Chapter 131 The Mistress

Henry hesitated briefly then shared, "Well, you know. Our personalities didn't quite click. With the whole dual degree thing in university, I was pretty swamped. Free time for us was a rare commodity. After diving into work post-graduation, I got caught up and kinda forgot to tune into her feelings. We tried working things out a few times, but in the end, we decided it was best to part ways on good terms."It sounded like an official statement. "Guess it comes with the industry, you know? In the acting world, on-set commitments can stretch for months. This makes it tough for couples, especially if both are hustling. And now, being the CEO at Toussaint, I bet you're swamped too. Any thoughts from Ms. Carrington on that?"Henry grinned. "Oh, she's got her hands full too. We often find ourselves burning the midnight oil together. Strangely enough, it makes our days feel pretty productive.""So those online rumors about Ms. Carrington pulling strings aren't true?"Henry shook his h

Chapter 134 Always Just a Plan B

Henry shifted his gaze toward the individual managing the industrial park. The person responsible straightened up immediately.He said, "I agree with Melvin's approach. We should first manage public perception, handle things behind the scenes, and if needed, consider compensating. Letting this situation spiral out of control would be a serious blow to the company."Henry casually leaned against the couch, tapping his fingers in a steady rhythm on the armrest. "Things are still unfolding, and Mickey's probably got reporters waiting at his doorstep. Settling this privately now might make us look guilty. Plus, we're still waiting on the administrative appeal. Let's give it a little more time."Melvin disagreed with Henry.He argued, "With recent negative publicity and the stock falling continuously, shareholders are growing discontent. Regardless of the outcome of the appeal, showing compassion to the family is a good deed that could salvage the company's reputation.""I recall a

Chapter 135 Ludicrous

When Terra opened the door to the private room and saw only Henry inside, she quickly figured out what had likely happened.After closing the door behind her, she stood by the coffee table, eyeing the now-empty bottles. "Did you have a quarrel with Gabriella?"Henry didn't say a word. He casually poured himself another drink, downing it in a single gulp.Terra noticed he wanted more. She swiftly grabbed the bottle from out of his reach.Henry sat transfixed for a moment, then looked at Terra. He extended his hand."Give me the bottle!""If you called me here to watch you drink, I'm not into that. If you're going to keep at it, I'll leave."Henry's whole body tensed. His hand, which was in mid-air, suddenly lost its strength and landed on his knee with a muted thud. He slumped onto the couch, looking like someone who'd been completely sapped of energy.With half-lowered eyes, he revealed an unreadable expression. The dark circles underneath hinted at recent fatigue."She want

Chapter 136 Shattered

In the dark of the night, a black Porsche Cayenne discreetly drove into the basement carpark of the hotel. It was where the cast of Cloater City stayed.The driver stopped the car. He saw that Henry was resting his eyes in the back seat.He said, "Sir, we're here.""Okay," Henry answered with his eyes still closed. After a while, he still didn't say anything as though he was fast asleep. The smell of alcohol hung thick and heavy in the car. The driver hesitated to continue reminding him to alight from the car.Two minutes later, Henry shifted. His eyes were narrowed, and he patted his clothes haphazardly. After taking out his phone, he tapped on it a few times. The dial tone sounded.The call was answered soon after. A sleepy but excited voice asked, "Ry?""I'm downstairs at the hotel."After Henry had sent over the bodyguards, Hannah realized that if Henry decided he couldn't tolerate her anymore and refused to see her, she would never see him again! This method was useless

Chapter 138 I Used to Trust You So Much

Gabriella stood still. Thinking of the video she saw just now, she asked, "Didn't you go to the hospital? Why didn't you deal with your injuries there?""Who told you that I went to the hospital?""The news said that two victims were sent to the hospital.""I didn't go."Seeing that she wasn't moving, Henry repeated, "Gabby, come and help me."Gabriella noticed the slash wounds on his shoulders and arms. Aside from that, he also had a few bruises that were starting to purple. Her gaze wavered. Although she didn't want to admit it, she couldn't help but feel for him.After staying silent for a while, she steeled her heart. She said, "You should still go to the hospital to treat it, right?" "I'm not going. Many people are in the hospital, and I might run into some reporters." He didn't like to expose his private life.

Annabelle and Mr. Hoffman sat facing each other at a table in a coffee shop not far from the hospital. They ordered a cup of coffee each."So Mr. Hoffman, I'm all ears. What is it?"Mr. Hoffman smiled. "Mr. Henry wanted me to pass a message to you. It's not wrong to have ambition, but one also has to have the abilities. Otherwise, your efforts would be futile."Annabelle's expression froze. "I don't understand. What does Mr. Henry mean by this?""That time Mr. Henry and Ms. Carrington was caught on camera at the theater, it was your doing, wasn't it? Don't be so hasty to deny it. If I'm saying this now, naturally, Mr. Henry has investigated it thoroughly."Annbelle's face paled."You had also contacted Mickey Thompson and Mark Clinton before."Annabelle's breath hitched. "I don't know what you're talking about!" She didn't expect Henry to uncover everything in such a short time.Mr. Hoffman's smile was confident as he said calmly, "The police have caught Mickey, Mark, a

Chapter 140 Paternity Test

"Oh," Juliet replied casually. Connor's secretary walked toward the second floor."What kind of documents?" Juliet asked.Juliet curiously wondered what sort of important documents would Connor send to the house, given his personality and non-existent influence in the company.The secretary paused and hid the document behind him. "It's nothing. They're just normal documents."Juliet glanced at the secretary for a few more seconds before waving him away. The secretary breathed a sigh of relief and placed the documents in the study before leaving.Juliet watched him leave. She couldn't shake the feeling that he was acting suspiciously as though he was hiding something. She picked up a watering can to water the plants in the study and glanced toward the study desk. The document that the secretary brought was not there.That made Juliet even more curious. She placed the watering can aside and searched the whole desk. Finally, she found the documents in an envelope at the bottom l
