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
Mike seemed much more relaxed than the others. He sat next to Henry and said, "You were amazing today. I never realized you were so powerful!""Who said you could sit down?" Henry frowned.Mike jumped up in a panic, saying, "I know I've made mistakes before and done many stupid things. But I promise to change. And I'll definitely persuade my sister to stay with you!"Cheryl listened with curiosity.Did Henry have a wife? What type of person was she?"Forget it. I don't need your help." Henry shook his head."That's right. You'd be able to win over my sister easily. She'd fall head over heels for you if she knew how amazing you are." Mike kept complimenting Henry; no wonder he could fool so many women."Enough. I helped you today solely for your sister's sake. You're done here; get lost," Henry said."Are you still upset with me for being ignorant? I'm fully aware of my mistake, and I will not repeat it," Mike said."Forget it; I don't have time to be mad at you. Don't tell you
"Yes, do you like her?""Yeah.""Are you going to marry her, then?" Maison asked directly.When Henry heard that, he quickly replied, "I'm married.""So, you have a wife. Why would you still flirt with Cheryl if you're married and claim to like her?" Maison spoke with a slight rage."You've misunderstood, Auntie. I like Cheryl like a sister," Henry explained quickly."You gave her a 15 million-dollar bungalow just because of that?" Maison was shocked. She would not have moved in unless Cheryl had agreed.Henry replied, "Yes.""I'm not sure if I believe you, but this bungalow is inappropriate for us. And we have a million and fifty thousand dollars on hand, which is enough to buy a nice house." Maison shook her head.Henry paused for a moment, realizing he might have been too hasty.He wanted to make things right with the two of them. Without him, the orphanage would not have suffered such a devastating fire. What made him even more nervous was that he still had not found the
"What do you think?" Lydia snorted coldly."He went crazy and tried to persuade my mom to be good to you, saying you're especially outstanding."Henry could not help but laugh. He believed Mike had said something else. He smiled and said, "I think he's right.""Bullshit! Do you even realize what a mess we're in now? We're even running out of time to get the divorce papers!"The more Lydia talked, the angrier she became. She was uncomfortable with the prospect of them receiving the divorce papers. She suggested getting it a month later, and it had been more than half a month."We don't have to get it then," Henry said."Hmph, you wish!" Lydia said, but she had considered it herself. They could simply extend the time. After all, Henry suggested it, not her."Wait a minute; where are you going with this? Tell me—what did you do to Mike that made him suddenly like you so much?" Lydia asked."I did nothing. Ask him if you don't believe me!""I would not have called you if he had to
