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
Celia screamed in pain and was stunned for a while. For years, people hardly dared to breathe in her presence. Then, someone slapped her in public.It was unacceptable. When she regained her senses, she jumped up and shouted, "How dare you slap me? I'll kill you!"Henry's expression remained cold as he watched Celia, who had been hysterical. He raised his right hand again, delivering another heavy slap. That slap knocked Celia back to the ground, and because it was a backhand slap, it struck the other side of her face, making it swell even more.Celia was in so much pain that she grimaced and yelled furiously, "You're dead! You hear me? You're dead! I'll never let you get away with this!"Henry chuckled coldly and said, "Now, it's my turn to stop you from getting away with this."Celia was taken aback. How could anyone dare to speak to her like that? She screamed, "What do you mean? Do you know who I am? You can't touch me!""What do you think?" Henry mocked."My husband has p
As no one dared to move under Henry's threats, Celia became even more terrified, especially since Henry was already approaching her. She shouted desperately, "Stop! Are you really going to kill me here?""Why not? Do you think only the Hoods can do such things?" Henry replied coldly, stepping forward and stomping on Celia's right hand."Argh!" Celia screamed in agony as his heel remained pressed on her fingers, causing immense pain."Let me go! Let me go, please!""We're just getting started," Henry said, looking down at her, implying there were many more ways he could torment her.That scared Celia even more. She pleaded, "No, no! Please, I beg you, please let me go."The pain was unbearable and desperate. Celia, who had always lived in comfort, could not endure such agony and could only beg for mercy.Sheena and the others watched in a daze. Even though the scene was too brutal to watch, their anger was somewhat appeased."She deserves it!" Penny muttered angrily.Carrie agr
"Don't! Please! I'm begging you, can't we change it to something else? I can't accept being humiliated," Celia pleaded desperately."You lost your dignity the moment you hit them. You have 45 seconds left," Henry said coldly, the dagger in his hand gleaming menacingly.As time slowly ticked by, cold sweat poured down Celia's face."Five, four, three, two—""I'm sorry! I was wrong!" Celia could not bear the torment and fear any longer. She crawled forward and knelt in front of the three women.Her sudden movement startled Sheena.The onlookers outside were stunned; no one expected Celia to kneel. They wondered if that young man dared to kill her.However, they did not feel the same oppressive, murderous aura that Sheena exuded, which made all the difference. They might have done the same if they had been in Celia's position.That was the outcome Henry had intended.Sheena and the others were utterly taken aback. They could not believe that Celia had knelt and crawled toward the
