Semua Bab Hidden Monarch: The Silent Resurgence: Bab 281 - Bab 290

"What?" Cecilia and the others were completely taken aback by that statement. Dustin was waiting for them when they arrived.It was an unbelievable turn of events, leaving them completely stunned. Dustin chuckled at their surprised looks. It appeared that Henry had not informed them of his true identity.Cecilia eventually recovered and said, "Please don't mind me asking, Mr. Hopper. Do you know Henry?""Of course, he asked me to take care of all of you," Dustin responded confidently. Dustin saw no reason to keep it hidden because Henry had not asked him to. It might even earn him some respect from Henry.'He really knew Henry!'And it was Henry who had told him to welcome them.'They were shocked and had realized what had happened.At that point, they realized why Dustin was being so polite. Even the secretary was dumbfounded when it was revealed that Henry was the real big shot.Cecilia began to doubt her own ears, but it was undeniable, especially given what Henry had told h

"Henry, I'll ask you one last time—what's going on?" Lydia asked angrily.Henry looked helpless and replied, "Well, he owed me a favor."Lydia understood it better then. Lydia expected it to be about repaying a favor."When did you help him?" she asked."During the incident with the Seltzers. You know I had a disagreement with them. Dustin thought this would help him somehow, so he allowed me to ask him for assistance," Henry said casually."And then you used that chance for this?" Lydia listened, slightly annoyed. It was a massive waste of an opportunity.Dustin was undoubtedly the most sought-after guy then. He was very mysterious, which most people did not understand or could not relate to. It was a massive opportunity.Henry did not appear to see it that way."Yes, why not use it if necessary? Leaving it unused would be a waste, right?"Lydia grinned wryly.She said, 'Well, Henry is just a man from the mountains; his perspective is limited.'"Alright, then. Thank you for

Cecilia could not help but look at Henry, who sat at the back. He was calm, as if nothing bothered him, and showed no signs of nervousness. However, he was also a participant in that bet. That was why Melinda insisted on him being present.Just then, Melinda spoke up."Ms. Miller, Ms. Wood, and all corporate executives, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I believe there's a problem with this data."Everyone was surprised. Lydia's expression darkened. She sensed something was wrong but recovered quickly. She then asked gently, "What's the problem?""Our sales data is incorrect. A 4.5-million-dollar sales figure wasn't entered in time," Melinda said while handing over a new contract.Cecilia's heart sank as she remembered what Henry had said—if they acted too soon, their opponent might plan a counterattack. Henry only agreed to let her go to Skyline Corporation after her insistence.She could not help but glance at Henry again, who appeared calm. However, he must be feeling uncomfortable.

Lydia's eyes brightened, and she quickly asked Henry to hand over the contract.Several senior executives had a quick read-through; it was similar to Melinda's. The main question was whether the money had actually been received.Henry smiled faintly and said, "Regardless, you and Ms. Leon are company elites. Losing either of you would be a tremendous loss for the company.""What are you trying to say?" Melinda asked coldly."Shouldn't we just call it even? Nobody needs to leave, and we can continue to be colleagues who support one another," Henry said with a smile.Everyone was stunned for a moment. Nobody expected Henry to say anything like that.Lydia listened, looked stunned, and discreetly smiled bitterly. Henry must be playing a trick, most likely with a forged contract or one with no actual payment received.Melinda had considered that as well. Her informant in the finance department had been closely monitoring incoming payments for the past two days. Other than the 7.5 mi

Hilda was surprised. She never imagined that the person she had always looked down on, the outsider who appeared to be a waste, possessed such talent.It was truly all on him; she seemed to understand Lydia's arrangement.If Hilda were not mistaken, Lydia probably arranged for Henry to deal with the Whites. Otherwise, the recent series of events could not be explained.Despite her misinterpretation, Lydia simply wanted Henry to gain experience so that he could support himself after the divorce, but Henry did not have that purpose.So it was a lucky guess.However, Marco could not abandon Melinda so easily because she was his absolute confidant; he had to speak up to defend her. Henry noticed his expression and immediately said, "Alright, the outcome is clear. I tried everything possible to get Ms. Thompsan to cancel the bet, but she refused."Furthermore, the management had agreed, insisting that someone leave. It's heartbreaking to lose Ms. Thompson, who's such a talented person
