"You are blushing. Your grandfather wants us to spend the night together?" Henry guessed based on what John said over the phone."Something like that." Lydia felt a little awkward.Henry shook his head and said, "No, I will not agree. Are you only worth 15,000 dollars?""What are you talking about?" Lydia was embarrassed and annoyed."I won't let you do anything even if you agree. But I'll pay you if you refuse," she said fiercely."Alright." Henry agreed."Deal?""Yes, but 15,000 dollars is not enough. I want 150,000 dollars."Lydia cursed silently, thinking Henry was shameless, but she still agreed."Deal."She handed Henry a check for 150,000 dollars.They entered the mansion and found Lydia's parents in the living room.Without waiting for Henry to approach, Jennifer said, "Stop thinking about your fantasies, Henry Truman."The Millers are far out of reach for a bumpkin like you."You don't deserve my daughter."Lydia agreed with her mother, but her brows were furrow
However, Henry said, "Grandpa Miller, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want to work in the company for the time being.""What do you want to do then? Laze around at home?" Jennifer mocked him."No, it's not that. Money is not a problem for me now," Henry said calmly.'How can money not be a problem for you? You won't need to stay in our house if you have money. And where would a bumpkin like you get the money?'However, William stopped his wife from forcing Henry to work at the company just to humiliate him.It could ruin their daughter's reputation.Jennifer finally realized that and stopped talking.Lydia immediately felt disdainful as she thought of that 150,000 dollars.He must have believed he could live carefree with that money.John turned around and asked, "Lydia, any progress on joining the Everising Chamber of Commerce?""We've made it to the last ten, but only three slots are available. Fortunately, Lewis is willing to help.""Oh, the Brandons are quite pow
"Alright, I have things to do." Henry pushed William out of the room and closed the door.William was dumbfounded.He told his wife about it, and they were furious.Henry noticed the couple talking to another young man when he walked into the living room at noon."Don't worry, Father, Mother. He's just a bumpkin, let me deal with him. I'm sure I will scare the shit out of him," Mike Miller, the couple's son, said."Yeah, go for it.""Don't worry. I am a big shot in Hodbridge. Dealing with him is a piece of cake."I'll teach him a lesson with a few slaps, or I can make his life difficult.""He's coming," Jennifer said.Mike turned around and stood up to meet Henry."Are you that man who kept pestering my sister?" Mike asked."Yes, that's me, your brother-in-law!" Henry replied with a smile."What did you say?""Your brother-in-law!""You?Mike sneered. "Get the hell out of here now, or I'll break your legs.""You?" Henry mocked."You must have a death wish. Do you know
John's face darkened; he knew his grandson well enough.He turned to Mike, hoping that it was all a misunderstanding.However, Mike trembled and stammered his reply."I— I did not know…did not know the woman belonged to Lord Perlo's brother…""Dumbass!" John raged and slapped him.William and his wife turned pale.They were unfamiliar with Zack Perlo but had heard of his infamous reputation, so they were terrified.In any case, John could not abandon his grandson.He stepped forward and said calmly, "Lord Perlo, this is my grandson's mistake. It must be a misunderstanding. Please spare him this time. Rest assured, we will compensate for this.""Fine, I can do that for your sake, Mr. Miller. Pay us 15 million dollars, and we'll let this slide."They wanted 15 million dollars!The Millers' total assets were only around 150 million dollars. Compensating such a sum would undoubtedly cause financial difficulties for the family."Are you not willing to pay the money?" Lord Perlo
Zack was initially enraged at the person who had been so arrogant. However, when he saw Henry, his expression changed abruptly.Had their chairman not told them not to mess with that terrifying person?He had no idea who Henry was, but the chairman had gathered the Capos from four branches the previous night to identify his face and ensure that everyone respected him more than the chairman himself.No one could save them if they offended Henry."What's going on, Grandpa Miller?" Two people appeared at the door, and Lewis was one of them.Lewis was the Brandons' sole heir. He had quite a powerful influence in Hodbridge.He might be able to resolve the situation."Lewis, you're here. Please come in." John welcomed him.Meanwhile, Zack had finally snapped back to his senses. He remembered that the chairman had instructed them not to reveal the person's identity.He respectfully bowed toward Henry and said, "Mr. Miller, let's forget about this since there's such an influential fig
"You're the one who is bullshitting!" Lydia could not hold back her anger anymore."I've told you not to brag. Why did you still do it? Furthermore, Lewis has always been courteous and has helped us a lot. Pointing fingers at him is just too much!""That's right. It doesn't matter if you can't help, but at least don't tarnish Lewis' name. If you do it again, you can get out of the family," William said."It's okay, I understand. He's just a bumpkin who knows nothing. It's normal for him to be jealous of me." Lewis laughed."Know your limits and keep your mouth shut. You think we are afraid of you?" Jennifer said.Henry frowned and stopped talking; he would be criticized anyway."Forget it. Henry just said something he shouldn't have." John had obviously lost his trust in him."Lewis, thank you.""Don't worry about it, Grandpa Miller. These are nothing for the sake of Lydia," Lewis said.John frowned. After all, his granddaughter was already a married woman."Grandpa Miller, I
"Lewis is truly generous. He is indeed a respectable member of a wealthy family, far beyond the reach of some uncivilized bumpkin.""That's right! Someone should learn a thing or two from him. They should stop being so petty, spreading false and malicious rumors."Lewis' assistance to the Millers influenced John, who thought highly of him."Lewis does indeed have a grand demeanor. Since Lewis has spoken, you should take Henry to the banquet, Lydia," John said.Even though Lydia was not very willing to do so, she nodded.Early the next morning, Henry received a photo sent by Jeffery and was immediately stunned.That was the girl he had asked Jeffery to search for."Mr. Truman, have you seen the photo?" Jefferey called him right after that."Yes, I've seen it. Have you found her?" Henry was surprised.He had no idea Jefferey would find the person so quickly based on such limited information."It's great to hear she's the one. She's right by your side, too.""Who?""Ms. Lydia
Lydia and Henry drove to the Garden Restaurant to meet Sarah.When Sarah saw Henry, she immediately asked, "Henry, I heard from Lydia that you stayed at Paradise One Villa last night?"Henry was stunned. Then, he nodded and said, "Yes.""Do you know Mr. Ford?" Sarah asked.Lydia was dumbfounded.How could Henry possibly know Jeffery Ford?'Does she really believe that Henry stayed at Paradise One Villa?'Henry said, "Yes, I know him.""Really?" Sarah was in disbelief."Yes, he works for me," Henry said.Sarah and Lydia were left speechless.They had met braggarts before, but that was a whole new level.Lydia was about to punch Henry."It's my fault. For a second, I really believed you stayed in Paradise One Villa. How stupid of me," Sarah said.She must have been mistaken. She thought she saw Henry in Jeffery's car at Paradise One Villa.Henry shrugged and felt helpless. No one believed him when he told them the truth.Meanwhile, a young man appeared. He smiled and said
