"Yes, yes, you can do whatever you want. Even if you beat her to death, I'll take full responsibility," Ray quickly said."Please, I beg you. Please give me a chance for the sake of us being classmates before. I'll be grateful forever," Bell pleaded."Didn't you say having me as a classmate was your biggest shame? You're begging that shame to save you?" Maeve felt a surge of anger as she recalled the humiliation earlier."I was wrong. I was stupid. I'm sorry. You can beat or scold me. Just please, spare me." Bell's tears streamed down her face as she begged.Maeve was full of resentment. She wanted to humiliate Bell in return. However, she could not bring herself to be harsh. She shook her head and said, "Fine. I won't hold what you did against me, and I won't do anything to you. But I can't help beyond that."It meant she would forgive Bell but would not plead on her behalf.Bell understood and quickly turned to Henry. "Mr. Truman, I was wrong, you—""Enough!" Henry interrupted
As soon as Henry called out the person's name, the faces of those around him changed drastically. They were not ordinary people and could quickly identify who was on the call—a powerful officer with significant authority. The ease with which Henry made the call stunned everyone.Even Ray, who had only heard about Henry's influence from his dad, was shocked. The direct connection to such a high-ranking officer proved Henry's incredible power.Upon understanding what had happened, Richard immediately said, "Dr. Truman, rest assured, I'll personally oversee this matter and conduct a thorough investigation into the traffic police department. As for Leroy, he will be duly rewarded for his actions.""Good!" Henry responded."Can you hand the phone to Leroy?" Richard asked."Of course," Henry replied, then handed the phone to Leroy."Mr. Miles wants to speak with you.""Mr. Miles?" Leroy asked.Henry smiled. "Mr. Richard Miles.""Ah!" Leroy was stunned. His hands trembled as he took
After some polite greetings and apologies, Chris said, "Mr. Truman, we've sorted out the responsibilities for the accident. Bell is primarily at fault and will cover all the compensation. If you have any requests, just let us know."It was clear that Chen was trying to smooth things over and reduce the consequences for Ray.Henry, not particularly interested in the compensation, said calmly, "The compensation can be handled as it should. But they kept insulting me, which needs to be addressed."Ray's face turned pale, but he did not dare to argue.He asked cautiously, "How can we make that up for you, Mr. Truman?""It's simple. You wanted us to crawl between your legs earlier. Now, I want you two to do the same. I've always been a man of my word, and you can't expect me to go back on it now," Henry replied.Ray's face turned ashen. Crawling between someone's legs in public would be utterly humiliating. He glared at Bell, thinking it was all her fault for suggesting it in the firs
Maeve grew anxious, thinking Henry was too showy.However, to everyone's surprise, although Chris' expression changed slightly, he quickly hid any displeasure and said, "Yes, yes, you're right, Mr. Truman. I'm not anyone worthy. Please handle Ray however you see fit."That shocked everyone present.Maeve was even more starstruck, thinking about Henry's extraordinary nature. Losing someone like him would be a huge mistake.Despite his bitterness, Ray saw the helpless look in Chris's eyes and realized he had no choice. He had heard enough from his grandfather about the terrifying power of the Master of Golden Liberty. He knew if he did not comply, not only would he suffer, but his entire family might be doomed."I'll do as you say, Mr. Truman," Ray said reluctantly."What are you waiting for then? Get on with it. I'm homesick and hungry."With no other option, Ray glared at Bell and said, "You go first!"Bell looked around helplessly and asked softly, "From whom should I start?"
Just moments ago, the Millers discussed how to frame Henry and kick him out of the family. Suddenly, they received a call from Norman Steward. Twenty years ago, the Millers had a conflict with Norman during a real estate demolition project.Back then, the buildings in that area were already condemned, and all the other residents had received compensation and relocation funds and had left. However, Norman and his mother demanded an outrageous 3 million dollars for their 96-square-foot house.The person in charge of the demolition from the Millers was Victor. He resorted to threats, intimidation, and even cutting off water and electricity. However, Norman, a notorious thug, did not back down. Without their signatures, the project could not proceed.Unexpectedly, a storm destroyed the fragile house, and Norman's mother died in the collapse. Norman blamed the Millers for forcing them to stay in a dangerous house, leading to his mother's death. The Millers eventually paid 750,000 dollars
There was no solution other than protecting Lydia if she encountered a grandmaster. After all, skilled female bodyguards were hard to find. After all, a grandmaster would not engage in such vile activities.In the car, Maeve could not contain her excitement. "You're awesome, Henry! How are you so strong? It's incredible!"Her excitement caused her chest to heave noticeably. Henry glanced briefly and quickly looked away."Why aren't you talking? Who are you?""I'm just an ordinary person," Henry said calmly."No way! Come on! Tell me who you really are!"Maeve clung to Henry's right hand while his left hand held the steering wheel."Didn't Lydia tell you?" Henry asked."No.""Well, actually—"Henry was about to explain when his phone rang. He answered, "We're almost home, Grandpa Miller.""Good, hurry back! Lydia's in trouble," John said urgently."What happened?" Henry's expression changed drastically."She's been kidnapped. I'll explain everything when you get here," John s
Henry was extremely anxious. After getting out of the car, he quickly entered the mansion.At that moment, John and others were already waiting at the door. As soon as they saw Henry, they rushed to greet him as if he were a superstar."Thank goodness! You're finally here, Henry!"They completely forgot about their earlier conversation. Just before they received Norman's call, they had been discussing how to frame Henry."Henry, Lydia is your wife. You must save her," Jennifer urgently pleaded, trying to ensure Henry would not back out."Don't worry, I'll do everything possible," Henry replied. He had no time to consider Jennifer's motives. He then turned to John and asked, "What happened? Tell me everything in detail."John quickly explained the grudges and the situation."So, you're saying the kidnappers called and told you not to call the police or seek outside help. They want 75 million dollars to be transferred to their overseas account," Henry said."Yes, 75 million dolla
Norman almost exploded in anger when he heard Henry's voice. He said coldly, "Who do you think you are to talk to me? Let the old man talk.""No," Henry replied coldly."From now on, I'll represent Mr. Miller. My words are his words. But of course, if you don't want the money, you can ignore me.""Are you threatening me?"John Miller, get over here now if you care about your granddaughter's life!" Norman shouted.John was nervous and was about to speak to defuse the situation, but Henry cut in and warned coldly, "He won't be dealing with you from now on. Talk to me directly."And let me make this clear—if my wife is harmed, even just a little scratch, you won't see a single cent.""Arrogant fool! Who do you think you are? I'll harm her right now and then storm the Miller Mansion for the money," Norman fumed.That sounded like his usual approach, but his senior brother, Keith Murry, had warned against it. The Millers were not as simple as they seemed.No one knew what could hap
