Chapter 1456
The sharp command startled Martha. But when she saw Bryce, she was even more frightened out of her wits!The dagger in her hand fell to the ground, and she kept stepping back. "Who are you? Are you a human or a ghost? Who are you?!"She clutched her head, hysterical.The appearance of Bryce had greatly frightened her. She had assumed Bryce had long been dead. After eliminating Larry, the Pentra family would be hers. But she hadn't expected Bryce to be alive and well.This meant her original plan had completely failed. She wasn't the one controlling the situation.Larry sighed too. In the end, he had miscalculated. None of his moves had succeeded. Bryce wasn't killed, nor were the people of the Innova Group.With Eric's current identity as the Lieutenant General of the Combat Department and his invincible combat power, the Pentra family lost completely. The people from the Combat Department quickly brought Lora over, fearing Martha's psychotic outbreak and violence. She couldn't
Chapter 1457
"I'll check first," Pierce said.The information the Combat Department had on aristocratic families was not extensive. At least, not specific enough. Many details were still unknown.Take the Pentra family, for example—among the information Pierce had had on them, Bryce was a legend, but the name of the other legend remained elusive.-Eric awaited news.Before that, he had to return to Salt City. With the collapse of the Pentra family, the affairs in Westlake City had come to an end.John and other distributors came once again to thank Eric and Sylvia, as well as the Innova Group, escorting them to the airport.-In Salt City, Eric commenced comprehensive treatment for Vince's injuries. Despite years of martial arts practice, Vince had never experienced injuries as severe as this, aside from previously damaged tendons and bones. Now, with a broken arm added to the list, Eric's medical expertise came into play. Resetting bones proved to be a manageable task for him—it merely ne

Knowing that Tobias was also Lora's father, Eric felt somewhat impolite just dropping by like this.Seating himself, he began to explain, "Prof. Kensington, the thing is, I didn't know you were Lora's father. I came today to treat the scars on her face..."Tobias snorted coldly, "I've been feeling lately like my daughter's acting strange like she's caught up in some romance. We've asked, but she won't say. Could it be you're her boyfriend?"If Eric hadn't been married, Tobias wouldn't have minded. Over these years at Salt City University, if one were to talk about success, Eric's name would inevitably come up.The university had invited him several times to give speeches to the younger students about entrepreneurship and employment, but Eric had always been too busy. Besides, Eric himself didn't know what to say.The establishment of the Innova Group was entirely Andy's idea. Without Andy taking the lead, there wouldn't have been the Innova Group.Meanwhile, his career those firs

Tobias was somewhat surprised, "Eric, you know medicine too? That wasn't your major in college. Besides, Salt City University doesn't offer such a major, does it?"Eric chuckled. "It's a long story. I met a gifted holistic physician later on, who became my mentor. I learned a few things from him, so dealing with scars and such is not a problem."He instructed Lora to wash her face first before beginning the treatment.When Lora saw the silver needles, she was a bit nervous, but a glance at Eric reassured her.She thought, 'Wouldn't it be nice if life could just be like this forever?'"Don't move around too much, and try to keep your facial expressions as steady as possible," Eric advised.Lora's injury was recent, so completely removing the scar wouldn't be too difficult or time-consuming for Eric.After Eric finished the treatment, Tobias confirmed that Eric indeed knew medicine.'This fellow knows so much. Isn't he the CIO of the company? How did he become a physician?'He c
Chapter 1460
As Eric departed, Tobias' expression darkened.It was an unpleasant turn of events.He turned to Lora, his tone edged with concern, "Lora, do you harbor feelings for Eric? We have no family ties in Westlake City, yet he was there, and so were you. Don't tell me you're indifferent to him."He expected Lora to refute his assumption, considering Eric's marital status and fatherhood.To his surprise, Lora nodded affirmatively. "Dad, you're correct. I do have feelings for him. There's a certain allure about him that sets him apart from others."Isn't it the same for you, Dad? Mom mentioned the countless admirers you had in your college days."Tobias felt a flush of embarrassment.Why dredge up ancient history now?He sighed heavily. "I understand your sentiments, but love is akin to a flame attracting moths. You've been taught to be bold from a young age and not to just have courage but also act upon it."Eric is undeniably remarkable. From his humble college days to establishing t

Julius sat down and lit a cigarette, sighing. "Nera, all these years, I've wronged you."Upon hearing that, Nera felt like crying.Indeed, she had suffered greatly over the years.For many years of marriage, she and Julius had always slept in separate rooms. Not once during these years had Julius touched her, not even on their wedding night.Nera knew she was merely a sacrificial lamb in the family's arranged marriage. She understood that Julius' heart was solely set on Grace, unwaveringly so for years.With Eric's appearance later on, Nera knew she stood even less of a chance.However, she didn't complain. She understood that complaining wouldn't change anything. At most, it would only incur Julius's resentment, making her days in the Hernandez family even more difficult.Meanwhile, she could not return to the Calles family."How have you wronged me?" Nera sat down. "Life is short, just a few decades. However it goes on. I've come to terms with it. If one day you and Grace rec
Chapter 1462
Julius was puzzled and perplexed. For so many years, no one in the Hernandez family had mentioned distant relatives. Why did they suddenly appear today?Bartholomew declared, "We have learned that in King City, your family is merely a major one. Our family has plans to exhaust all resources to elevate you to the position of a top-tier family!"Julius narrowed his eyes. He didn't even recognize this person before him, let alone anything about their family. And now they claimed they would elevate the Hernandezes to the status of a top-tier family in King City? Was there such a thing in this world?Bartholomew didn't know that Julius no longer cared whether the Hernandezes became a top-tier family. It didn't matter. But if someone else wanted them to become a top-tier family, there must be ulterior motives.Julius was not stupid—he knew that a pie wouldn't fall from the sky for no reason. He asked, "What are your demands?"He was quite curious about this person before him. Mainly bec
Chapter 1463
Jacob tried to get up, his nose and mouth bleeding from the beating. Vince was injured and Matthew had not come to the Innova Group, giving the young man an opportunity.Eric came down and saw Jacob lying on the ground."You bastard! You think you can walk away without coughing up a fortune for this mess?"Jacob, an Innova security guard, was now lying on the ground demanding money from others. Oddly enough... it kind of made sense. After all, he had tried to intervene and couldn't beat the other party, so it wasn't entirely his fault."Little punk, you think you have the upper hand?" The young man seethed, moving to strike Jacob again.But as he took a step forward, he collided with Eric. He looked up fiercely, demanding, "And who the hell are you?"The receptionist hurried over to Eric. "Mr. Johnson, he claims to be from the Hernandez family and insists on seeing you. When I asked if he had an appointment, he started getting physical with me!"Eric's expression darkened. He ha
