"Yes. You've been busy. Are you hungry?" Henry asked."I'm fine. I'm not hungry."Lydia's stomach growled right after she said that. She blushed."How can you not be hungry? Let's go for supper.""It's too late. Let's not go out. Let's order takeout instead." Lydia thought that there was nothing to eat nearby. They would need to walk a little further or drive out.That would be too troublesome for her. She did not want to stay up too late, which might affect her work the next day.Henry frowned and shook his head. He said, "It's fine to order takeout, but you can't always eat that. If you think that's troublesome, wait a moment."He went out after saying that.He remembered that there was a small sundry shop not far away. They might have instant ramen and other food.He arrived very quickly and bought everything promptly.He bought eggs, ramen, seasoning, some sauces, and nothing else.The lady boss's eyes lit up when she saw how handsome he was. She even gave him some free
"What's wrong? You don't like the food?" Lydia's strange reaction stunned Henry for a moment. Had his cooking skills regressed so much?It could not have tasted so bad that it would make her cry."No. It's delicious, so delicious." Lydia sobbed.Henry did not know if he should laugh or cry. Helpless, he said, "If it's delicious, eat it slowly. Don't be so anxious. I thought you were suffering from the bad taste of my cooking."Lydia could not help but laugh when she heard that. She said, "Don't make me laugh; I almost spit out my ramen."When Lydia smiled, it brightened up the entire place. It was so beautiful, like countless beautiful flowers blooming, that Henry was stunned at the sight."What are you daydreaming about?""I'm looking at you.""You're lying." Lydia blushed.She took a few more bites before she asked, "Do you cook ramen often?""Not often; I can cook other things, too.""You can cook other food as well?""Yes, I know a lot of other things, too. I can race c
The woman was a celebrity!Even though Celia did not have further detailed information about the woman, Sheena would have to die.No matter how popular she was, she was completely inferior to the Hood family, which owned billions of assets.Celia took out her phone and called to make some arrangements.She said angrily, "Felix, investigate this woman. If you can't find out where she lives before tomorrow morning, there's no need for you to exist as well."There's another culprit. I'll send you a video. However, the priority is to locate Sheena's location!"As long as they found Sheena, the person who hurt Barry would naturally be found. That was the main culprit.Felix's facial expression changed when he heard the instructions. Since the Hood family's reformation, the family had never wanted to locate someone that furiously. He immediately started the investigation.Felix was the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, a powerful force. They were a powerful underground force in East Ci
When Celia and her group arrived, Sheena and the others noticed them immediately.Hearing Celia's words, their faces changed drastically.Even though they did not know who she was, her menacing demeanor was unmistakable.Carrie quickly said, "Sheena, contact Mr. Truman now!""Should we mention Henry's name first?" Sheena hesitated, not wanting to trouble Henry."No, call him immediately. This woman looks fierce; she might not be intimidated by Henry's name," Carrie said."If she hasn't heard of the Master of Golden Liberty, what do we do then?"Sheena realized the urgency and dialed Henry's number despite her reluctance.However, Henry was busy making breakfast and did not hear the ringtone. Lydia had asked for the same noodles as the previous day, and Henry happily obliged her request.In the other room, Lydia also did not hear the phone vibrating on the dining table. When Henry brought out the noodles, he saw the missed call. He immediately answered it."Henry, I'm at the h
Among the crowd outside, someone recognized Sheena.However, no one dared to say anything. The lobby manager also knew who Sheena was, but he could do nothing. Just last night, trouble had already found Sheena in her accommodation; he knew she often encountered problems.Upon hearing Celia's accusations, Sheena retorted angrily, "You're lying! I don't even know who your son is!""How dare you say you don't know my son? If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't have had his legs broken and be lying unconscious right now!" Celia shouted back furiously."Take her away! I want her to kneel before my son!"At her command, some men moved forward to grab Sheena."Stop!" Carrie shouted, panicking. Sheena could not be harmed; otherwise, Henry would surely go berserk."Do you know who she is? How dare you treat her like this?""Just an actress. An actress is no different from the lowest of the low in the eyes of the Hoods," Celia sneered."No, she's under the protection of the Master of Go
Thud!Celia, wearing high heels, stepped forward and kicked Carrie, cursing, "You bitch! How dare you shield her? I'll kick you to death!"She followed up with another kick. Sheena's struggle had earned them a brutal beating. Carrie could not bear to see it and threw herself over Sheena to shield her from some of the blows.Felix stood to the side and smiled bitterly. Celia had always been brutal in her youth and had only become more so with age. He was glad he had not crossed her. Those women were destined to suffer miserably for offending her. They had provoked the wrong person, the Hoods!Celia was indeed furious. She had pampered her precious son since he was young. No matter what trouble he got into, Celia never scolded him and cleaned up all his messes immediately. She believed her child was still young and needed to be doted on.As for teaching him right from wrong, that could wait until he was older. However, someone had dared to hurt her son so severely that one of his le
The most crucial point was that Henry dealt with the group effortlessly, likely without using his full strength. That indicated that his strength far surpassed Felix's.He quickly shielded Celia behind him but dared not to provoke further.Sheena's sobbing voice echoed.Moments earlier, she had been completely paralyzed by fear. Seeing Carrie and Penny protecting her with all their might while being pinned down, she felt utterly helpless and despaired.When Henry appeared, they finally dared to get up."Henry!""Henry, you finally came!""Quickly! Help me check on Carrie and Penny!Sheena cried out in pain. She had never been that strong. Having someone to rely on now allowed her to show her vulnerability."Don't worry, they'll be fine."Henry saw her disheveled hair and face covered in handprints, and his expression grew incredibly grim. He silently embraced her, letting a stream of vital energy flow into her body, alleviating the harm she had suffered.Even though he had n
Celia thought Sheena was most likely Henry's woman. Otherwise, why would he do so much for her? Even if she was not, their relationship must be close, and she was determined to make them suffer as much as possible.However, Felix was bewildered and frustrated.'Did you not understand what I said? I just told you that I can't beat him. Now, not only do you want me to cripple him, but you also want me to leave him alive. What do you take me for?' Felix thought.When Felix stood still, Celia became furious and scolded, "Why aren't you moving? Are you scared of him?"Felix was genuinely enraged. It was not about being scared but about being unable to win."Fine, it seems I can no longer command you," Celia said angrily. Facing her most hated enemy, with her subordinate disobeying at a crucial moment, made her feel extremely humiliated and furious."Mrs. Hood, it's not that I won't act, it's just that—""I'm giving you one last chance. Cripple him immediately, or you know the consequ
