Hilary watched everything in disbelief. Then she turned and looked directly at Graham. She saw nothing but Graham's pale, trembling lips.'No way!' The man on the video call was the actual Second Young Master Jones!'Oh, my goodness, what kind of boyfriend has Cheryl found?'No wonder she still loves him so much even though he's married,' Hilary thought.She saw Henry differently then; he appeared charming and unintentionally made people fall into him.The others immediately noticed Graham's unusual behavior and were shocked, wondering if the man on the phone was the real Winson.Laurie, in particular, was unfamiliar with Winson and could only look at Graham in disbelief."Graham, Graham," Laurie said.Graham had finally recovered from his shock and immediately knelt. He was genuinely terrified."I'm sorry, Mr. Truman. I was wrong!"I apologize for my ignorance. Please give me another chance."Henry shook his head and said, "Don't act like this. Weren't you acting tough and
However, Winson was not truly tyrannical. In fact, he had recently discovered several issues with Liam and was preparing to deal with him. However, Winson's ruthless actions had terrified the others, particularly Graham."So, you're one of the Padillas, right? I'll get rid of the Padillas in three days! I'm telling you in advance," Winson said coldly.He acted in response to Henry's personal call."As for you, Graham, you should beg Mr. Truman's forgiveness. Otherwise, you'd die!"Winson's words shocked and stunned everyone.Many of his friends paled, and some even trembled.However, Christina's eyes lit up with hope. She wondered if Henry was really that powerful, and if he could help her.If that were the case, she would no longer have to put up with Graham's torment.Graham was completely terrified and even peed himself in his pants.Laurie was dumbfounded. She never imagined Graham would be so terrified. However, it was not surprising given what Winson had said.At that p
That scene elicited sympathy from Cheryl, owing to Graham's pitiful appearance—clear handprints on his cheeks and bloodstains on his forehead—which was particularly distressing.Everyone was stunned, nervous, and shocked by what had happened that day. When they looked at Cheryl again, their expressions were of fear and envy, with no trace of disdain or ridicule.Everyone was stunned and terrified when it came to Henry."Cheryl, please, I beg you!"Graham noticed Cheryl's kindness and begged even more.Cheryl could not bear to watch any longer and frowned. "Okay, stop that. Speak properly.""Okay, as long as you spare me, I'll do anything," Graham quickly replied.He was no longer like his former self, let alone having the arrogant attitude of ignoring others."You don't have to paint such a bleak picture. What happened to Ms. Ross?" Cheryl asked.Christina was still astounded by Henry's power and wondered if Cheryl indeed had a way to save herself. If they could help her repay
The Padillas might have made some money, but proceeding beyond their means was simply impossible."Is that all you have? Your arrogance and swagger made me assume your family must be extremely wealthy."You'll reap what you sow. Take responsibility for your mistakes," Henry said as he shook his head calmly."The 180,000 dollars is just about enough for you to treat me to dinner tonight. I'll settle the bill tonight, and we'll be clear," Henry said indifferently."Ah—"Graham was stunned momentarily and could not help but whisper, "But this meal costs less than that."He could not help but shrink back slightly and quickly said, "Yes, it does. I was just talking nonsense earlier.""Okay, don't be too nervous. I'm a reasonable person."If you don't believe me, then let's get the bill to see if I'm lying."Henry summoned a server and said, "Please get me the bill; remember, no discounts, no complimentary items, everything at the original price."When Graham heard that, he became
Laurie was surprised by Noel's reply. It had exceeded her expectations.Until the last moment, she assumed it was Graham's connections.Hilary gave a bitter smile, realizing that her previous assessment of Henry was too simplistic. She had always thought Henry incompetent. However, Henry had an excellent temper. Despite his harsh words, he had done nothing to her. Though, on second thought, it was undoubtedly because of Cheryl; he would not have said a word to her if it had not been for Cheryl.The others sighed at what had happened that day; it was packed with plot twists. Whatever happened, it only served to highlight Henry's extraordinary abilities.Graham was nothing but a joke.Henry did not seem to care about the others. He turned to Noel and said indifferently, "That's it; he's paying. And he's someone I really dislike. So, don't hold back.""Okay. The server will get the bill for you," Noel exclaimed excitedly.The final bill totaled 196,500 dollars.Everyone was stunne
The Everising Platinum Card was just a legend to them; they would not have noticed it if Noel had not pointed it out.Everyone speculated on Henry's identity. He revealed his close relationship with three of the four great families in a short period. It appeared that those families were even trying to curry favor with him. Besides the Joneses and Fords, the Skyline Corporation, who replaced the Seltzers, did the same.Noel was deliberate about that. He said, "Alright, I'll get the bill for you. I'll be back shortly."He would not bill the total amount but half of it. He even consulted with higher-ups about whether the wine should be waived. They had told Noel not to worry because the Fords would eventually cover the expenses.Since everything was settled, Henry stopped pursuing Graham and allowed him to leave freely.Graham was ecstatic, but then his phone rang. When his father called, he immediately answered—there was a desperate roar from the phone."Graham, you damn brat! Who
The girls were startled by the voice and turned to look at the woman.A lady with a flawless physique, a tailored chiffon gown, and an angel-like beautiful face appeared.However, her expression was frosty and angry.Lydia's words astounded Christina, leaving her puzzled. On the other hand, Hilary appeared slightly annoyed and responded coldly, "We were talking about our friend's boyfriend. What's it to you?""Your so-called boyfriend is my husband. Shouldn't that bother me?" Lydia replied coldly. She was not sure why, but she wanted to assert her status there.They were getting divorced soon, and she should have left when faced with such a situation. However, she could not help assert her role as Henry's wife.Hilary was taken aback. She wondered why Henry was still so involved with Cheryl despite having such a beautiful wife.Christina was even more stunned. She had not expected Cheryl to be involved with a married man. It would be a scandal if that became widespread.Cheryl
"No," Henry replied, shaking his head."What do you mean, no? She seems very upset. Aren't you concerned about her?" Cheryl said."It's not that serious." Henry paused slightly.Lydia should have the strength to handle it. However, things might be different if she were with someone like Sarah."What do you mean, not serious? Hurry up; go check on her," Cheryl said, taking Henry's hand.Even though Henry downplayed it, Cheryl could tell he cared about his wife."Okay, I'll go after her," Henry said.Cheryl watched Henry leave and felt a sense of loss.Hilary shook her head, saying, "Their marriage is only contractual, and you like Henry. Wouldn't it be better if they separated? Why were you convincing him to do the opposite?""No! If Henry likes her, I won't do anything to upset him," Cheryl responded immediately."You're a silly girl," Hilary said helplessly.Christina was puzzled by the situation.Cheryl explained that Henry treated her like a little sister. "We're not a c
