I Married a Beautiful Boss After the Breakup Chapter 25
"Craig, stop lecturing Eric." Elly came out of the kitchen with a dish in her hands. "What difference does it make even if you're earning more money? Remember what you told me when Dad needed $15,000 for his surgery!? He'd be dead if Eric didn't manage to come up with the money!"Elly wiped off the tears trickling down her cheeks.When the hospital demanded $15,000 for Blake's surgery, she thought of Craig immediately. Elly knew Eric was struggling financially, so it was impossible for him to come up with the money. However, she was utterly disappointed by Craig's response when she asked him for the money.Craig had told her they didn't have the money because they just got a new car, and the old house back in his hometown was still under renovation. Elly knew Craig refused to lend them the money, afraid that he would never get it back.Eric chimed in hastily. "Elly. It's all in the past now. Let's not bring it up anymore. Dad is recovering well. That's all that matters."Elly retu

After dinner, Eric advised Elly to take it easy. He spent some time playing with his nephews before packing food and leaving. When he returned to the hospital, a middle-aged man was waiting for him in the ward. He was none other than Irvin Sonnex."Sorry to disturb you. I bought some gifts for you," said Irvin.Eric fell silent, wondering why Irvin was there. He placed the food on the table and asked his mother to eat before pouring a glass of warm water for Irvin.Eric had a hunch that Irvin had an extraordinary background, but he was still unaware that Irvin was the decision-maker at Sonnex Corp. Although Eric had lost the business card Irvin had given him, he remembered his number and the minimalist design of the card, which only had his name and phone number.Despite having met Irvin only twice, he left a good impression on Eric. Irvin had even bought gifts for Eric, showing his generosity despite not being obligated to do so."Mr. Irvin, you didn't have to. Anyone would have

If Sylvia were inside, her room would be locked. Eric couldn't help but feel worried, especially considering the group of thugs who Sylvia had beaten up. What if they decided to harass her?Concerned for her safety, Eric grabbed the car keys from the table and drove to the Williams Corporation Tower.-Meanwhile, the executives of Williams Corp. were still in a meeting. The atmosphere in the conference room was tense."We have successfully secured the project development in the northern district, which came as a surprise to everyone. I visited Josh Sonnex two days ago, but he failed to recognize me. Obtaining his signature is crucial for approving the land transfer in the northern district."Nevertheless, Irvin Sonnex has different intentions, and if he proceeds with his plans, we won't benefit from it. However, there is still an opportunity for us to reverse the situation. We rely on Josh Sonnex to regain his rationality, and that's why we must continue with the northern district

Sylvester saw Eric was there, so he smiled at Sylvia and said, "Your husband is here, so I'll leave the two of you alone. Make time to bring him back for a meal. Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, and Dad are concerned about this matter."Sylvia pouted. She never expected Eric would show up at the building and wait for her."Let's go home," said Sylvia, hopping on the passenger seat.Eric glanced at Sylvester before getting into the car."Have you eaten?" asked Eric. He realized he had asked a stupid question.Sylvia shook her head quietly in response."Is something bothering you?" asked Eric."You don't have to pay attention to my messages and come pick me up at the office next time," replied Sylvia.Eric sneered and said, "What's wrong with picking you up from the office?"Sylvia glanced at Eric. "According to the agreement, it's clearly stated that we won't interfere with each other's life. What you did was against the rules."Eric was stunned. "This is ridiculous. You're being overbe

"What's wrong, Elly?" asked Eric.Elly looked at Mrs. Johnson and her boys before saying, "Let's talk outside."In the hallway, Elly said, "Craig didn't come home last night. Who would pull an all-nighter for work?"Eric furrowed his brow.Elly then added, "I consulted a few lawyers on the Internet last night. If Craig and I get divorced, half of the house and his savings are mine. But I'm afraid I won't be able to get custody of the boys because I don't have a job now.""Elly, it's just a speculation, so why are you thinking about this? Don't plant the seed of getting a divorce without evidence," said Eric.Elly smiled bitterly. "A woman's sixth sense is always right. Based on Craig's actions for the past six months, he likely has another woman. It's just that I haven't gotten any evidence."Eric let out a sigh. It would not be easy to gather evidence of Craig's infidelity. Moreover, he hoped Craig and Elly would live a good life together. After all, it would be hard on Cody an

Andy stayed at the hospital and had a meal before he left at noon. Eric glanced at the parking lot after Andy had left and realized the business minivan was still there. It seemed like Sylvia had been sitting in the business minivan until noon.Eric thought Sylvia might glance over, but she did not. He quickly dismissed his thoughts and returned to the ward. Cody and Max were taking a nap, so Mrs. Johnson had also gone to get some rest."You are going to start your own company?" asked Elly.It was worth a shot with Andy's connections and Eric's expertise.Eric nodded and said, "Yes, I plan to start my own company. Finding a job is difficult since the industry is going through layoffs now. Moreover, it is an unspoken rule in this industry that people in our line of work will be eliminated at the age of 35. I'm nearly 30, so why not start my own company instead?"Elly sighed and said, "I wish I could help you."She felt helpless and awful for not being able to support Eric financia

