Anna was stunned as she said, "Unhappy? Why?"Lydia was anxious. She tried her best to perform well, but Henry had destroyed it. Anna must be upset with her.She could only hint to Henry to stop talking nonsense. After all, no one liked people who only knew how to complain but not solve problems.Henry did not seem to notice her as he said, "Two reasons. Firstly, the company is yours, it's too restrictive. Secondly, it's still because the company is yours; she can't make decisions freely."Lydia nearly went crazy when she heard what Henry said. She wanted to grab the phone.However, Anna was an intelligent person. She understood the reasons as soon as she heard Henry's words. Lydia feared that Anna would be dissatisfied with her performance and felt constrained.It was also probable that the senior managers had some opinions about Lydia. Otherwise, Henry would not have said Lydia could not make the decisions.However, the more that happened, the more Anna admired Lydia. Any ordi
"Really? Do you remember what I told you earlier? No matter what Lydia asked for, you must do it?""That project will likely cause the company to lose millions or hundreds of millions of dollars.""Hundreds of millions? Do you think I can't afford to lose a few hundred million?" Anna asked angrily."Of course not! That amount is nothing to you." Allan's expression looked horrible."It's good you understand that. Besides, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Are you afraid Lydia will take your position as the CEO?"Anna said coldly, "Well, you don't need to worry about that."There was no need for him to worry about that?Allan was delighted. It seemed Lydia would not be able to take over his position after all. Otherwise, why would Anna say that?"If Lydia wanted the CEO position, it would've already been hers."What?How could that be? Allan was stunned."I don't need to hide anything now. Lydia is my future daughter-in-law, and my assets will be hers eventually.
Lydia hung up the call. She was a little lost and unable to gather her thoughts.She felt that Anna was too nice to her; she was spoiling her.Henry almost scared her to death earlier. Lydia said unhappily, "Don't do that again. You almost scared me to my death.""What's there to be afraid of? You think too much."Henry smiled gently and said, "Don't you think my mother is kind to you? The more relaxed you are, the happier she'll be."Lydia was stunned. She agreed with Henry as she remembered the situation earlier. She asked, "Really?""Of course, because that's how you truly are," Henry said.Lydia finally understood it.A family should be open and honest to each other and speak candidly.It was tiring having to pretend when one was out in the world. It was too much if one needed to worry further at home.After figuring that out, Lydia felt much more relaxed and comfortable. She was often unhappy when she was with the Millers.She was happiest when she was working. She had
That was a rather wishful thought. However, Wilfred said, "If you're busy, Mr. Truman, I can manage it for you.""You?""Yes, yes. I know the company well. I used to help Mr. Hood with handling the company's business," Wilfred said nervously.Wilfred could follow Vito mainly because he had great socializing and interpersonal skills. Vito still decided most of the important things."If that's the case, you can manage the company in the interim. If you do it well, you can officially take over," Henry said.Usually, for large companies, there would be board meetings, elections, and other events. However, for the Hood Group, the shares owned by the Hood family were substantial; it was a family business.To put it bluntly, it was entirely up to the Hood family, who would be the executive chairman, and what the company's directions were.Of course, Henry was the new owner of the Hood Group."Yes, sure. I'll manage the company wholeheartedly," Wilfred said excitedly. He had never thou
After a good night's sleep, Lydia woke up the next morning to find Henry busy preparing breakfast.He looked happy.He had never been so relaxed as the night before over the recent period.He felt that life was beautiful, and he was so happy.At 9:00 A.M., Lydia appeared in the office on time. After thinking about it again the night before, she changed her mind. She decided that she would not leave the Sky Avenue Group so abruptly.She did not want to retreat like a coward. Even if she wanted to leave, she had to show some achievements first. Otherwise, how could she live up to Anna's love?Everyone respected Lydia.Even though it was only after a short time, Lydia's various actions and arrangements convinced them of her competence.The company's efficiency had improved very quickly. Although the statistical results were not apparent, everyone could see there was hope that the company would be able to improve significantly in the future.Lydia's cell phone rang as soon as she
"I don't know. You can only rely on yourself."Albus sounded helplessly. He said, "Henry, you should've heard about the Truman family's affairs, right?""Yes." Henry nodded."What do you think?" Albus asked."I will head to Aurelia City soon." That was what Henry had planned. There was no need to hide from Albus."You're kind-hearted, so I know you'll make such a decision. However, there's one thing I must tell you. A very powerful person is behind suppressing and destroying the Truman family.""Who's that?""I don't know. However, he's a super strong Earthly Immortal.""Is he that strong? If that's the case, the Truman family won't be able to defeat him, right?""That's because he has yet to take action. If you help the Truman family, you may provoke him. So, you must think about it carefully.""I understand. Thank you, Elder Master, for reminding me.""Young man, why are you being polite to me? It's a pity that I can only help you this much. The rest depends on your effort
The room erupted with excitement as soon as Henry finished speaking.One person could not hold back and spoke up loudly, "Mr. Truman, we know there's been some tension between you and Ms. Miller, but she's amazing for the company. Can't you reconsider letting her go?""Yeah, Mr. Truman! Please don't let her leave!""That's right, Mr. Truman. We need Ms. Miller!""Please let Ms. Miller stay!"Everyone voiced their support for Lydia. The sight left not only Allan stunned but also Lydia herself. She had not expected that she had gained so much support from her colleagues in such a short time.Allan was deeply shaken, realizing that Lydia was far more exceptional than he had initially thought. The executive chairman's decision to speak highly of her was not just because she was his daughter-in-law but also because of her own merits.Allan quickly said, "Everyone, please calm down. No final decision has been made about her leaving. I'm here to discuss that matter with Ms. Miller."H
Anna's action was clearly influenced by her affection for Henry. That made Lydia reflect on her own situation—why did she not have a mother like that?Anna had never looked down on Lydia. In fact, she had always been considerate and caring in every way.Thinking about Jennifer, Lydia wondered how she was doing lately. She had thought about calling several times but always stopped herself. Plus, Jennifer never reached out, either.Lydia wondered the point of dwelling on it. At least she had Henry by her side. Just the thought of him brought a smile to her lips.Around noon, Lydia received a call from Henry and quickly made her way downstairs. As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Janette hurrying by. Janette was in a fitted dress, and her physique looked amazing. However, she seemed anxious."Janette!""Ms. Miller!"Janette's face lit up as if she had found a lifeline when she saw Lydia."What's going on? Why are you in such a rush?""I'm out of options, Lydia. Can you take m
