Despite the severe consequences, the Miller Group would have collapsed long ago without Henry. Besides, regardless of those factors, Lydia would never allow Henry to be insulted. She coldly replied, "Of course not!"Edward was stunned, thinking he had misheard."I forgot to introduce him properly. This is Henry, my husband. Which means my company is his company."If he says we can't work together, then we can't.""What? You two are married?" Edward's face turned pale with anger. He was furious that Lydia chose to side with Henry and even more enraged that Lydia was already married to someone he despised.He immediately retorted, "No way, Ms. Miller. How could you marry such trash?"Even though he did not know much about Henry, Lilian had told him that Henry was a nobody with no power or connections. In other words, a complete loser.However, Lilian mentioned that he married someone from a somewhat wealthy family. Edward wondered if it was the Millers. He was upset that Henry got
Henry laughed, clearly showing his disdain and mocking Edward's threats. That infuriated Edward even more. Edward shouted, "You're asking for it, Henry. This restaurant belongs to my family, and I can cripple you now.""No! You wouldn't dare!" Lydia immediately retorted."I'm warning you, If anything happens to us here, the Millers will never let it go. Try it."The Neptune Group might be powerful, but the Miller Group is not far behind. For Henry's sake, we'll drag the Neptune Group down with us regardless of the costs to the Miller Group." Her tone was resolute and icy, leaving no room for doubt that she meant every word."Let's go, Henry. Ignore him!" Lydia said firmly."If he dares to harm us, the Miller Group will fight him to the end!"Her tone was cold and unwavering. She took Henry's hand and started to walk out. The men blocking the doorway had been intimidated by Lydia's aura and reluctantly stepped aside. Edward's face contorted with rage as they left.He smashed his
Lydia had picked up on the underlying meaning, and her face turned red as she scolded playfully, "What are you talking about? It was just to handle the situation.""So it was just to handle the situation and not because you really want me to be your husband?" Henry teased."Dream on! Unless you achieve something great and become the company's vice president," Lydia said, thinking a little incentive might motivate Henry to work harder."What kind of achievement would that be?""It has to be something that significantly benefits the company, like helping our expansion into the jewelry business. If you can make a big impact there, that counts.""What about making our company one of the top Hodbridge's jewelry business players?" Henry asked."Of course, but how is that possible? We've just started," Lydia said."Do you remember Sebastian?" Henry asked, knowing that the Yorks were a major player in the market.Lydia nodded and said, "Of course, I know their family is in this busines
Lydia felt slightly disappointed that the deal did not go through, but Henry's words lifted her spirits. As lunchtime approached, they found a restaurant nearby to eat, unaware that Edward had arranged for people to follow them.Edward was known for his vengeful nature, and Lydia's threat earlier had made him furious. As soon as they entered the restaurant, Lydia's beauty caught everyone's attention. She was indeed stunning, far more beautiful than most celebrities. Henry had booked a large private room to avoid the stares.The waiter quickly noticed their extraordinary status, especially given Lydia's elegant demeanor.Their food arrived promptly, but the private room's door burst open just as they started eating.Edward walked in with six men.Lydia's face changed as she asked angrily, "What are you doing, Mr. Warren?""What do you think? Do you think I'll let you go easily?" Edward sneered."Did you forget what I said earlier?" Lydia snapped."Of course not. I doubt you'll b
Henry's bold declaration slightly surprised Lydia. She did not expect him to boast in front of Edward, but that was typical of Henry, and his bold claims often turned out to be true.Edward was slightly stunned before bursting into mocking laughter. "You're killing me! I have to applaud your stupidity. I've seen clueless people, but never anyone as brainless as you. This is hilarious!"Henry shook his head and said, "Laugh while you can.""I'll be laughing for sure; I'll laugh for the rest of my life. But you'll die today."Get him!" Edward ordered his men.They had already surrounded Henry and were waiting for Edward's instruction.At Edward's command, one of them threw a powerful punch.Lydia could not help but feel a surge of anxiety even though she knew what Henry could do.Bang!The room echoed with the sound of impact, leaving everyone in shock.Henry had not moved an inch, yet the attacker was sent flying, landing heavily on Edward.Lydia was stunned; she had not even
Edward had not believed in Henry's bold declaration.Even Lydia found it hard to believe. However, knowing Henry's past feats, she held onto a glimmer of hope.As Henry's phone call went through, it was answered by Sebastian.Sebastian had been trying to figure out how to contact Henry since Eric was expected to arrive soon. Though Henry had downplayed the threat, Sebastian knew they needed to prepare.After all, the Levies were a major family from Aurelia, which was relatively stronger than the Yorks. Sebastian believed that Henry had called to discuss dealing with Eric."Mr. Truman!" Sebastian greeted him eagerly."Are you calling about Eric?"Henry frowned."Is he here already?""Not yet, but he'll be here tomorrow," Sebastian replied anxiously."Oh, then why worry about him now?" Henry was indifferent about that issue.With a wry smile, Sebastian asked, "Is there something you need, Mr. Truman?""Nothing big. Are you in charge of the Yorks now?" Henry asked."Absolutel
Sebastian was dumbfounded. He knew the Yorks could not possibly achieve that alone. Even Bowen and the others, who were nearby and overheard the conversation, were equally shocked.It seemed an impossible task."What's wrong? You're not willing to do so?" Henry asked calmly."Not at all," Sebastian replied helplessly."I'm just afraid that the Yorks won't be able to do that. Though we're stronger, the gap isn't that significant.""Don't worry about that. I'm only asking if you're willing to do it," Henry said nonchalantly.Sebastian was taken aback. He looked at his dad, Bowen, who nodded after a moment of hesitation. Sebastian quickly responded, "We can do it. But I'll need to consult with my dad and work out the specifics.""Alright."Henry hung up and messaged Dustin. [Liaise with the Yorks. I want the Neptune Group gone by today.]Henry had already informed Dustin to investigate and target the Warrens and Neptune Group anyway. He had not expected Edward to cause trouble so
They felt intense pain and quickly let go."Don't worry, as long as you behave and do what I say, I'll lift it once I leave."You must promise not to tell anyone about what happened here or bring anyone back. If you do, you won't live through the night.""We won't; we promise!" the group quickly responded."Good! Now get lost!" Henry told them to leave immediately.The group scrambled to their feet and rushed out immediately. They were terrified of Henry.Edward became furious as his followers ignored him and fled. He was about to scream for help. However, he was hit by a powerful force, causing excruciating pain in his chest, and he spat out blood.Henry waved his hand; the blood splashed only on Edward. He looked like he'd been through severe punishment.As Edward's followers hurried away, Lilian happened to pass by and walked forward."Is that you, Mr. Truman? Are you having lunch here, too?" Lilian asked as she was surprised to run into him.Henry nodded and glanced at th
