If Eric were to utilize his authority and connections, he could undoubtedly secure substantial orders for the Innova Group. The domestic market alone could bring a lot of profit to the Innova Group. However, Eric had refrained from doing so as he did not want the thing that Sylvia mentioned from happening.While initially presenting as a device manufacturer, the Innova Group had progressively transitioned to becoming a communication solution provider in recent years. After all, the production of devices was bound to reach a saturation point sooner or later, but solutions were always a valuable and huge market.Pierce chuckled. "It's all for the sake of information security. The Innova Group's technology and devices have been market-tested. In fact, the military has tested your equipment, and the testing team provided high praise. As for your concern, it's an even smaller issue. You just do what you have to do. You don't have to care about what other people say!" Sylvia glanced at E

This was life. The poor had their struggles, and the wealthy had their worries. Eric did not exactly yearn for the days when he earned only 1,000 dollars a month, as that was the darkest chapter in his life that he had rather not revisit.The Innova Group had enough employees to handle all the projects, so Eric did not have to constantly supervise the operation.While Andy and Elly were still on their honeymoon, the care of the two children fell temporarily to Eric and Sylvia.In the evening, Eric even had to help his nephews with their homework, which he found less than enjoyable.When Cody said that they still had to review and correct their homework, Eric was irritated. He asked, "Honey, back when we were in elementary school, did the teacher not correct the homework themselves? Why do parents have to do it?"He was rather exasperated. It would be acceptable if parents merely had to check whether the child had completed the homework, but making parents review it was a bit too m
Chapter 1221
After teaching the boys to finish their homework, Eric felt exhausted. They were just in elementary school, yet he felt some of the questions were deep.Instead of enhancing children's learning capabilities, the questions seemed more like brain teasers, playing around with words. How could elementary school children understand these things?...After sending the boys to school in the morning, Eric dropped Sylvia off at the Williams residence to keep her company while Eric went to work. After all, it was livelier at the Williams residence, and Sylvia was bored at home alone.When Eric arrived at the Innova Group, Jacob actually showed up for work! His injuries might have improved quite a bit, but it still wasn't time for him to return to work yet."What are you doing here? Are all your injuries healed? If something happens, who's going to be responsible?"Jacob smiled. "I'm here to work. If I don't work, I'll have to go hungry."Eric frowned. He had heard from Andy that Jacob had

Jacob was asking for trouble. He was broke, so he had to settle all of his meals in the company's cafeteria. After lunch, he called Andy to ask for money.Unfortunately, Andy and Elly were enjoying their honeymoon, so Andy didn't answer his call. Andy also knew that Jacob was calling to ask for money.Since Jacob was penniless, he had no choice but to turn to Eric. After all, he wasn't familiar with the new security guard."Mr. Johnson!" He knocked on the door with a smile and entered Eric's office.Eric was preparing to take a nap.He glanced at Jacob and asked, "What's up?""Mr. Johnson, do you have some money on you?"He was feeling a bit embarrassed.Eric drove a pricey car, so Jacob thought that someone like him should have some money on him.Eric instantly knew what Jacob wanted to do. "You want to borrow money? I don't have any money."Jacob exclaimed, "Really, Mr. Johnson? My brother told me that your car costs a fortune, and you have a private plane. It costs million
Chapter 1223
Jacob hesitated before saying, "Actually, that money... was all spent on Ava."Eric was stunned.He thought Jacob must have spent some money on Ava but didn't expect him to spend over 30,000 dollars on her!Even Elly hadn't spent more than 1,000 dollars on herself. She had some bags that cost a few hundred dollars, but with Andy's income, he could easily afford such an expense.Eric looked Jacob up and down. He was wearing sportswear and canvas shoes, probably costing him less than 30 dollars in total. He couldn't help but marvel at Jacob's generosity.Jacob smiled at Eric. "Mr. Johnson, the 50 bucks..."Eric smiled and pushed the money toward Jacob. "Take it.""Thank you, Mr. Johnson!" Eric assumed Jacob would be thrifty. To his surprise, Jacob hailed a taxi directly to his residence after dining at Innova Group in the afternoon.-A little after 2:00 p.m., Max's teacher called Eric and asked him to come to the school. Before Andy and Elly left for their honeymoon, they had

Unbeknownst to Lora, she had encountered a tough opponent.When it came to reasoning, Eric hadn't feared anyone yet. "Guardians have their responsibilities, and teachers have theirs. Saying that if guardians aren't responsible, teachers can shirk their responsibilities is just shifting the blame."Teachers and guardians should cooperate with each other, accompanying the students in their growth, shouldn't they? Just because you've encountered irresponsible guardians, does that mean you can neglect the students?"Lora was dumbfounded. She should be saying this to guardians, yet Eric turned the tables against her. She was at a loss for words again.Eric continued. "I know a teacher's job is demanding. You have to prepare lessons regularly and continue learning, but these aren't excuses."In the students' minds, what the teacher says is much more effective than what parents say. Parents can repeat something ten times, and the child may not remember. However, if the teacher teaches it

Lora nodded. "Of course, I know. All the teachers know that the Innova Group has established an education fund specifically to help those impoverished students."Eric said, "The Innova Group is estimated to have a revenue of 110 billion this year, and it will increase next year."One of the co-founders and CEOs of the Innova Group is Max's stepfather. As far as I know, his stepfather treats Max very well. So, Ms. Kensington, are you still worried about Max's future?"Lora was stunned.She had seen Andy pick up Max before but never thought he was the CEO of the Innova Group. Whenever Andy came to pick up Max, he would park the car far away, mainly because the school was crowded during school hours. More importantly, it was for safety.Eric's words made her uncomfortable, leaving her at a loss. But she was stubborn."As you said, he is his stepfather!" she said.Eric smiled. "Ms. Kensington, I also happen to be one of the co-founders of and CIO of the Innova Group. As his uncle, w

Seeing the missed call from Jacob, Andy knew what it was about. Besides money, what else could it be?He was curious. Jacob had just taken over 30,000 dollars from the hospital, and he had spent it all in just a few days? Eric had nothing to hide. "He came to me, asking for 50 bucks. It seems he's in dire straits. Oh, that fella spent over 30,000 dollars on Ava."Andy was rendered speechless.This was something he never expected. He did not ask for compensation or want the other party to go to prison, and he even gave the money to Ava?!"Eric, he's really hopeless! If he asks you for money again, just ignore him!"Andy was infuriated that Jacob had turned out like this. Although he told Eric to ignore Jacob, he knew he couldn't just ignore Jacob himself. If he really ignored Jacob, he might starve to death. If he didn't starve, then Jacob would start down the path of crime."Alright. You guys have fun outside. Tell Elly that everything is fine with the boys, so she won't worry.
