"Henry, get the hell out here right now, you fucking idiot!"Jennifer yelled angrily and quickly went after her daughter. Then John saw Lydia return with a face full of sorrow and pain. He pretended not to know and asked, "What happened, Lydia? What's going on?"Jennifer hurried back and shouted angrily, "That damned Henry! How could he do such a thing to Lydia and with Maeve no less?""What?!" William was shocked and furious. "Are you saying Henry is in there with Maeve?"Jennifer nodded."How dare he do this to my daughter?! I'll kill him!" William was enraged."Enough!" John stopped William. "Calm down. Let's get the facts straight first. Jennifer, are you sure?""Yes!" Jennifer replied angrily. "This wouldn't have happened if she hadn't been here. No wonder Henry got drunk so easily; it was all on purpose.""And what about Maeve?" John asked with concern."I don't know. But she was pinned down by Henry. She's weak. How could she have fought back?"Jennifer fumed. "I've al

In the following time, no one spoke to Henry, except for John, who asked if he had all his documents on him.Henry kept all his important documents with him since he had a unique space that others did not have.Lydia stayed with John and did not say a word to Henry. Jennifer went inside to be with Maeve, who came out shortly after.Maeve glanced at Henry, who happened to look at her. Her expression trembled, but thankfully, Henry did not ask any questions.Even though Jennifer had repeatedly instructed her, Maeve feared she might have revealed the truth if questioned.Maeve walked over to Lydia and called her softly.Lydia glanced at her coldly and did not say a word.Maeve felt guilty and regretful. However, it was too late to back out then. She could not afford to lose all the effort if Lydia refused to marry into the Trumans in Aurelia.About an hour later, several staff members from the Civil Affairs Bureau arrived with the necessary equipment and materials. As they entered

Lydia vented her feelings, from Lewis to Eric and Peter—the threats she faced became increasingly terrifying and dangerous. Things would not have escalated if it had not been for her family, who had pushed her repeatedly.She received a call from Peter that day. He expected to see her in Aurelia within three days, or else he would destroy the Millers.He also said Henry would meet a tragic end.Previously, John had pretended to be Peter to intimidate her, but Lydia had received a genuine threat from Peter.Peter had grown impatient. Initially, he intended to win her over with his charm and power, but he changed his mind after a few calls from John. He threatened her instead so he could have Lydia immediately without marrying her.That was the main reason Lydia rushed back home to discuss things with her family and figure things out.She knew that no matter how powerful and terrifying the opponent was, Henry would never let go, and she needed to find a way to protect him. Otherwis

Mike grabbed Lydia's hand and said, "Don't listen to them. Let's go find Henry!"Jennifer was furious. She could not believe that Mike had also been deceived by Henry. She remembered Mike being fooled last time and humiliated himself by trying to please Henry."Mike, stop right there!" Jennifer shouted angrily.Mike ignored Jennifer's command and insisted on finding Henry. However, Lydia shook her head and said, "We've already divorced. No point in finding him now.""But—" Mike wanted to argue."Enough," Lydia said, then walked straight to her room, leaving everyone behind.She could no longer hold back her tears once she got in her room. All her suppressed pain and despair poured out in that moment.After a while, Lydia sat up and took out the jade pendant she had always treasured. She recalled Little Beggar again. For some reason, whenever she faced difficulties, she would look at the pendant as if it gave her strength and courage.However, the pain and despair were too overw

Henry hung up and said calmly, "Back to Paradise One.""Yes, sir!" Jensen responded and started the car, but he was worried. He had never seen Henry in such a state since he knew the man.Once they were back, Henry tried various methods to recover his condition quickly. However, after two hours of attempts, no progress was made, and it turned even worse.He realized he might need to call the Elder Master of Golden Liberty to see if he had any solutions. The situation was dire, and he needed to regain his strength quickly.Just then, his phone rang. He answered it even though it was an unknown number.It was Maeve calling him to apologize."What is it?" Henry frowned and asked coldly."I'm sorry, today I—""There's no need to talk about it," Henry said."No matter what, I have to apologize. I didn't mean it; I had no choice.""Doesn't matter. You were the one who suffered. That's it. Don't contact me again; I don't want to see you," Henry said and hung up immediately. His good
