Eric held Sylvia close and said, "I don't care about your beauty, even though you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. That's not what matters to me."Sylvia was very happy, whether or not Eric's words were true. For him, her beauty and wealth didn't matter. What truly mattered was the journey they had been through together and the care she showed him.Eric didn't fully grasp the concept of love, but this would be it if love had a shape. At least, that's how it felt to him.They spent the evening playing with the children before returning to the nail salon.Andy hadn't returned since they left in the morning, surprising Eric with his compliance. However, it seemed Andy still hadn't realized his mistake. One should never tell a woman she had gained weight. Elly had been taking care of the children, so a little weight gain was normal.-Eric and Sylvia returned to the Rosewood Estate around 9:00 p.m.Sylvia immediately called Brook to ask if anyone had been following them t

"Well, I've definitely come out ahead this time!" Sylvia exclaimed joyfully.Eric chuckled. "I'm even better off. I married a beautiful and wealthy wife. I'm the ultimate winner in life!"The two of them chatted and soon arrived at the nail salon.Andy was there again, but this time Elly ignored him. When he saw Sylvia and Eric, he scratched his head and looked at Eric pleadingly.Eric raised an eyebrow, thinking that Andy really had patience when it came to his sister. She kicked him out yesterday, yet there he was again. However, Eric also knew that determination and persistence were important when trying to win someone over.Eric pulled Andy aside and asked, "Andy, what did you do to upset my sister yesterday?"Andy looked puzzled and replied, "Upset her? I don't think so! I thought she was mad at me because I didn't stop Craig from entering the nail salon."Andy's inability to understand women rendered Eric speechless.He said, "Think carefully. Try to remember everything t

Brook sensed that Tiger was talking about Eric. After all, Tiger only regarded Eric as a skilled martial artist.Tiger's face grew serious. "Find out for me. If you discover the culprit, bring them to me, and I'll handle them personally.""Yes, sir!" His subordinates scattered to investigate, but Tiger already had a suspicion.Brook pondered and asked, "Mr. Kirkby, do you know who did this?"Tiger scoffed. "Someone seeks revenge on me! But this is Salt City, my turf!"Brook sighed in relief. If someone sought revenge on Tiger, there must have been bad blood between them. Yet, there didn't seem to be any enmity between Eric and Tiger.From Tiger's words, it appeared to be someone else, but who?Suddenly, a name popped into Brook's mind. But why would Lucas target Tiger? Did he have what it took to defeat him?"I'll have my people assist you," Brook offered.Tiger nodded, accepting the help. They were all part of Salt City's underworld, and when faced with outside threats, they

"It was him." Tiger nodded. "I've figured it out. After he killed my fighter, he knew I'd send someone to investigate. So, he ambushed me while my forces were weak. It was a clever plan. He asked me to join him and fight against the Williams and Sonnexes, but I refused. I think he's seeking revenge now because of the heavy losses the Pettersons suffered."Tiger explained the reasons behind the attack, believing it was the most likely scenario. After defeating him and taking his place, Lucas could control the Salt City underworld and go after the Williams and Sonnexes."This man is ruthless. He's still using the same old tricks from years ago," Tiger warned. "Brook, you must be cautious."Brook nodded gravely. Tiger referred to a time when brute strength ruled, and the strongest fists called the shots. However, times had changed, and large-scale brawls were no longer viable. The police would swiftly intervene, and those who resisted would end up behind bars.This was why Tiger hadn'

After they got into the car, Sylvia remarked, "It seems Gavin doesn't want to be your enemy anymore since he invited you to dinner."Gavin kept apologizing to Eric during dinner, who didn't think much of it. After the main culprits had faced justice, Gavin's apologies felt less significant, especially after a month had passed since the events concluded. Apologizing at this point felt somewhat overdue.Eric had some wine, so Sylvia drove them back to the Rosewood Estate, with several cars closely following.Eric noticed the cars in the rearview mirror and frowned."Could you drive a bit faster?" Eric requested.Sylvia glanced at the rearview mirror but didn't notice anything unusual. She chuckled. "It's still early. Why the rush?"Eric was speechless. "It's not what you think. We're being followed. Let's head to the police station."Eric wanted to see if these people would follow him there.Sylvia didn't argue and quickly called Brook. After confirming it wasn't his people follo
