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
"In that case, the Fords will undoubtedly choose the Chapman Legacy. So it's understandable that Henry is being kicked out," William said."I see. If that's the case, Henry will become worthless again. After all, Mr. Ford's unlikely to care for him any longer," Jennifer said."More or less," William replied in agreement."It appears that Henry's destined to be a loser. Such opportunities have slipped past him," William said, shaking his head."He's not just a loser but a disaster," Jennifer said, her face darkening with disdain."Henry, if Mr. Ford doesn't value you, Lydia is unlikely to either. You should know what to do, right?"Henry stood there, unable to believe what he had heard. They had turned their backs on him immediately after receiving the news without even allowing him to explain thoroughly.Even Lydia was enraged and retorted, "Dad, Mom, seriously? Are you both really doing this to Henry?""What do you mean? We're just weighing the pros and cons. He's destined to
"Another six months? Are you playing with us?"That's impossible. We'll never agree!" Jennifer replied angrily."If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Anyway, I'm not leaving unless Lydia drives me away," Henry said calmly.William and Jennifer were furious.Lydia's phone rang. She ignored it until Hilda called again, at which point she had no choice but to respond.Hilda's urgent voice came through. "The police are here to arrest Henry, Ms. Miller.""What!" Lydia was stunned for a moment before looking at Henry."I'm having people search him everywhere," Hilda said urgently before hanging up."What's going on?" William and Jennifer heard the call.Lydia did not bother with them; instead, she asked Henry, "What did you do? Why would the police come to the company and arrest you?""Arrest me? I haven't done anything!" Henry was also perplexed, as he had not done anything recently.Could it be the result of his earlier confrontation with Simon's men? However, they
It was extremely frightening, especially given the numerous cases of entire families being destroyed due to a son-in-law's anger.Lydia's expression changed abruptly, and she asked anxiously, "Officer, there must be a mistake. Henry wouldn't do such a thing.""We'll find out after the investigation," the female officer said coldly."Cuff him!" The police officer ordered her subordinates.Henry did not resist but frowned."Officer, I don't know where you got your information from, but you've definitely got the wrong person," said Henry.The female officer's expression was indifferent. She was aware that every suspect would deny their guilt when arrested. She replied, "I'll find out later. But you must come with me now.""I need to understand why I've become a suspect. Who did I kill?""You'll find out at the police station. Take him away!" The policewoman directed her team without further ado.It was everyone's responsibility in Cathysia to cooperate with the police during inve
