"What about you? Is forcing me to the office so early in the morning polite?" Henry replied."Early? What are you doing every night? You were still sleeping when I called you at 9:00 a.m. Did you go out gallivanting every night?" Lydia suspected Henry was up to no good at night. She wanted Henry to live with her. However, her family would oppose it."I didn't!" Henry exclaimed helplessly."I've told you I'm not interested in the company's business. Anyway, I have someone handling things for me.""Do you even know why I promoted you to be the director?" Lydia was angry."Um, why?" Henry asked innocently."You!" Lydia was infuriated."I don't know what you're thinking. Don't you want to become outstanding?""I'm already outstanding!" Henry replied helplessly."Are you?" Lydia scoffed."Okay, even though you have some skills, you lack power and influence. How do you compare to those young masters?""Why should I compare myself to them?" Henry shook his head.Lydia was speechle
Henry had yet to learn about all of that. After returning to the office, he felt a little bored. Since he could not practice martial arts there, he picked up his phone and played a game.Then, someone knocked on the door, and Lora came in. "Henry!""Yeah, what's up?" Henry did not even lift his head, engrossed in his phone.Lora felt slightly annoyed, but remembering Carol's words, she thought it was an excellent opportunity and said, "Are you free tonight?""Yes, no, wait, not free.""Do you hate me, Henry?" Lora looked sad; her voice would make one sympathize with her."No, you're beautiful. Who would hate you? How could I hate you?" Henry spoke the truth. Lora was gorgeous, with an attractive physique. Even though she was not blessed with bigger bosoms, her overall figure was eye-catching. Any man who saw her would like her."Why don't you even look at me when you talk?""Well, I'm playing a game. I can't just stop.""Oh, then I'll wait for you to finish."Henry felt a lit
Lydia could only marry Simon, who came from the powerful Walkers, if Henry were to leave her.Simon arrived in the morning and stated that as long as Henry divorced Lydia, he would immediately propose and marry her. Simon did not want Henry to continue his relationship with Lydia. He demanded that they get divorced within three days.Therefore, John had to take action to respond to such requirements.After a long silence, John finally said, "Henry, I've treated you well since you came into this family, right?""Yes, it's been quite good," Henry said.That was indeed the truth. John had supported him from the beginning and still wanted to protect him even after the incident."That's good. I need a favor, and I hope you'll agree to it."Henry had already guessed what it was but still held a glimmer of hope and asked, "What is it?""Divorce Lydia," John said.Henry sighed bitterly because it was what he expected. He shook his head helplessly. "I can agree to anything but this. Th
"Did you hear that? You should get what he meant."Someone like you, with nothing, should've left the Millers long ago. How dare you cling to my daughter?" Jennifer sneered."That's right. My dad is being nice today by allowing you to talk here. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had a chance to enter our home. I have numerous ways to make you suffer." William threatened Henry harshly."That's right, Henry; don't be ungrateful. You know us well enough. If we wanted to deal with you, you wouldn't live past today." William and Jennifer continued to threaten Henry. It appeared that disobeying them would result in immediate death.After all, Simon had stated his intention to marry Lydia. There was no time to waste. Persuasion did not work with Lydia, so they could only force Henry to leave.John remained silent, implying obvious support. He felt the urgency of the situation and did not want to pass up the opportunity, especially after seeing Simon, an outstanding young talent.Henry's face
"If you don't agree, just walk out of this door, and don't blame me for being ruthless in the future," John said coldly. That was in stark contrast to his submissive demeanor in front of Zack at the time. After all, Henry was just a guy who knew a few martial arts techniques. Of course, if he were powerful and attained the rank of Grandmaster, everyone in Hodbridge would have to respect him.However, that was impossible! Zack was Jeffery's trusted confidant at the time, so John did not dare to speak rashly and had to beg for mercy.Henry chuckled when he heard John's threat and said, "Please!"Then, he walked away. Each step was light and effortless, and it appeared to be full of contempt for the Millers.That infuriated both William and Jennifer. They cursed angrily, "Damn it! This kid is just looking for death!"William said, "Why are you hesitating, Dad? He's too arrogant and ignorant; we need to teach him a lesson."John frowned and sighed. "Go ahead. But remember—don't kill
"You! You're crazy!"Why are you boasting for no reason?"Whatever! I can't be bothered talking to you anymore. Hurry up and come back to the company now," Lydia said and hung up the phone. She did not believe anything Henry said.Henry felt helpless. He intended to demonstrate some of his strength, but Lydia did not believe him, which was frustrating.Lydia had angrily ordered him to return to the company, so he had no choice.Lydia's phone rang again shortly after she had hung up. It was John."Grandpa!" she said.Her grandfather had always been supportive and fond of her. However, he had objected to her decision with Henry twice.He wanted Lydia to be with Henry when Lydia did not want to, and he wanted Lydia to divorce Henry when Lydia wanted to be with him."Grandpa, I won't agree to divorce Henry. I can stay away from him for now, but I can't divorce him. I want to give him some time to reconsider," Lydia said.John's expression darkened, but his tone softened as he sai
"No, he didn't!" Lydia immediately retorted."Henry made no complaint to me at all. Even when I called and reprimanded him for being absent from work, he said nothing.""How do you know about this then?" John asked."Don't worry about that. It wasn't Henry who told me. Did you guys threaten him to leave me? How did he respond?" Lydia asked."Hmph. What else could he say? He only wants money. We offered him 1.5 million dollars, and it's still insufficient for him," Jennifer said angrily."So, he didn't agree?" Lydia sighed in relief.She feared Henry would agree to their request."No, he didn't. But it isn't because he likes you; it's because you're the Miller Group's CEO and a major shareholder."In comparison, Young Master Walker is far simpler. He's wealthy, and our wealth means nothing to him," Jennifer said.John said, "You must think thoroughly about this.""Grandpa, you insisted I marry Henry in the first place. I didn't want to, but I accepted it. Now that I have feeli
After hearing Sarah's idea, they quickly discussed what to do next.Simon could not stop complimenting Sarah after hearing her idea. It was true that women would understand women better, especially since Sarah was Lydia's close friend.He had the best chance of winning Lydia over.Just as he thought that, Simon's phone rang. It was Lydia. He wondered if Lydia called to demand answers, as Sarah had mentioned. Lydia would only contact him if it were absolutely necessary."Hello!""Hello, Young Master Walker. Did you visit my family yesterday to propose a marriage and set a three-day deadline?" Lydia got straight to the point.Simon was taken aback. Lydia, as Sarah predicted, approached him to ask about the matter. He could not help but give Sarah a thumbs up, inwardly praising her for knowing Lydia so well.Simon remembered the strategy they had just discussed and casually replied, "Yes, that's right.""What do you mean? How could you threaten my family like that? Do you really t
