Henry could not help but smile bitterly when he heard Lydia's words. Of course, there should have been no problem under usual operations. Any ordinary person would have been able to manage it without a problem.The problem was that Jennifer was not any ordinary person.She would not do things the usual way."Why? You don't believe me?" Lydia said coquettishly. She had arranged everything adequately. She even entrusted Hilda to assist her mother. There should not be any problem with that."No, of course, I believe you," Henry replied.Lydia did not think much about it further. She would not ask about the company's situation as well. Since she had left the company, she should leave everything to her mother.Lydia must not let her mother think she was unwilling to let go. Jennifer would misunderstand if she knew Lydia was still asking about the company and even calling her employees.Lydia continued to work after their meal. Henry did not leave. He sat outside to accompany her. The
Becky was stunned as she watched Henry get up and leave. Her face was gloomy. She knew that Henry had rejected her even though she had yet to express her admiration for him.She knew it was not because she was not beautiful enough. All her male colleagues admired her in her dress that day.There was only one reason—Henry was only interested in Lydia.How loyal was he!Lydia walked out not long after Henry entered the washroom. She had not completed her work, but she did not want Henry to wait for her.Henry was good in all aspects; the only downside was that he loved intimacy.How could she let him feel bored while waiting for her? She must head home to serve him comfortably.At the same time, at the Supreme Defenders's headquarters in Aurelia City."What did you just say? Henry has successfully achieved Earthly Immortal. He even received help from some special energy?" Charlie Drayson, or Charlie the Valor, asked excitedly with surprise in his eyes."Yes. We still have no evi
Martha was stunned by Alisa's words. Alisa had drilled into her that men were no good, and she had always been taught to stay away from them. However, Alisa had told her to get close to one intentionally."Don't overthink it," Alisa warned."I just want you to use your advantages—don't develop any real feelings. If you do, you'll lose your power and regret it for the rest of your life."The desire to own the jade pendant was too strong. Owning it would strengthen her power significantly and make her the most powerful in the world. Then, she would show all those lousy men that women were meant to rule that world.Even though her power was formidable, she was not invincible. Charlie was the founder of the Supreme Defenders, and she could not even beat him. He had advanced into an Earthly Immortal 50 years ago, and his strength was way beyond hers. Plus, he had handed over the Supreme Defenders to Tim years ago so he could focus solely on his cultivation."Alright," Martha agreed.A
"You wanted to thank me for helping out, huh? Don't worry about that," Henry responded."It's not just that. I need to talk to you about something," Cecilia said."Oh? You're working at the office this morning, right?" Henry asked, sensing an opportunity. He needed to head to the company to deal with Wilfred."Yeah, we're at the office. Why?" Cecilia asked."Nothing much. I've got some business at your company. We'll talk later." Then, Henry hung up.Cecilia felt a slight chill. She wondered why Henry was coming to the company. Then she remembered hearing someone say that even the Hoods were afraid of him.Wilfred had been unusually polite since she and Lora returned to the company. Henry probably knew Wilfred, and Wilfred seemed genuinely scared of him.After ending the call, Henry set off straight for the Hood Group. As soon as he arrived at the building, his phone rang.It was Kurt."Master, Severus is planning to make his move the night after tomorrow," Kurt said."So soo
The two of them could not figure it out and stopped trying. After all, Henry had said they would find out soon enough.However, Cecilia still looked worried, unsure if Henry would help her. She was out of options and did not have time to devise another plan.After Cecilia left, Henry entered the office. To his surprise, a flashy woman was sitting on Wilfred's lap. The two were all over each other!Henry frowned.Wilfred, not even turning around, was furious."Who the hell are you?" he asked.He never expected anyone would dare barge into his office. He had been so caught up in the moment with his secretary that he had not even bothered locking the door. After all, no one would dare to walk in."Well, well, Wilfred. It hasn't been a while, and you're already showing your true colors."Impressive," Henry said with a cold chuckle.By then, Wilfred recognized Henry. His face turned ghostly pale. Henry's words made him tremble, and his legs started to shake."Mr. Truman, I'm so so
At that moment, Wilfred suddenly called for a company-wide meeting, instructing everyone to gather in the main hall.Cecilia and Lora were taken aback, wondering what that was all about. They felt it had something to do with Henry. They had no idea what deal Henry had struck with Wilfred, but it was clearly a big one.It took less than ten minutes for all the employees to gather in the main hall. As everyone assembled, it was not long before Henry, Wilfred, and Hector appeared together.However, the employees with a good view from where they stood were shocked to see that Wilfred and Hector looked particularly distressed, their faces pale and their steps unsteady. It seemed like something significant was about to happen!While the employees speculated, Wilfred briefly introduced the meeting, then said, "This is Mr. Truman. He has acquired all the company's shares from the Hoods and is now our new boss!"Let's give him a warm welcome!"As soon as Wilfred finished speaking, everyon
Everyone was stunned. Many people in the room did not even know Cecilia.Cecilia and Lora were also in shock. No matter how hard they tried, they could not have imagined something so far-fetched happening.It was simply unbelievable.Cecilia had considered the possibility of a promotion, but she dismissed the idea as there was no sign to show it would happen.'How could Henry call this a small matter?' Cecilia thought.Lora was equally dumbfounded, sharing the same thoughts as Cecilia. They exchanged bewildered looks.Henry was too good to them!However, not everyone was entirely on board with that decision. The director of the channel sales department said, "Mr. Truman, I fully support your decision. But as far as I know, Ms. Leon hasn't been with the company for long and is unfamiliar with its operations."Furthermore, she's also quite young. Isn't it a bit too hasty to have her take on such a significant role?"Henry glanced at the man and, instead of addressing his concern
"It's just so sudden!"Both women were still trying to process the situation."Take it easy. Go ahead and do your best. You have my support," Henry said with a smile."Cecilia, are you confident?""No, not really!" Cecilia replied, slightly embarrassed. She forced a smile."It's not that I don't know how to manage the company; taking over so suddenly is overwhelming. I don't even know where to start.""Don't worry. Wilfred will assist you for a week," Henry said calmly."Wilfred is capable, but he's—""Don't worry about it. I've warned him; he wouldn't dare touch you. He'll only be there to assist and guide you," Henry said."Besides, I've given him a deadline. If he can't make you a competent general manager within a week, he's done!"With such a setup, Wilfred would surely be diligent in guiding Cecilia to ensure a smooth transition.Seeing how much effort Henry put into ensuring she could handle the position, Cecilia was deeply moved."Thank you so much, Henry. With your
