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
"Play tricks on you?"Henry was stunned. 'I'm telling the truth, but you see me as playing tricks on you?'"Aren't you? If you're such a jerk, we have nothing to discuss." Martha was angry. She thought that Henry was a good person.Otherwise, she would not have sat with him.It seemed like Henry was full of lies and not as honest as he looked.That made her furious; she could not be bothered by her mission.Martha's reaction made Henry confused. He was telling the truth. Even if it was a lie, she did not need to be so angry.Did he guess her intention wrongly?Martha approached him with no purpose, purely because she had a good impression of him?Otherwise, why would she be so angry about such a trivial matter?Furthermore, she did not look like she was acting. Based on his judgment, a woman who cultivated wholeheartedly would not have such good acting skills.When he saw Martha standing up, Henry raised his hand reflexively and grabbed Martha's right hand.Her hands were s
Martha shuddered when Henry said that.For some unknown reason, she was impressed by Henry the first time they met. She felt very comfortable with him and had a good impression of him.However, she thought they would never meet again. She did not expect to meet him again so soon. Furthermore, he was the target of her mission.If she had not known it was him, she would have opposed using her beauty as Alisa proposed. She would not have accepted the mission.She could not do it even if Alisa were kind to her.However, given Martha's state of mind, her expression returned to normal very quickly. She said, "As I said, I only like to cultivate; I have no interest in men.""You're entitled to your lack of interest, and my feelings for you are independent. Just because you're not interested in men doesn't mean I can't like you, right?" Henry smiled confidently.She replied coldly, "I can't argue with you. If there's nothing else, I'll return to my seat.""There's one other thing," Hen
Carlos frowned."No matter how he did it, that kind of shameless person must be taught a lesson."Roberto reassured Carlos, "Don't worry, I've arranged it. I guarantee it will showcase your splendid side well."You may also win the hearts of a few beautiful ladies and enjoy the happiness of having many ladies who serve you."Carlos was excited when he heard the news. The two ladies were stunning. It would be wonderful if he could enjoy their company together.Roberto then looked at his sister, Romano, and said, "It's up to you now."Romano hesitated, but she was determined to be with Carlos. She understood she needed to be courageous at that moment, or else she might miss the chance to be with Carlos.She said, "Don't worry, Carlos. Just follow my lead."After saying that, they returned to the first-class cabin from the connection aisle. Romano was wearing a super short skirt, and she walked swiftly toward Henry.When she was near Henry, she suddenly screamed."Argh!"Henry
