Over at the Millers‘ that afternoon. “Emily, are you going to Miss Layren’s birthday party this evening? Can you bring me along?” Solomon asked excitedly when he saw the invitation on the table. She was, after all, the daughter of Robert Layren, the richest man in the country. It would be beneficial to make acquaintances with such a person. “I will be attending the birthday party, but the invitation is limited to two persons only. Lilian has already called dibs on it.” Emily cast a damp over Solomon‘ enthusiasm. “Her?” Displeased, Solomon turned to look at Lilian, his cousin, who was on the couch applying makeup to her face. “Emily, I’m your brother! How could you bring her, your cousin and not me?” He grumbled. At that, Lilian shot him a glare and said condescendingly, “And what can you do there? Everyone attending the party tonight will be people of status and elites. Wouldn’t a high school dropout like you just embarrass yourself showing up there?” “Hey, what’s that suppose

“This is all Emily Millers' fault, Miss Layren. I’ve got nothing to do with it. Will you please let me off?”Lilian was so scared that she broke out in cold sweat. She finally got an idea of what had happened. Jessica and Micheal were obviously a couple. The main problem was that Jessica recognized the pair of earrings. That was no different from her catching Micheal and Emily together. “Shut up! If you do not have a death wish, then do what I tell you to do!” Jessica roared. “You name it, Miss Layren. Whatever you need me to do, I’ll try my best to accomplish it!” Lilian promised wholeheartedly. “Put this into Emily’s bag.” Jessica took a delicate jewelry box and handed it to Lilian. “What do you mean, Miss Layren?” Lilian could not wrap her head around Jessica’s request. “Don’t ask questions! Just do as you’ve been told!” Jessica scolded. “Yes, yes.” Lilian nodded vigorously. She was in no place to refuse. Over at the banquet hall, Emily was puzzled when she saw Lilian pantin

It was not difficult to imagine the pain she had been through before she lost consciousness. “You’re her husband, aren’t you? What have you been up to? How could you let your wife be tortured sol terribly? That’s very irresponsible of you!” The head nurse complained, feeling sorry for Emily. “How is she?” Henry’s brows furrowed. “The patient is not in critical danger currently, but her wounds will take quite a while to heal. Her hands, especially, have multiple comminuted fractures. There is a possibility that they may never fully recover,” The head nurse cautioned him. “Who did this?” Henry’s expression was terrifyingly cold and emotionless. “How would I know? You’re her husband, and you have no idea who did it?” The head nurse scowled.Henry held his silence. Suddenly, his gaze shot over to the door. There was a suspicious person craning by the door in an attempt to peek at them. He dashed over and grabbed the person. “Hey, Henry! What are you doing? Let go of me!” Lilian c

As he spoke, he signaled the two bodyguards behind them. “Colby, Joanna, get rid of that punk! Don’t hold back!” “Yes, Sir!” The two women immediately pulled out their swords. Two days earlier, they weren’t prepared, so they were defeated by Henry. But today, they would not let the same mistake happen again. “Mr. Martin! That bastard’s not an easy target. Aren’t you underestimating him too much by sending the two of them against him?” Jessica was suspicious. “Don’t worry, Ms.Layren. The two of them are very skilled. They were trained by my father. Defeating him is nothing for them!” Paul said confidently. To be honest, both of them were even more skilled than he was. “Alright! Then I’m counting on you to get my revenge!” Jessica said with an evil smirk. “No problem!” As soon as Paul gave a signal, the two women sprung into action, one flanking Henry on the left and the other on the right, both bearing down on him with fierce determination. “Zoom!” As the women closed in on hi

“Sir Mike is the trusty right–hand man of the Layren family. He definitely wouldn’t let him off for beating Ms. Layren into a pulp! “Although he’s quite skilled, he only has two fists! He wouldn’t be able to take on hundreds of men no matter how skilled he is!” The crowd went wild once again as help arrived at the scene. *Sir Mike! You’re just in time! Henry not only caused trouble, but he also beat up Ms. Layren!” Lilian quickly reported the incident to him.“What? He dared to hit Ms. Layren? Which bastard did this? If you have the guts, come forward! Let’s see if I can tear you apart myself!” Mike’s gaze narrowed, his blood boiling with anger. “It was me.” Henry approached him slowly. “You–” Before Mason could strike, his expression changed completely when he saw him. “M–Mr. Brown? It’s you?!” Henry simply uttered a single word, “Scram!” “Yes Sir!” Mike nodded and stepped aside. Once again, the entire room was dead silent. ****The rain was falling even harder. Robert was
