"What's wrong, Mr. Truman?" Alex felt the change in Henry."Nothing. Do you know the owner here?" Henry asked."Yes, I'm the owner," Alex responded."Find someone to keep an eye on the private room. If a woman comes in, please notify me immediately," Henry said."Got it!" Alex immediately approached the manager on duty and gave him instructions.Shortly after they sat down, Alex received a message, and Henry stood up and walked out.Lydia followed Lewis into the private room and noticed a young man sitting in the main seat. He must be Carson.Lewis said respectfully, "Young Master Walter!"Carson looked at Lydia indifferently and asked, "Is she the Lydia you mentioned?""Yes," Lewis responded."Have a seat," Carson said."Lydia, let's toast Carson first," Lewis said. There were already plenty of dishes and wine on the table. He poured himself a drink before pouring one for Lydia.Carson was arrogant. He glanced at Lydia and said indifferently, "So, you're Lydia?""Yes!"C
"The decanter is special. It's a dual-chamber decanter with two types of alcohol, and he can choose which one to pour," Henry explained."Stop bullshitting, Henry." Lewis felt guilty."Enough! Do you understand how serious it is to falsely accuse him in front of me?" Carson looked angry."How serious can it be? You're just a fraud." Henry mocked him.Carson's expression changed immediately. He had not expected Henry to notice, which made him uneasy.However, Lydia was even more alarmed. She could not afford to offend Carson.She stood up and angrily confronted Henry. "Henry, what are you doing? Do you want to die? Have you considered the Millers?""I—""Get out of here! You're not welcome here," Lydia said, fearing she would lose hope.Henry frowned. Even though Lydia was being rude, he could not ignore her. Otherwise, Lydia would be doomed."Don't get angry with Lydia, Henry. We're dealing with something very important right now, and we can't afford any disruptions," Lewis e
As Carson walked away decisively, Lydia's face paled, and she sat back dazed."I apologize for saying this, Lydia. But why are you still involved with someone like Henry? He'll harm you eventually. No, he has already harmed you." Lewis sighed."I hadn't expected him to show up today. Can we do something else?" Lydia asked.Lewis said, "Let me try."Lewis realized that Henry's appearance would prevent them from succeeding. They needed to do something else."I will go after him. Wait here for me," Lewis said."Okay." Lydia agreed, concerned that Carson would not want to see her.As Lewis was about to head downstairs, he noticed Henry.He was right; Henry had been keeping an eye on him. That made him angry.Without Lydia present, Lewis revealed his true colors. He said coldly, "You're persistent, aren't you?""You're the persistent one. How can you target my wife?" Henry responded calmly."So what? I did put drugs in her drink. Even if you knew about it, who would believe you?
Lydia sighed. "Henry crossed the line, but he's not a bad person. Maybe he was just jealous and misunderstood us." Lydia attempted to explain Henry's behavior."Are you making excuses for him now? If you don't get rid of this scoundrel, he will harm you eventually. No, he has already harmed you." Lewis pretended to be angry.Lydia smiled bitterly.John called to check in on the situation. Lydia had no choice but to be honest about what had just happened.John was furious, but he eventually sighed and said that perhaps it was fate.He then invited them home for a meal to discuss things together. Even Lewis was invited, and he was eager to participate.They continued to condemn Henry at home, and they also complimented Lewis, who thoroughly enjoyed it.Henry returned to the private room after dealing with Lydia. He intended to deal with Dominic after the meal, so Lydia would not have to worry as much.However, he soon learned that Dominic had led many of his Sandite Security Comp
"You know who I am," Dominic spoke coldly.The Millers were stunned by the words, and their faces turned pale. They had not expected the old man before them to be Dominic, a formidable figure in Hodbridge.Mike had just gotten out of jail and had never heard of Dominic. He was so angry that he wanted to explode after being beaten, but John stopped him.John did not look good at all. Dominic was there and named Lydia specifically. What should they do?Dominic looked at everyone coldly and said, "My name is Dominic. I'm here today for one reason—to find the person who harmed the Seltzers."If you're honest with me, you'll not face any consequences. Otherwise, we'll celebrate your death anniversary this time next year.""Yes, Grandmaster Seltzer, please ask for whatever you want. We'll tell you everything we know," Jennifer quickly said."That's right, we'll cooperate with you." William was also quick to express his willingness to cooperate."Very good!""First of all, step forwa
Lewis was terrified and about to defend himself when Mike exploded and shouted, "That's right! It was Lewis. Do you know Lewis? He's from the Brandon Group. I'm sure you'll regret it if you provoke him."Damn it!Lewis nearly collapsed when he heard that. He protested hurriedly and fearfully. "No, no—""What's wrong with you, Lewis? Why are you so afraid of him? Get a prominent figure and teach him some lessons," Mike said arrogantly."Shut up! Shut up, damn it!" Lewis nearly burst into tears as he yelled angrily.John also hurriedly said, "Stop talking, Mike. This gentleman is Grandmaster Seltzer.""So what? What's the big deal about being a martial arts master? Lewis can easily send you to your grave with a single call," Mike retorted.He turned to Lewis and asked, "Am I right, Lewis?""Damn it! Fuck you!" Lewis was so enraged that he stepped forward and kicked Mike.Was that guy an idiot? Could he not read the room?Mike was dumbfounded. He had been speaking up for Lewis,
Lewis was so anxious that he nearly passed out.When Dominic heard that, he became enraged and sneered, "So it was you who barged into the hospital and hit my daughter-in-law. I'll cripple you!"Before Lewis could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, which sent him flying and crashing into a nearby pillar.It felt as if all of his internal organs had moved.He could not care less about the physical pain. He became desperate because of the mental terror. He knelt again and begged for mercy. "It was not me. I didn't do any of that. My family does have some power, but we couldn't have done anything like that.""Didn't you use your shares to get prominent figures to intervene? And they said the same thing. How can this be false?" Dominic spoke coldly."Of course, it's false! They know nothing; I duped them," Lewis explained desperately."What do you mean?" Dominic asked coldly.The Millers members were also perplexed."The Brandon Group isn't ready to be listed, and we're abo
"Damn you, bastard! We had so much faith in you, but you betrayed us.""You shameless liar! Return our money now!"Jennifer was frantic. That was her entire savings."Return the money? Dream on. The money has already been transferred overseas, and not a single penny remains. Don't blame me. Blame yourselves for being overly greedy."Otherwise, why would you still believe it even after Henry warned you so earnestly?"The Millers' members were bewildered. Many of John's cousins and other members of the Miller family were also present.They were filled with regret, especially after Lewis mentioned Henry.John sighed bitterly. He never imagined he would make such a naive mistake at his age. He had placed his trust in Lewis' love for Lydia above all else.He also misunderstood Henry. It appeared that Henry's words were not nonsense. However, they did not believe him.Lydia remained relatively calm. Although she had had her doubts before, she never expected it to be a scam. She had
