"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
Was it because of Cheryl? What did Mike say? If Lydia were so upset about Cheryl that she was willing to get the divorce papers without asking, Henry did not have much to say.However, Lydia became even angrier when she heard that. "Okay, it appears that you've been preparing for this day for a long time; you just want to get divorced, right? Fine, I'll be waiting for you!"Lydia hung up the phone in a huff. Did that jerk intend to get divorced immediately after his scheme was exposed? For some reason, just thinking about it made her extremely angry and upset.Henry was baffled. What did she mean when she said he was ready for the divorce? Was she not the one who wanted to divorce him? He reluctantly put his phone away.Cheryl asked, "What's wrong, Henry?""Nothing, just a little misunderstanding.""Is it because of me? I can accompany you and explain our relationship." Cheryl heard Lydia was upset because she discovered something and wanted a divorce."No, it's not. Don't worry
When Lydia saw Henry's expression, her heart sank even deeper, and she said coldly, "So, you did know him all along.""No, wait, I haven't admitted anything yet." Henry quickly interjected."Yet?" Lydia's voice trembled with anger. "So, you did know him all along. You're just not planning to admit it?""Certainly not! I really didn't know him before that!" Henry quickly explained."I told you—the first time we met was when he came looking for you to collect a debt.""Well, it appears you will not tell me the truth, huh? I have evidence," Lydia responded, visibly shaking with rage."You have evidence?" Henry asked."Of course! I saw your true colors today. I never expected you to be so shameless!" Lydia said coldly.She remembered her anger and despair at losing her virginity at the time, and even though she believed it was her fault, she never suspected it was all planned.Henry occasionally played the savior role, leading her to consider marrying him. Fortunately, she learned
"You look down on me just the same, don't you? Is that still the case now? People change, especially when they know I'm competent," Henry said."Are you that competent? If you didn't use your medical skills to save a few big shots, you would've been finished because of your arrogance," Lydia said."Okay, let's not dwell on that. I will undoubtedly reveal the truth with this photograph!" Henry said.He took out his phone, sent a photo, and then called Alex, who answered quickly."What can I do for you, Mr. Truman?" Alex responded respectfully."I sent you a photograph. Take a look and tell me who that is," Henry asked.Alex looked at it, stunned. "Damn! Who has nothing better to do than photoshop a picture of me and my brother and replace it with you? I had dinner with him that day.""Do you have any photos of you two from that time?" Henry asked."I don't, but I was near the restaurant, and there should be some surveillance footage," Alex said."Go check it then!""Okay!"Al
"No, we don't have to, but you're forcing my hand," Lydia said. She felt uneasy at the thought of Henry scheming to make her lose her virginity to him."So, does that mean you don't want a divorce?" Henry asked deliberately."It doesn't matter what I want. If you can prove your innocence, then we won't go," Lydia replied."Sorry, I can't. But I can assure you that this is a fake photo. I truly didn't know him then," Henry said."Believe it or not, it's up to you." Henry no longer insisted. He decided to let Lydia make her own choice.That made Lydia somewhat at a loss, her expression changing constantly as she was about to speak."We have another option," Henry said."What option?""The Miller Group is big; you should have some experts. Send this photo to them for analysis, then we'll know," Henry said."Fine, since you insist, I'll do as you say," Lydia said. She was initially hesitant to let others see the photo. However, since Henry suggested it, she made a call and sent th
