Everyone was willing to marry Cindy."That's right, Ms. Drayson. This guy is a good-for-nothing man. He's the rubbish that hides behind a woman. Do you have any misunderstandings about him?" Bradley said.Lloyd said, "That's right. Hey, you should get out of here right now. Or do you want us to chase you away? If we were to take action, we'd make your life miserable."Henry was speechless. Was he that terrible?Cindy was stunned for a moment, too; she thought it was so funny. There was a faint smile on her face after years of being serious. 'This man is really interesting.'These people probably don't know his true identity. Otherwise, how would they dare to say such things about him?'She thought the situation was interesting.She was also curious about what Henry would do next.When Henry stood motionless, Denise said angrily, "Henry, why are you still standing there? Why don't you tell Ms. Drayson that you're trash? In fact, you've always wanted to pursue me and get close to
Cindy was taken aback. Then, she chuckled. "You're confident, Mr. Truman. I've heard from Jess many times about your arrogance. I didn't quite believe it, but I'm seeing it for myself today."In her eyes, the Supreme Defenders were under the direct command of Frederick, the Master of Supreme Defenders. Even her grandfather, Tim, with his supreme status, would not dare to be too reckless. Yet, there was Henry, bold and seemingly crazy."That is not arrogance; it's confidence," Henry replied. He finally understood why Cindy was so intrigued by him—somehow because of Jess."Alright then, I'm looking forward to it, Mr. Truman," Cindy said."Is that the only reason you came to see me?" Henry asked."Why? Is that not enough?""Of course it is!" Henry replied."To be honest, I didn't come to say anything specific. I just wanted to see the person occupying Jess' mind for so long, even begging me to step in and help."Henry smiled faintly and asked, "So, are you disappointed?""Not at
Henry had no idea about any of that. As he was about to walk away, Bradley and his group reappeared and glared at him.Denise, clearly upset, sneered, "Henry, you're pretty good at sweet-talking women, huh? Even Ms. Drayson fell for it. But do you have any idea how miserable it'll be for you when her grandfather finds out?""I don't know," Henry replied casually, uninterested in arguing and about to leave. The banquet was starting soon, and the most important guests had arrived.The Morrisons, the Lancasters, the Draysons, and other influential figures were all present. Everything was about to start. Robert made his way to the stage, where a microphone had been set up, and he was prepared to start the event officially."Stop!" Bradley and Lloyd blocked Henry's path, their faces cold."Who said you could leave?"Henry frowned and asked, "You want to fight here?"When Hilda saw the scene unfold, she quickly pulled Denise, hoping she would speak up. However, Denise, furious that He
"Idiots!"Let's go, Emily. We'll deal with those pieces of trash later." Henry shook his head.Then, he walked away. Emily nodded and quickly followed him. Bradley and the others were furious, itching to make a move. However, with Robert on the stage, they decided to hold back.Their jealousy was through the roof, though. First, Cindy had shown interest in Henry, and then another stunning beauty was at his side.They thought Henry had better hope that he would never run into them alone. Otherwise, he would be in for a world of hurt.Denise, however, frowned and said, "His last name is Tru... Could he be connected to the Trumans?""That's nonsense!" Bradley immediately responded arrogantly."I know the Trumans well. There's no one named Henry. Even if he's part of that family, he's definitely just some low-ranking nobody."Lloyd nodded in agreement, then turned to Hilda and asked, "Hilda, did that guy tell you he's from the Trumans?"Hilda thought momentarily, recalled what Hen
Hilda was right. A young man stepped into the center of the stage, and it was Henry, the very person Bradley and the others had looked down upon.Remembering all the arrogance and what happened the previous night, Bradley and the others instantly went pale. Then, it made sense—Henry had stayed calm and collected. He never panicked, but they were too blind to notice.Was Albert's son not named Harry instead?No matter what, they acted arrogantly in front of the new leader of the Trumans, and Henry said he would deal with them later. They were furious when Henry said they were nothing but trash. Well, it seemed Henry was speaking the truth.They had heard the stories about Henry—he was ruthless and arrogant, so many of the Newmans' core members had been wiped out because of him.Hilda could not help but feel satisfied when the once-arrogant young masters trembled in fear after seeing Henry. She had thought they would be shocked, but not to that extent."H—he's the new leader of the
Chester frowned. He thought Henry was really arrogant. If not for the importance of that event, he would not have attended it. After all, the Newmans, a powerful clan, had submitted to the Trumans.At the same time, he could not help but glance at Tim, Bradley, and the others.Henry did not care about their reactions. He smiled and said calmly, "I don't like to waste time. Since most of the guests are here, I'll keep it short."First of all, I want to express my gratitude to all of you for attending the official inauguration of my leadership within the Trumans. I hope you will continue to support the Trumans."Everyone nodded slowly; perhaps Henry was not as arrogant as they thought him to be."Secondly, I have a flight to Hodbridge at 11:30, and it's already 9:15. I don't have much time left."So, those who need to apologize, do it now, and those who need to offer compensation, hand it over."I have other matters to attend to."That's it. Let's get started."Everyone froze at
The Trumans were nervous.After all, Carroll represented a powerful force. From their standpoint, they did not want the Trumans to act aggressively, or it would only make it harder for the Morrisons to hold their heads high in front of them.However, Henry remained calm and asked plainly, "Are you trying to tell me how to do my job, Mr. Morrison?"Carroll was caught off guard momentarily, but then he smirked arrogantly and said, "Whatever you think it is."Henry scoffed and said, "But you're not qualified to do so."His voice turned colder. "You had better stay out of this.""How arrogant!" Carroll was furious.Carroll, being who he was, snapped. "I'm definitely getting involved in this!"If you want an apology and compensation from Nesh and the others, forget it!" Carroll declared.Nesh immediately backed him up and shouted, "Exactly! We were doing fair business. Even though the investment didn't go as planned, we were willing to take the losses. Why should we apologize or co
Oliver had been standing quietly on the side. He dressed slightly oddly, but since no one knew who he was, they did not pay much attention to him. Only Tim had glanced at him and was surprised.He looked like an ordinary person. However, there was no way a regular guy would stand there so calmly.Oliver let out a bitter smile as Henry commanded. He could have spared those who were not a threat to the Trumans. However, Henry's instruction had left him with no choice.Everyone was stunned by Henry's order. They never expected him to order Carroll's death. Furthermore, Nichole was standing beside Carroll.No one could possibly kill Carroll with such a powerful guardian beside him.Carroll was stunned momentarily, then shouted angrily, "How dare you, Henry! You can't kill me!"Carroll was powerful, and with Nichole beside him, he felt safe. Nichole's face also turned cold, and she sneered, "No one can lay a hand on our family leader as long as I'm here!"Henry did not reply but simp
