"It's impossible for you to be with Mr. Truman. Did you know Lydia and Mr. Truman had been destined to be together since childhood?" Jeffery revealed everything about Henry's anxious search for the little girl.Chansey was stunned after hearing everything. She had not expected Henry and Lydia to have such a deep connection. He had been looking for Lydia, the angel in his heart, all that time."Is that true, Dad?" Chansey asked."Of course. Why do you think Mr. Truman, with all of his abilities, tolerates the Millers' and Lydia's behavior and disrespect?" Jeffery explained.He also wished Chansey could be with Henry; being the father-in-law of a Master of Golden Liberty would be an honor. However, it was impossible.Since it was impossible, he needed to make other plans for Chansey and avoid allowing her to become overly involved with Henry. Furthermore, Ted was an exceptional man. He had promised that Jeffery would advance to Grandmaster if he married Chansey to Ted.Jeffery woul
Finally, Chansey agreed.Jeffery breathed a sigh of relief as Chansey agreed to his request.Such opportunities were exceedingly rare—unless Henry married Chansey, there was no better option than to marry Ted."But don't tell Mr. Truman about this.""Why?""He might believe you've been wronged and actively oppose the Chapman Legacy for you. They wield immense power, and Mr. Truman's opposition to them will fail.""I understand, but isn't he only in love with his wife? Why would he defy the Chapman Legacy for me?""Who knows? He loves his wife, but he also has feelings for you. He might act rashly and believe he's powerful enough to intervene.""I see."Chansey felt a little happier after hearing Jeffery's words. At the very least, she retained some of Henry's affection. However, as soon as she realized the terrifying power of the Chapman Legacy, she suppressed the urge to tell Henry everything and waited to see if Henry would defend her.At the same time, Simon received feedb
"Alright, can you tell me now what's really bothering you?" Henry asked."Nothing, just feeling troubled," Chansey replied."There must be a reason for it.""Please don't ask, Henry. Just come with me to relax tonight.""Okay." Henry did not inquire further.After some time driving, the car stopped in front of a bar. Chansey got out of the car and pulled Henry in.Once inside, they were met with wild, colorful lights that flickered incessantly and deafening music pounding in everyone's hearts. Men and women on the dance floor danced wildly to show off their best sides without regard for physical contact between the sexes."Why are we here?" Henry did not particularly enjoy that type of environment."To relax!" Chansey replied as she went to the bar and ordered several drinks before finding a place to sit.Henry reluctantly complied.After sitting down, Chansey drank several drinks in a row before they could begin talking. She even choked herself, and her cheeks turned red, wh
While Henry enjoyed himself, it was clear that he also felt lost. Lydia's angry expression flashed through his mind. He quickly regained his composure and reminded himself of his promise to Lydia—to love only her. He could not allow himself to be so reckless.At that point, the music ceased, and everyone stopped moving, with many focusing on Henry and Chansey in the center of the dance floor.After Chansey stopped dancing, her face flushed even more, and she collapsed against Henry. However, she appeared to enjoy it.Henry attempted to push Chansey away as the music stopped. He whispered, "Everyone's watching; let's go.""Carry me. I can't face anyone," Chansey muttered.Henry felt helpless. He could not stand being the focal point of the crowd. So he lifted Chansey and walked down the dance floor, eliciting envious looks from those watching.When they arrived at their seats, Chansey refused to leave Henry's side.Henry had no choice but to sit down, and Chansey was technically
"What's wrong with that? If you say another, I'll kill you!" Henry was speechless. He wondered why such nobodies behaved so arrogantly."You think you can kill me? Come on! I'm right in front of you. Do it if you can," the man said, laughing loudly and leaning closer."Idiot!" Henry cursed and kicked him hard.The man hesitated momentarily and attempted to flee, but there was nowhere to go. The powerful kick sent him flying, and he landed heavily in the distance.The force was terrifying. Even the man's companions swallowed nervously and stepped back quickly.They were aware that they had gotten themselves into serious trouble.Henry did not bother with them, instead picking up Chansey and walking away. There was no benefit of staying there, neither for him nor for Chansey.Chansey remained silent, burying her head in Henry's chest. She was embarrassed, but his embrace was the warmest she had ever felt. She wished she could remain in that position indefinitely.However, Henry h
The next morning, at 9:00 a.m., Henry had not yet gotten out of bed when his phone rang. Jennifer called and insisted on going over for a visit.He did not have time for them, so he declined. However, Jennifer insisted, and he reluctantly agreed to meet them at the company. After all, he needed to go to the office.Jennifer was surprised to learn Henry was already working at Lydia's company. Although she would have been furious in the past, she was secretly pleased about it then, believing Lydia had made the right choice in Henry.The couple arrived at the company at 10:00 a.m. and wanted to speak with Henry. Lydia was startled. She led them into her office, reminding them that no one knew Henry was her husband.Jennifer would undoubtedly be unhappy if she were unaware of Chansey and Henry's relationship. She believed that everyone should know about it.However, Jennifer secretly praised Lydia, believing her daughter was very clever. Thanks to that, things would be easier moving f
"Wait! Who told you I'd be the Fords' son-in-law?""Think about it. Mr. Ford values you highly. Do you understand, Henry, that your fate will be miserable if you go against his wishes?"Furthermore, I heard Mr. Ford's daughter is gorgeous, even more charming than Lydia," William said.Jennifer whispered, "I know you like Lydia, Henry. But becoming the Fords' son-in-law is the most important thing for you."If you truly like Lydia, you can get closer to her in the future. Just be careful not to get her pregnant, and don't tell Mr. Ford."Lydia was stunned and annoyed by those words. "Mom, what are you talking about?""I'm saying this for your own good. You don't want to let Henry go, right? By doing so, he can become the Fords' son-in-law and gain significant influence, while you can spend time with your loved one," Jennifer said."Stop it, Mom, you're making me angry." Lydia was very upset about Jennifer."Alright, stop arguing, both of you."Henry shook his head, saying, "If
"What do you mean by that, Henry?" Jennifer looked astounded."Okay, what's going on? Did Ms. Ford find out about your engagement to Lydia?" William asked anxiously, concerned that it would cause trouble."It has nothing to do with that," Henry replied, shaking his head."It's just that Ms. Ford got engaged to someone else this morning.""What?!" Henry's words astounded everyone, particularly Lydia. Even though she did not know much about Henry and Chansey, she could tell by Chansey's eyes that she had a deep affection for Henry.Lydia could not understand why Chansey would get engaged to someone else. Especially given the rumors that Mr. Ford adored his daughter and wielded enormous power, he should have given her a free choice in marriage.Jennifer became even more concerned and asked, "What's going on? Why did she get engaged to someone else? Have you offended her?""Yeah, what have you done, Henry?" William asked angrily. He was certain that Henry had done something to enrag
