Chapter 691

Henry was supposed to take over as CEO, but the incident with the Yorks delayed him. He decided to call in and postpone it to the next day. He was not concerned much about the Neptune Group; letting things get chaotic might even help him identify capable individuals to promote later.However, Lydia found out and called him, clearly annoyed. "Henry, what are you doing? Aren't you supposed to start as CEO today?""Something came up. I'll go tomorrow," he replied."What happened? Did someone try to hurt you?" Lydia asked."No, I just helped a friend deal with a big problem and took care of someone you're eager to get rid of," Henry said with a smile."Who's that? You don't mean Eric, do you?" Lydia was startled. She wondered if Henry beat Eric."Yeah, it was him. I slapped him so hard," Henry replied."You always act so recklessly!" Lydia was exasperated."You can't just go around hitting people. It can cause big trouble. Does he know your name?""No, he doesn't.""Good, but be

"So you must know how powerful the Chapman Legacy is. It's just a piece of cake to kill like you," Ted said coldly."You think you're strong? Even Jeffery Ford, the richest man in Hodbridge, is nothing but an ant to me.""And?" Henry was curious why Ted was contacting him."I'm just warning you—Chansey is mine. Stay away from her.""What if I don't?" Henry replied.He finally realized Ted must have found out about Chansey's phone call. It was no wonder she hung up quickly; he was too controlling."Think about your end-of-life wishes then," Ted said and hung up, cursing under his breath.Ted had ordered his men to kill Henry if he contacted Chansey again. He had not acted directly because he did not want to disturb Chansey, whom he still needed.Henry frowned. It was clear Chansey was not living well. However, he had not received any updates from the Golden Liberty Secret Agent he had arranged. As he pondered, his phone rang—it was one of the secret agents."Master!""How was

Chapter 693

When Henry questioned the secret agent, he quickly replied, "Yes, but Ted uses a long-lost domineering ancient technique known as the Tyrant Technique. No woman can cultivate with him."Henry's expression changed. He had heard of it even though he did not know it himself."Isn't he supposed to practice the Chapman Methods?""No, he's not.""Then I understand why he wants to marry Chansey," Henry said coldly.Ted aimed to drain Chansey's life. While Henry's technique could enhance her cultivation and even purify her body, the Tyrant Technique would cause her to age rapidly and die."Why?" the secret agent asked in surprise."Nothing to it. Keep monitoring them closely. I'll handle the rest."Henry hung up. It seemed he needed to visit the Chapman Legacy. However, it was no easy target. Even though he was not afraid of them, causing a big scene would be detrimental to everyone involved. Rumor had it that the Chapman Legacy had a hidden peak-stage Grandmaster with terrifying stren

"It's good to see you, Henry. Come, please take a seat." Sheena invited Henry with an uncontrollable smile, showing how genuinely happy she was.Henry had not only changed her fate; she had grown to like him over the many times they had interacted. His repeated refusal to meet her had made her miss him more.Henry sat next to Sheena, captivated by the faint fragrance around her. After all, Sheena was a stunning beauty, and no man could deny appreciating that."You've been so busy lately," Sheena said with a slight tone of grievance."Well, I've been really busy lately," Henry replied, feeling awkward.He shifted the conversation as he noticed the other two women in the room. One of the women looked like Penny but was much more beautiful and young, while the other appeared more mature, with short hair and a sharp look."They are—" Henry asked.Penny quickly introduced them. "This young lady is my cousin, Chelsea Sawyer. She loves Sheena's songs, so I brought her to lunch with She

Chapter 695

Henry was surprised. He understood why Nickie acted that way, so he chuckled quietly; he did not care about it anyway.Maybe it was because he did not plan to deal with Nickie at all. He was just trying to shift the conversation so Sheena would not look all grumpy.When Sheena heard that, she got even more annoyed.Henry raised his hand to stop her and said, "To be honest, it might be funny for you, but it seems we work for the same company."Everyone was surprised.'Isn't Henry with the Miller Group? How did he get involved with the Neptune Group?' they thought."It turns out you're just another nobody."Why didn't you stand up to greet Chelsea in return just now?" Nickie snorted coldly.Henry felt a little helpless. He did not pay much attention to that and was about to explain.However, Penny said, "Mr.Truman is not a nobody, and that's nothing for Chelsea."Chelsea felt she had embarrassed Nickie, so she quickly said, "It's my bad. Let's not talk about it anymore. I'll fi

