“I’ve reported this to the police . ”
Everyone was shocked.
It was Daniel who quickly stepped forward to explain.

“After winning the bid for this diamond ring, Mr. Eric planned to display it at the Nolan Group’s jewelry store. Unfortunately, it was stolen while it was being transported there. Mr. Eric ordered me to report it to the police but…”
Daniel paused and glanced at Yvette.
“The police have yet to find the culprit,” Daniel said.
By now, Yvette’s face had turned pale.
Her lips trembled but she didn’t say a word.
Daniel turned to Eric, “Mr. Eric, should we contact the police now to tell them we have a lead?”
Daniel had only mentioned a lead, without saying that Yvette was the person responsible for the theft.
This was already a sign of respect for the Martinezes.
However, the moment he finished speaking, silence fell in the mansion. Everyone seemed to be holding their breath.
In fact, it was so quiet that one could almost hear the heartbeats of everyone there.
No one really cared about the diamond ring.
However, everyone knew that this time, Eric had offended Yvette.
It was possible that by the next morning, the Martinezes would have severed all their contracts with the Nolans.
In recent years, the Nolan Group had been experiencing issues from both internal and external forces. They had long lost their former glory.
If the Martinezes pulled out from their partnership with the Nolans, it was likely that the Nolans would be faced with additional threats from other companies.
This seemed to be the end for the Nolans.
On the other hand, Alice was quite impressed by Eric.
There was no question that Eric wanted to lead the Nolan Group to regain its former glory.
However, he wasn’t swayed by the opportunity before him and had even offended his best chance.
Alice felt her heart soften a little.

This man was very different from what she had imagined.
He’s … pretty interesting .
Yvette seemed to finally come to her senses.
She was no longer crying.
Instead, there was a look of embarrassment and hatred that crossed her face.

“ Eric, good for you! I will definitely make you pay for the humiliation you made me feel today!” Yvette said before storming off.
No matter how the Nolans tried to pacify her, Yvette didn’t spare them a glance.
Irene was so furious that she nearly had a heart attack. When she finally manged to compose herself, she walked over to Eric. She raised her hand and was about to slap him.
However, Alice stopped her arm in midair.
“How dare you raise your hand to someone older than you?” Irene gritted her teeth and tried to jerk her hand away. However, Alice was stronger.
Alice chuckled coldly before she casually flung Irene’s hand aside.
“Why would I do that? I know better than to give you a chance to accuse me of something.
Irene’s face turned ashen. “You… you…”
“Also, I think Eric didn’t do anything wrong. He has no tolerance for wrongdoing and knows the difference between right and wrong. When there’s a thief, of course, we have to report it to the police . This is something even a child knows. Irene, are you trying to tell Eric to turn a blind eye to what’s right?” Alice said.
Irene was so angry that she was almost gasping for air.
She clutched her chest, her breath still uneven.
Ultimately, she passed out.
“Call an ambulance! Quickly!”
“Eric, you’ve crossed the line,” someone from Matt’s family shouted
“Eric, your behavior today was really…”
Other family members started to berate him as well.
Without any change in emotion, Eric watched as they carried Irene onto a stretcher.
Then, he spoke, “If you want to grovel at the Martinezes‘ feet, I won’t stop you. However…”
Eric’s voice wasn’t loud, but it could be heard from every corner of the house.

115 The Nolans‘ Principles
Every word Eric uttered seemed to land heavily on everyone there.
It was so intense, they felt like they were being suffocated.
After a short pause, Eric spoke again, “The Nolans have their own principles. Don’t complain about the rules when you’re the ones not abiding by them.”
The moment he finished speaking, he took Alice by the arm and said, “Let’s go.”
Alice nodded.
These hypocrites had already worn through her patience.
Irene was rushed to the hospital.
Everyone who was still in the mansion didn’t dare to let out a squeak.
Ruby was the only one who moved, wiping away her tears and walking over to Oscar.
“Looks like all the things I’ve done for this family over the years is a joke to him.”
Sandy tried to comfort Ruby, “Mom, you treat Eric even better than you treat Michael and me. He doesn’t know how to appreciate it. Don’t be upset.”
Sandy tugged at Oscar’s arm.
“Dad, look how upset Mom is. You should say something.”
In fact, Sandy was feeling anxious as well.
Ever since Oscar had regained consciousness, he seemed different.
He no longer went along with anything Ruby said, and he also treated Sandy and Michael coldly.
Hearing what Sandy had said, Oscar’s face was still devoid of any emotion.
It was hard to tell what he was thinking as he said, “I told you not to provoke him. This is the price you pay.”
Oscar had completely prevented Sandy from playing the victim.
Sandy glanced at Ruby, not knowing what to do.
Sandy noticed Ruby’s shocked expression as well, as if she couldn’t believe what she had just heard.
“Oscar,” Ruby called to him softly. “I’m sorry, I didn’t raise her right.
