Unexpectedly, Phillip said, "Since they're here, let them come in."They were not far away, and Phillip had noticed them early on. He had guessed what had happened, so his face soured.However, he kept it to himself and thought, 'It's fine if that man never touched Lora; otherwise, I'd make him suffer.'Doris could only suppress her thoughts, and she glared at Henry, "You better watch your mouth, kid, or don't blame me for being rude."Henry shrugged helplessly, following along.Doris quickly introduced Lora to Phillip, emphasizing how talented her daughter was.As for Henry, she only stated that he was Lora's colleague and that they met by chance.However, Lora immediately said, "Henry isn't just my colleague, Dad. He's my boyfriend."Doris was infuriated. She had not even had time to stop Lora."Lora, don't talk nonsense. When did you get a boyfriend?" Doris said angrily."I have one now." Lora refused to give up.Doris was furious.Nigel smiled bitterly and nodded to Hen
"Ah, exclusive cigarettes smoked by those big shots in Aurelia?" Doris was stunned. She trembled as she handed Phillip the cigarettes."That's right. Treasurer Luxury cigarettes are exclusive and never sold to the general public. Even if you had money, you might not be able to purchase them. So, these are unquestionably fake."Phillip had not looked closely because he had not smoked them himself."Fake?"When she heard that, Doris became enraged, saying, "How shameless! It's our first meeting, and you're giving us fake cigarettes?"Are you attempting to fool us? If Young Master York hadn't been here today, you might've fooled us."Are you going to claim to be a young master from Aurelia?Your last name is Truman, right? Should you call yourself Young Master Truman, then?" Doris exploded.However, she had no idea her casual remark had hit the mark.Phillip shook his head. If that were true, he should immediately kneel. No, even if the York family leaders were present, they would
Doris became anxious as soon as she heard Lora's words. That was their only hope of having Lora marry into a wealthy family. Doris stood up and said angrily, "Get up and apologize to Young Master York!"Phillip's expression darkened. He expected that night to be simple and pleasant. He thought he could find a hotel and spend the night with a lovely woman.He had not expected Lora to be so difficult to deal with. First, she mentioned a boyfriend. Then, she completely ignored his boasting and spoke to him like that.He was furious.Even though he was not an actual Young Master York, he was still closely related to the Yorks and held a high status. He could not bear defiance from a lowly person.Doris noticed Phillip's visibly angry expression and scolded Lora again. "Why are you just standing there? Apologize to Young Master York!""No way! I didn't say anything wrong. He should be apologizing to Henry!"Henry was there to help her, and she could not bear to see him humiliated."
Doris became enraged when she saw her daughter looking nervous and said, "What are you thinking? Henry is destined to be an employee his whole life. There's no chance of success mixing with such a person."On the other hand, Young Master York is gifted and has a pleasant personality. Furthermore, he comes from a powerful family. There's nothing better than marrying him."Phillip appeared smug as he listened to Doris' words.Even though he was not an actual Young Master York, he was still related to the Yorks.Nigel paused for a moment. He did not like Phillip, especially since Phillip had openly threatened them. He suspected Lora would not have a good life after marrying him. Furthermore, whether such a wealthy man could marry his daughter remained uncertain.However, Doris was utterly blinded by Phillip's wealth, especially after Phillip mentioned contracts worth hundreds of millions and their massive connections. They would never meet another person like Philip in their lifetime
Phillip was smug as he stared at Henry mockingly.'He finally remembered my identity, hasn't he? He must be terrified and ready to beg for mercy on his knees,' Phillip thought."Not late at all!" Henry chuckled."I mentioned it because I know a Young Master York. I'm curious if you're acquainted with him.""Are you trying to drop names? You still want to do this? You're finished, no matter what." Phillip was arrogant.He could not believe Lora had fallen for Henry and made such a significant sacrifice for him.Henry was speechless. Everyone, including Lora, assumed he wanted to boast about his connections."I'll be straight with you. I know Sebastian York. Do you know him?"'Sebastian?' Phillip thought.How could he not know him? Sebastian was the Yorks' first son and sole heir.However, Phillip had little chance of communicating with him. He probably did not register in Sebastian's eyes.Phillip's family was a distant relative of Sebastian's family, and they had little mone
Sebastian was angry. No matter who the other person was, he would make them suffer if they dared to mess up the relationship between the Yorks and Henry.After all, the Yorks would definitely be over if Henry stopped helping them.It turned out that recently, the Yorks encountered a major disaster. His sister, Lilian York, offended Eric Levy from Aurelia. He was vengeful and ruthless. The Yorks tried every possible way to resolve it. Still, Eric demanded a whopping 150 million dollars in settlement and required Lilian to be with him for a month, letting him do whatever he wanted with her.Sebastian and his father would not agree to that. They would never sacrifice Lilian like that, and coming up with 150 million dollars in cash would cost half of the family's assets. Even though the Yorks' assets were worth a few hundred million dollars, they had little liquid assets.Eric only gave them five days to gather the money and hand Lilian to him. Otherwise, Eric would personally go to
Also, Henry was very nice. So, she was about to defend Henry.However, Henry said, "Who told you I was pretending?""Didn't you just say you'd make a call? Why are you pretending to answer the phone? You don't even have his number, do you?" Phillip sneered.Henry shook his head and calmly said into the phone, "Sebastian, why don't you talk to him?"That surprised everyone. Phillip laughed and exclaimed, "Are you implying Sebastian called you just now? You cracked me up. It's too funny.""Is it?" Henry was speechless."Of course. Who do you think you are? Are you saying it's a coincidence that Sebastian calls you right when you're supposed to call him?"On the other end of the line, Sebastian could not stand it and yelled, "I'm Sebastian; who are you? How dare you be rude to Mr. Truman!" He raised his voice to ensure the people on the other line heard him and avoided making irreversible mistakes.However, the volume was not loud enough, and there was some distortion. Despite hea
Phillip was scared.The Yorks had many relatives. Some of those relatives were quite impressive and had a good status. However, Phillip was a distant relative among other distant relatives, with no notable abilities or accomplishments, so his family received little attention.Phillip had been rude when speaking to Sebastian; he had not even addressed him by his title. Phillip had lost control in front of Henry and said a lot of nonsense, including repeatedly accusing and insulting Sebastian for pretending.Given what he had done that day, he would not have a leg to stand on even if the Yorks disowned him. Hence, he freaked out.However, Doris did not know any of that. She thought Henry was only pretending even though he was caught in all his lies, and he even found someone to pretend to be Sebastian."Enough, Henry! Haven't you done enough? You're a liar, and now you have accomplices? And you, man on the phone—Henry's lies have been revealed. Are you still trying to deceive us?"
