Sarah's knees gave out beneath her, and she collapsed to the ground in a crumpled heap. She never imagined Henry would have recorded that conversation as well.Unbeknownst to her, Henry had not recorded that conversation on purpose. It had been a simple accident, but he never bothered to delete the recording.When Henry discovered Sarah's true colors the day before, he was reminded of that and decided to keep it on hold in case he needed it. Even then, he had no intention of playing it because he wanted to preserve Sarah's dignity, but she left him no choice.Sarah was so ashamed that she longed for the ground to open up and swallow her whole.With everyone's eyes on her, she could not handle the scrutiny any longer and immediately turned and scampered out of the room.It took Lydia a few moments to snap out of her stupor. Everything made sense then!Even though she did not know why Sarah had fallen for Henry, the fact that her initial hatred toward Henry had morphed into love me
The color drained from John's face. "Mr. Walker, let's not be hasty. Lydia's just angry. We can discuss this marriage further once she's cooled down.""Very well, then. I'll give you one day to think this over, and if I'm not satisfied with your answer, I'll bring the entire Miller family down!" Simon declared menacingly.Everyone was horrified to hear that, Lydia included. As furious as she was, she was well aware of Simon's background and knew that he was more than capable of wiping out the entire Miller family if he wanted to.John was the most frightened of them all. He had single-handedly built that empire from scratch and could not bear the idea of seeing decades of his labor go to dust. Besides, what would happen to the Millers once Simon let harm befall them?Henry was the only one unbothered by that. He sneered and said, "Who do you think you are, Simon? You think you can bring an entire family down with one snap of your fingers? In your dreams!"Simon's expression darken
"Nothing on you?"Who do you think you are, Henry? Have you lost your mind? How dare you not take the Walkers seriously?"Are you trying to ask for Mr. Ford's help just because you saved his daughter? Mr. Ford wouldn't've helped you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have married off his daughter to someone else."Furthermore, he probably wouldn't be helping you if he knew you had offended the Walkers, one of the four great families in the provincial capital. He might even stand alongside us to deal with you," Jennifer said.John also said coldly, "Stop boasting, Henry. The Walkers are not people you can mess with."The only thing you should do now is to apologize to Simon and beg for his forgiveness. Otherwise, you're doomed."Don't even think about getting away with it like last time; you only managed that because the Seltzers had been acting arrogantly and offended countless people for a long time. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so lucky."The Walkers are different; they are extremel
Lydia was taken aback.That was not the first time such a situation had occurred. She had never believed it, but Henry's words had always come true. While he might be lucky, he had indeed accomplished things that seemed impossible."What do you mean?" Lydia asked."I have evidence that the Walkers have committed quite a few offenses, and they have quite a few major problems. They won't be able to last for long," Henry said.Indeed, martial arts families like the Walkers never had clean hands. Ultimately, the real reason for their impending downfall was that they had offended Henry.Lydia was stunned; she found it hard to believe. Everyone knew the Walkers were thriving, and unlike the Brandons, their strength was formidable."Where did you get this information from?""Aurelia.""You know people in Aurelia?" Lydia asked in surprise."Yeah, you must've forgotten I'm from Aurelia," Henry replied."Oh, right, I almost forgot. You're from Aurelia's Serenity Peak." Lydia recalled t
"What?!" John was shocked.He shouted angrily, "What do you mean by that? Are you going to leave us behind?""I won't, but it doesn't necessarily mean I have to marry Simon," Lydia replied."Do you have another way then?""Yes.""What's that?""You'll find out later." Lydia suddenly thought of a way to increase Henry's prestige."What do you mean? We're running out of time," John said angrily."Yeah, Lydia, do you even know what you're saying, or has Henry manipulated you again?" Jennifer chimed in."He wouldn't."Fine, I'll tell you. Henry said he would deal with the Walkers. But it will take a few days, and we just have to be patient," Lydia exclaimed loudly, planning to credit Henry with the Walkers' downfall. With that, the Millers would regard him highly.However, she was unaware that Henry would be instrumental in bringing down the Walkers, exerting significant effort. The Walkers would not have collapsed so easily without him."What?""Do you even know what you're s
Meanwhile, someone was fighting outside.Lydia, who had planned to return to her room, heard the noise and immediately remembered Henry, who had just left the hall. She could not help but wonder if her grandfather had sent people to bring him down.Even though Henry was skilled in martial arts, he could not take on so many opponents alone. So she hurriedly went to see what was happening.As Henry stepped out of the hall, he was met by a group of six men who prevented him from leaving the mansion."You've been hiding so well, making it hard for me to find you," the group's leader, a young man, cursed menacingly.Henry furrowed his brows and asked, "Are you looking for me?""Who else would I be looking for? It's been so effortless stumbling upon you here," the young man replied arrogantly."And it's your own fault. How dare you to provoke the Millers? I must teach you a harsh lesson today," the young man declared proudly.Henry was speechless. He turned to look at the Miller Mans
When Jennifer heard that, she glared at Henry and said, "Henry, what are you doing? Who gave you permission to fight here?"Henry chuckled and pointed at Mark. "Him, of course. He tried to kill me. Should I just stand here and let him do it?""Nonsense!" Jennifer immediately retorted. "Mark has no grudge against you. Why would he attack you?""You should ask him that," Henry said coldly.He looked at Mark and said, "Tell them—why did you attack me? You better tell the truth!"Mark feared Henry's words, a strange dread lingering in his heart. Henry had embedded demonic martial arts in his words, which deeply impacted Mark's soul.Jennifer quickly said, "Don't be afraid of him, Mark. Tell the truth. Nobody will dare bully you with me here."Unfortunately, Mark was too frightened by Henry. He said, "Auntie told me to deal with you. She said you must divorce Lydia and leave the Millers immediately. Otherwise, I'm supposed to cripple you or even kill you.""You! You useless shit!"
"Don't mention it. My family owes you an apology. Unlike Sarah, they did that for me. So, I can't do anything to them," Lydia explained."I understand. Don't worry. The Walkers won't cause any trouble." Henry assured her."Okay. I'll wait for your good news then.""Okay."Henry got into the car and drove away.Lydia returned to the mansion as Henry left. She did not say a word to her family and returned to her room. She took out the knife-shaped jade pendant again.Lydia suddenly thought of an important question as she looked at the pendant. She wondered how Simon could have a similar pendant if he were not Little Beggar. Did Sarah tell Simon about it, and he made a fake one?It did not make sense! She had touched the pendant—it was made of the same material as the one she had. Even though she did not know much about jade, she had held onto her pendant for many years.Also, even though she told Sarah about her childhood, Sarah had never seen the pendant up close, let alone touc
