'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
Richard dashed toward his wife, Sandy Miles, eager to learn the truth about the situation.His face paled when he learned that his mother was critically ill and had been in the intensive care unit for quite some time.He felt as if he owed everything to his mother, who raised him single-handedly.She faced extreme hardship in the first half of her life. She then had more grievances in the later part of her life.Then, something happened to his mother after he achieved a high position in his life.Richard felt incredibly bad when his mother was no longer present to enjoy when he could finally care for her."Father, don't worry. I contacted Doctor Ferguson as soon as I learned about Grandmother's situation. It is a coincidence that he is in Hodbridge. Everything will be fine with his help," Derek said."Good, very good. Well done."Richard patted his son on the shoulder and praised him repeatedly.His mother and family showered his son with love. He had been causing trouble sinc
"Well, you are very thoughtful. Derek, you are becoming more mature and capable. You are my pride."However, Richard frowned and said nothing. First and foremost, he did not fully believe what his son had told them. It was nearly impossible for him to be bullied by such a powerless young man.Second, he was very concerned about his mother's condition. He did not have time to think about anything else.The ward door opened at that moment, and Doctor Ferguson walked out. He removed his face mask, revealing his tired face and a helpless expression in his eyes."Doctor Ferguson, how is my mother?" Richard was very nervous.Doctor Ferguson smiled helplessly. He was assigned many important tasks, but he failed to complete all of them. His reputation as a miracle doctor was ruined. He said, "I am sorry, but there is nothing I can do.""What?"Richard trembled; his face paled.The rest of them looked a little better."How is she doing now? Is there really nothing you can do?"Richard
Henry was startled. Erwin did not manage to treat the sickness again?He must be having some bad luck. After all, he thought Erwin's medical skills were still acceptable.Chansey's heart trembled when she heard Richard's voice. She stood up and said, "Uncle Richard, we are over here."Richard heard her and walked forward in a hurry. He walked up, grabbed Henry's hand, and said hurriedly, "Doctor Truman, I offended you just now. I was in the wrong."Please forgive me, and please don't be offended."The second most influential person in Hodbrige was acting sincere and humble. Henry's dissatisfaction vanished as he said, "It's alright, let bygones be bygones.""Thank you for understanding. Can you please come and check on my mother?" Richard immediately asked as time was running out."I can take a look at her, but I must tell you something in advance.""Please tell me.""I am here to provide medical treatment, all because Chansey tricked me into coming. I have no intention of get
