Mike's face was filled with surprise when he saw that.Winson was there, too. Even though he had no special ability, he looked really handsome. Winson, the Joneses' second young master, enjoyed eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling.That was excellent—Henry would be in trouble.After all, the Jones family was considered one of Hodbridge's four major families. Although they were not as powerful as the Fords, their disparity was insignificant. Henry, who had been relying on the Fords' support, would be in serious trouble.When Winson heard Walter's words, his expression changed slightly. Was he referring to Henry and the lovely lady beside him when he mentioned the two poor people who took the seat?Winson was familiar with the lovely lady. Henry loved her very much.Henry had previously spent 150 million to buy a villa for her. The main point was that the beautiful lady did not want it, so he had to do his best to trick her into accepting it.Walter expected Winson to supp
"Mr. Truman, I was in the wrong, and I was ignorant. I have offended you."I'm sorry, Mr. Truman, please give me a chance. As long as you are willing to forgive me, I can do whatever you want."As Walter spoke, he started slapping himself several times continuously.Linda's face darkened when she saw that. At that moment, she finally understood that the status of the young man in front of her was beyond her imagination."Why are you still standing there? Kneel and slap yourself," Walter said angrily when he saw Linda standing still and looking stupid.Walter was furious as he said, "If anything were to happen to me, you'd die too."Linda became terrified in an instant, and her legs weakened. She immediately knelt and slapped herself, just like Walter did.She knew Walter was a ruthless individual.Everyone discreetly shook their heads. One should never judge a book by its cover. Everyone who could enter the restaurant was not an ordinary person.Cheryl contemplated the inciden
Walter and Linda's faces paled as they listened to those words, and they begged for mercy. "We're sorry, Ms. Handby. We messed up. Please give us another chance.""Please! You're like our savior.""Please forgive me, Ms. Handby, for the sake of our past as classmates. I know it's my fault, and I'll be more respectful of you from now on." Linda was so scared that she peed herself.Cheryl was also startled. Henry's words had terrified her, too. She quickly replied, "Alright, you've been punished; let's forget about it."Both of them felt relieved as soon as they heard that; their entire bodies went limp.The incident was too frightening for them.Sean also breathed a sigh of relief because he had not made a significant mistake. Otherwise, he would have been done for the day."Care to sit down, Henry?" Winson asked as soon as the matter was resolved."Not at all. Get yourself another place to eat, Young Master," Henry spoke indifferently."Okay!" Winson complied and walked away q
Benjamin erupted in rage and laughed. "I never imagined that I, Young Master Ford, would be humiliated by an unknown man today."No matter who you are, you're done."Benjamin's words shocked everyone around him."Wait! What did he say? Young Master Ford?"No one in Hodbridge would ever claim to be Young Master Ford unless he were the son of Hodbridge's wealthiest man.The wealthiest man in Hodbridge had only one son.Mike's face changed dramatically. They had been interacting with the Fords a lot lately, but the problem was that he did not know Benjamin.The people around them were even more surprised.'Damn! What a shocking scene!'"What's going on with this restaurant today? Second Young Master Jones, Mr. Truman, and even Young Master Ford have arrived!"Lily was also stunned.Even though she did not know anyone from the Fords, she had undoubtedly heard of them. She asked, trembling, "You're the son of Jeffery, the wealthiest man in Hodbridge?""Exactly! What? Do you regr
"Yes, yes! Henry!"Mike believed Henry would be able to save him.He immediately turned to Henry and shouted, "Save me, Brother. Save me!"His words stunned everyone momentarily, but they quickly shook their heads.No one could save him from Benjamin, the only son of Hodbridge's wealthiest man.Mike would definitely get Henry into trouble!"Brother?"Your brother is here? Okay, point him out."I want to see what kind of brother would dare to stand up for you!"Ben looked around with contempt in his eyes. He believed that no one would dare to speak against him now.Lily wore a pitiful expression and was deeply sorry. She could tell Benjamin genuinely liked her and wanted to marry her.If she had married Benjamin, who was envied and feared by many, she would have risen to greater heights.After all, he was the son of the wealthiest man.However, she had ruined everything on her own.However, she decided to pretend because she saw how heartbroken Benjamin was for her; perhap
The most excited people in the crowd were undoubtedly Walter and Linda, who had not left yet. Even though they knew they could not compare to Henry, they would be overjoyed if he were punished.However, just as everyone assumed Henry would have a bad time, Benjamin's expression changed dramatically.His focus had been on Lily and Mike. He had yet to notice Henry, who sat at the side, because Sean and the others had blocked his view.Everyone sighed inwardly when Benjamin's expression changed.'It's over. The mysterious Mr. Truman is in trouble. Benjamin must be furious.'After all, publicly humiliating Benjamin would be equivalent to attempting suicide.As expected, Benjamin strode toward Henry, ready to act.However, everyone was shocked when they saw what happened next.They saw Benjamin approach Henry cautiously and say, "Dr. Truman, why are you here? I apologize for not seeing you just now.""Oh, is that right? I thought you were so powerful that you even ignored me," Henr
Some people were shocked, some were happy, and some did not appear to be pleased.If Henry were Mike's brother-in-law, it would mean he already had a wife, and she would definitely be Mike's sister.Cheryl had suspected Henry had a wife, but she had never seen her.However, the news she received that day crushed her little dream.Benjamin looked nervous, forgot about Lily, and asked carefully, "He's your brother-in-law, Dr. Truman?""Yeah." Henry nodded.Henry's response had made Cheryl's expression even more solemn."Oh, I didn't realize that," Benjamin explained before quickly apologizing."So, how do we settle this?" Henry asked."Well, since you've spoken up, let's just forget about it. Please excuse me for being impolite," Benjamin said."Don't worry about it! You've helped me, and I'll help you too. I'm interested in this girl; can you give her to me?" Henry asked.Benjamin was stunned for a moment, and his face paled. That was humiliating.Henry's boldness surprised
Lily's cluelessness left everyone speechless.Benjamin felt a lot better following Henry's actions. He finally saw Lily's true colors. He turned to Henry and said, "Thanks for helping me, Dr. Truman."Henry responded casually, "No problem. Actually, it wasn't just me."Henry looked at Mike as he said, "He's completely out of line and has no shame. But, if you think about it, he did help you as well."He helped you see through this woman's ruse. Otherwise, who knows how long she would've duped you. The problem would've worsened if she had married into the Ford family."Benjamin nodded in agreement. If not for Mike, he might have married that woman.Lily finally understood what Henry had done. She felt embarrassed.She squandered yet another opportunity to justify herself. Things would have turned out very differently if she had simply said that she only liked Benjamin.Mike quickly replied, "Yes, yes, I was just trying to—""Shut it!" Henry snapped coldly.Mike would have expl
