Henry shook his head and said, "Anyway, I'm not taking back my words. Mike, you should accept it. But you must rest well and show me some results after that, alright?""Yes! I will. Thank you, Henry," Mike said.Henry intended to give Mike more exposure and the opportunity to train himself, as the hotel's guests were not ordinary people.Jack finally understood how much Henry cared for Mike. He felt even happier and decided to treat Henry well in the future.He was also satisfied with Mike, even though he was far inferior to Henry. Jack could not help but think how amazing it would be if Henry were his son-in-law instead, but he quickly dismissed the thought, knowing that his daughter had her own path to follow.After their discussion, Henry showed his respect to the Shaws by staying for lunch, and the Shaws treated him with the utmost respect.After everything was settled, they finally left. However, Mike stayed as they had many things to handle. He did not have much to do in Ho
Lydia's cheeks flushed with embarrassment and annoyance after that intense encounter. "Can't you be gentler? You ripped my lingerie.""You didn't say that earlier," Henry teased."Stop it!" Lydia felt even more embarrassed remembering the earlier events."Since we have nothing to do, I'll take you to buy some new ones.""Who wants to go shopping with you?" Lydia retorted, her face turning red. She was too embarrassed to shop for underwear with him."Don't wear any, then. It'd make things more convenient later!" he said jokingly."Get lost." Lydia was both embarrassed and exasperated. Yet, for some reason, she did not mind it.Lydia enjoyed their rare, carefree time together, so they did not rush back to Hodbridge. They spent a night in a hotel and indulged in another round of intimacy.The next morning, they finally drove back to Hodbridge, as Lydia had a lot of work to do at the company.However, just as they hit the road, Lydia received a call from Jennifer."Where are you,
Jess finally revealed everything to them.It was just as Jennifer had expected.As a police officer, Jess was bound by integrity and would not lie about something like that.Most importantly, Jennifer immediately had John reach out to their friends in Aurelia City to investigate further.They discovered that Tim had warned the Trumans, telling them not to take any action against Henry and to let him go just that once.So many people had visited Henry, even treating him like the actual Master of Golden Liberty and showering him with gifts, because they, like others, had been deceived by Henry.They truly believed he was the Master of Golden Liberty because no one knew what the real master looked like.In reality, Henry was just a skilled fighter with no real value beyond that.Emily, who had been secretly monitoring everything, smiled to herself.The Millers were so easily fooled that she barely had to do anything to make them believe Henry was a fraud.It was almost disappoin
Henry was unaware of any of that.He followed Lydia into the Miller Mansion's neighborhood when he heard that Jennifer might be in trouble.Outside the gates, Lydia was very nervous.Although they had reconciled, their relationship was still complicated.Henry had never mentioned wanting to return to the Miller Mansion, but to Lydia's surprise, he drove straight in and even parked in the mansion's parking space.His gesture deeply touched Lydia.If the roles were reversed, she would not have been as generous as Henry was.She took his hand and said softly, "Henry, thank you!"Henry smiled, expressing everything he felt through the simple gesture.Even though the Millers annoyed him, he adored Lydia, not the Millers.As Lydia led Henry inside, she expected the Millers to greet them warmly. After all, reuniting with Henry had been their greatest desire lately, and they would have done anything to have him back, even if it meant abandoning their pride.Lydia was uncomfortable w
"So, Henry, you finally admit it, right? We hate liars like you. What do you think you should do now?" Jennifer said mockingly."Are you going to kick me out again?" Henry asked, a hint of self-deprecation in his voice."Shouldn't we? A fraud like you has no place here. We know you're just hanging around for the Miller family's fortune!" Jennifer scoffed."Mom, you're wrong!" Lydia was desperate, so she started yelling, "Henry has countless assets. He wouldn't care about our small fortune. He even gave Mike a hotel worth hundreds of millions!""Don't be ridiculous! Lydia, you're so naive. Is hundreds of millions a small amount? No one can give away such a large sum just like that!"A few million or even one hundred million might be credible, but hundreds of millions? I've lived long enough to know it's a bluff!""It's true!" Lydia insisted."Maybe when pigs can fly, Lydia! You've been deceived!" Jennifer said, "Henry, get out right now, and we won't hold your past actions agains
After Henry said that, he gave Lydia one last glance and sighed quietly."Lydia, I'm sorry. I'm leaving now."Then, he walked away, unwilling to stay another second in that unbearable place."Henry!" Lydia shouted, panic rising in her voice.She tried to stop things from going south, but it was futile."You're all crazy! You don't even know what you're doing!"She tried to chase after him, but Jennifer stepped in front of her and grabbed her arm."What are you doing? You'd leave your family for a man? Lydia, if you step out of this house today, I'll end my life right here!""Do what you want!" Lydia was furious and tried to break free to follow Henry.She felt that her family had gone too far, and that was not the first time they had acted that way."Fine! You don't care about me anymore, right? I'll kill myself right now!"Jennifer released Lydia and went straight for the fruit knife on the table.She picked it up and held it against her neck."Jennifer!""Calm down, hon
John and Jennifer were on the same page; they thought Henry was simply too fearless.He had just walked out with a grand show of righteousness, yet he quickly sent someone acting as the head of the Truman family.That man might even have a specific request for Henry!If they wanted to be even more absurd, they might as well claim Henry was the Trumans' heir.Robert forced a smile, frustrated that his identity was being questioned.He tried to explain, "I think there might be some misunderstanding here. I'm indeed—""Enough!" Jennifer cut him off and said, "We've already seen through your little act, so stop pretending!"She continued mocking him. "If you weren't so old, I would've chased you out with a broom."Robert's face darkened, barely restraining himself from losing his temper.He had been a key figure in Aurelia City for years; everyone had always treated him with the utmost respect.Even those of the highest ranks had been courteous to him, and he had never felt so hu
Robert's entourage, especially his loyal man, Nightfall, had finally reached his limit.Nightfall could no longer contain his anger.Ignoring Robert's earlier instructions, he unleashed a powerful and intimidating aura, shouting, "How dare you! Sir Truman holds an esteemed position and won't tolerate such disrespect!"Jennifer and the others shuddered, obviously terrified by Nightfall's demeanor.However, Jennifer thought it was just a desperate move, a tactic she was all too familiar with.She thought they were trying to intimidate and regain control after being exposed!"Stop pretending! You're just a bunch of con artists. Are you threatening us? Do you want me to call the police and have you arrested?" Jennifer yelled back.John nodded. "The Millers aren't to be trifled with. I've been tolerant because of your age, but don't push your luck.""Nightfall!" Robert shouted.He could tell that Nightfall was on the verge of losing control and might actually resort to violence.I
