affairs, but Sylvester told me something that concerns us this morning."We don't object to your choice, whoever it may be. However, it's been over a month now. Shouldn't you at least introduce him to us?"Sylvia scratched her head awkwardly. So that was the reason they called her back?Henry continued. "We didn't bring it up earlier because we understood why you got married. However, according to Connor, you seem to have developed feelings for Eric. If that's the case, why not bring him to meet us?"Sylvia glared at her third brother, Connor, and retorted, "Dad, don't listen to Connor's nonsense. Only puppies develop fee

Sylvia hesitated to immediately return to the hospital for fear of encountering Irvin, which would jeopardize her cover. After all, lies and deceptions often left people disheartened.-Meanwhile, at the hospital. Irvin hurriedly arrived with an assistant carrying many expensive supplements from his home. Josh couldn't consume such a large quantity."Eric, you scared me! What happened? Why were you stabbed?" Irvin expressed genuine concern."I was on my way back to the company with a contract from Williams Corp. As I was leaving, I was ambushed by a group of people. I couldn't let them capture me, so I fought back, and one of them stabbed me," Eric explained."Damn it!" Irvin angrily cursed. "I'll immediately investigate this matter! Whoever did this will face the consequences!"Eric quickly added, "Big Bro, the police are already looking into it. There shouldn't be any problem since they have the surveillance footage.""I don't trust their efficiency!" Irvin fumed. He turned
