"Pretty much, but is your mother going with us?" Eddie looked at Taimina in the kitchen, not understanding why Graham wanted his wife to leave.
Ashley's expression was a little strange. "My mother is very beautiful, isn't she?"
Eddie nodded, "She is indeed very beautiful. It's rare for a woman her age to maintain herself so well."
Ashley snorted, "Don't you dare have any ideas about my mother, I'm telling you, it's impossible!"
Eddie immediately spat out his coffee, coughed twice, then said irritably, "What are you thinking? It was your father's instruction; I was just asking as a formality."
Ashley blinked her beautiful eyes, saying with a hint of confusion, "Oh, I see. Then I'll go ask my mom." With that, she skipped into the kitchen.
Eddie rubbed his forehead. Why did Ashley seem even more childish than Rebecca? Hmm, this should be called a maiden's heart, right? After all, it's Energetic Girl Wesker!
The mother and daughter in the kitchen seemed to be talking about something. Taimina's emotions were a bit agitated, then a little sad. After saying something unknown, she finally walked out of the kitchen.
"Eddie, Graham wants you to take me to work at your company?" Taimina quickly recovered, still elegant and noble, showing no trace of sadness.
"Not exactly. It's just a routine inquiry. He probably can't rest assured about Ashley, after all, my reputation isn't very good, and that's understandable." Eddie shrugged.
Taimina smiled faintly. "You seem quite sincere. I've met many men, not a few who pursued me, or pursued my daughter, but without exception, they were all after money and power."
Pausing, Taimina observed Eddie's expression, then slowly continued, "I can tell you're a very sincere person. This is almost unbelievable among capitalists. Do you think I should go?"
Eddie took out a cigarette. "Do you mind if I smoke?"
Taimina took out a cigarette herself. "I don't mind, I also have a smoking habit."
Eddie tossed a cigarette over. "Smoke this one. It's a Medicinal Cigarette, two hundred thousand US dollars a pack. Very few people can afford to smoke it. It's good for the body; besides being expensive, it has no other drawbacks."
It was indeed expensive. A pack of twenty cigarettes. One cigarette was ten thousand US dollars, which was almost half a year's income for an ordinary person.
Who would go without food or drink for half a year just to smoke one cigarette? Isn't that insane?
One can only say it's good to be rich. If the author were rich, why would he eat instant noodles every day? He would definitely eat out every meal, with beautiful women by his side. It's good to be rich, maybe this is what it means to be a man.
Taimina picked up the cigarette, seeing her daughter Ashley already skillfully lighting and smoking the Medicinal Cigarette, she frowned slightly and was also curious.
"In my opinion, men are either just playing along, or they get too deeply involved to turn back, or they have no feelings. I don't doubt this point, but I don't hide myself, so you see my reputation isn't good."
"However, in my opinion, if you come along, there are benefits. Being able to see Ashley at any time is one benefit, and you might also find some new life goals. Your safety will also be guaranteed; no one can cause trouble on my territory and leave." Eddie's demeanor was proud, full of fierce confidence.
Taimina quietly smoked her cigarette, lost in thought. The swirling smoke, combined with her light makeup, indeed gave her a somewhat mesmerizing beauty.
"Mom, just come with us. Dad will be very safe here, don't worry about him. Since he has to work, let him work. Those Senators always have endless work, endless meetings, and unavoidable gatherings." Ashley frowned as she spoke, clearly disgusted.
"Alright, I'll go with you. Eddie, please take care of me from now on." Taimina extended her fair, elegant hand.
Eddie also reached out and shook it. "You're too kind. Your life will be guaranteed, and if you have any problems, you can always tell me."
"Rest here tonight. I also have some matters to attend to, and won't be able to leave until the day after tomorrow at the earliest. You can look around these two days; there's an amusement park in the city you can visit." After Taimina finished speaking, she got up and went into the kitchen, apparently to prepare dinner.
After eating and drinking to their fill, Eddie sat on the sofa looking at his computer, still browsing knowledge about electronic engineering. His magnetic field ability could now help him perform precise experiments, and any ideas he had could be realized.
