The Brandon Group's missing 300 million dollars would mostly be recovered. The people from Golden Liberty had already apprehended someone and confirmed that most of the money was still intact.Furthermore, the vast wasteland near East City would contribute to the Brandon Group's revival.No one would have expected such a remote and polluted area, with a nearby garbage dump, to be chosen as the development site for a new district, let alone the core area of a new city. That abandoned land, which the Brandon Group was about to discard, would quickly become a moneymaker.Bowen and Sebastian had not departed. They could not pass up such a rare opportunity. They had waited quite some time. Fortunately, Henry and Jeffery eventually made it out.Jeffery said, "You haven't left yet, Bowen?""Hey, Jeffery, I would also like to meet your important guest."Hello, Mr. Truman. It's nice to meet you. I'm Bowen York. I'm in the jewelry business." Bowen shamelessly went up to meet them.After a
"Don't worry. He's interested in the cosmetics industry. Furthermore, the research team you hired is extremely capable, and the skincare products they created are excellent," Sarah said."I hope so." Lydia sighed.The Millers had been experiencing a particularly difficult time, with the real estate market becoming increasingly sluggish. Lydia advocated for cosmetics, a new industry. After all, as a woman, she knew that women's money was easy to earn, but the key was to have high-quality products. She had already invested over 15 million in that venture. If there were no positive outcomes, it would most likely all be for naught.Less than 30 minutes after they arrived, First Young Master Jones, Fyman Jones, arrived. Sarah immediately contacted Lydia to welcome Fyman. After all, he was First Young Master Jones! The Joneses' empire spanned multiple industries and was extremely powerful. They were one of the four great families of Hodbridge.When Fyman first saw Lydia, he could not tak
Sarah, who was on the sidelines, said, "Lydia had reached her limit, Young Master Jones. Why don't we finish these three glasses, and we'll talk about cooperation afterward?"Lydia heard that and realized she could not hold out much longer after three glasses. She was unable to refute Sarah's suggestion, though. After some thought, she decided she could get by with just three glasses.Fyman noticed Sarah's signal and said, "Alright, three glasses it is."He did not explicitly agree but instead started a discussion.Lydia nodded, and Fyman agreed. Sarah filled a glass for her, and she picked it up, ready to drink it all in one go. Then, someone pushed the door open, capturing everyone's attention right away."Don't force yourself, Lydia. Three glasses, right? I'll drink for you!"Henry had hurried over. That restaurant belonged to the Seltzers, and he had run into Dustin. It was simple to determine which private room Lydia was in.Sarah's expression soured when she saw Henry. She
"You!"Fyman was furious at Henry's unexpected provocation. Lydia was concerned about the cooperation and about triggering the Joneses.She immediately said, "Don't speak recklessly, Henry! Why would Young Master Jones deceive us?"She then apologized to Fyman, saying, "It was a misunderstanding, Young Master Jones. Please don't be angry. I believe you're genuinely interested in working with us."Henry secretly praised Lydia; her words appeared to please Fyman.She was not as clueless as she appeared; at the very least, she knew how to flatter someone.Fyman, on the other hand, took pride in the compliment and huffed. "Of course, I'm sincere, and it was a misunderstanding on your part."Let's do it this way. If he can drink three bottles of liquor without incident, I'll invest 15 million dollars in your company."Three bottles? That was unreasonable, and Lydia was about to object. However, before she could say anything, Henry asked, "Is that a promise, Young Master Jones? Can I
Sarah was depressed, but she had to maintain a positive attitude.Henry smiled and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Jones. I got food, drinks, and a beautiful wife. I'm not going to regret this."Fyman's face dropped dramatically. However, when he left, he did not rush to do anything, instead sending his lackeys to spy on Henry. That was his way; he had to know everything about someone before making a move. Once he did that, there was no going back.Lydia was not pleased, even though they had signed a contract and would receive 15 million the next day."Henry, thank you for today, but are you okay after drinking so much?""No problem, a few bottles are nothing." Henry had used his internal abilities to deal with it; otherwise, he would not be as strong."It's good that you're fine, but now that you've ticked off Young Master Jones, who knows when he'll come after you?" Lydia was worried."Don't worry! He's just one of my many enemies." Henry chuckled."Be serious. Young Master
Lydia immediately became enraged and asked, "What do they want?" We didn't force them to invest. Why should we pay them?""That's what I said, too. But Wayne had brought a large group of people and insisted on taking back their money, even dividing the family," Jennifer said."What did Grandpa say?" Lydia asked."Your grandfather's got an old friend in the Azurecrest who's really sick, and he flew there this afternoon.""They're doing this on purpose because Grandpa is not present. Okay, I'm heading back."These folks have no shame." Lydia abruptly hung up.She rarely cursed her family members, even when she was angry with them."You okay?" Henry asked."I'm fine, just gotta go back to the Miller Mansion now," Lydia said."I will come with you.""Yeah." Lydia was not in a good mood, so she did not refuse Henry's company.They arranged for a driver because they had both consumed alcohol. While they were in the car, Henry tried to reassure Lydia. "You don't have to be too conc
"Exactly, Henry! Get out of here. You're not welcome here.""The Millers wouldn't be in such a mess if it wasn't because of you." William lost his cool.Henry frowned and said, "The Millers are in this mess because you ignored my advice and insisted on giving money to Lewis. How is that my fault?""It's because of you; don't try to argue!" Jennifer snapped."Why was it? Tell me," Henry asked calmly."Because—because you're annoying, made us trust Lewis even more." Jennifer struggled to come up with an explanation."That's your reason?" Henry sneered.While others disliked Henry, they could not ignore how lame the reason was.Jennifer exploded. "Whatever the reason, we don't welcome you!""Am I not welcome? It appears that you're unwilling to address the issue of everyone being scammed," Henry spoke casually."Bullshit! Do you really think you can solve this?" Jennifer replied angrily.Wayne and others were also drawn in. They gathered there, hoping to recover their hard-earn
"Stop lying, Jennifer. Do you accept responsibility for this?" Wayne asked her directly.Regardless of the circumstances, Wayne and the others had to fight for a result. Otherwise, they would be in trouble if John returned. He had decided not to care about John's words over the phone just now.John had just called, but they did not answer.Jennifer was startled by Wayne and took a few steps backward.Lydia immediately intervened, saying, "We should follow the rules in our actions, Wayne. Perhaps we share some responsibility for this situation, but not entirely.""You should understand, Lydia, that saving money is not easy for us. How can we bear it now that everything has been swindled away all at once?"We don't own most of the company's shares like you or have plenty of money." Wayne tried to be nice to Lydia."I understand, but the company is currently in dire straits. Please go home, and I'll compensate all of you partially when the company's situation improves in the future