Chapter 696

Penny had been with Sheena for many years. She thought Sheena was always quite reserved. Her first requirement for previous filming jobs was no physical contact with male actors. However, it seemed like she was ready to throw herself into Henry immediately.Henry felt nervous, especially when Sheena leaned in and asked intentionally. He hurriedly said, "How can that be?""I wish you were," Sheena pouted."Umm… Forget about that. I'm done eating, and I still have things to do—""No!" Sheena interrupted him."It's rare to meet you. You must spend more time with me today."After days of longing, Sheena decided to stand firm and not let go.Henry was at a loss and said helplessly, "What are you doing? I'm married.""I know. I'm not asking you to take responsibility for anything; I won't mess up your family. Okay?"Powerful men have many women around them, and you're the strongest among them." Sheena implied that she was willing to be Henry's mistress.Henry shook his head and sai

Chapter 697

Henry smiled. He thought Chelsea was a pure and charming girl, and she was even very considerate."Hello, I didn't expect to meet you here, Ms. Sawyer," Henry said."Yeah, I didn't expect it either. But Mr. Truman, are you really an employee of Neptune Group?" Chelsea asked curiously."Of course!" Henry confirmed."I think we'll have many chances to meet in the future, Ms. Sawyer."Chelsea's face turned slightly red and said hurriedly, "That's good. But I've never seen you in the company, though.""We'll have more opportunities to meet in the future. Why are you blushing? You didn't think I was interested in you, did you?"He did not notice how easily she blushed. Unlike Cheryl, Chelsea had a different kind of shy vulnerability that made people want to take care of her."No, no!" Chelsea became even more embarrassed.In fact, she did have that thought. After all, Henry had been looking at her intently, just like other men. The only difference was that she found those other men

Chapter 698

"We'll see!" Howie said while he snapped a photo of Henry with his phone.He then turned to Chelsea and said, "Chelsea, what I told you before still stands. If you don't comply by today, don't blame me for being rude."Then, Howie stormed off. It was easy for Howie to find out who Henry was with his surname and photo.He wanted Henry to pay a hefty price for confronting him.As Howie left, Chelsea grew anxious and said, "Why did you confront him? You won't be able to survive here if you offended him.""Are you worried that I'll drag you into this?" Henry asked."Of course not!" Chelsea denied it immediately."This has nothing to do with me. Furthermore, Mr. Bass wouldn't let me off, even if you're not here."Maybe I can't stay in this company anymore.""Why? Did that old pervert want to take advantage of you?" Henry guessed, judging by Howie's looks and his parting words.Chelsea thought the description was spot-on. She said, "You're right. Mr. Bass is a shameless old pervert

Chapter 699

"Can you tell me more about the rumors in the company?" Henry asked curiously."Why?" Chelsea replied."Just curious!""Maybe later, since I'm leaving the company soon anyway. It's getting late now, so we should hurry up.""Alright!"They needed an access card to get into the building, but Henry did not have one and felt awkward.Chelsea looked at him suspiciously, wondering why he did not have an access card if he was really an employee."I forgot it today," he said, sounding casual."Alright, come with me."Chelsea spoke to the security guard, explaining that he was a client, and they were let in together.The building was quite new, with clean elevators. They quickly reached the 15th floor, where Neptune Group occupied the 15th and 16th floors.Henry continued to follow Chelsea to enter the office as he did not have a keycard.Chelsea did not think much of it. She somehow felt Henry was not a bad person due to his handsome appearance and generosity.As they went further

Chapter 700

Unexpectedly, Henry continued to guide them calmly, leaving the girls feeling enlightened and gaining significant insights.They were getting more excited and realized Henry was a design genius.Chelsea was stunned by Henry's impressive design skills and quickly won everyone over."Which university did you graduate from? Where do you work? You're amazing!" one girl asked."Do you have a girlfriend? If not, what do you think of me? Don't worry, I'll take care of everything.""Me too! I'll handle all the chores and take care of the household. I can even quit my job to support you.""I can give you four kids! Five! Six!"The comments were getting more and more outrageous, making Chelsea blush.The commotion attracted Nickie, who came out and coldly asked, "What are you all doing? Don't you have work to do?"Everyone quickly scattered back to their desks, leaving Henry behind.Meanwhile, Chelsea's palms were sweating. Even though Nickie usually treated her well, she was known to
