"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
Sebastian had uttered those coldly."Yes, yes."Luiz's face paled dramatically as he was overcome with fear and anger. The Yorks' leader was a prominent Everising Chamber of Commerce member, and they could not afford to mess with that man.He fled from the banquet with Lucy, feeling helpless.It got little attention because the banquet hall was quite large, and it was handled quickly.That was precisely what Sebastian wanted, as his uncle had mentioned that Henry was a low-key person who did not want his powerful identity revealed.Then, Sebastian greeted Henry respectfully. "Nice to see you here, Mr. Truman."Henry nodded and asked, "Weren't you quite arrogant last time? Why did you leave suddenly at that time?"Sebastian forced a bitter smile and explained, "I saw you with the Everising Platinum Card, and I knew that Mr. Ford had given it to a big shot named Truman."Henry nodded. "I see."Thanks for that, then.""You're most welcome, Mr. Truman. I offended you due to my i
At that moment, Sarah returned with a helpless look.She knew no one more powerful than Lewis. So she found Lewis and informed him of the situation.After hearing Sarah speak, Lewis shook his head. He could not do anything; even if his father intervened, it would not help.He pretended to make a phone call in front of Sarah in an attempt to find a solution.After all that, he walked back with Sarah."Sarah just informed me that something unexpected happened with the Millers joining the chamber. Is this true, Lydia?" Lewis asked with a concerned expression.Lydia nodded."I did not expect such a thing to happen. But I've already called my father and strongly demanded that he help." Lewis sighed."You called your father?"Lydia was stunned. Was it possible that Mr. Ford called her not because of Henry but Lewis's father?It made sense. Henry had just arrived from his home in the mountains and only had some martial arts skills. How could he possibly know Mr. Ford?On the other
How did the Millers get their seat in the chamber? It could not have been Henry to help them.'Impossible!'"Yeah, I must thank you again, Lewis." Lydia expressed her gratitude."Don't worry about it. I'm happy to help you join the chamber." Lewis did not care much. He wanted to take the credit anyway."Look, Henry. Lewis resolved the issue that would determine the Millers' fate with a single phone call."And you are only sitting there, daydreaming. How can you compare with Lewis?"Lewis replied proudly, "Not really. I believe Henry is quite good at sweet-talking girls. That girl just now appears to be quite protective of him."Lydia became even more upset when she heard Lewis mention that and remembered Chansey from earlier.Henry was speechless. He said calmly, "Are you sure he helped with this matter?""Who else could it be if not him? You? Are you going to say that Mr. Ford worked for you, and you called him to settle it?" Sarah sneered."That's enough!"Lydia was afraid
Jeffery looked around the room and fixed his gaze on Henry for a moment before smiling and saying, "Today, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who attended tonight's banquet. I believe everyone must have had a very fruitful evening."The crowd responded affirmatively; they agreed on that.After a brief opening statement, Jeffery went right to the point. "Now, I would like to announce that the only company joining the Everising Chamber of Commerce this year is—"Jeffery deliberately paused and scanned the crowd.Those hoping to join held their breath, staring at him intently.Lydia was particularly focused, her gaze locked onto Jeffery.Even though she had the news, there was still room for uncertainty until it was announced publicly."It is the Miller Group led by Ms. Lydia Miller!"Jeffery announced loudly.It really was the Miller Group. Lydia was overjoyed by the announcement.She was well aware of her family's predicament. The only way for the famil
Lewis' face fell. He thought Mr. Ford would not reveal the name of the divine doctor. Even if he did, Lewis could still claim that his father found the divine doctor. He said, "The Brandons are a prestigious family in the Hodbrigde. Finding a divine doctor is nothing."Henry chuckled.Lewis felt uneasy because of Lewis' laughter, as if something was wrong.However, Sarah could not tolerate it and rebuked, "What are you laughing at, Henry? Did Lewis say it wrongly? Could a bumpkin like you find a divine doctor?""You are truly a bootlicker. Aren't you afraid of licking the wrong person's boot?" Henry shook his head; he found Sarah very annoying."What did you say?" Sarah got angry."Henry!"Even Lydia was angry; she felt Henry had gone too far.She scolded him. "Stop talking!"Meanwhile, Jeffery shouted, "That's right, he is Mr. Henry Truman of the Miller Group! I would like to thank Mr. Truman again for saving my daughter's life.""The banquet has come to an end. You are free
