All Chapters of I Married a Beautiful Boss After the Breakup: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

After Elly finished doing Big Sis's makeup, she received a call from the police station. Craig had been officially detained. Shortly afterward, a police officer came to her door, handing her 300 dollars as compensation for the four tires. If she refused this money, Craig would face an even longer detention.Elly sighed in relief, finally able to enjoy some peaceful time. Big Sis had kept her promise and sent two of her henchmen to watch over the beauty salon's surroundings.-The weekend flew by, and Eric delivered lunch to Sylvia on Monday afternoon as usual. The key technical staff at Innova had been trained and could now handle many issues independently, reducing Eric's workload significantly."Maybe you shouldn't bring lunch anymore?" Sylvia said as she ate, looking at Eric. "I promise to have lunch and leave work on time from now on. I don't want to inconvenience you."She felt a bit embarrassed. Having the same man deliver her lunch every day during work hours made her f

"You're hardcore, Eric!" Andy exclaimed.He couldn't believe Eric had managed to send Jasmine away with a bank card containing only 10 dollars. He wondered how Jasmine would react when she saw the account balance.Eric asked, "Andy, can I borrow money from the company account?"He was utterly broke. The bank card with the compensation money from his hometown's land was still with his sister. Sylvia had given him a bank card when they got married, but he stubbornly refused to accept it.After starting Innova Tech, he invested 10,000 dollars as initial capital and spent the rest over the past month.Andy widened his eyes in shock. "Eric, seriously? You are driving a Mercedes-Benz S-Class and want to borrow from the company?"Eric didn't seem short on funds, no matter how he looked at it. He hadn't even put a license plate on his car yet."I'm dead serious," Eric replied. "The car was a gift from Sylvia. You know my situation. Even if we split the profits at the end of the year, I

Andy seemed to sense it, but he chose to ignore the feeling.Today, Big Sis brought some friends along to help with the business.When Eric saw Sylvia assisting Elly, he pulled Andy to the side with an exasperated expression. "What's going on with you? I treat you like a brother, and now you're pursuing my sister?"Andy grinned playfully. "Well, brothers-in-law are like brothers, too."Eric rolled his eyes and said, "Given my sister's situation, you should save your efforts. You two just aren't a suitable match!"Andy was single, and his sister had two sons. They just weren't compatible.Andy waved it off. "No worries. Relationships take time to develop."Eric was baffled. He couldn't grasp what Andy saw in his sister.Andy was younger than Eric and now his business partner. He didn't have to worry about finding a wife.Changing the topic, Andy asked, "Let's talk about something else. Have you heard back from the equipment manufacturers regarding your suggestions?"Eric shook

Sylvia sneered. "Isn't it convenient timing?"Eric frowned, finding it strange, too. But his concern for his grandmother made him push aside his suspicion.Sylvia continued. "Remember last time when Mayor Jenkins asked us to return? I overheard your uncle asking him to return to him 20,000 dollars, which happens to match our donation. Then there's the missing certificate and the over 7,000 dollars he pocketed. It's raising questions about Grandma's illness. "The motive seems simple. They want the land compensation money. My hunch is they'll keep coming back, maybe even demand another 10,000 dollars in a few days, until they've emptied the pot."Eric frowned. Sylvia's argument had merit. Given what had happened in their hometown, Jared and Richard seemed capable of such actions.He suggested, "Let's visit the hospital later. We can ask the doctor whether it's true or not."Sylvia smiled and shook her head, "They've even prepared a fake medical diagnosis. Asking the doctor would b

Noticing their hesitation, Sylvia spoke up. "What's wrong? Don't you trust us? Let's settle the bill now and wait for the results."Rickard remained silent.Sylvia frowned. "Hmm? The woman inside is your mother. Are you really unwilling to help your own mother?"Sylvia's words drew everyone's attention. Refusing to pay would label them as ungrateful.Rickard finally spoke. "Let's... Let's think it over later."He couldn't believe Sylvia was manipulating them, and he felt frustrated.A woman chimed in. "What's there to think about? Your mother's in the hospital, and you're still hesitating? If you wait, she might not make it! They say raising children is like securing your old age! In my opinion, you're all ungrateful!"This comment attracted more onlookers, and accusatory fingers were pointed at Rickard's group.The crowd grew angrier, especially the elderly folks. One senior with a cane almost struck Rickard.They perhaps had faced similar situations, hence their unusual ange
