Phillip was doomed anyway; Henry was too lazy to care.Smack!The glass smashed onto Phillip's head, shattering it and causing blood to flow from his forehead.Doris was startled. She had also assumed that Henry was a laid-back guy and intended to discover Henry's true identity.However, Henry's unpredictable mood scared her. She even offended him so badly earlier that she was worried Henry would seek vengeance later.Phillip's face paled, but he felt no pain on his forehead."Yes, yes, I'm sorry! I'll leave now! Right now!" He repeatedly apologized.He turned around and walked away quickly.He fell after accidentally bumping into something. He stood up quickly and walked away.The scene surprised everyone and made them wonder about Henry's true identity.Doris hesitated as Phillip walked away. She was about to say something but stopped herself.Doris finally gathered her courage and said, "Um, Mr. Truman, I was a little confused just now and said some things I shouldn't hav
Lora had seen Winson on the news and was astounded by how young he was. She could not believe it at first glance.After all, her sales experience had taught her a wide range of knowledge. As far as she knew, the Joneses were a prestigious family in Hodbridge, one of the top-tier elite families that ordinary people like them could never meet."Yes, and you are?"Winson cautiously looked at Henry and asked, "Mrs. Truman?"Lora's face flushed with embarrassment and happiness.Henry felt helpless and had no idea how to respond."Yes, she's Mr. Truman's girlfriend," Doris quickly said. However, she no longer dared to address Henry by name.Lora's expression indicated that Winson appeared formidable as well. Doris could not help but wonder if all the young masters around Henry were equally impressive.When Winson heard that, he was surprised and envious that Henry could change his girlfriends so frequently; each was absolutely stunning."It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Truman. Here's my
"Besides, Henry seems like a nice guy with a great personality, so Lora won't suffer. In my opinion, Henry might suffer," Doris said."Lora, please listen to Henry. Whatever he says, you must do. Don't be stubborn."Lora was speechless at her mother's sudden shift in attitude. She had previously described Henry as worthless, but things had changed dramatically.Nigel sighed.He thought Henry was a good person even though they had only known each other briefly.Henry said, "I understand your concern, Mr. Stein. I won't sleep with Lora until we get married.""Good, good. I feel rest assured with your words," Nigel said."Stop being so old-fashioned. Many people have children out of wedlock these days," Doris said."Henry, don't bother with him. Just do whatever you want as long as you and Lora enjoy it. Do you need a room right now?"Henry was speechless; he smiled wryly. He happened to notice Lora standing opposite him.Lora lowered her flushed cheeks.However, she did not op
"What? Fifteen thousand dollars? Are they smoking gold?" Doris was shocked."The rarity is what makes them valuable. Only the wealthy or prestigious can get them. Having these exclusive cigarettes can give you an advantage in business negotiations," Nigel explained."I see. Well, you should take these cigarettes back, Henry," Doris said, but she was clearly hesitant to give them up."It's okay; just take them. There's no reason for me to take them back," Henry said.Before Nigel could say anything else, Henry's phone rang. It was Sebastian. It appeared they had run into some trouble. Otherwise, he would not have called so urgently again."I need to take this call," Henry replied, standing up and walking to the side.As Henry left, Doris approached Lora and whispered, "Tell me, who's Henry? He looks impressive.""How would I know?" Lora replied helplessly."I didn't realize Henry was so impressive. Even the Joneses' new family leader is so respectful of him, which completely sur
"That's your family's business," Henry said indifferently."Yes, yes. As an apology, we'll offer you a villa on Grand Avenue as compensation," Bowen said."I don't require compensation, but if you're sincere, you can compensate the girl he nearly tricked. She would've been in trouble if it hadn't been for me today.""Okay," Bowen said, nodding repeatedly."Alright then, I'll hang up now," Henry said."Wait a minute!" Bowen attempted to stop Henry nervously."Anything else?""Um, I wonder if you're free tomorrow? Can you honor us with your presence and have a meal with us?" Bowen asked cautiously, feeling nervous.He was terrified Henry would refuse."I'm busy," Henry replied bluntly.Bowen was stunned when he heard Henry's words, and his expression changed slightly. Others who overheard that had despair written all over their faces.'We're fucked. Mr. Truman is mad at us.' They had the same thought.Bowen had put the call on loudspeaker to avoid abrupt changes in the conver
They should face them head-on?When Bowen heard those words, he could not help but doubt his ears.The Levy family was a powerhouse in Aurelia, yet Henry wanted to take them head-on?Did he realize who he was up against?The rest of the Yorks were equally dumbfounded, some even questioning if they heard correctly."Mr. Truman, the Levies are a major family in Aurelia and are really powerful. We're just a small-time family; we can't compete with them."Bowen belittled his family but subtly hinted at Henry about the Levies' terrifying strength."I know," Henry replied calmly. "Of course, you're no match for them. Just let me know when he shows up, and I'll handle it. I'm not asking you to step in."Bowen realized Henry must have gauged the opponent's strength.Even so, could he stand up to the Levies?Besides, the Yorks did not offer many benefits for his help either.Was a mansion worth Henry going all out for their family?Bowen was baffled.He glanced at Sebastian, hoping
Even though Bowen was also in disbelief, Jeffery's demeanor made it clear that Henry was no ordinary person.Someone extraordinary like him could not possibly be bluffing."But this is too terrifying—"Suddenly, Sebastian chimed in, "His last name is Truman. Is he part of the Truman family in Aurelia?"Due to the incident with Eric, they had learned a bit about the families in Aurelia. However, they could not find anyone to help them.Bowen immediately said, "The Trumans in Aurelia? No way! It's simply impossible! Why would someone from that family be in our small town?"The Trumans were among the top families in Aurelia, and their children were treated like kings among the younger generations of Cathysia."That's true. If that's the case, who's he?"Bowen flashed a wry smile, saying, "Regardless, he has promised to help. Perhaps our crisis will be resolved.""But what if he's all talk?" An elder sighed.Just then, Lilian walked in with a sad expression.She greeted everyone
Doris smiled as she watched the two of them being so affectionate.She exclaimed happily, "Henry, you're a good man. I trust Lora with you."If you two are tired, there's a hotel nearby with a great ambiance, perfect for you lovebirds to rest."Should I make a reservation for you? Just in case they run out of rooms later."Lora blushed at Doris's words.Henry felt helpless.Were they so eager for their daughter to get married?Lora feared her act with Henry would be exposed, so she hurriedly said, "No need. We'll handle it ourselves.""Alright, alright. Have a great time tonight, you two. Your dad and I won't be third wheels," Doris said before leading Nigel away.Henry felt a bit overwhelmed by the situation.What a mess!However, he quickly sensed something was off and turned to check, only to find Lydia standing there, accompanied by Sarah.Oh, no!Lydia's expression was grim.To resist her family's pressure, she sought help from others to escape.It was not easy, and
