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
It would have been much easier if Jennifer had remained silent.Henry frowned. He could not reveal that he had arranged for Dustin to buy the Brandon Group. They would be even less likely to believe him."You have nothing to say now, huh?""The lies are exposed, huh?""If you don't give us the money, I'll kill you today, Jennifer!" Someone even called out her name, demonstrating how desperate they were.Jennifer was furious. She had suffered enormous losses, and her personal savings had been wiped out.She was about to respond when she was taken aback by how agitated everyone was. Previously, everyone was polite because her daughter was the company's CEO. However, it looked like they had all gone crazy that day.Wayne raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, before turning to Lydia and saying, "Give me an explanation, Lydia."Lydia hesitated.Then, Henry said, "If they insist on a refund, maybe you can cover it for everyone, Lydia.""Henry, what are you talking about?
Henry recognized Lydia's rage and smiled. "Don't worry. I will not put you in a difficult position."In fact, I'm telling you the truth about the acquisition!"Mr. Carter disclosed this information to me. If you don't believe me, then at least believe Mr. Carter." Henry did not want to hide anything from Lydia."When did Mr. Carter say that?"Lydia was shocked. It might be true if it came from Bowen.Why, though?"I went to give Ethan an examination today, and he informed me. The reason is quite simple—the Brandon Group will avoid bankruptcy and soar.""What? How is that possible?" The news shook her even more."I was surprised, too, but Mr. Carter said so. But I'm not sure about the details." Henry wanted to tell Lydia about the city's new development plan. However, that was considered the most confidential information within the province. If leaked, it could have far-reaching negative consequences."It might be true if it's from Mr. Carter."After all, Bowen had previously
