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
He secretly hoped Henry would give up on Lydia and get together with Chansey. However, he believed that it was impossible."Stop kidding!"Chansey did not believe him."Alright, I promise Henry will be fine, okay?" Jeffery said. He could not reveal Henry's identity anyway."That's more like it!" Chansey went back to her room, satisfied.Since her father made her a promise, Henry should be fine.'What a silly girl.' Jeffery smiled wryly.On the other hand, Lydia had gotten so drunk at the Riverside Restaurant that she could not sit still."Mr. Rothman, I've finished the five glasses of wine. I am counting on you for the loan," Lydia said."Don't worry about it!"That's a piece of cake. I'll approve it as soon as I get back tomorrow." Daniel chuckled."But tonight, we must drink happily."There's still a bottle of wine. We'll each drink half of it. After you finish it, I will approve the loan."Lydia's face paled when she heard this. She had a low alcohol tolerance and was
On Daniel's orders, the men who accompanied him to dinner grabbed various tools from the dining table as weapons and charged at Henry.However, those ordinary-skilled men were no match for Henry.Furthermore, Henry fought more fiercely when he was angry. He quickly disarmed them and delivered a powerful blow to one of their heads.Others were quickly kicked away. They were lying on the ground, injured and unable to stand.Daniel was dumbfounded. He did not expect Henry to be so strong. He watched Henry approach in shock and anger. He said, "Don't mess with me. I am a bank director. Don't you want the loan anymore?"Sarah stepped in as soon as she saw the scene, saying, "Henry, he is the bank director, Mr. Rothman. You can't beat him, or we'll face serious consequences.""She's right. If you dare to put your hands on me, you will not get a penny of the loan and will also pay a heavy price for it.""Oh, I want to see that."Henry stepped forward, smashing a bottle on Daniel's he
He would first send Lydia home. Sarah would care for her, so leaving her alone would not be an issue.Chansey immediately informed Henry of the address, saying, "I will be right over. Let's meet at the hospital entrance."The elderly patient, who was in critical condition, had already been transported to the hospital."Alright!"Henry hung up and said, "Take Lydia inside, Sarah. I'll have to borrow the car for a bit."Sarah was about to refuse but changed her mind and took Lydia out of the car.Henry then drove to the hospital without delay. It seemed convenient to have a car; he would have to buy one.Chansey appeared just as he arrived at the hospital entrance, calling out, "Henry!""Who is this elderly person to you?" Henry asked casually."She is Mayor Miles' mother. His father died when he was young, so she raised him alone. He cares deeply for his elderly mother," Chansey explained.Henry considered a possibility after hearing Chansey's emphasis and asked, "What is the
