Eric quickly composed himself before answering the call, "What's up, John?""Young Master Levy, are you free tomorrow?" John asked eagerly. He wanted to seize the chance to discuss the wedding with Lydia, especially since Eric seemed interested in her. John had always admired Eric and thought he would perfectly match Lydia. The bond between the two families could be strengthened if they got together.Eric perked up and replied, "I don't have any plans at the moment.""Great! We were a bit hasty before. I'd like to invite you to lunch and talk about you and Lydia," John said."You mean Lydia is willing to be with me?" Eric could not hide his excitement."Not really, for now, but don't worry. Her parents and I like you very much, so we'll do our best to make it happen," John said."Alright. To be honest, I'm very fond of Lydia. But if she doesn't like me, I won't force it," Eric replied, trying to sound like a gentleman.John hung up with satisfaction. He was even more convinced t
"You were amazing just now! I had no idea you were so powerful," Lilian said excitedly.Bowen felt a little anxious, worried that Lilian might say something to upset Henry. After all, dealing with the Levies was a piece of cake for Henry. However, Henry did not mind and laughed. "I'm a man of my word.""Eric is no match for you," Lilian said in excitement."You've always been my idol."Seeing Henry's puzzled look, Lilian explained, "I meant your other identity."Henry finally understood and chuckled. "So, do you want an autograph and a photo with me?""If that's possible, of course!" Lilian eagerly responded.Henry shook his head and smiled. "Alright, I was just joking. Since the Yorks are fine, I'll head off now.""You're leaving already?" Bowen was stunned. It seemed that Henry was leaving without taking the promised compensation. He then wondered if Henry might be interested in Lilian, considering how friendly their conversation had been.Lilian was talented and beautiful a
Henry was supposed to take over as CEO, but the incident with the Yorks delayed him. He decided to call in and postpone it to the next day. He was not concerned much about the Neptune Group; letting things get chaotic might even help him identify capable individuals to promote later.However, Lydia found out and called him, clearly annoyed. "Henry, what are you doing? Aren't you supposed to start as CEO today?""Something came up. I'll go tomorrow," he replied."What happened? Did someone try to hurt you?" Lydia asked."No, I just helped a friend deal with a big problem and took care of someone you're eager to get rid of," Henry said with a smile."Who's that? You don't mean Eric, do you?" Lydia was startled. She wondered if Henry beat Eric."Yeah, it was him. I slapped him so hard," Henry replied."You always act so recklessly!" Lydia was exasperated."You can't just go around hitting people. It can cause big trouble. Does he know your name?""No, he doesn't.""Good, but be
"So you must know how powerful the Chapman Legacy is. It's just a piece of cake to kill like you," Ted said coldly."You think you're strong? Even Jeffery Ford, the richest man in Hodbridge, is nothing but an ant to me.""And?" Henry was curious why Ted was contacting him."I'm just warning you—Chansey is mine. Stay away from her.""What if I don't?" Henry replied.He finally realized Ted must have found out about Chansey's phone call. It was no wonder she hung up quickly; he was too controlling."Think about your end-of-life wishes then," Ted said and hung up, cursing under his breath.Ted had ordered his men to kill Henry if he contacted Chansey again. He had not acted directly because he did not want to disturb Chansey, whom he still needed.Henry frowned. It was clear Chansey was not living well. However, he had not received any updates from the Golden Liberty Secret Agent he had arranged. As he pondered, his phone rang—it was one of the secret agents."Master!""How was
When Henry questioned the secret agent, he quickly replied, "Yes, but Ted uses a long-lost domineering ancient technique known as the Tyrant Technique. No woman can cultivate with him."Henry's expression changed. He had heard of it even though he did not know it himself."Isn't he supposed to practice the Chapman Methods?""No, he's not.""Then I understand why he wants to marry Chansey," Henry said coldly.Ted aimed to drain Chansey's life. While Henry's technique could enhance her cultivation and even purify her body, the Tyrant Technique would cause her to age rapidly and die."Why?" the secret agent asked in surprise."Nothing to it. Keep monitoring them closely. I'll handle the rest."Henry hung up. It seemed he needed to visit the Chapman Legacy. However, it was no easy target. Even though he was not afraid of them, causing a big scene would be detrimental to everyone involved. Rumor had it that the Chapman Legacy had a hidden peak-stage Grandmaster with terrifying stren
"It's good to see you, Henry. Come, please take a seat." Sheena invited Henry with an uncontrollable smile, showing how genuinely happy she was.Henry had not only changed her fate; she had grown to like him over the many times they had interacted. His repeated refusal to meet her had made her miss him more.Henry sat next to Sheena, captivated by the faint fragrance around her. After all, Sheena was a stunning beauty, and no man could deny appreciating that."You've been so busy lately," Sheena said with a slight tone of grievance."Well, I've been really busy lately," Henry replied, feeling awkward.He shifted the conversation as he noticed the other two women in the room. One of the women looked like Penny but was much more beautiful and young, while the other appeared more mature, with short hair and a sharp look."They are—" Henry asked.Penny quickly introduced them. "This young lady is my cousin, Chelsea Sawyer. She loves Sheena's songs, so I brought her to lunch with She
Henry was surprised. He understood why Nickie acted that way, so he chuckled quietly; he did not care about it anyway.Maybe it was because he did not plan to deal with Nickie at all. He was just trying to shift the conversation so Sheena would not look all grumpy.When Sheena heard that, she got even more annoyed.Henry raised his hand to stop her and said, "To be honest, it might be funny for you, but it seems we work for the same company."Everyone was surprised.'Isn't Henry with the Miller Group? How did he get involved with the Neptune Group?' they thought."It turns out you're just another nobody."Why didn't you stand up to greet Chelsea in return just now?" Nickie snorted coldly.Henry felt a little helpless. He did not pay much attention to that and was about to explain.However, Penny said, "Mr.Truman is not a nobody, and that's nothing for Chelsea."Chelsea felt she had embarrassed Nickie, so she quickly said, "It's my bad. Let's not talk about it anymore. I'll fi
Penny had been with Sheena for many years. She thought Sheena was always quite reserved. Her first requirement for previous filming jobs was no physical contact with male actors. However, it seemed like she was ready to throw herself into Henry immediately.Henry felt nervous, especially when Sheena leaned in and asked intentionally. He hurriedly said, "How can that be?""I wish you were," Sheena pouted."Umm… Forget about that. I'm done eating, and I still have things to do—""No!" Sheena interrupted him."It's rare to meet you. You must spend more time with me today."After days of longing, Sheena decided to stand firm and not let go.Henry was at a loss and said helplessly, "What are you doing? I'm married.""I know. I'm not asking you to take responsibility for anything; I won't mess up your family. Okay?"Powerful men have many women around them, and you're the strongest among them." Sheena implied that she was willing to be Henry's mistress.Henry shook his head and sai
