"I..."Emily almost told him the truth. However, she remembered Anna's instructions and knew she could never let Henry know about her being in Hodbridge.She could only ignore him and said, "I can't do anything if you don't believe me. You can do whatever you want.""Really? Although I don't like you, with your beauty, I have—""How dare you!" Emily felt humiliated and wronged. She angrily interrupted him, "If you dare to do that, I won't let you get away with it. I'll come back to haunt you even after I'm dead."As she spoke, she cried.Her action made Henry a little confused.He felt like an unforgivable bad guy when he saw how angry and pitiful she looked.Seeing her tears, Henry said, "Alright, forget it if you don't want to. However, since you're the mastermind behind this matter, it's time for you to give up on it now, right?"Since it had not caused him any harm, he had decided not to pursue the matter further if the problem could be resolved easily.Emily saw the chan
"However, she'll be here soon.""Great, I'll wait for her then."Since his mother was fine, Henry felt much relieved. However, he worried if his mother was truly free."Let me confirm again—you no longer require me to marry Chansey, right?" Henry asked again."Yes.""Alright then. I shall leave now."Henry left immediately without saying another word, even though the woman in front of him was so charming. He felt that she might not even resist him violating her.Emily was in a daze. Did he just leave like that?Was she really so unattractive?That was the first time she doubted her own charm.All that time, she felt that as long as she was willing to take the initiative, no man could resist her allure.As she was still deep in thought, her phone rang. It was Anna."Madam Delvey, I'm sorry. It's all my fault," Emily said as she answered the call."It's fine. I've just learned that Henry has absorbed the Nine Forces Vital Energy from Chansey's body. It doesn't matter now whe
Lydia frowned instantly. At that juncture, why had her mother still not realized the truth? If she kept acting in such a manner, even if Henry were to return, there would still be problems eventually.When Jennifer saw the look on her daughter's face, she was anxious and annoyed. "What's that look? Do you want to watch your brother get himself killed?"John said, "Lydia, your brother has always supported you. You must help him.""Yes, Lydia, you must help Mike," William said.Mike opened his mouth slightly. He did not want to cause any trouble for his sister. After so many things had happened, their family's relationship with Henry was utterly broken.However, he did not want to lose Jane.Lydia felt very uncomfortable as she looked at everyone in the family looking at her. She asked, "Why are you so sure I won't help Mike?"John's expression did not look good. Mike said, "Lydia, please don't listen to them. Of course, I believe you. I'll go if it's inconvenient to do so.""You
Lydia blushed slightly. She felt a sense of eagerness as she thought about the night before."Well, you said you wanted it very much, too, didn't you?" Henry said with a sly smile, relieved that his problem had been resolved.Otherwise, he felt that he owed Chansey too much and did not know how to face her in the future."What? How can I be in the mood to think about that?" Lydia thought of what had just happened; she was exhausted."What's wrong? What happened? Was the Shaw family there?" Henry asked. The problems the Miller family faced at that moment could only be related to Mike."No, they didn't come. However, the Shaws and the Scotts agreed that both parties should get engaged tomorrow. They will then find another auspicious day for the official wedding."Mike is really anxious. He wants to go to the Shaw family tomorrow. He said that even if he were to die, he would never let Jane get engaged to the Shaws," Lydia said helplessly.She felt that the two of them were only ge
After hanging up the call, Henry headed to the Ford family to inform Chansey that their trouble had been solved—to put it bluntly, there was no need to sacrifice her.When Chansey heard the news, she felt happy for Henry. As long as Henry was happy, she would be satisfied.However, she felt lost afterward. Earlier, she thought that even though she could not be with Henry in the end, she could at least have a perfect wedding and marry him.Jeffrey was depressed as he smiled bitterly.The overwhelming wealth was destined to have nothing to do with the Ford family.Henry drove back to Paradise One after settling the matter.However, as soon as he arrived at the door, he found two uninvited guests.The fool who had been beaten up by him earlier still did not give up and went to his home. 'Hasn't he realized that he can't defeat me? He shouldn't be so stupid, right?'Maeve was here too. It seemed that she had yet to give up. Although she was a little annoying, she was good to Lydia.
Jacob was stunned for a moment. He replied immediately, "My physical condition has been very good since I was a child, so I don't need extra training.""If I say you need it, it means you need it. Will you go?" Henry asked."I'll go," Jacob replied immediately.How could he not seize such a wonderful opportunity?Henry immediately gave Jensen's phone number and name to Jacob. He then called Jensen and told him about it.Although Jacob could not follow the Master of Golden Liberty around yet, he was already his follower. There would be plenty of great opportunities for him in the future.Jacob was delighted. His face was filled with uncontrollable excitement.When Maeve saw that Henry was so accommodating, she said, "Henry, about Lydia—""I've already told you, don't talk about it anymore."Henry shook his head and said, "It's getting late. I need to rest. If there's nothing else, you guys should leave."Maeve felt helpless. 'What do you mean there's nothing else? Didn't I tel
Jennifer was startled when she heard the voice.She turned around and saw Henry approaching. She panicked and said with embarrassment, "Henry, you're here. I was talking nonsense just now. Please don't take it seriously."Henry laughed. He had been driving another car earlier, which might have been why Jennifer did not notice him.Without further ado, Henry said, "Lydia, Mike, get in the car."Mike and Lydia moved to get in the car immediately."Mike, you drive," Henry said, tossing the car keys to Mike.Mike nodded eagerly and hopped into the driver's seat. He was an enthusiast and confident in his driving skills."Henry's driving skills should be poor compared to him."Jennifer walked over, opened the car door, and prepared to get in. As an elder, she felt that she should accompany them to such an important event.Plus, with Henry's support, she could flaunt their influence. How could she miss it?Henry was confused and asked, "Mrs. Miller, what are you doing?""I... I'll
The Shaw family, though formidable, still lagged significantly behind the four prominent families in Eastonia.Members of the Shaw family, particularly Jack's brother, Malcomn, and his son George were eager to leverage their ties with the Scott family to ascend socially and gain substantial benefits.Only Melrose wore a troubled expression; she knew her daughter liked Mike. She had previously covertly allowed Jane to escape to Hodbridge in pursuit of Mike.Reluctantly, Jack agreed to the arrangement for the sake of the family's interests.Jane kept her head down, typing away on her phone screen, sending numerous messages to Mike.Mike had not responded despite her efforts, and the family discussions were nearing conclusion without his arrival, leaving her increasingly uneasy.Even though she understood Mike's family lacked the power to intervene decisively, how could he not at least attempt to challenge that situation? Perhaps the assurances of his influential brother-in-law were
