While in the police car, Lora became extremely nervous. She whispered to Henry, "Did I say the wrong thing and make things worse?""What do you think?" Henry rolled his eyes."I'm sorry. I only wanted to help you.""It's okay. It's not a big deal.""Really? Do you know any high-level authorities?"Henry remained speechless."What you said is not a big deal for a murder suspect," the policewoman sitting next to them said coldly."What?" Lora was startled."Don't believe her nonsense; I didn't do anything," Henry said."I hope so, but now that it's in my hands, you shouldn't count on luck. If you commit a crime, knowing any authorities will not help you," the policewoman said sternly."I didn't commit any crime," Henry said calmly."Then how did Josh Todd die?""Josh Todd? I don't even know him!"The officer shook her head and declined to ask any further questions.People surrounded the police car as they arrived at the police station. Those people shouted, "Team Drayson!"
"He's dead? He deserved it," Henry said."What did you say?" Jess was infuriated."Nothing. What I'm trying to say is that there's no evidence that I killed him. Just because I had a disagreement with him doesn't make me a murderer, right?" Henry replied."Do you think you are flawless? There was evidence left behind before Josh died." Jess snorted."But I'm giving you a chance to confess," she said."No need; just show me the evidence," Henry said."Fine, take a look at this," Jess said, showing a video clip that Josh had recorded last night.He claimed he was intimidated by the person who beat him up and threatened to kill him, and he was extremely nervous. Then, a photo with the word H written next to him before he died.Henry shook his head, speechless, and asked, "Do you really believe these? Don't you think it's all fabricated?""Are you saying that someone tried to frame you and even killed someone because of that?" Jess said."It's possible." Henry considered several
Jess did not want to let Henry go, but she could not ignore Sergeant James' orders.Even though her father was Sergeant James' superior, she avoided using her family connections. Her colleagues were unaware that she was the daughter of Paul Drayson, the provincial department's Secretary of Discipline.After hanging up the phone, Jess told someone to unlock Henry's handcuffs and said coldly, "Henry, you're quite capable. Are you pleased now?""Not really; I didn't do anything. I hope your team conducts a thorough investigation to find the real culprit.""Don't worry, I will. But I'm worried it will implicate you again. By then, no one will be able to help you.""That won't happen!" Henry smiled slightly.He stood up and said, "I'm leaving now, Ms. Drayson. See you when I see you.""We'll definitely meet again," Jess said coldly.She reasoned that Henry should avoid crossing her path, or he would regret it.She would not back down if there were evidence, even with Sergeant James
"Suit yourself." Lydia hung up the phone cheerfully.She finally understood the meaning of love, and she realized how much she liked Henry.Even though he was worthless and possessed no power or influence, marrying him would undoubtedly result in gossip. However, she felt like none of that mattered as long as she liked him.However, dealing with William, Jennifer, and John—who was currently away from home—would be difficult.'Oh! Why is everything so difficult?' Lydia sighed inwardly.She made a decision right then. She would nurture Henry to become a pillar of the company. By then, she would face less resistance.Lydia suddenly remembered a movie called The Mighty Husband. She felt she was just like that character in the film, who hoped for her husband to rise to greatness.She hoped Henry would assert himself more and stop being so carefree and arrogant.Lora returned to the company and sat at her desk with a worried expression on her face. Many people approached Lora to inqu
Lora was stunned when she heard Henry's voice; her entire body trembled slightly.'What's going on? Is that Mr. Truman? Am I having hallucinations because I'm worried?' Lora thought.She turned around and saw Henry. Then, she smiled. She wondered if Henry was okay since he had returned so quickly.Henry walked forward, looked at Carol, and calmly asked, "Why the silence?"Carol's face paled. She eventually came to her senses and quickly explained, "It's a misunderstanding, Mr. Truman. I was just talking nonsense."Henry smiled with a hint of coldness in his eyes and asked, "Do you think I'll believe that?""I— I—""Look at you, so cowardly!" Henry shook his head with disdain in his eyes before turning and walking away."Remember, don't act like it if you're not tough. Otherwise, you'll be miserable one day."Carol's face darkened, and she grew resentful as she watched Henry leave.She immediately went to Marco to air her grievances.After listening, Marco smiled and said, "D
"Also, focus more on the company's business and don't delegate everything to Herman. You've made contributions and achievements now. I'll promote you to a higher position if the opportunity arises." Lydia made it clear to Henry that she was also motivating him to work toward his future goals.When Henry heard that, he quickly shook his head and said, "There's no need for all that trouble. This is enough.""What do you mean? Don't you have any ambition?" Lydia retorted."It's really not necessary.""Is it not necessary? Do you think you're impressive simply because you've recovered so much outstanding debt? Do you think you can marry anyone like this?" Lydia almost questioned Henry's worthiness to marry her.When Henry finally understood, he asked, "Are you saying that you'd only consider becoming my wife if I worked hard to get promoted?""Hmph, I didn't say that.""Forget it then. I don't want to waste my efforts.""You—"Lydia was furious, but to help Henry, she said, "You'r
"Cheryl…"Henry paid Cheryl a visit after leaving the office.Even though they had not seen each other in a while, Cheryl was still wearing her usual simple long skirt, which perfectly highlighted her slim figure.Her delicate face was stunning, and her skin was incredibly fair.Any man who saw her would fall for her."Henry, you're here."Cheryl was overjoyed to see Henry, too. In fact, she wanted to take the initiative to look for him several times, but she was afraid of upsetting Henry's family."Well, I don't miss you though.""I don't believe you." Cheryl's face flushed, and she felt pleased.After both sat down, Henry asked about Cheryl's situation.He learned that Cheryl had resigned from her previous position and was looking for a new one. She was no longer worried about money, so all she wanted to do was find a job that was a good fit for her.She even visited the Miller Group for an interview."You went to the Miller Group for an interview?""Yes, but it was a pi
Cheryl would not pass up such an opportunity. After hanging up the phone, she was happy and nervous. She looked up a variety of interview questions online and recited them repeatedly.She was prepared to do her best the next day.Cheryl carefully prepared herself the following day. She arrived early at the Skyline Corporation's ground floor. She was so nervous that she took a few deep breaths before entering.As soon as she arrived at the door, someone approached her with a smile. "Hello, are you Miss Cheryl?""Yes, I am.""This way, please. I'll bring you upstairs."Cheryl was stunned. Skyline Corporation was extremely polite to an interviewee. Furthermore, an elegant lady was there to pick her up specifically.She could not help but ask, "Hello, Miss. How are you? Does your company treat all interviewees so politely like this?"The lady was stunned. Cheryl appeared utterly unaware of the situation. However, as Mr. Hopper's secretary, she knew the importance of not disclosing
