“I received news that the Layrens were going to boycott us, the Millers family! Half of the businesses in East city have us blacklisted and are unwilling to engage with our company!” “What? Boycott us? Solomon, are you joking? How could this be?” Millers was taken aback at the shocking news. She could not believe that was happening. “Why would I joke about this?” Solomon pulled a long face. “Millers Group’s stock prices have been plummeting since this morning. If this continues, we will be bankrupt in three days!” When Solomon announced this, the room erupted into chaos. “How could this happen? Why would Mr. Layren boycott us?” “That’s right, we have nothing against the Layrens. There’s no reason for him to do this!” Everyone was at a loss about this situation. Robert Layren was one of the Mighty Three! With his connections and influence, it would be as easy as pie to destroy the Millers family! “My son, tell me exactly what happened! Did we do anything to offend Mr. Layren?”
“Sir Layren, how is it? What did Mia say?” Jimmy asked out of curiosity. “She told me to get lost!” Robert answered. “What?” Jimmy was speechless at her reply. “This woman must be blindly in love with that punk! What foolishness to forsake such a lucrative deal for a man!” Robert gritted his teeth in anger. “Women tend to be emotional. She will regret it once our pill takes the world by storm!” Jimmy chimed in. Robert didn’t reply, as he had too many things on his mind. These few days, nothing seemed to be going right for him. “Sir Layren, terrible news!” At this moment, a doctor ran into the room hurriedly. “Ms. Layren’s condition has suddenly taken a turn for the worse!” “What do you mean? She’s in danger? How could this have happened? Wasn’t she fine yesterday?” Robert Jumped up from his chair. He grabbed the doctor by the collar and roared. “Ms. Layren is suffering from a strange condition that can’t be cured medically. Y–You would understand once you see it for yoursel
His suggestion was reasonable, but the prospect of giving up the reputation of the Layrens to lower themselves to offer an apology to others was an unbearably uncomfortable thought to him. “Dad, it hurts It’s so painful! Save me! Jessica Layren moaned profusely as she laid in bed. Looking at his daughter’s pain–stricken face, Robert took a deep breath and finally decided to settle on a compromise. He dialed Henry’s number once again and spat into the phone. “I’ll adhere to your terms, kid, but you’d better not play tricks with me!” “The apology has to be sincere. If you insist on acting like this, then we have nothing else to talk about,” Henry said indifferently. “How dare you-“Robert stopped as the corner of his eye began to twitch. “Fine, you win! I’ll send someone over today at noon to give an apology in person!” He roared while forcefully holding back his anger. “I’ll be waiting.” Henry replied. During noontime, inside a VIP ward in East city Hospital, Emily had woken up
They thought it was already bad that the whole family got banned, but they never expected the Layrens to be this cruel.They were already knocking at their doors. Were they trying to drive them into a corner? “It’s over, it’s over! We’re dead meat this time!” “How could this happen? Why can’t the Layrens give us a break for once?” The crowd panicked and started jumping to their feet anxiously. “It’s all because of that damn bastard! It’s all his fault!” “That’s right! The Layrens must have come for Henry, so let’s hand him over and we’ll be all right!” Everyone in the crowd immediately turned their gazes to Henry, causing a million laser–like glares to land on him at the same time. In their opinion, if they could sacrifice Henry to save themselves, that would be the best course of action. Just as the crowd was still in an uproar, a group of people from the Layren family started boldly entering the venue. The leader of the procession was Jessica, who was sitting in a wheelchai
“Our sincere apologies, Ms. Millers!” The representatives from the Layren family shouted. All of them kneeled in unison afterward, without much thought for their reputation. Such a turn of events dumbfounded the Millers yet again. So, it was true! The Layrens were apologizing to them! But the question now was, why? “W–why are you all? What is going on, Mr. Jimmy?” Emily stuttered while lying on her hospital bed. She was so antsy about the situation that she immediately got out of bed. Weren’t they here for revenge? Why were they kneeling toward her? “The Layrens aren’t unreasonable people. We admit our mistakes when we’ve done wrong, so we hope that you can forgive us for our trespasses, Ms. Millers, Jimmy replied with his head lowered. “What are you talking about, Mr. Jimmy? Please get up quickly! I’m afraid there has been a misunderstanding. We’d already be glad if the matter was dropped entirely. What other reason do we have to accuse the Layren family of?” Mrs Millers apolo
When Jessica and her entourage left the scene, the Millers still felt like they were in a daze. They were still reeling at the fact that the high and mighty young lady of the Layren family had not only pardoned their wrongdoings but was also the first to humble herself and apologize to them in person after getting her ass whooped. It was truly unfathomable! “What’s wrong with the Layrens today? Who knew that they could even be this humble?” “I know, right? If I hadn’t pinched mysell, I would have thought I was dreaming!” “Could it be that Ms. Layren genuinely realized her mistakes, and that’s why she came over to apologize in person?” “Nonsense! You overestimate how righteous the Layren family can be!” The Millers erupted into a flurry of discussion, and it seemed like it wasn’t about to die down soon. “This can’t be Henry’s doing, right?” Lilian asked herself with a suspicious look; she felt uneasy on the inside. Ever since last night’s beating session, Henry had displayed a
“Is it so hard for you just to thank someone, Henry? If it weren’t for Michael, you might have been killed by now!” Emily suddenly piped up. To her, Henry was still being ignorant until the bitter end. Compared to Michael saving his life, what was a mere thank you? “I would have if he had actually helped me. But he didn’t. In fact, not only did he not help me, he was the one who started this whole fiasco in the first place!” Henry replied flatly. “What do you mean?” Emily frowned. “I ran a background check and found out that Michael and Jessica are lovers. Jessica deliberately targeted you out of jealousy, thinking that you and he had some hanky panky going on behind the scenes. So, that was what led to the assault! In a nutshell, he’s the true culprit all along!” Henry declared firmly. “Bullshit! Henry! Not to insult you or anything, but Michael is an upright guy. He’s not as bad as you say he is!” Mrs Millers cursed and jumped to her feet without waiting for Michael to respond.
“You want me to apologize to you? What makes you think that you’re worthy of it?” Henry sneered. “You’re not allowed to leave if you don’t apologize to me today!” Micheal growled as he used his body to block the doorway, his gaze menacing. He had practiced martial arts for a few years, so he thought it would be a breeze to put an average man like him in his place. “Is that so? Then, I’d like to see if you can actually block my path. Henry snorted coldly before pushing past Micheal and walking out of the door. “Thinking of leaving? I’d like to see you try!” Micheal shouted in rage as he grabbed Henry’s shoulder with one hand and shoved him hard. He thought that he could teach him a lesson by doing that. “You dare lay a finger on me?” Henry said coldly as he turned around. He then proceeded to give Mall a heavy slap on his face, the sheer force of which sent Mali llying into the air. Two teeth could even be seen flying out of his mouth. “Y–you actually dare to hit someone at t
