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
Jess kept calm and avoided getting angry. After some simple questions, she said, "Henry, you should take the initiative and explain everything immediately."Otherwise, if I discover the truth through other means, you'll lose your only opportunity to reduce your sentence."Henry appeared frustrated. He shook his head and asked, "What's there to explain? I didn't do anything illegal.""Are you sure? This is your only chance. No matter who begs for your mercy this time, I won't let you go.""There's nothing to explain.""Well, you asked for it."Jess became angry and said, "Bring them in."When the others heard her order, they immediately brought in Neil and Edward. As soon as they entered, they noticed Henry sitting there.Despite having his hands cuffed, Henry remained calm. However, his facial expression shifted slightly.Henry also glanced at them. He had a cold, sharp look in his eyes.Both men's hearts trembled slightly, and they could not help but break out in cold sweat.
"May I be struck by the thunder if I had lied to you."Neil was dumbfounded. Edward had lied, but he dared to swear on his life. Was he not afraid of the swear coming true? However, Edward's fear of facing Henry was apparent.Jess was infuriated. Fortunately, they had another eyewitness. She turned around and said, "Neil, didn't you say earlier that Henry used his skills to act recklessly and harm people as he wished?"Neil immediately denied it, saying, "No, Mr. Truman is a very nice person. We were cruel to him, but he refused to harm us. How could he harm others as he wanted?"When Jess heard that, she became enraged. "Neil, you think you can undo everything you've said by changing your story now? We have surveillance videos."Neil's facial expression changed several times after learning about the surveillance videos. What should he do? He had no choice but to confess truthfully out of desperation. He replied, "Yes, I said that before, but someone asked me to say that intention
"Why? Do you feel wronged?Despite Jess's pitiful expression, Sergeant James continued commenting about her. He grumbled, "If you can't stand me or still want to act the way you want, please ask to be transferred."Our station can't accommodate someone with a huge ego like you."His words were very hurtful. Jess's tears of grief streamed down her cheeks directly. She could not help but say, "There's clearly something wrong with Henry. What is it about his identity that compels you to defend him like this?""There's something wrong with him?"Where is the evidence, then? How can you claim that he has a problem if there's no evidence?"Can I arrest you for interrogation simply because I have a passing suspicion that something is wrong with you?" Sergeant James asked when he saw that she had not repented."I—"Jess wanted to say something but was unable to refute it."You have nothing to say now?""If you still want to work at the police station, apologize to Mr. Truman immediat