Irvin continued. "Eric, let's have a meal together this afternoon to express my gratitude. Please don't refuse."Eric thought for a moment and replied, "Alright."Hearing Eric's agreement, Irvin smiled broadly."I'll pick you up at 5:00 p.m. Please ask your wife to join us as well," Irvin said.Eric scratched his head and said, "I'm not sure if she's available. She's been working overtime for the past two days."Knowing that Irvin would persist if he declined, Eric tried to find a solution."That's alright," Irvin said. "If she's available, ask her to join us. If not, I'll find another time to treat her."-Afternoon arrived, and Eric messaged Sylvia to ask if she wanted to join them for dinner. As expected, Sylvia replied that she didn't have the time. Eric wouldn't have asked Sylvia to join if Irvin hadn't mentioned it. He would have simply informed her that he would be eating out.Initially, Eric thought Irvin might have some influence, but he didn't expect him to have such

Irvin chuckled and said, "Then Uncle Eric it is! I treat Eric like a brother, so it'd be inappropriate to change it now."Eric felt a bit awkward and uncomfortable with Irvin's enthusiasm.Soon, the dishes Irvin had ordered were delivered to the table, along with Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve Bourbon.Eric's unease grew as he saw the table filled with expensive food and liquor. "Mr. Irvin, this is too extravagant!""Ah, it's nothing." Irvin waved his hand. "Let's eat and chat leisurely. Keith, pour us some liquor."Keith didn't refuse. Irvin had told him about how Eric had saved his grandfather, so he felt it was only right to offer a toast. After a few rounds of bourbon, Eric and Irvin started getting tipsy.Misty couldn't bear the atmosphere and left the restaurant. As she walked out, she spotted Brook leaning against a street lamp, smoking a cigarette."Misty!" Brook was delighted to see her and quickly discarded the cigarette, trotting over."Finished eating?" he asked

In terms of innate talent, Eric was unparalleled, having reached the pinnacle of martial arts. With a single punch, he sent the 'God' flying."Good!" Stealthbane shouted with excitement.The ultimate enemy had finally been defeated, bringing peace to the world. Eric sighed in relief.However, in the next moment, the 'God' stood up again. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he revealed a bloodthirsty smile. "You have successfully enraged me!"Everyone braced for a potential massacre, but instead, the enemy turned and fled.Could Eric let him escape?"Chase him!" Stealthbane commanded.Allowing this foe to escape would spell endless trouble.A group of people pursued the enemy, who soon reappeared clad in iron armor."Not seen this before, have you?" The 'God' seemed to have recovered somewhat. "Did you think I only research viruses? Wrong! I control global resources and global wealth!"This is our newly developed Doomforge Exosuit which amplifies a person's battle prowess tenfol

The sturdy floor lay in utter disarray.In desperation, Ruth shouted, "Eric, don't give him any more chances! Finish him off swiftly, or we'll face endless trouble!"Eric was well aware of this logic. As he fought, he said, "He's incredibly strong. Taking him down quickly isn't possible! We must fight to the death!"Eric had never feared battle. Besides, this might very well be his final fight.Their fists clashed fiercely.The 'God' also noticed that Eric was growing more formidable as the battle progressed."How do you have so much strength? Wouldn't it be better if we joined forces to control the world? We could have anything we desire!"All the world's wealth, women, and resources would be ours to enjoy. Why won't you listen to reason?" he roared.Eric's momentum didn't falter. "I don't share your grand ambitions. I just want a simple life with a job that pays 1,000 dollars a month and a warm home with my wife and kids. But you, you've disturbed my peace!"The 'God' was fu

The 'God' grew more courageous as the battle raged on, causing Stealthbane to worry incessantly.In another high-stakes clash, Eric and his opponent both retreated. Eric sensed his opponent's growing strength, finding it rather peculiar.The 'God' clenched his fist. "I must thank you! My techniques were slightly incomplete, but I've managed to fill the gaps through this battle!"Eric marveled at his opponent's genius. To mend something incomplete was indeed a rare talent.Despite Eric training with the complete manual, he could only match the 'God' blow for blow. This person was terrifying!The opponent's confidence soared. Although Eric had trained with the full manual, the 'God' felt his innate talent far surpassed Eric's. If he could match Eric with an incomplete manual, now that he had perfected it, wouldn't he be unbeatable?"I thought you had potential and considered inviting you to share this world with me," the 'God' said, his tone turning icy. "But now, I see it's unnece