For example, creating incredible weapons, as well as laser pulses, and so on.
Ashley, humming a little tune, leaned on her girlfriend and was still browsing books on Aerospace Industry. Her mission this time was to assist Alexia in building a prototype aerospace spacecraft.
Creating an experimental sample and then gradually improving it is the safest method.
Relatively speaking, it only consumes more money and time, but the one thing Eddie lacks least is money and time.
Living for two thousand years is very boring; one must find something to do.
Late into the night, Taimina made another late-night snack and brought out a bottle of red wine, seeming a little sad. After all, she said she was going to take care of her daughter, but in reality, she was being sent away.
There was no divorce; it was just for profit, keeping a title, and then going out to play around. The grass is always greener on the other side, which is understandable.
After the late-night snack, both Ashley and Taimina were tipsy, proving that if you can't hold your liquor, don't drink!
Only Lisa's beautiful eyes remained bright and spirited; she didn't even yawn. Did they think a little red wine could get her drunk? Don't be ridiculous.
After a night, Eddie hummed a little tune as he walked out of his room to exercise.
Only when he reached the courtyard did he realize that he seemed to have entered the wrong room last night, right? Was it an illusion?
Chapter 511: William, Blinded by Cuckoldry
After escaping to a hidden spot, they didn't wait long before Wesker arrived in his yacht.
The two of them worked together to lift half of Sadler's corpse onto the plane before leaving, to avoid being found by agents from the Iberian Kingdom.
The ship previously sent away by Sadler arrived at the British Isles. Anruka received this group of researchers, saying, "You are now internationally wanted, and only I can save you. Work for me, and you can live. I am the heir of Tricell. You may have heard of me, and you surely know that I keep my word!"
After recruiting these researchers, Anruka began to have them restore the Las Plagas parasite and develop corresponding biochemical weapons to make money. At the same time, they were also researching projects to enhance strength with the Las Plagas parasite, ensuring that, like the Progenitor Virus, it could grant people strength, speed, and a greatly extended lifespan.
On an island in the South Pacific, William Birkin was still researching the brand new G-Virus. The improved G-Virus had some of its mutation reduced, maintaining controllable abilities and allowing the host to remain clear-headed.
Knock knock! An intelligence officer opened the door, handed over a file bag, placed it on the table, and left.
William didn't pay attention, continuing his research until the experiment was completed. Only then did he take a break; this was a habit of someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
When William completed today's experiment, he picked up the folder. In the file, he saw a photo of his wife, which made him very confused.
But then he saw a bright-eyed and beautiful girl next to his wife, which filled him with immense anger.
William had already announced his wife's death during the Raccoon City incident, and even hypocritically held a funeral for his wife, Annette.
His obsession with experiments made William neglect his family. He even used Annette as a spy to entrap Eddie, which resulted in losing both his wife and daughter.
"Annette isn't dead! Annette actually isn't dead, damn it, that bitch, she actually had a daughter with someone else! Damn it!" William roared hysterically in the laboratory, pounding the walls and smashing things to the ground.
When Wesker returned, he found the laboratory in a chaotic mess. He even thought it had been burgled.
But seeing his friend William sitting silently on the floor, he saw a lone wolf tending to its wounds. "I brought Sadler back, but he's dead. His strength was excellent; his combat data in all aspects was outstanding. But after mutation, his combat power plummeted. The ability to control other Plagas can continue to be developed."
William sat indifferently on a broken chair. "Do you know who Annette is with?"
Wesker frowned. "I don't know. I know she appeared in Europe, in the Far East, and even in Oceania!"
"Is it possible it's Eddie?" William thought of one person, that strange fellow.
Wesker pondered for a moment then shook his head. "I don't think so. You know Alex, right?"
William's expression became serious then. "I know. Didn't she run off with half of Spencer's fortune? That woman is meticulous in her actions; she's someone I admire."
This was truly heartfelt admiration. Besides her talent and learning, it was more about Alex's inherent charisma. Noble and captivating, making people willingly be used by her. And the biggest problem was that they wouldn't even realize they were being used.
