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
Lewis's face fell. He had not expected the divine doctor to be Henry.He had even hoped to become his lackey.That was extremely humiliating for Lewis, especially because he had purposefully taken false credit for Henry's accomplishments and used it to mock and undermine him.He wished he could disappear as soon as he saw Sarah's gaze.Lydia almost trusted Henry completely at that point, especially since Henry's teacher was the renowned divine doctor mentioned by her grandfather. Even though she did not believe in so-called divine doctors and preferred modern instruments, the old divine doctor might have taught unique remedies that could cure various complex and rare diseases."I had misunderstood you, Henry. I'm sorry." Lydia apologized. Even though she disliked Henry, she made a mistake.Henry was stunned. He shook his head and said, "We are married. A small misunderstanding between us doesn't warrant an apology."Lydia's face turned red, and she was about to reprimand him. Ho
Lewis' father had spoken in a serious tone.He wanted to get to know the big shot in Mr. Ford's circle in the hopes that he could help save the Brandon Group. However, meeting him was currently impossible.The chamber would not help either.Lewis ended the call, a glint of indifference in his eyes.He paused for a moment and realized that the Millers were the only ones who still trusted him, making them easier to deceive.He had not won Lydia over yet, though. He was frustrated that he could not even defeat someone like Henry.Sarah felt no guilt toward Henry while in the car, and she felt Henry embarrassed her. "Why didn't Mr. Ford let you speak just now, Henry?" she asked."Maybe he was busy," Henry said after a hesitation."He's definitely busy, but it wouldn't cost him anything to spare a few minutes. I think he doesn't want to talk to you, so he doesn't want to waste time on you.""Maybe," Henry said indifferently."Stop acting like you don't care. Do you know what that
"A misunderstanding? We did join the chamber, right?" William and Jennifer were puzzled."Of course we did. I meant that Lewis had nothing to do with us joining the chamber. It was all thanks to Henry," Lydia said."Nothing to do with Lewis, and thanks to Henry?""Are you out of your mind, Lydia?"Both of them looked incredulous; they could not believe it at all.Even John was stunned. It seemed impossible, but Lydia should not be making things up because she did not like Henry."It's true."Lydia quickly explained what happened that night."So that's how it is!"John said happily, "I didn't expect your medical skills to be so amazing, Henry. It seems you've truly inherited the old divine doctor's skills.""I'm flattered, Grandpa Miller," Henry said modestly."Not at all. Did you plan to use this favor to help the day before yesterday when we discussed this?""Kind of.""I see. It was my fault for not believing in you, and I even scolded you."John's words made Lydia reca
"Understood," Henry replied."Good. Let's go get the divorce papers after I convince Grandpa," Lydia said."Sure." Henry nodded.Even though he was unwilling to do so, he would never force someone to do something against their will.Lydia breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Henry truly understood.They had different upbringings, and forcing themselves to be together would not lead to happiness.Henry went back to his room. His phone rang as he was about to lie down, and it was a call from Chansey."Ms. Ford!""Didn't we agree for you to call me Chansey?" Chansey pouted."Fine. Chansey!""Why do you sound so unwilling? Am I that annoying?""How is that possible? A man who says you're annoying is simply not a man.""That's more like it. Are you free tomorrow night?""What's up?""Accompany me to an event.""We're not that close. Why would you invite me to an event?""But you're my beloved Henry. Aren't we close enough?""I'm busy!"Henry hung up the phone.Chansey s
'He still denied the other day that he said nothing to her; what a jerk.'It's only the second day they met, and he's already eagerly making plans with her.'Lydia became irritated suddenly; she had planned to bring him to an event that night.Henry quickly got into the car.Chansey appeared pleased as she started the car and drove away.Lydia was outraged as she watched them leave. She had no idea how she felt, even though she had insisted on getting rid of Henry.She could not take it when she saw Henry hanging out with another beautiful woman.It must be because he was married to her, and going out with other women was considered cheating.That must be it!They were not on the same level anyway, and it was bound to happen eventually.The immediate task was to secure the massive loan from the bank.At that moment, no one noticed that someone was secretly watching Henry leave.The man took out his phone and made a call. "Henry has left, Lewis.""Good!"Lewis hung up the
