Lora declined immediately. Henry had clarified that nothing could happen between them, so she could not accept any benefits from his authority.Lillian prepared herself quickly and arrived at Henry's office following Lora's lead. Lora left after informing Henry about Lilian's arrival.Lilian tried to calm herself by taking a deep breath and stepping inside cautiously. She saw Henry sitting in the office.If it had been the previous day, she would have thought he was a worthless slacker and possibly mocked him. At that moment, he appeared confident, as if he could accomplish anything.Henry looked different."Mr—Mr. Truman!" Lilian bowed politely and respectfully."What's up?" Henry asked indifferently; he was busy with his phone."Yes! I offended you yesterday due to my ignorance. I came to apologize," Lilian said humbly.She had decided to give it her all, whether it was for herself or her family. While she doubted Henry could stand against the Levies, his ability to impress J

She was breathtakingly beautiful. He had often dreamed of having Lydia. Unfortunately, she only discussed business with him, showing no interest in anything beyond that. She never responded despite his willingness to make generous concessions and drop numerous hints.However, he was not worried. As long as they continued to work together, he believed he would eventually win her over, even if he had to resort to underhanded methods.He immediately stood up to greet her, "You're here, Ms. Miller. You look so elegant and graceful every single time I see you. I wonder which lucky man has the chance to be with you."Lydia did not like his tone or how he looked at her, but the deal was almost closed, so she had to be polite. She extended her hand for a quick shake, though her brow furrowed slightly in discomfort.Just then, Henry stepped forward and took the man's hand."Edward Warren?" Henry said lightly.Lydia was surprised and wondered if Henry knew Edward. His possessive move made

Henry laughed, clearly showing his disdain and mocking Edward's threats. That infuriated Edward even more. Edward shouted, "You're asking for it, Henry. This restaurant belongs to my family, and I can cripple you now.""No! You wouldn't dare!" Lydia immediately retorted."I'm warning you, If anything happens to us here, the Millers will never let it go. Try it."The Neptune Group might be powerful, but the Miller Group is not far behind. For Henry's sake, we'll drag the Neptune Group down with us regardless of the costs to the Miller Group." Her tone was resolute and icy, leaving no room for doubt that she meant every word."Let's go, Henry. Ignore him!" Lydia said firmly."If he dares to harm us, the Miller Group will fight him to the end!"Her tone was cold and unwavering. She took Henry's hand and started to walk out. The men blocking the doorway had been intimidated by Lydia's aura and reluctantly stepped aside. Edward's face contorted with rage as they left.He smashed his

Lydia felt slightly disappointed that the deal did not go through, but Henry's words lifted her spirits. As lunchtime approached, they found a restaurant nearby to eat, unaware that Edward had arranged for people to follow them.Edward was known for his vengeful nature, and Lydia's threat earlier had made him furious. As soon as they entered the restaurant, Lydia's beauty caught everyone's attention. She was indeed stunning, far more beautiful than most celebrities. Henry had booked a large private room to avoid the stares.The waiter quickly noticed their extraordinary status, especially given Lydia's elegant demeanor.Their food arrived promptly, but the private room's door burst open just as they started eating.Edward walked in with six men.Lydia's face changed as she asked angrily, "What are you doing, Mr. Warren?""What do you think? Do you think I'll let you go easily?" Edward sneered."Did you forget what I said earlier?" Lydia snapped."Of course not. I doubt you'll b

Edward had not believed in Henry's bold declaration.Even Lydia found it hard to believe. However, knowing Henry's past feats, she held onto a glimmer of hope.As Henry's phone call went through, it was answered by Sebastian.Sebastian had been trying to figure out how to contact Henry since Eric was expected to arrive soon. Though Henry had downplayed the threat, Sebastian knew they needed to prepare.After all, the Levies were a major family from Aurelia, which was relatively stronger than the Yorks. Sebastian believed that Henry had called to discuss dealing with Eric."Mr. Truman!" Sebastian greeted him eagerly."Are you calling about Eric?"Henry frowned."Is he here already?""Not yet, but he'll be here tomorrow," Sebastian replied anxiously."Oh, then why worry about him now?" Henry was indifferent about that issue.With a wry smile, Sebastian asked, "Is there something you need, Mr. Truman?""Nothing big. Are you in charge of the Yorks now?" Henry asked."Absolutel
