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
Henry hung up the phone, and Cheryl asked, "Was that your wife?""Yeah.""I think I heard something about divorce papers?""Nothing much—she wants to divorce me.""She wants to divorce you?" Cheryl's eyes lit up.Henry snapped out of it, distracted by something else, and quickly said, "She's just joking because she's angry.""Oh, your wife must be beautiful and gentle, right?""Uh, she's beautiful but not really gentle." Henry could not help but smile wryly."Oh, I must meet her someday.""Yeah.""Anyway, Henry, we were serious just now. The bungalow is inappropriate for us. We need to purchase a new home with our own money," Cheryl said."Okay, I will make a call and see if any good properties are available in this neighborhood." Henry took out his phone."There's no need; let us find something outside on our own." Maison did not wish to live in the same neighborhood as Henry."It will be too troublesome that way, and we can look out for each other staying in the same nei
The photo clearly showed Henry and Alex meeting in a restaurant near the Crazy Bar to eat and chat.Furthermore, the timing of the photo was uncanny—it was taken the day before she was drugged, so she could not ignore it.At that point, Sarah called her and said, "You saw the photo, right? However, it doesn't prove much. Perhaps we misunderstood him."Sarah went on to say, "But the timing is too perfect.""There's no such thing as that perfect timing," Lydia exclaimed angrily. Despite her suspicions, she never expected it to be true.Sarah sighed and said, "Well, things don't just fall into place like that. But I always thought Henry was poor; I never expected him to be so cunning.""He's not cunning; he's shameless!""That bastard! I'll make sure he pays for it if he's the mastermind behind drugging you."Lydia cursed and asked, "Where did these photos come from?"Sarah immediately responded with the answer she had planned. "I hired a private detective to track Alex's movemen
