The truth was Severus deliberately spread the rumors.Robert had acted based on Henry's request to share all that information with Severus. He even explicitly mentioned that Henry did not want his identity as the Master of Golden Liberty or a Grandmaster to be exposed.Henry wanted to test the Trumans' loyalty.Severus thought he could take advantage of that information. So, he criticized Robert's decision and tarnished Henry's reputation.Severus wanted to seize the opportunity to get rid of Robert. He wanted everyone to assume Robert had died of illness to build the path for himself to take over Robert's position.Once he took over the position, he would get rid of Henry, and no one could threaten him anymore. As for the four prominent families, he had no problem handing them to the Newmans.The Truman family did not have the ability to manage them anyway.That was how Aden learned Henry was about to return to inherit the Truman family. However, he did not expect to see Henry
What?Aaron was shocked by Henry's words. He said, "You..."However, he quickly controlled his expression and said, "Sure, I'll do it right away."He got up quickly and left.He had never imagined the Master of Golden Liberty had another terrifying identity. Henry was the son of the Trumans in Aurelia City.Aaron knew that Henry was the Master of Golden Liberty. He did not expect that the Master of Golden Liberty would also be part of the Trumans in Aurelia City.There was only one Truman family in Aurelia City. The family had many years of history, being one of the four prominent families there.After Aaron left, Michael and the others were still shocked by Henry's identity.Who were the Trumans?Even though Michael did not know how powerful the Trumans were, their name sounded terrifying, supported by their attitudes.However, Michael did not dare to ask about it. He immediately said, "Henry, I'm sorry about earlier. I was blind. I didn't know how powerful you were."I've
Henry could not execute his plan to break up with Cecilia. Even though Michael's earlier behavior was unpleasant and annoying, he did not go over the line. He was only trying to protect himself.Most importantly, Henry could see that Cecilia respected her father very much. He could also see that her father was good to her. Cecilia would be distraught if he were to break up with her in front of everyone.Forget it; he would let Cecilia inform Michael about the breakup later.That would be much more convenient.Anyway, he did not have the time to pretend to be her boyfriend again.After Deric was taken care of, the family ate happily. All the dishes were delicious. Given the prices, they were indeed extraordinary.Cecilia and her family had never tasted such dishes. They thought all the dishes were delicious.Everyone was pleased.Cecilia, especially, was in a very good mood. She was delighted to see how happy her parents were and how pleased her father was enjoying his drinks wi
Cecilia was unhappy when she heard that. Henry was a good person.However, she said, "Thank you, Henry. Apart from apologizing, I'm grateful for your help today."If you weren't here, my life would've been ruined even if my family didn't die."Cecilia thought about the previous situation. If it were not for Henry, she would have to go with Deric. She would end up miserably with him."Well, we're friends, and it's right to help each other. Now, aren't you helping me too?""Help you?" Cecilia was puzzled."To manage the Hood Group?""That's not helping you. That's your gift to me. I have to thank you for that, too, Henry," Cecilia said excitedly."Alright, I accept your thanks. You don't have to mention these things in the future," Henry said helplessly.He wanted to end the conversation quickly as he was feeling rather uncomfortable.The raging urge in him was getting unbearable."Alright, I won't say it again if you accept my gratitude by marrying you."Cecilia blushed. It
Henry said, "Do you want my conscience to feel bad?""No, I don't!""If we're destined to be together, we'll get a chance," Henry said. He looked at Cecilia, who had released her arms and stood up.Cecilia was too embarrassed to continue to force him. Frustrated, she replied, "Alright, I'll do as you say."Henry hurriedly left.He saw a Ferrari parked at the side when he left the hotel lobby. A stunning yet charming lady was sitting in the car.Many people around glanced at her. The lady was beautiful and charming, and everyone could not help but want to look at her. They would pay any price to have such a lady.When the lady saw Henry, she shouted, "Mr. Truman!"Henry was startled. Was that Emily?He was stunned for a moment. Then, he walked forward and got into the car.Everyone was envious to see that."Henry, you're fast." Emily laughed."What are you talking about?" Henry sounded unhappy. With Emily's ability, she must know what had happened to him."You know what I
Emily did not dare cross the line, fearing it would backfire. So, she said nothing else until Henry was safely back at his residence.She did not go up with him, even though Henry told her he would reserve a room for her. She had never stayed in it.She knew Henry did not want others to disturb his time with Lydia.Emily only saw Lydia as Henry's wife although Henry was her master. She never took anyone else as the madam of the house except for Anna.Henry returned home and had a more in-depth exchange with Lydia. He went to the airport early the following day.Lydia was there, too. Even though she was busy at work, she thought Henry's trip to Aurelia City was unusual, so she went to see him off.When Emily arrived and saw Lydia, she immediately hid in a corner and did not appear. Instead, she briefly disguised herself and went straight to the departure hall after checking in.She knew what Henry disliked, so she tried to avoid causing trouble to him.It was almost 9:00 A.M., a
Emily's appearance immediately attracted attention, especially from a group of two young men and one woman. The two men's eyes almost popped out, looking at Emily.After a short moment, Martha and Grace boarded the plane too. Even though Grace did not look as good as Martha, she was also beautiful. Their appearance attracted a lot of attention again, especially from two young men wearing luxury-branded clothes and looking arrogant.Martha did not seem to be surprised to see Henry. Obviously, she had noticed Henry earlier. She nodded at the man.Henry was stunned, but he nodded back.That made the two men jealous, especially the leader, Carlos. The other young man was Roberto, and the lady was Romano, Roberto's sister.Roberto was Carlos' follower. As for his sister, she liked Carlos, and Roberto wanted his sister to be with Carlos, too.However, it was a pity that Carlos did not seem to like her, though Romano was unwilling to give up. If she could marry Carlos, she would marry i
Martha walked forward but did not sit down. She asked coldly, "Are you looking for me?""Well, please sit down. We'll talk."Henry nodded and smiled. Since Emily invited her, he must not waste the opportunity.Martha looked at the seats. Emily had the window seat. However, Henry did not stand up to let her in. After some hesitation, she squeezed her way past him, with her back facing him.Alisa had told Martha to get close to Henry. If she could not even sit with him, how would she be able to complete her task and obtain the jade pendant?Henry could not bear looking at the graceful figure squeezed past him with her charming bottom facing him. Everything was so close as he was sitting and Martha was standing.Martha sat down very quickly and looked at Henry casually, asking him why he wanted to speak with her.Henry smiled. Martha's series of actions proved one thing—she intended to get close to him; she had a purpose for doing that.Otherwise, she would never be so accommodati
