"That's right. It seems like Mr. Carter was right.""Yes, this is great. Henry, thank you."Lydia's eyes displayed great excitement. Even though the exact situation was still unknown, the two companies—one the acquirer and the other the acquiree—were about to hold a joint press conference, which was exactly the same as the information that Henry mentioned.That meant a decision had been made. They would just have to wait for the time for the press conference."If the acquisition really takes place this time, we must thank Mr. Carter. Without him, Hodbridge would have no position left," Lydia said."Yes, we should be grateful." Henry agreed."Let's go there together later, then.""Great."John learned about the news very quickly after being informed by Lydia, and he felt immediate relief.Jennifer and her husband were stunned. They could not believe it. There was no way the acquisition would take place. What if it really took place? Who would care about their defrauded money?
That was a wonderful event for the Millers, but Jennifer was not pleased. She murmured, "How can this happen? How can this happen?"She yelled, "Henry, you shameless person! You cheated us again."Henry was enjoying Lydia's voluntary embrace and was still in the moment. He did not expect an attack to come on him so suddenly.Lydia was furious, yelling, "Mother, what are you talking about?""I'm not talking nonsense. If Henry hadn't told you, you wouldn't have agreed to take over my investment." Jennifer was angry.She felt wronged, so she said, "Henry, you need to compensate me."Even William was too embarrassed to say anything at the time.Lydia was furious, saying, "Mother, please be reasonable!""What do you mean? When am I not reasonable? So, you've forgotten about your mother since you have a man, is that it?"What a miserable life I have! Why did I give birth to such an unfilial daughter?""Enough! Aren't you embarrassed?" John exclaimed angrily, "Go back to your room i
"Alright!""Henry, it's getting late. You must be busy, so I won't insist you stay." John's attitude at that point was very different from before."Alright. I'll take my leave now!"Henry nodded, then stood up and left.Lydia hesitated before standing up and following him.John frowned. Had his granddaughter fallen for Henry?Henry was a good man. Regardless, he was ordinary, with no powerful allies to support him. He could not possibly protect Lydia for the rest of her life.On the contrary, the grandson of his old friend's friend was attractive, capable, and had a strong family background. He was an ideal candidate."Henry, Grandpa is not in a good mood. Please don't be upset with him." Lydia comforted him."I won't. Besides, it's enough for you to be nice to me; nothing else matters." Henry did not want her to worry too much. Her family was indeed extremely harsh on him.He would have demonstrated his power if it had not been for Lydia.When Lydia heard that, she assumed
Richard smiled bitterly. He wanted to say he guessed it himself, but that was impossible. As such, he was obligated to tell the truth. However, he did not reveal Henry's identity because he did not want anyone to know it.His leader did not press him further; instead, he simply asked him to develop a positive relationship with that person. That person was unquestionably powerful and had excellent connections throughout Azurecrest.Richard was shocked when he hung up the phone. What terrifying background did Dr. Truman come from?Coincidentally, his son Derek visited him. Derek could not help but ask when he noticed his father's shocked expression.Richard did not hide anything from his son.Derek was also taken aback by what he had heard. Henry's status rose to new heights in his mind.After he returned, Derek called Winson and said, "Winson, if you can connect with Dr. Truman, you may be able to change your destiny.""What's wrong? What happened?" Winson asked hurriedly.Derek
"Even if the Brandon Group is in our hands now, it's still a dead end.""I understand; this is entirely my fault. If not for me, we wouldn't have offended Henry, the monster."Lewis immediately grasped the situation.Henry's capabilities exceeded his ability to compete. Eliminating him was, to Henry, as simple as killing an ant.At the same time, the Millers received the news quickly. They started to mourn.Everyone was so sad that they almost wanted to die.John's face looked terrible. His granddaughter had strongly requested to keep the shares. However, due to his intense pressure, she was forced to return them in exchange for money.Even so, they did not lose anything and might have even made a small profit. However, all the money made belonged to the Miller family.It was clear that if he had waited a little longer, the Miller family's assets would have doubled. He had squandered an excellent opportunity.Lydia, on the other hand, initially felt depressed before gradually
When Henry heard that, he shook his head and said, "Let's forget about it because we're getting divorced soon. It will cause problems if anyone learns about it.""You can't be doing nothing every day.""I have things to do.""Do you have something to do? What will you have to do? Tell me," Lydia said, sounding annoyed."Well, that's hard to say.""Well, I suppose it's not convenient to discuss it? Are you going to mess around with your girlfriend?" Lydia snorted coldly, uncomfortable at the thought of it."That's not true! I promise—there will be no other woman except you," Henry said."Shush! What woman?"Lydia blushed, but her heart was filled with indescribable joy. She said, "Forget it since you're unwilling to do it. It also saves me the trouble of arranging a position for you."That's right. I don't need money because I have your support.""I really admire you! If you keep living like this, how will you survive after we divorce?" Lydia said."Allow nature to take its c
"Yes.""Lydia, I think I saw someone we know just now." Sarah hesitated."Who? It can't be Henry, right?" Lydia asked."Certainly not. If it were Henry, there was no point in mentioning him.""Who, then?""Well, I don't know if I should tell you." Sarah seemed particularly embarrassed."There's nothing we can't say between us.""Okay, then. I believe you have the right to know about this situation. The person I saw was Alex Carter, the one who owed you money and caused you problems previously."Lydia was startled and said, "What's so strange about seeing him? My grudge against him is over.""But the problem is he was with...""What are you talking about? Since when do you talk like this?""He was with Henry, and they seemed close.""What's wrong with that?""Of course, something is wrong."Lydia, did you forget? You lost your virginity because Alex poisoned you with the medicine. Henry happened to appear and steal your virginity."Alex then caused trouble for you, and He
"Nothing. What are you holding?" Sarah deliberately changed the subject."A friend gave me a bottle of wine. It smells great."Henry smiled as he asked Lydia, "Why don't we try it together?"He could not figure out what was making Lydia so miserable.Lydia eventually came to her senses. She had just begun to form a favorable opinion of Henry. She did not want what Sarah said to be true. She was extremely upset and uncomfortable.When she noticed Henry acting as if he felt nothing, she could not help but ask him, "Henry, let me ask you a question, and you must answer it truthfully."Sarah's expression changed slightly. Why did Lydia not take her advice? With the two of them facing each other, it would be much easier to discuss things and avoid misunderstandings.Henry looked at Sarah; was it something she had said?"Don't look at Sarah. This situation has nothing to do with Sarah.""Don't worry, Lydia. The case has not been confirmed. You can ask him again once you've understoo
