Lydia did not know why, but she was not as upset as she had expected to be after Simon's mean words.It was truly disgusting to be liked by such a person.However, Henry's help had yet to arrive. She must help buy some time before then.Nobody noticed Henry's cold expression when Simon described Lydia as a bitch.He nearly made a move to cripple Simon.Then, Denton said coldly, "No need to waste your words with these lowlifes, Simon. Don't worry. You can do whatever you want with that woman tonight."Now, Henry, will you disable yourself and beg for mercy, or shall I help you with that?"Simon had requested that Henry be thoroughly humiliated and tortured before his death."Henry, why aren't you crawling over and begging for mercy?" Simon spoke arrogantly.Henry chuckled. "What makes you think I'm going to kneel and beg for mercy? You guys are definitely seeking death.""How dare you?!" Denton was furious, and a powerful aura erupted from him, ready to attack.However, a gro
'Is Henry from the same Truman family?' Lydia thought.Lydia had that sudden thought but quickly shook her head to dismiss it. Henry appeared relaxed, but he lacked a noble demeanor.Instead, he appeared ordinary, but Lydia found Henry appealing and easy on the eyes.William and Jennifer looked at the steady and domineering young man in front of them, dressed in opulent attire and exuding an exceptional temperament. Simon was nothing compared to him.They were thrilled and thought he was the ideal match for Lydia, but Lydia had never met a man like him.Denton was very nervous, quietly waiting for the young man's response.However, the young man snorted in a firm, icy-cold tone. "You'll know when you reach Aurelia. Or you can refuse to follow us back.""Stop being ridiculous! Who do you believe the Walkers are? You can't just take my grandfather."Simon could not bear the Walkers being humiliated, especially in front of the Millers and Lydia.When the young man heard Simon's w
Lydia's face changed when she heard that, and she quickly said, Young master Truman, he's bullying us. Please don't listen to him."Jennifer also said, "What nonsense are you talking about, Lydia? How can you influence Young Master Truman's decision? Please do whatever you want, Young Master Truman."Regardless, Henry's not a good person. Getting rid of him is for the greater good.""Mom!" Lydia was infuriated. She thought her mother had gone too far; it could kill Henry.Peter looked at Lydia. His eyes lit up, and he could not help but admire her.'What a lovely woman, especially her clear gaze, shining like stars in the sky,' Peter thought.He smiled and asked, "May I know your name?""I'm Lydia Miller. I'm to blame for the Walkers' current problems. You appear to be just, Young Master Truman. Please don't let them continue with their wrongdoings," Lydia said.The Millers were anxious. 'What is Lydia doing? Young Master Truman's not to be taken lightly. Isn't she afraid of up
As everyone dispersed, particularly as Walkers were taken away, the Millers felt relieved.It was fortunate that Peter had appeared then.Jennifer was not only grateful but also excited. She quickly asked, "Lydia, did you see that? Young Master Truman looked at you differently. Does he like you?""Stop talking nonsense, Mom!"Lydia was irritated and exclaimed, "How can he be interested in someone like us?""Why not? Men must be wealthy and powerful. Otherwise, they're nothing more than trash," Jennifer said with an intentional glance at Henry."As for women, as long as they are outstanding and perfect, nothing else matters.""There's a saying—women conquer the world by conquering men, while men conquer women by conquering the world."Lydia was speechless and ignored her mother. Instead, she went straight to Henry and said, "Henry, we owe you. Young Master Truman wouldn't have appeared if not for you, and we would've been doomed."As she spoke, she hinted at Henry with her eyes
John immediately asked, "Henry, since you know Young Master Truman and brought him here to deal with the Walkers, why didn't you greet him just now?"Henry was taken aback and unsure how to respond. Jennifer also noticed Henry's silence and wondered if he had lied to them.Lydia was desperately trying to figure out how to make things better. However, Peter appeared from nowhere.The Millers were taken aback, but John quickly addressed him respectfully, "Young Master Truman!"However, Peter did not spare him a glance. He went straight to Lydia and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Miller. Denton made a sudden move and escaped with his grandson and the masters who accompanied him.""What!" The news shocked the entire Miller family. After all, Simon harbored deep resentment for them, particularly Henry. While Henry was with the Millers, they might go there to kill him.Henry furrowed his brow slightly. He had not expected Simon to be able to escape despite being restricted.Denton had planned
When John heard that, his face fell. He glared at Henry and was about to scold him.Lydia refused to let her grandfather speak any further. Peter would be furious to learn that Henry had used his name to claim credit, especially if Henry had invited Peter. Henry looked arrogant as if he were on top of the world."Grandpa, that was just a joke."Lydia quickly took over the conversation, saying, "Young Master Truman, please go ahead; we won't disturb you further."Peter snorted coldly and quickly left. He was attracted to Lydia, but she was too ignorant.'She'll regret it after I leave.'However, capturing Simon was his first experience handling such an important task on his own. If he could not complete the task, he would disappoint his family, who had provided him with so much care.As a result, he wasted no time tracking down and capturing Simon.He had not expected to care about a woman and went out of his way to warn them.As Peter left, everyone in the Miller family looked
They might do anything.They had fled from the Supreme Defenders. Once apprehended, they would be essentially killed. Under such circumstances, they might resort to doing anything.Henry's cell phone rang as soon as he left. He picked it up casually when he noticed it was from Lora."Henry, are you available now?" Lora inquired cautiously.She had asked Henry to pretend to be her boyfriend, which had led to a misunderstanding with his wife. She was not sure if they had reconciled."It's fine. What is it?" Henry said."Have you reconciled with her?" Lora did not dare to speak clearly because her mother was beside her. After all, her parents were unaware that Henry was married."We're fine. You don't have to worry about that.""No…"Lora hurriedly added, "There's one more thing.""What's up?""Sebastian York visited our home yesterday. He gave us a villa on Grand Avenue as an apology," Lora said hurriedly.Sebastian visited them the previous day, bringing the villa key and ot
Seeing her daughter's determination, Doris immediately changed her expression and begged her. "Henry said it was fine. Lora, even if you don't want it, I have worked hard all my life. Can't you just think of it as something for me in my old age?"Do you really want your father to keep working so hard?""I'll make enough money to support you both.""With the little money you earn, when can I live in a villa?" Doris replied. Then, she said anxiously, "Lora, this thing is already in your hand, but you don't want it. Are you really going to make me suffer until the end?""No!"Lora smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to accept your gift. However, Henry and I are not married.""You're not married, but you're a couple. It's normal for people to give each other things. Don't overthink Henry's situation. To him, giving someone a villa is the same as giving someone a random small gift," Doris explained."We're not even a couple at all." Lora had no choice but to sp
