"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
Jeffery knew his daughter would be hanging out with Henry, so he intentionally withdrew the covert bodyguards. He did not want Henry to feel that he was being followed."Don't be afraid, I'm here." Henry comforted her softly.Chansey felt relieved simply hearing that from Henry, for unknown reasons. She nodded and said, "What should we do now?""What else can we do?"We have to get revenge for sure! An eye for an eye!"Chansey paused momentarily before saying urgently, "But there are many of them, and they are armed with knives. Let's call my father and ask him to save us.""No need," Henry said calmly.At that point, the leading masked man approached the car door and prepared to smash the window with a stick.However, Henry pushed the door open unexpectedly, and the force struck the leader.'Hmm!'The man groaned and took a few steps backward.He felt a sharp pain in his abdomen as he was about to recover, and then he fell back.Henry immediately got out of the car and kic
Henry smiled. Then, he shook his head and said, "You are truly foolish."Even though Alex disagreed, he said, "Yes, I am foolish. Please spare me just this once. I promise I won't do it again, Mr. Truman.""Look at you. You don't even know where you went wrong."Anyway, I'll help you get it through your thick skull. The Brandon Group will go bankrupt soon. No matter how much money you invest, it will be a complete loss.""This—"Alex could not believe it, especially since he had bought 1.5 million dollars in shares earlier that morning. Otherwise, he would not have responded so quickly when Lewis called.He even went all-out. That 1.5 million dollars was a large sum for him, but the anticipated returns had him excited and nervous."Believe me or don't. I don't need to lie to you."As for today's issue, you decide how to resolve it. Apologizing will not solve everything," Henry said indifferently."Well, how about I compensate you with 150,000 dollars for emotional distress?" A
"Of course!" Chansey said immediately. She had put a lot of effort into planning a hangout session with Henry."Okay, let's take a cab," Henry said.He hailed a cab, and the two arrived at their destination quickly.It looked like a high-end club. Soon, Chansey led the way to a banquet hall.The interior was luxurious, with sparkling lights. Numerous handsome men, beautiful ladies, and successful individuals mingled with one another while the air was filled with elegant and melodious music.The entire atmosphere was premium and comfortable, clearly a gathering place for the upper class.Chasey decided to use the bathroom; she was probably still in shock due to her earlier experience. That left Henry alone.After a while, a security guard approached him and said, "Sorry, but this is a private event for invited guests only."Henry was surprised and explained, "A friend brought me. I'm not trespassing.""That's impossible. Everyone at this event is either a young master or a youn
The crowd was shocked by Henry's statement.They looked at Henry as if he were a fool. While many people did not know who Chansey was, they were well aware of Derek.He was the eldest son of Richard Miles, known as Hodbridge's second in command.His mother also came from the prestigious Scotts family in the capital. Most importantly, he was the only grandson left after his mother's only brother died in an accident.'Why would the ignorant dude offend Derek, who has such a strong background? He is getting himself into trouble.'Most of the people in the crowd thought the young man was already dead.Even Chansey was shocked. However, she made up her mind not to stand idly by. She would ensure her father saved Henry even if it meant resorting to desperate measures."Alright, dude. You're tough. I hope you can keep it that way," Derek said coldly as he walked away.Derek thought Henry was as good as dead.As they watched Derek leave in anger, Chansey whispered, "Derek's parents ar
'You are from the lower class, after all. I can simply play something elegant, and it will be out of your reach.'Derek felt incredibly powerful at that moment. He even thought he had conquered Chansey with that piano piece and his romantic confession.He picked up a bouquet of roses and walked quickly to Chansey, saying affectionately, "I have fallen in love with you since we first met. I have been thinking about you for many days and nights. Will you become my girlfriend, Chansey?"The crowd watching joined in and shouted, "Be with him!""Be with him!"Chansey was speechless.Derek was pleased as more and more people followed suit.No girl could resist the allure of romance and being the center of attention.He must have succeeded.Chansey was furious. She had not expected Derek to be so shameless.It was bearable when only a few people noticed, but Derek would be humiliated if she refused him in public then.However, Henry would not play along. He shook his head and said,
Everyone was focused on Henry. He sat in a straight, textbook-perfect posture, and his presence appeared to be elevated.Chansey's eyes flickered with a peculiar light. Henry appeared graceful and elegant, becoming even more attractive in her eyes.Derek was taken aback. He sneered, believing Henry was just putting on a show and would soon reveal his true colors.However, as Henry began to play, the air was filled with melodious piano notes that felt as soothing as a gentle breeze brushing against one's face.A faint sense of love blew into the audience's hearts, soothing their restless souls.The audience was captivated by the enchanting melody and felt transported into the story as the protagonist, experiencing a range of emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.They were stunned and only came to their senses after a long time.It was a perfect performance.After a while, the crowd erupted in warm applause. They could not stop clapping.Chansey's eyes welled with
