However, he also knew he could not kill the man before him.Francis shouted, "Eric! This has nothing to do with my family!""It has nothing to do with your family? Do you think I'm a fool?" Eric retorted. "You better shut up now before it's too late."Francis hurriedly lowered his head and kept his mouth shut.The man continued. "The Oberdeens are just a pawn for us. We released the virus at Dortmund to test the lethality of the genetic weapon. Earning money was only secondary."Understanding instantly dawned upon Eric. It was as he and Sylvia had speculated from the beginning. They would release the virus first, then the cure, so they could make a huge profit!This

Queenie arrived at the Combat Department's prison to meet Francis. Her emotions toward him were complex. Their relationship had been normal before she became pregnant with Coulson.However, Francis' actions, along with the Oberdeens after Coulson's birth, left her with lingering resentment that persisted to this day. What worsened matters was the Oberdeens' attempt to manipulate her to cause discord between Eric and the Williams.Queenie now understood the Oberdeens' motives. They knew about Eric's prominence in holistic medicine and the virus outbreaks in Dortmund City and Salt City. Thus, their priority was to eliminate Eric.When Francis saw Queenie, Connor, and Coulson, his eyes brightened. Before Queenie could speak, he beat her to it. "Queenie, perfect timing! Ask Connor to talk to Eric! Our families have a strong bond! There's no need for conflict!"He hoped Queenie would advocate for them. Connor had briefed Queenie about Eric's various identities and cautiously inquired ab

Upon hearing this, Queenie's eyes welled with tears.Despite her strained relationship with Francis, she couldn't deny their shared familial bond. The years of nurturing love couldn't be erased in an instant. People were inherently emotional, and the connection between a father and daughter was deeply ingrained.-In the afternoon, Connor and Queenie returned to Salt City.Meanwhile, the batch of drugs produced by the Oberdeens was swiftly shipped to Dortmund City and Salt City.Eric had remained in King City as the interrogation process was ongoing. He brought Leopard to visit Seth. Jaden had entered junior high school with Leopard's help and lived not far from the school.

Alexander sighed and said, "Eric, what's done is done. We all know that your father doesn't have a good relationship with his current wife. For so many years, they haven't had a child, and back then, he was forced to marry that woman."It's understandable that people often resort to desperate measures during emergency times. But things might be different now if he hadn't married that woman back then. Anyway, not everyone can decide what they want in their life. Many times, circumstances force their hands." Eric remained silent. He understood the logic behind what Alexander was saying but could not accept it. He had thought about forgiving Julius, but it seemed impossible for him to do so.Naturally, he was aware that he was also protecting Julius subconsciously. Otherwise, he would not have instructed someone to break the bones of the ones who had beaten Julius up. "Uncle Alexander, let's not talk about it," Eric said. "He's not a child anymore, and as the saying goes, 'You reap

Sylvia said, "It's okay, Mom. We can take care of our daughter ourselves. Besides, nobody is born knowing how to take care of a child. I've already informed people that we'll set up a nursery at our house after the lockdown is lifted. There won't be any issues!" Amelia chuckled. "Do you think taking care of a child is that simple? Wiping their bottoms and changing diapers are just routine operations! Some children like to cry at night, just like Brook and Connor. Back then, it took a lot of effort for me to take care of them. Your father had to manage the company, and I was overwhelmed. Sometimes, I was so tired that I felt like crying!"She knew that her daughter had not experienced such things. After all, taking care of a child was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.She continued. "Infants have weak immunity, and it's common for them to cry and fuss when they have a fever. It can be exhausting! I don't think you can handle that. Besides, I've already decided which brand o

Eric finally had some time for himself after the Oberdeens had been taken down. In his leisure moments, he accompanied Sylvia to read books. A few days later, Salt City finally lifted the lockdown as effective control measures had significantly reduced the number of virus infections.Everyone in Salt City was overjoyed. Even Connor took Coulson out for a walk. The news spread like wildfire. The message about the resumption of work was also announced in the communication group of the Innova Group.-When all the Innova employees arrived in the morning, they saw Eric, Sylvia, Andy, and several executives standing there.Before they could speak, Sylvia handed each of them a check and greeted them, "Welcome back!"Distributing money directly was more effective than shouting slogans and painting a rosy picture. The Innova Group believed that its employees deserved this treatment.Besides, many people had died in Dortmund City because of the virus. Although the death toll in Salt C

"Ms. Williams—" Just when one executive wanted to ask Sylvia why she wanted to step down, another person chimed in. "Ms. Williams has to step down. I heard she's pregnant, and this child is a hard-won blessing!""What?!" The executive quickly said, "Congratulations, Ms. Williams and Mr. Johnson!"There were some internal rumors spreading in the Innova Group stating that Sylvia and Eric had been trying for a child for a long time. Now that she was pregnant, all of them showered her with blessings."Thank you, everyone," Sylvia replied with a smile.The news about Sylvia stepping down as the CEO quickly spread within the Innova Group. Some expressed regret and said, "Ms. Williams is so capable, why step down? Without her leadership, I don't think the Innova Group would have developed to this point."Sylvia's leadership was one of the main reasons the Innova Group could grow rapidly. It could be said that the company would not have reached its current status without her guidance.
