Dustin nodded with a gloomy expression.When Melody heard that, her face paled. She said anxiously, "Mr. Truman, didn't you just—""Shut up!"Dustin was furious. He stepped forward and kicked her. She was the woman who got him into trouble.Cheryl was shocked when she saw that. It was obvious she could not stand it. She said, "Henry..."Henry understood what she meant. He was furious and had always felt very guilty toward Cheryl. His original intention in sending her to work at his company was to take care of her, not expecting she would suffer such criticisms.Looking at Cheryl's kind eyes, he turned around and said, "Not too harsh; they're just women after all. Just let them learn the lesson and not repeat it in the future. However, we mustn't keep such people in the company.""Don't worry, Mr. Truman. I'll ensure that. I will also ensure they can't find a job anytime soon," Dustin said coldly.Cheryl was relieved. Although those people had said many unpleasant things to her,
"Promote me?"Mavis was stunned for a moment."That's right. Starting tomorrow, Cheryl will be the department manager, and you'll be her assistant." Ally smiled."Ah..."Mavis was taken aback. She had not expected such good news. However, she thought about Ally's managerial position and asked, "What about you, Ally?"Ally had always been kind to them, and Mavis supported her wholeheartedly."I have my own arrangements. This won't be your only opportunity. If you do well, you'll continue to be promoted along with Cheryl in the future."Ally smiled and said, "As for Cheryl, you can imagine she will have a bright future. So, you must work hard and not miss this opportunity.""This..."Mavis was really confused. Was that even possible? Would she really rise above?That would be the most wonderful thing."Work hard and do well. I may even have to listen to your orders not long after this.""How can this be possible, Ally? You must be joking," Mavis said hurriedly."I'm not kidd
"I'm afraid you can only wear it tomorrow.""Oh, what do you mean?""I need the jade pendant tomorrow. Can you lend it to me?" Henry explained."I see, I was shocked for a moment. Sure, you can take it anytime. It belongs to you; you don't need to borrow it.""That's not right. It's yours now since I've given it to you. This is a unique situation where I need to use the jade pendant," Henry said."Alright."Henry did not want to explain what he needed the jade pendant for, and Cheryl did not ask either. He would tell her if he felt she needed to know.After finishing their meal, Henry took Cheryl shopping. Her hands were full by the time they headed home.They carried everything to the door together.When Maison opened the door and saw Henry, her face lit up with a smile, and she invited him in.After entering, Henry stayed for a long time, repeatedly reminding them to inform him immediately if they faced any trouble. They must not worry about bothering him.Many issues that
The next day, Henry was awakened by his phone ringing at 6:00 a.m. He picked up the phone and said, "Hello!""Henry, what are you doing? Are you still sleeping?"Chansey's urgent voice came from the other side of the call."Yes, I am. What else would I be doing so early in the morning?" Henry was puzzled."You can still sleep?"Don't you know Lydia is leaving with Peter Truman today?" Chansey was worried about Henry.Based on her understanding, Henry had known Lydia since childhood. He had always been thinking about her and loved her deeply. Her father Jeffrey had told her about that."Oh, you’re talking about that? Yes, I know.""You know? If you know, why aren't you worried at all? Is it true that you don't like her anymore? By the way, I heard you're divorced?"Chansey had not known about his divorce earlier. Her first reaction was to remind Henry to think clearly about what he wanted. Although that might make her lose her chance, she would only be truly happy when Henry wa
Maeve was with Lydia at that moment. She could not help but scold Henry countless times in her heart. It was a waste that Lydia trusted him so much. She had told him the truth, but he still did not show up.He was a coward.Lydia's expression was cold and sad. She knew her fate could not be changed. However, no matter what, even if she were to die, she would keep her innocence.She would never let any other man except Henry touch her body.Even if it led to the destruction of the Miller family.She could not care about everything else. The ones to be blamed were her grandfather and parents.Under normal circumstances, if she were to die at the Truman family's hands, there was no reason for Peter to kill her parents."Lydia, are you really going to go with Peter?" Maeve could not stand it."Do I have a choice?" Lydia smiled bitterly. "Maeve, if you can be with Henry, you must—""Lydia, what are you talking about? I will never do that. Maybe Henry will be here soon." Maeve was s
John and the others did not know what Peter was thinking. From Peter's point of view, they were too weak and insignificant.They were not on the same level at all.He could destroy the Miller family in countless ways with just one command if he wanted.After he entered the house and exchanged simple greetings with everyone, they started talking about Lydia.Lydia could no longer stay away. She forced herself to look fresh and alert, then walked out of her room.Maeve followed behind her but did not keep up with her.She really could not stand witnessing the situation.'Henry, what a bastard and a coward you are,' she scolded him harshly.She did not care what Henry thought of her. She secretly called Henry on his phone.Henry had already arrived outside the house. However, he did not enter immediately. He wanted to find out what Peter intended to do.When he received the call, he could not help but answer it immediately, worried that Lydia might be in trouble. However, as soo
John agreed immediately and said, "Lydia, you must be obedient in the future when you are with Mr. Truman. Never do anything you shouldn't do.""Yes, don't be petty and disobey Mr. Truman. Whatever Mr. Truman says, it will be the final decision. Do whatever he asks you to do. Most importantly, listen, observe, and talk less."Jennifer could not stop reminding Lydia. She almost wanted Lydia to recite all the dos and don'ts after her.When Peter heard that, he became even more arrogant. That was the behavior of inferior people from a small town.Being favored by a noble young man like him, just a random word was enough to make them grateful.The more he listened to the two people's compliments, the more he looked down on the Miller family, including Lydia.He thought highly of Lydia when she rejected him several times earlier. Even then, he knew she would eventually turn into his toy.Furthermore, he was confident he had ways to make Lydia surrender to him obediently.Maeve final
Henry Truman woke up early in the morning.He felt a soft touch in his right hand and subconsciously pinched it. The feeling of the touch made him feel satisfied.When he turned, he saw a woman with a beautiful face lying next to him."Ah..."Lydia Miller was startled awake by the pinch and realized she was naked.She screamed and pushed Henry away.She yanked the sheets with one hand while slamming him with a pillow with the other."You jerk! Pervert! What have you done to me?!""Well, it seems like we have done everything.""Do you know no shame?" Lydia was embarrassed and angry."That’s not true. You were the one who took the initiative last night." Henry defended himself."Nonsense! It was—"Lydia wanted to argue, but she couldn't finish her sentence as the previous night's events flashed through her mind.She was drugged while attempting to collect a large amount of debt, and she only managed to escape when she found an opportunity to use the restroom.Henry had just
