"Did you see that he begged for mercy with your own eyes?" John asked."I didn't.""That's it. Henry must've found a recording to deceive you. Furthermore, why didn't you ask Mr. Truman about it if you believed Henry? You'd have known the truth when you compared their stories," John said rhetorically."I thought about it, but Mr. Truman was clearly lying. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him if I exposed him?" Lydia asked.She had another concern, too. Henry had asked her not to tell anyone about the situation, and sharing with her family was already a clear violation of his instructions.She was not sure what trouble Henry would get into if she told Peter about it. Furthermore, she was unsure what Peter would do in anger and humiliation if he were exposed as a liar.John was furious and felt helpless. Henry had deceived his granddaughter. However, Henry had excellent fighting skills, making finding someone to deal with him difficult.It appeared that Lydia's only option was to w
What a stunning and attractive lady!"Are you Henry?" Even though she had never met Henry in person, she had seen his photos and sought him out specifically.Henry was stunned. He did not recognize the girl. He nodded and asked, "That's me. Who are you?""You don't even know who I am, yet you have the nerve to claim that you can help our family and even defraud a high-end villa from the Yorks?" the woman asked angrily.As soon as Henry heard that, he knew who she was—Lilian York, the troublemaker with a fierce and outstanding temperament."What? You have nothing to say?" Lilian snorted coldly.The man beside her said, "How dare you con the York family out of a villa. Will you even be alive to live in it?"Henry frowned and asked, "Who are you?""Who am I? You'd be scared to death if I were to tell you."The man proudly said, "I'm Edward Warren, the heir to the Neptune Group. Have you heard of the Neptune Group, which owns assets worth millions of dollars?""A few million doll
When Lilian heard the question, she hesitated and asked, "Edward, you said you like me and would do anything for me. Is this true?""Of course, I'm willing to do anything for you. Even if it is the greatest challenge in life, I will never hesitate." Edward made an immediate promise.Women liked to hear those words.Lilian was deeply moved when she heard that.They spent most of their time together. Even though she had never accepted Edward's affection, he was attractive, and his family was extremely wealthy and powerful. He was the perfect match for her, but he never expected to love her so much."Lilian, why aren't you speaking?" Edward looked at Lilian, who was clearly moved. He secretly felt proud. He had hoped to marry her.Their marriage would benefit his family business, especially since it had not been smooth sailing."It's nothing. I didn't expect you to like me this much. In fact, I got into serious trouble this time.""Serious trouble? What kind of trouble? Tell me. I
That showed that her brother disagreed with gifting the villa.Even though she had returned home late, Lilian found Sebastian and happily said, "Brother, do you know what I did today?""What did you do? This is a sensitive period now; please don't mess around." Sebastian was inexplicably panicked."Don't worry. Am I the kind of person who messes around? Today, I went to find that conman, Henry," Lilian said happily."What?"Sebastian was shocked; his face paled. He said anxiously, "Lilian, what are you talking about? You went to see Mr. Truman? What did you do to him? You didn't mess around, did you?""What do you mean mess around? I went to see him and asked him to return the villa to us. Well, he didn't return it to us. But he did pay 4.5 million dollars to buy the villa for us. Tell me—am I very powerful?" Lilian said excitedly."What!"Sebastian was in shock. He stood motionlessly with a hideous expression. He raised his right hand and wanted to slap her hard.He had loved
Bowen would not hesitate to sacrifice half of the York family's assets as long as they could resolve the issue with Eric. Of course, Henry would need to fix everything with Eric.Otherwise, there would be nothing in the York family for him.However, when Lilian heard that, she became anxious and asked, "Father, what are you talking about? How many millions are half of our family's assets?""How many million?"You still have the nerve to ask that? If you hadn't acted so recklessly, would we be forced to this point?" Bowen said angrily."He appears quite ordinary. I've also requested that someone conduct an investigation. He only has basic fighting skills and no background. He couldn't even manage his own mother-in-law. How can he help us?"It seemed that Lilian was not entirely brainless. She did conduct an investigation on Henry."You! I'm so mad at you!"You think he's useless? Do you think Mr. Ford, the Everising Chamber of Commerce president, is useful?""Of course! He's th
Sebastian was shocked, and he was also a little lost. Clearly, his sister had enraged Henry.What should they do?They were at the most critical point. They learned that Eric would arrive in Hodbridge as early as the following night. If he went to them, the family would have no choice but to compromise."Call him again." Bowen gritted his teeth.He feared he would have to give up half of the York family's assets.Sebastian nodded and called again.Henry saw the number, frowned, and hung up again.One might think it was a mistake with the first hang-up. However, if it were to happen again, it indicated that the other party was upset and did not want to answer the phone.If Sebastian kept calling, it could have a negative effect."Father, what should I do?" Sebastian was helpless."What else can we do? I'll go see him tomorrow," Bowen said helplessly. Henry was their last hope for survival.Bowen would never let him leave.Lilian seemed terrified. She was concerned that she c
The hint was too obvious.Henry was not dumb. Even though Lora did not say it outright, her blushing cheeks and trembling body gave her away.However, he did not expose her. He said, "You should know by now that the group CEO, Lydia, is my wife. So, this company is mine too."If you want to repay me, I do have something for you.""What is it, Henry?" Lora's heart pounded faster.'Is he going to ask for sex right here in the office? That would be too embarrassing. What if someone heard him? How would I face anyone after that?' Lora thought.However, she had already said she would do whatever he asked. She somewhat felt excited to have sex in the office; it even made her body heat up a little.Henry said, "Just work hard and bring more benefits to the company. That's the best way to repay me.""That's it?" Lora was confused. She wondered if Henry could not understand what she tried to say."Yes, that's it. Anything else?" Henry confirmed."That's already my job anyway. Is there
Lora declined immediately. Henry had clarified that nothing could happen between them, so she could not accept any benefits from his authority.Lillian prepared herself quickly and arrived at Henry's office following Lora's lead. Lora left after informing Henry about Lilian's arrival.Lilian tried to calm herself by taking a deep breath and stepping inside cautiously. She saw Henry sitting in the office.If it had been the previous day, she would have thought he was a worthless slacker and possibly mocked him. At that moment, he appeared confident, as if he could accomplish anything.Henry looked different."Mr—Mr. Truman!" Lilian bowed politely and respectfully."What's up?" Henry asked indifferently; he was busy with his phone."Yes! I offended you yesterday due to my ignorance. I came to apologize," Lilian said humbly.She had decided to give it her all, whether it was for herself or her family. While she doubted Henry could stand against the Levies, his ability to impress J
