Everyone was completely dumbfounded!Lydia appreciated Henry for protecting her, but she was also upset by his ignorance.He was definitely seeking trouble.Sebastian erupted in anger."You're looking for death!"He slapped Henry without hesitation.Lydia was frightened. Young Master York was definitely a martial arts expert.She knew Henry had learned martial arts, but she did not know if he could dodge it.Henry remained calm. He did not try to dodge it but counter-attacked when Sebastian got close enough.Smack!Sebastian let out a miserable grunt as he was slapped across the entire cheek.Everyone was stunned.They had not even reacted! They thought Henry would have gotten slapped.Sebastian was outraged.He thought he had been careless and tried to slap Henry again.Sebastian leaped forward to slap him.Everyone was shocked; it was powerful.However, Henry looked at them disdainfully. He stood still and raised his right root.Bang!He kicked Sebastian, and the m
The staff took the card and swiped it immediately. It was real.When everything was settled, the staff returned the dress and card to Henry. She said, "Here's your dress and card, sir."Henry kept the card and held the dress in his hand.Sebastian's heart trembled as he realized that the card was authentic.He walked away quickly and called his uncle.He had to confirm if he had offended a big shot and resolve it quickly if it was true. Otherwise, it would be miserable for him, even implicating the Yorks.Lydia was stunned, and she looked bitter."You've caused a lot of trouble, Henry," she said."It's fine. I can handle it!" Henry did not think it was an issue."You can handle it? How will bumpkins like you handle this?"Do you think you're invincible just because you know some martial arts?""That's not what I mean." Henry tried to explain."Whatever. This is not something you can handle, and no one can help you this time." Lydia felt somewhat desperate.Even though Henr
He remembered Sarah called the man Henry.It was him.Sebastian remembered his uncle telling him Henry preferred to keep a low profile, so he should not reveal his identity. As a result, he bowed to Henry from afar and immediately left with the woman.He would find another chance to apologize to Henry later.The woman did not expect Sebastian to leave just like that, and she refused to leave.Sebastian slapped her several times before she became obedient.Lydia was taken aback when she saw what Sebastian had done.He did not appear to be calling for backup, but the crisis has been resolved."I did not expect Lewis to be so powerful that even Sebastian is afraid of him." Sarah was astonished.Lydia nodded and said, "I did not expect it either. It seems like Lewis is much more powerful than we thought. We owe him for this.""That's true, unlike someone who only knows how to create trouble." Sarah looked at Henry.Henry remained calm. The blame was nothing to him as he had expe
The woman was stunning, and her perfect figure was visible beneath the black dress.The night breeze seemed to sway in awe of her beauty.She immediately drew a lot of attention, completely overshadowing Sarah, who was walking behind her.Let alone Henry, who was dressed casually."Who is that? She's so gorgeous.""How can you not know her? She's Ms. Miller, the CEO of the Miller Group, the beautiful CEO of Hodbridge.""Oh, it's her. No wonder she looked aloof."At the same time, another luxury car pulled over, and a well-dressed gentleman in expensive branded menswear stepped out. He was followed by two siblings, Luiz and Lucy Spencer, whom Henry had met at the fencing club.It was Lewis."Lydia!" He greeted her."You're here." Lydia smiled.Lydia and her friends had avoided a major crisis thanks to Lewis' assistance that day, so Lydia's attitude toward him had significantly improved."You look gorgeous today. All eyes are on you." Lewis praised her."That's true. But you
Luiz was astonished when he saw who had appeared."Gorgeous! Strikingly gorgeous! What a beautiful lady with such purity!"She wore a white gown, her eyes sparkled like stars, and her ivory skin made her look like an elf from the mountains."Hey, nice to meet you." Luiz stepped forward to greet her excitedly.Unfortunately, she completely ignored him and proceeded toward Henry.She extended her right hand and smiled, saying, "Hi, nice to meet you, Mr. Truman."Henry raised his hand for a light touch and immediately let go. "Hi!"Chansey seemed more vibrant; she looked beyond mortal purity.Chansey was taken aback. That was the first time she had encountered such indifference from a man."Thank you for saving my life last time.""Not at all.""Shall we chat at the seats?" Chansey suggested.Henry nodded; he did not want to continue listening to nonsense from the siblings.Luiz only snapped back to his senses after Henry and Chansey walked away."Damn! How did that bumpkin
"Oh?"Chansey was surprised.Even though she did not know much about Henry, she had heard from her father that he was a powerful man.At the very least, she had witnessed his miraculous medical abilities.Lewis thought she bought into his words and said, "Yes, not only that, but he is also a bumpkin from the countryside. He has no money, no talent.""He would not even be able to join us if I didn't help with his invitation.""Oh, I should thank you then for allowing me the chance to get close to Henry," Chansey said with a bright smile.Lewis was speechless. It seemed the lady could not understand his words."Please think about it, beauty. There are no wealthy heirs you can't meet. Why bother getting involved with this trash?" Lewis said.Chansey became irritated upon hearing that.She retorted coldly. "I think you're the trash instead.""I—"Lewis felt as if he was about to spit blood. He tried to help her, but she insulted him.He thought Henry's sweet talk must have dec
After all, there was some good news.Bowen York supported the Millers in joining the chamber after Lewis introduced her to others.Bowen was one of the six directors of the Everising Chamber of Commerce. The Millers had a good chance of being admitted to the chamber.Lewis nodded and walked aside.He scolded the siblings. "What's wrong with you two? I brought you here to embarrass Henry. Why does he look so comfortable?"Luiz looked aggrieved and said, "We did, but he ignored us."And he seemed very relaxed attending occasions like this, not as nervous as we expected."I feel like he's not as simple as he seems.""Bullshit, he just doesn't feel ashamed."Lewis sneered. "Forget about that. This is perfect. It will annoy Lydia even more, making it easier for me to win her over."Even though Lydia was annoyed by what Henry did, the progress regarding joining the chamber was significant.Lydia's mood was relatively fine.Her phone rang. It was Bowen."Mr. York!" Lydia immediat
"Stop making calls, Henry. Do you think you're Mr. Ford's trusted aide or family?" Sarah scolded as Henry was still trying to blow his trumpet."Don't bother about him, Lydia. We don't have much time left. Let's find Lewis. He might be able to help us with this."Lydia shook her head and said, "He can't help much. He was kind enough to introduce me to many high-level chamber members today."She believed no one could change Mr. Ford's decision, even if it were Lewis."Well, we can't just sit here and do nothing. I'll go ask my friends." Sarah got up and left.Lydia sighed helplessly as she watched Sarah leave.She thought that had been finalized.Henry walked to the side and called Jeffery with displeasure. "What's going on, Jeffery? I thought you'd let the Millers join the chamber?""Ah—" Jeffery was stunned for a moment.Then, he said hastily, "I did let the Millers join, and I even reduced the slots into one to highlight the importance and ensure the Millers are able to join
