Sandy didn’t dare to continue criticizing Eric; she was afraid it would only make things harder for Hubry.
As such, Sandy remained silent and listened.
Oscar scoffed and said, “That’s true. Sandy learned some hacking skills but somehow failed to learn some basic morals. You failed to teach her the most important things.”
Sandy’s expression stiffened.
“Dad, I…”
Ruby spoke in a choked voice, “All these years I’ve been worrying about you, so I neglected her. The good thing is that you’re now up and about. In the future, you can take over.”
Oscar asked, “You mean it?”
Ruby nodded as if she was certain that he wouldn’t involve himself in such matters.
“I can’t do much anymore. She’s all grown up
now.”
Oscar waved his hand as a sign for Ruby to stop talking.
Oscar spoke, “I’m friends with the president of Riverview University. Since Sandy is still young, she can enroll in a graduate program there.”
Sandy was only 23 years old and was at just the right age to enroll in a graduate program.
If the university president was willing to mentor her, she’d benefit greatly.
Ruby didn’t protest and asked, “What do you want her to study?”
Oscar answered indifferently, “Doesn’t she like computer science? She can do that.”
Ruby’s expression darkened.
She was under the impression that Oscar would ask Sandy to major in financial management.
But just computer science?
“What? You don’t agree?” Oscar asked.

Ruby spoke gently, “I just heard that Riverview University’s presid excels in financial management.”
Oscar laughed coldly, “The admission score for financial management is really high. Do you think Sandy can qualify?”
In other words, Oscar was only planning to ask Sandy to register but he was not planning to use his connections to help her.
There was no way he would use his power to help her benefit.

Sandy’s expression immediately changed.
“Dad, don’t underestimate me! I’ll work hard and make sure to qualify for the best program!”
Oscar didn’t seem to be too bothered and said, “At least you’re confident.
Sandy clenched her fists.
Her father was indeed very different from before.
Meanwhile, Eric sat in the car and gently closed his eyes.
Daniel drove the car solemnly, not daring to say anything.
Alice leaned against the window, watching the lights outside.
The atmosphere within the car was almost suffocating.
All of a sudden, Daniel’s phone rang.

Daniel always set his phone on vibration mode when he was driving. Only important calls would be able to get through.
As such, Daniel stopped the car by the side of the road and took a look at his phone.
“Mr. Eric, it’s the police station.”
Alice was surprised.
“You really reported it to the police?”
Daniel had no choice. He wouldn’t have brought up the police unless he had really made a report.
After all, lying about this would be a direct insult to the Martinezes.
He wasn’t about to risk it all.
Eric slowly returned to his senses. His gaze was deep as he said, “Answer it.”
Daniel answered the call, speaking politely.
The moment the call ended, Daniel updated Eric.
“The police said that they’ve confirmed the evidence that implicates Yvette, so they’ve brought her in for questioning. In her statement, Yvette said that she bought the diamond ring on the black market. They’re already tracking down both the buyer and seller.”
Daniel added, “Mr. Eric, should we look into this on our own?”
Eric shook his head.
Daniel didn’t continue the conversation.
Alice, however, was curious.

She had to find out everything about this juicy news
“Daniel, what’s going on?” She asked.
Daniel glanced at Eric. Faced with Eric’s dark expression, Daniel didn’t dare to say anything
After they returned to the villa, Alice continued to help Eric with his detox
After his bath, Eric was completely exhausted and quickly fell asleep.
Unable to suppress her curiosity, Alice caught Daniel as he was about to leave for the night. She pressed him for more details about the situation with the diamond ring
At first, Daniel hesitated.
However, Alice said, “He’s almost fully recovered, but it’s hard for the treatment to move forward if he’s in low spirits. It will be easier for me to proceed if I know what he’s worried about and solve the root of the problem. Don’t you want him to recover?”
Hearing this, Daniel sighed and filled Alice in about what had happened in the past.
“The diamond ring is related to the car accident that left Mr. Eric in a vegetative state three years ago.”
Alice seemed to also feel sorry about the incident that had landed Eric in a coma.
After all, Eric was gifted and definitely knew how to navigate benefits and risks.
It was strange for someone like him to be in such a serious car accident.
Putting aside the fact that all his cars were specially modified, Eric’s driving skills were second to none.
Besides, there were plenty of safety features in the car. He would still be protected in a serious car accident.
However, he had ended up in a vegetative state.
“After winning the bid for the diamond ring three years ago, we were planning to send it overseas.”
Alice was confused.
Not noticing the change in her expression, Daniel continued, “Actually Mr. Eric had a woman he deeply loved who was living overseas.”