Stealthbane even felt that Eric might not be a match for the "God."The power was overwhelming.The terrifying aura was enough to crush everything. To an ordinary person, this was a real deity—the strength possessed had already transcended human limits.Eric made his move with a burst of speed. The clash of their fists created a thunderous explosion, and the sound was so intense that Stealthbane felt his eardrums might shatter.This was a battle of the highest caliber, one that even a legend like Stealthbane could not hope to join.Seeing the two evenly matched, Stealthbane sighed in relief. At least there was a chance that the strongest combatants were neutralizing each other. The outcome was still uncertain.Eric shook his aching fist, his expression grave. The opponent's strength was as he had anticipated. If the ultimate boss of the Luminous did not possess such combat power, it would be absurd.Clearly, this "God" had also gauged Eric's strength.He extended a hand toward

Stealthbane knew that the figure facing them must be the ultimate leader of the Luminous.Suddenly, he no longer wanted to die. If he could hold on just a little longer, it would all be over."Mr. Johnson, these people don't seem ordinary. Could that leader be the ultimate figure of the Luminous? Are we about to complete the game?" he whispered.To him, this mission to the Ark felt like a game: defeat the final boss, and victory is achieved."If I'm not mistaken, it should be. This person gives me... a sense of danger," Eric said.Upon hearing this, Stealthbane felt reassured.Just a sense? That meant the problem wasn't too grave!The leader on the opposite side turned to Eric. "I didn't expect you to make it this far. I underestimated your strength, believing my Ark was impregnable, that no enemy could breach it. But why are you so persistent? Why such determination?"He suddenly screamed in a fit of hysteria, "I have so many people! Such a grand scheme! It has all succeeded!

Brent shouted desperately, "After you get on your knees, they'll kill you all, and we won't survive either! Kill them! Kill them all!"He understood the situation with stark clarity. Kneeling meant certain death. If they had to die anyway, fighting back would be their only chance of survival.Eric sighed. "Mr. Rogers, in the end, it was we who implicated you. But this place must be eradicated, and the Luminous must be destroyed as well! Everyone, attack!"As the battle commenced, the masked man immediately struck Brent with a punch.Eric charged in. "Die!"He knew that Brent was unlikely to survive. This punch was his way of avenging Brent.The masked man spun around, trying to block Eric's punch. But the speed of the blow was too much—the gust of wind from the punch arrived before the fist did.It was an instant kill.The masked man had no time to react before Eric's punch collided with his chest. The terrifying force shattered the mask on the man's face, revealing an unfamili

Stealthbane was blinded by rage. He was killing anyone in sight, his fury unrelenting. They had ventured deep into enemy territory, where every encounter seemed to be with an adversary.Eric and his team from the Combat Department showed no mercy.Yet even Stealthbane's resolve was wearing thin."I can't kill them all! It feels like every master in the world is concentrated here!" he shouted in frustration.He felt the number of people he had brought was insufficient. If he had brought a few thousand more, he might have been able to overrun the place.Stealthbane was overwhelmed by the sheer horror of their situation. Fortunately, they had arrived. If anyone else had come, they would have met their end here.The numbers of the masters seemed endless."Damn it!" Stealthbane cursed angrily. "There are too many of them, and they're all exceptionally powerful. What kind of game is this?"He was tempted to retreat, but where could he go?Eric sent an enemy flying, pushing forward

"I was opposed to coming in from the start, but as you all know, the Rogers family is extremely complex. If we hadn't entered, I might have ended up dead. At least if the virus isn't a threat, that's something!" Brent poured himself a cup of coffee and continued. "These people are ruthless! They want to kill everyone outside the Ark and establish a new order, managed by a select few. It's insane!"You don't need to tell me—I know you're here to kill them."He then pulled a small token from his pocket. "This is our Rogers family's privilege here. It allows us to move freely between different levels. With this, you can go anywhere!"Stealthbane grabbed it eagerly. "Why didn't you mention this earlier? Things will go much smoother with this!"Brent sighed. "Once you've handled everything, could you take me out with you? I really don't want to stay in this dreadful place any longer.""Sure!" Eric nodded. "We'll definitely call you when we leave. For now, we're heading out."Brent e

Everything was ready, but they couldn't just walk in.Ruth instructed the Combat Department to conduct a three-day intensive training for everyone, focusing on coordinated combat.-After three days, the forces led by Stealthbane moved out, first dismantling the outer defenses of the Ark. This was their specialty!A large group of several hundred arrived in front of the Ark's entrance. At first glance, it resembled a mountain.Jack scratched his head and said, "Is this the gate? I don't see any door."The Holy Templar's people arrived as well. St. Pius said, "Everyone, don't rush. Wait for two minutes. Once the gate opens, we need to get in quickly. I have other plans inside, but once we're in, it's going to be a life-or-death battle! No one should show any mercy!"Stealthbane flexed his fists and replied, "Do I look like a good guy to you? Just watch me deal with them!"No sooner had he spoken than there was a tremendous roar. The ground shook, and the door of the Ark swung
