After a long moment, Herman finally spoke excitedly."Thank you, Henry. Without your help, I'd still be an ordinary salesman."No matter what you need from me in the future, I'll be there without hesitation.""Good to hear that," Henry said calmly."To be honest, I promoted Cecilia because I'm worried you lack experience. She'll assist you."So, you'll have to work hard to secure this position. Otherwise, Cecilia might take it from you.""Aren't you afraid this will cause conflict between us, Mr. Truman?" Cecilia asked helplessly."Don't worry about that!" Herman quickly reassured Cecilia."I know you well, and you've always looked out for me. I'm sure we will work well together."Herman turned to Henry and said, "Rest assured, I'll do my best.""Very good!" Henry said.Henry looked at Cecilia and smiled. "You've been with the company longer and have more experience. Please help Herman as much as possible, Ms. Leon.""I will, Mr. Truman.""Good. Even though there's only on
Jess flashed her police badge to the receptionist and said, "We're here for Henry. He's a suspect in a group fight."The receptionist was startled and quickly replied, "Please wait, let me check."Henry was not a nobody, so she could not just let them in.However, Jess ignored her and marched inside. She found someone and coldly asked, "Where's Henry?"The person was frightened and pointed the way. By then, Henry had received a call from the reception and decided to approach them. He soon encountered Jess and her team."Henry!" Jess called out."I told you we'd meet again. I didn't expect it to be this soon." Jess was furious as she remembered Henry's smug look the last time. She could finally arrest him.However, Henry remained unfazed by her irritation and smiled. "What brings you here, Officer Drayson? You want to see me?""Indeed. I'm to arrest you," Jess sneered."That's not right. That would mean you're biased against me," Henry replied with a smile.Realizing her slip,
Jess was furious after being blatantly provoked by Henry and Lydia. Her eyes filled with anger as she coldly glanced at Lydia and said, "He won't be released unless he's truly innocent. No one can make him walk free."Then, she left with her team.Lydia's expression darkened. She quickly asked the people nearby and learned that Henry had been arrested because of Edward.She had not expected Edward to lodge a police report against Henry. She needed to understand what had happened.Just then, Lydia's phone rang. It was John."Grandpa!""Come home immediately," John commanded."What happened? I'm busy right now and can't leave.""No matter how busy you are, you must come home immediately," John said."Alright." Lydia sighed and complied.John looked nervous. He instructed William and Jennifer to prepare everything.It turned out that Alfred Levy, Eric's grandfather, had requested Eric visit the Millers.About half an hour later, Eric arrived.He appeared refined and polite, w
Eric's grandfather even wanted Eric to meet Lydia. Top-notch beauties always surrounded Eric; he had no idea why he had to meet a woman from a trashy family.Alfred treated John pretty well. He hoped Lydia could get together with Eric. Of course, Eric must like her, too.John was curious and asked, "Which family dared to provoke you, Young Master Levy?""Hmph, the Yorks!" Eric sneered. He did not expect the Yorks to be so clueless and dare to go against him for a woman.He was there to offer a last chance to the Yorks, or they would end up miserably."The Yorks? They're quite powerful here." John was surprised."Bullshit!"The Yorks might seem powerful to you guys. But once I make a move, they won't stand a chance," Eric said arrogantly."Yeah, it's a different story if you intervene personally." John shook his head.He could not believe the Yorks dared to challenge the Levies.He sighed—the Yorks must have been clueless when they made that huge mistake. However, some mistake
When John and the others saw Eric's reaction, they were excited. John was confident that everything would work out as expected. He immediately said, "Young Master Levy, please allow me to introduce you to my granddaughter, Lydia.""She's the CEO of Miller Group, in charge of the entire organization."Eric finally regained his composure when he heard that. He was less arrogant than before. He stepped forward with enthusiasm and said, "Hello, Ms. Miller. I didn't expect you to look so stunning. You're more beautiful than a fairy."As he spoke, he extended his right hand, intending to shake Lydia's.Lydia hesitated, and she did not extend her hand in the end.Jennifer quickly introduced them, saying, "Why are you just standing there? This is Mr. Levy from Aurelia. Greet him right away."Eric immediately responded, "It's fine. It's nice to meet you, Ms. Miller. You must be nervous as this is our first meeting. Come, let's sit down and talk."It was clear he was not going to leave.
"Henry, do you think there's someone behind supporting you who can help you get out of here?" Jess's question was obviously a trap."No, I didn't say someone was supporting me.""Why are you so confident then that someone will be able to help you get out of here?""I didn't say anyone would bail me out. I'm confident I can get out because I haven't done anything illegal. Since I haven't done anything illegal, of course, I can get out of here." Henry smiled.When Jess heard that, she cursed discreetly. 'What a cunning person. He didn't say anything at all.' She said coldly, "You managed to escape the last time, but we have concrete evidence this time. Let's see how you'll be able to get out of this."Henry smiled and said, "Officer Drayson, do you want to make a bet? If I can't leave the police station today, I'll listen to your instructions in everything from now on.""Are you sure?" Jess sneered. With her ability and the fact that Henry had indeed committed a crime, keeping him
Sebastian put down the phone helplessly. He looked at his father's eager eyes. It was obvious that he was asking what Henry's reply was.As several previous calls were unanswered, he did not turn on the speaker on his phone for the call. As such, the people near him could not hear the content of their conversation clearly."Mr. Truman said to call him when Eric arrives," Sebastian said helplessly."It's still the same."Bowen smiled bitterly and said with frustration, "That's it. We can only listen to Mr. Truman's instructions. Besides, Eric didn't come here as soon as he came to Hodbridge. He must be waiting for us to compromise.""So, we can still afford to wait for Mr. Truman to get here.""I'm afraid that he'll abandon us. If he doesn't show up, we'll be in trouble," one of the family elders said."He won't do that." Sebastian shook his head and said, "Since Henry had promised us, he'd definitely do it."On the other hand, Jess was worried that Henry was plotting something.
Donald hung up and inquired about the matter immediately. He then learned that the other party had offended Frankie, the deputy mayor. He called Frankie immediately.When Frankie heard Donald on the phone, he was extremely respectful. Donald had served as secretary for quite some time, even though he was about to retire.As a result, Frankie agreed to let the Miller Group go.As for Henry, nothing was mentioned. Hence, Frankie would not let him go so easily. He even wanted him dead.That was the only way to dismiss the hatred in his daughter's heart. Since he could not take action against the Miller Group, he decided to punish Henry severely.Eric hung up the phone and then returned to sit down. He said, "Don't worry, Lydia. I've already spoken with Mr. Chapman, the top leader in your city. He'll take care of it. It's perfectly fine.""That's fantastic. You must have many connections, Mr. Levy. With just one phone call, you can reach the most powerful person in the city," John s
