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
Janette was momentarily taken aback. However, she did not question further and quickly followed along. Despite the situation's urgency—the deadline was due that day—she hoped to find a solution soon.The restaurant where Henry reserved was a three-minute walk away. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of a high-class restaurant. The prices here were notably high, indicating that that was not a place for ordinary people. The interior was elegant and comfortable, enhancing the overall atmosphere.Lydia and Janette headed to the private room. Soon, she saw a young man sitting inside the room. He was strikingly handsome, with a well-built physique that was sure to appeal to many women. His appearance made her wonder if he was Lydia's boyfriend.Henry noticed Janette and paused for a moment. Lydia introduced her. "Henry, this is my classmate, Janette, from Akemi Tech Corporation."Janette, this is my husband, Henry!" Lydia said without hesitation.Janette was surprised by the title, quic
Janette was momentarily stunned by how quickly the conversation turned to collaboration. She wondered if Henry had a solution but was gauging what benefits they could offer in return.She quickly said, "Mr. Truman, what kind of collaboration would be best?""I'd prefer to hear your thoughts first," Henry replied calmly.After a moment of hesitation, Janette remembered her father's bottom line and said, "We hope to secure a 75-million-dollar investment in exchange for 60 percent of the shares. However, we'd retain management and operational control of the company."Given the crisis, she could not afford to ask for too much."That's too little—75 million dollars. It wouldn't even make a splash," Henry said."We'll invest 300 million dollars and take an 80 percent stake. What do you think about that? However, Lydia would need to take charge of managing the company. How does that sound?"Janette's heart skipped a beat. That was an enormous sum, far beyond her expectations. However,
