"Mom!" Mike called out immediately, trying to stop the conversation."We can't bother Lydia with this right now."However, Jennifer raised her voice deliberately. "What do you mean? Are you going to let your girlfriend suffer?"Lydia, who had overheard the commotion, asked, "What's going on?""I didn't want to bother you. However, I have no other options now." Mike quickly explained what happened to Jane.Lydia turned to Henry but found him staring at her chest.Her face reddened as she snapped at him. "What are you doing?"Mike sensed something was off, so he asked quietly, "Are you okay?""I—I'm fine. Don't worry, I'll think of something," Lydia assured him."Thank you!" Mike hung up the phone.Then, Jane panicked. "Oh, no! My brother is in Hodbridge to take me home."Mike's face changed drastically; he had not expected Jane's brother to arrive so quickly."Don't panic. Why don't I hide you somewhere?""No, that won't work. My brother has a terrible temper. He knows I've
However, Lydia felt guilty to see Henry behaving that way. She could not help but ask, "Henry, I was oblivious and didn't believe you. I even wanted a divorce. Aren't you mad at me?""Of course, I'm not mad at you. I wouldn't have shown up if I blamed you."As for the divorce, I do understand. You wanted to avoid implicating me."Henry smiled.Lydia breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. She said happily, "Henry, you're the best!""That's right, I'm the best. Especially my body!""What? You were never so naughty!""What are you thinking about? I mean, I'm fit. Are you overthinking it?"Lydia was embarrassed. She looked like a little girl who had fallen in love for the first time, and her demeanor was nothing like a CEO's.Since they were back together, Henry reminded Lydia to be mindful of her public image and avoid letting the mysterious person know about his affair with Lydia.They must appear separated in public.Several uninvited guests came to the Millers'. The y
The Shaw family already knew about the Miller Group. They immediately investigated the young man after learning that their daughter was very close to Mike.Mike was an idler and had accomplished nothing.On the other hand, the Miller family had been doing very well. However, they were still far behind the Shaw family.Most importantly, Jane was favored by Nathan Scott, who came from one of the prominent four families in Eastonia. It was a perfect match from heaven. George could not allow Jane to be dragged down by such a loser family.John's face turned red after being humiliated. He was embarrassed. If he had known it, he would not have come out.He did not know what was going on, but he had been humiliated every day since he drove Henry away.William originally wanted to come out to defend his woman, but he did not.He felt it was pointless to show up and be humiliated by the other party.There was no way around it; their family was weaker.At that moment, he could not help
Jane looked displeased and could not help turning her head to look at Mike.Mike was anxious and quickly said, "Jane, don't listen to him. I'm not afraid of him.""Boy, it seems you want to die. Okay, I'll kill you first." George was trained, and he was strong.That was why Jane was very worried and scared. She hurriedly said, "No, George, I'll go with you. I'll go back with you.""Jane—""Mike, stop talking. I'll go home for now. Don't worry. I'll wait for you," Jane said quickly."I—"Mike wanted to say something else, but he felt an immense pressure moving toward him. George glanced at him coldly as if he would kill him at any time.However, Mike gritted his teeth and said, "Jane, wait for me. I'll go to Eastonia and get you!""Okay!"Jane turned around to block her brother again. She roared, "George, if you dare to hurt Mike, I'll never go back unless I'm dead."George said coldly, "This loser isn't worthy of my time. However, if he dares to come to Eastonia to find you,
Lydia had not planned to go home so soon, but she heard her brother was in trouble.Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned, she heard her mother blaming Henry for not returning to the Miller family. How could Henry be blamed for that?"Mom, you're wrong!"When Henry was here, there was never a time when he did not stand up for us. This time, we're in the wrong. We even drove him away."Why must he go away or be here on our demands? How did we treat him?" Lydia asked angrily.Even though she did not know what happened at home, she could not accept her mother's words.Jennifer was speechless, but she immediately said angrily, "Lydia, you ignored all my phone calls. How dare you come back now?"Where were you when your mother, your grandfather, and even your brother were humiliated by George Shaw?"Where were you when your brother's girlfriend was taken?"You don't care about your family and only care about yourself. Yet, you still have the nerve to accuse me. Aren't you ashamed?"
If Lydia had not reconciled with Henry, she would have had to work hard to handle that matter, and she obviously would not have been confident about it.However, Lydia was confident because she had Henry's support."Really? Are you going to ask Henry for help?" Mike asked immediately. There was no better way than asking Henry.When Lydia heard that, she hesitated. She remembered Henry's reminder to be discreet about it, so she hurriedly said, "Of course not. I have other ways. Anyway, don't worry, give me some time.""Yeah, okay." Mike nodded. He had no other option but to wait for Lydia to find a way.After a while, John brought Jennifer over and said, "Lydia, your mother had been impulsive just now. She shouldn't have said that about Henry.""Yes, Lydia, it was my fault. So, I will apologize to you." Jennifer said without any hint of an apology on her face.Lydia shook her head and said, "It's okay; it's done. Don't say anything bad about Henry again from now on.""Okay, I pr
"Tell me, what's the matter?" His impression of Maeve had improved a lot. However, Henry still did not want to have too much communication with her, not even when the girl had a curvy figure and was beautiful and charming.Maeve was a little nervous and said cautiously, "Actually, it's about my cousin."Henry immediately understood. He shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about your cousin and me. If there is nothing else, I'll take my leave.""Wait! Henry, I know that my cousin's family has been very harsh on you and did many outrageous things. I was even involved in some of it."Maeve's face reddened. After all, she was embarrassed—she almost slept with Henry."However, Lydia's feelings for you have never changed."Henry shook his head and said, "I know!""Then why do you want to marry Ms. Ford instead of Lydia?" Maeve could not bear the thought of Lydia's pain."This is none of your business. Like I said—I know everything about Lydia."After Henry finished spea
Jacob had been seriously injured the last time, but he came back with confidence, which implied that he must have improved and was confident that he could defeat Henry."Last time, he relied on a sneak attack and got me seriously injured. Even if you don't want to, I must let him know how powerful I am today."Jacob stopped talking to Maeve because he saw that Henry was not interested in the topic and was about to get in the car. Jacob immediately jumped in front of him.Maeve was speechless.Henry frowned. He had many things to do and had no time for Jacob. He said coldly, "Get out of my way!""No! Fight me, and I'll let you know how powerful I am."Jacob thought he could easily defeat his opponent because he had reached the early stage of Transformative Force.After defeating his opponent, he would return to his family, and his family members were very happy.After all, he was very young, yet he had broken through to the early-stage Transformative Force. He was the protege. H
