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
When Sarah heard Lydia's question, she acted as if she were conflicted, saying, "Well, I opposed your relationship with Henry from the start. I don't support it."Leaving aside everything else, Henry has previously been involved with other women and will undoubtedly continue to do so in the future. Can you stand that?"Lydia was upset when Sarah mentioned Henry's involvement with other women."Also, do you know why so many people are against Henry and you getting together?"Because our society values family compatibility. You may not care about it right now, but there will be more problems if you stay married," Sarah said."I don't care about that right now. But I can't accept him being with other women," Lydia said."Ah, you may not care about that, but what about your parents and grandfather? Will you end things with everyone?" Sarah retorted."As far as I know, it seems none of them support you being with Henry.""Yes, none of them. I'm the only one making an effort, even at
"Who's Simon?" Sarah pretended not to know, but her heart had burst with joy."Young Master Walker, the one who helped us to collect the debt last time.""The one that Henry took credit for?""Yeah!""Well, he seems quite polite and gentlemanly. He comes from an extraordinary family, and I haven't heard any bad rumors about him. I can't tell you more, but I always feel he's quite formidable." Sarah pretended as if she knew nothing."Oh.""He's the future heir of the Walkers. Whoever marries him will be blessed for life. I wonder who would be so lucky."By the way, why did you ask about him?""It's nothing!" Lydia did not say more; she was already leaning toward Simon.After driving for a while, the car happened to pass by a bar. Sarah glanced at it and said, "You're not in a good mood now. Why don't I take you to relax?""Relax? Where?""There! The Zero Degree Bar!"Don't worry. My friend runs this bar. It's very safe," Sarah reassured her."Okay."Feeling upset, Lydia in
Lydia's eyes were filled with tears. She was utterly unrestrained; perhaps she was intoxicated, so she spilled all of her thoughts.She felt much better, and her emotions calmed significantly. Then, she wiped her tears with tissues."Don't be too sad, Lydia," Sarah said, consoling her."He's not good enough, so you should move on. Countless exceptional young men are pursuing you; why be sad for such a shameless guy?"Lydia nodded. Maybe she should just let go. But just thinking about it made her sick, especially because she had an appointment with the Civil Affairs Bureau the following day.Lydia was about to speak when a group of men dressed in avant-garde clothing approached them. One asked, "Hey, ladies, no men to accompany you? Do you want to join us?""Hey, you look like you've been crying. Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I'll help you exact revenge," another said."Get lost! We don't know you!" Sarah spoke coldly."We didn't know each other until now. But we'll get al
The man was caught off guard as he was pushed aside. Sarah immediately scratched the other two men's faces fiercely.It was all part of a script. Soon, the hero, Simon, would appear.Lydia was angry and desperate, not expecting Sarah to fight so hard to save her. Sarah had always cared for her. She had always stood up for Lydia, even when she was misunderstood.Lydia could not be bothered with much else then. She seized the opportunity to run outside.'Sarah, please wait for me. I'll save you,' she thought."Damn, you filthy bitch! Looking for trouble?" The man was furious at Sarah's actions. He slapped her hard twice, pushed her away firmly, and yelled, "Get her!"Despite her desire to flee, Lydia had consumed a significant amount of alcohol. Furthermore, the other party had already planned for that, so she could not escape.Lydia stumbled and nearly fell forward after only a few steps.Simon watched the scene from a distance. His face lit up with excitement, but he quickly su
Lydia was devastated when she looked up and saw it was Henry.She even thought she had vision problems.She must have overthought, which was why the situation occurred.However, she soon heard Henry's voice.That voice was gentle but firm and authoritative. She could not help but be drawn to it.Henry had already helped Lydia in getting up."You! Why are you here?" Lydia was shocked. She experienced joy, excitement, and other indescribable emotions; her feelings were complex."Why wouldn't I be here? You're clearly in danger," Henry spoke lightly.Lydia almost lost control when she heard that and wanted to throw herself into his arms.Simon's face turned green as he saw that; he wanted to kill Henry.'It's fine. Henry, please wait. I'll change my name if you can survive until tomorrow night.'Simon's family had informed him just before he arrived that Hadleigh would be heading to Hodbridge the next day.The provincial capital was close; Hadleigh would arrive around noon.B
"You! You must be looking for death."Landon was furious and immediately summoned the rest of his followers to charge forward together.'No matter how good your fighting abilities are, your fists won't be able to handle so many of us. You'll see!'However, Landon soon realized in despair that his people meant nothing to Henry. After a while, everyone was lying on the ground, screaming in pain.Everyone was severely injured. All of them had sustained internal injuries.Henry had treated him better, possibly because of his position as leader—only two of his hands were broken.However, Henry noticed that people were approaching to watch them. Some even took out their cell phones. Henry quickly covered Lydia and left.He did not want to appear on the Internet again.When Landon noticed they had left, he immediately called the police. He looked at Sarah angrily and asked, "Ms. Holmes, what's this? We're supposed to put on a show; are you trying to kill us?""I didn't expect this ei
