Under Jordan's instructions, Rex met Dustin to prepare for the press conference the next day. Rex had strong business capabilities and was a senior manager of the company.If not for his position in the company, Celeste would not have been so afraid of him. His status in the industry was indeed extraordinary.It was a coincidence that when Rex arrived at the Hodbridge International Hotel with his assistant, he ran into Celeste and Charlene, who were returning to the hotel.Even though they were dressed up, Rex could still recognize them immediately. So, he stopped them.He had only given them a day. The time should be up, but he had not received any reply from them. Did they want to make things difficult for him?Furthermore, he saw Celeste and Charlene talking and laughing as they walked in. They were in a really good mood. His face turned green in anger as he said coldly, "Celeste, what is your decision on my proposal?"Celeste and Charlene were confused. Did Sheena not tell th
"How dare you!"Who do you think you are? You dare to talk to Mr. Hewitt like that? I'll slap you to your death!" Rex's bodyguard said domineeringly.He had been with Rex for several years and knew Rex's character well. He had even done many terrible things for Rex.Unexpectedly, Henry still looked disdainful as he said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you bark in front of me!""You're looking for death!" The bodyguard was furious. He stepped forward and was about to slap Henry.Rex noticed that, but that was intentional. Henry had been so arrogant in front of him. It happened that his bodyguard was there, so he decided to teach Henry a lesson to make him regret it.Celeste was frightened. Her expression changed slightly. She ran up and shouted, "Stop!"She ran in front of Henry to protect Henry from the attack.Rex was furious when he saw that. His expression turned cold, and a flash of murderous intent was in his eyes.He thought the two were pretending. He did not expec
"You!" Charlene was furious when she heard that. "What an idiot! You deserve to die!""Celeste, let's not care about him. Let's go back and ask Ms. Mose what has happened. Perhaps there's still a chance to resolve this.""No, he's implicated in this because of me. I can't just abandon him!" Celeste shook her head when she heard that.She bit her lip; she could not abandon Henry.Two people were walking out of the elevator in the distance. It was Dustin; he had completed his cultivation and breakthrough.Dustin looked surprised and excited. He never thought that he could break through to the Grandmaster level. Even though he was talented, he had been focusing on business rather than on his cultivation. He did not expect Henry to assist him to break through so easily.Jordan had been waiting for Dustin to have dinner together. He walked down with Dustin when the man was ready. They saw the commotion right after that.Several people had gathered around, watching the chaos. It appea
A single shout and a slap had stunned the crowd, especially Celeste and Charlene, who were utterly bewildered by what they had just witnessed.They had seen how respectful Rex had been just moments before. He knew Jordan. Yet the moment they met, Rex was greeted with a slap to the face.Rex was equally shocked. He had completely forgotten about the pain on his cheek, staring ahead in disbelief.After slapping Rex, Jordan started to walk toward Henry.'Did Jordan know that guy? That can't be true. No way!' Rex thought.Before anyone could react, Jordan reached Henry, bowed low, and said with visible fear and respect, "Greetings, Mr. Truman!"I've failed to discipline my employees, and they've disrespected you. Please forgive me!" Jordan's words stunned the crowd in silence, especially Rex, Celeste, and Charlene.The man Rex had tried so hard to curry favor with and even slapped him hard in the face was bowing in fear before Henry. The shock was too much to process.Celeste reali
Charlene's face had turned ghostly pale. She could not help but imagine her own miserable fate as she saw Rex's.It was clear that Celeste was her last hope to survive such a fate.Charlene deeply regretted what she had done to Henry. After all, Henry had never wronged her, and he was even helping Celeste.Rex had finally calmed down, and Jordan breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, Dustin quickly approached. Rex's eyes lit up as he saw Dustin, thinking that he would never be misrecognized Dustin.To his shock, Dustin bowed respectfully to Henry and greeted, "Master!"Rex's face turned a sickly white. His body began to tremble.He finally realized he had offended someone unimaginably powerful."That—that's Mr. Hopper!" Charlene's legs were shaking as she gasped in fear."Mr. Hopper?" Celeste was confused."Yeah, he's the CEO of Skyline Corporation. He's powerful and influential in Hodbridge," Charlene whispered, trembling."Celeste, please help me beg for forgiveness, please!
In contrast, Rex felt increasingly hopeless; he knew he had messed up that time.He quickly crawled over to Henry, knelt before him, and begged for mercy. "I was wrong! I spoke out of turn and offended you. I deserve to die for my mistakes!"Please, Mr. Truman, spare me! I'll do anything, even if it means serving you like a slave for the rest of my life!""Please, please..." He continued to plead, terrified.The bodyguards and assistants standing nearby were filled with dread as they watched Rex beg for forgiveness pitifully. They had finally understood how terrifying Henry was.One of the bodyguards, trembling in fear, prayed Henry would not notice a nobody like him. Even though he had not harmed Henry directly, he had been the one to make threats and throw the first punch.Celeste was stunned by the scene. Someone as powerful and untouchable as Rex was begging for his life.Even Charlene, who felt the terror firsthand, nearly collapsed to her knees in fear. She could not endur
If not for Henry's warning, Jordan might have dealt with Rex, but he would have likely minimized the situation. After all, some of the things that came out about Rex were quite damaging to the company.However, at that time, Jordan did not dare cover anything up. While some shady dealings could be overlooked, Rex was involved in much worse—coercion and threats.Those had to be handled by the police.Jordan was truly afraid of Henry. His warning still echoed in his ears, and he dared not hide a single detail.After all, Rex would face an incredibly tragic fate later.Once Jordan and Rex left, Henry turned his attention to Celeste and Charlene, who were just about to speak.Charlene dropped to her knees and pleaded, "I was wrong, Mr. Truman! I was too blind to recognize you and spoke out of turn."I'm sorry! Please spare me!"Henry paused, surprised. He had not paid any attention to Charlene and never considered her worth his time. Yet she was terrified and even pleaded for forgi
Even though Sheena was masked, Henry recognized Sheena immediately."Henry, you're really here!" Excited and happy, Sheena rushed straight into Henry's arms.It was hard to tell if she did it on purpose.Taken aback and feeling a little helpless, Henry said, "Aren't you worried about scandals?"Sheena blushed and let go of him. She whispered, "I'm not."She even hoped that they would keep the topic hot.At the same time, Celeste and Charlene were utterly stunned. They recognized Sheena, too, but they never expected Sheena to know Henry.Suddenly, a thought popped into Charlene's mind. Was Henry the powerful boss Sheena had mentioned?He would certainly fit the description.Just then, Sheena noticed Celeste and Charlene. She was surprised. "You're here too, Celeste."Celeste quickly replied, "Sheena, Rex caused trouble earlier, but thanks to Mr. Truman, it's all taken care of."Henry nodded and said, "You called me yesterday, but it was too late for me to deal with it.
