Josephine waved her hand and grinned when she heard this. "It's fine, it's fine," she said. "I also wish to work out more."Henry sighed. He was aware, of course, that Josephine was simply making things up.She believed that throughout this time, she had caused Henry too much difficulty. After being released from the hospital, she didn't want to bother Henry any more, so she came out to put up a stand and earn some cash.Henry shook his head at this idea and said, "But Mom, consider it. You will lose more than you gain if you pass out from overwork and wind up in the hospital once more."Josephine nodded and smiled at that very moment. "I'm aware. Don't bother about me."Josephine noticed the stunning Emily standing next to Henry when she had finished speaking.Josephine's eyes brightened once she spotted Emily, and she hurried over."Miss Emily, what brings you here? This place doesn't have a vibe that warrants your rank. Come have a seat and relax for a little. While you're doing i
"You damned piece of trash! How dare you go against the Morris Group and not pay the protection fee?! You didn't want to hand it over just now, right? Now that the wallet is in my hands, don't even think about taking a single cent back!"Jacob picked up his wallet and spat at the stall owner.Ignoring the stall owner's cries, he quickly caught up with Peter's footsteps.This group of people moved very quickly. In just a few minutes, they appeared in front of the stall selling food items.Looking at the people lining up in front of the stall, a touch of greed flashed through Peter's eyes.Before he could speak, Josephine had already walked up to him and handed him a hundred dollars with a fawning expression."Hello, Mr. Peter. This is my protection fee. I've already prepared it."Upon hearing this, Peter shook his head.Then, he slowly spoke under Josephine's confused gaze."Your business is so good here, how can a protection fee of a hundred dollars be enough? You need to pay double
After hearing this, Peter's expression changed drastically.The expression on his face was extremely flustered. After shaking his head repeatedly, he could not say a word.The bank card belonged to Alex Morris, and this fact rendered him speechless.The crowd of onlookers were also shocked when they heard Henry's words."Wow, this gentleman is actually so rich? To think that he could casually give us such a large sum of money.""That's right. It's the first time I've seen such a generous person.""It's unbelievable. He doesn't look like he's that rich. How could he have taken out so much money?"The surrounding crowd continued to talk. When Jacob heard these words, he was also surprised.He looked at Henry in surprise and could not help but shake his head.As Henry's cousin, he was well aware of Henry's family's previous situation.Their family was not very rich to begin with, and could even be considered poor.However, Jacob's gaze turned to Henry.He wondered what Henry had gone thr
Jacob, who was standing at the side, was a little dumbfounded when he saw Peter's expression.He had never thought that things would develop in this direction.His boss, Peter Rick, whom he usually had to treat ease with respect, was actually bowing and scraping to his cousin, Henry, whom he looked down on.This scene left Jacob deeply uneasy.No matter what, this should not have happened, right? That was his boss, Peter Rick! The other guy was his trashy cousin, Henry!Based on the difference between them, Henry should be the one bowing to Peter, right?Why was it that... Peter was the one bowing to Henry?In his confusion, Jacob couldn't help but ask Peter,"What's going on? Why are you bowing and apologizing to a piece of trash? Henry is a complete piece of trash. It's a disgrace to your status to apologize to him!"Seeing that Peter was still bowing to Henry, Jacob walked towards them and tried to dissuade Peter. He stopped Peter the moment he wanted to take another bow."You don't
"I'm sorry, Mr. Brown!"As Peter spoke, he knelt down in front of Henry.The underlings behind him looked a little hesitant after seeing this. Peter has just bowed to Henry and now he's kneeling before him?However, they quickly followed Peter and knelt down before Henry.They felt that since their boss had already knelt down before Henry, they would not be able to stop him.If they didn't kneel, wouldn't they be embarrassing their boss?As for Jacob, he was originally a little reluctant.However, after hearing Peter's words, his fear for Henry grew in his heart.When he saw Peter leading the way, he knelt down in front of Henry."I'm sorry, Mr. Brown!"Peter spoke first, followed by the loud voices of the other underlings."I'm sorry, Mr. Brown!""I'm sorry, Mr. Brown!"Looking at the sincere apologies of the people in front of him, Henry only nodded slightly.He could tell from Peter's reaction that he must have already known his identity.Under such circumstances, he didn't need to
Emily's phone rang as soon as they arrived outside the house.Emily was slightly stunned. She picked up the phone, and Henry saw from the corner of his eye that the person who called was his mother-in-law, Mrs. Millers."Hey, what's wrong? Mom?" Henry froze in his track the moment Emily's voice sounded a bit worried. What do they want to discuss over the phone? Henry thought. Maybe it was best if he stayed behind to listen to whatever they intended to say.Emily asked after picking up the phone.Then, as if she had thought of something, she turned on the speaker.Then, Henry heard Mrs. Millers voice from the phone."Oh, Emily, where are you now?"When Emily heard this, she first looked at Henry, who was next to her, and then said, "I'm at the entrance of our house right now. What's the problem?"Mrs. Millers seemed to be in a good mood. She didn't ask where Emily had gone. Instead, she continued, "It's like this. Your sister husband, Robert has been working very hard recently, and jus
Emily's eyes lit up when she saw them and she said to Henry, "These are Robert's parents, Elijah and Ruth."As she spoke, Emily held Henry's arm and walked up to them."Hello, you two. It's been a long time since we last met."This time, Elijah and Ruth weren't as cold as the previous two.After greeting Emily with a smile, they turned to look at Henry."Hmm… Emily, is this your husband, Henry?"Emily nodded.Ruth shook her head in pity after seeing this."Oh, what a pity. There are so many young, talented and ambitious men nowadays, and you're actually married to such a person. It's really a pity. "Elijah nodded in agreement. "It's quite a shameful thing, Emily. You shouldn't have settled for such a hopeless individual in the first place. There are many handsome and rich people who you should have married. People that matched your status."Ruth also smiled in support of what Elijah had said."Logically speaking, Robert should be marrying someone like you. But it's a pity that you've
"But seeing Robert's good results, I thought of something else."He had Henry in his sights, and there was something thought-provoking about the expression on his face."Why is Mr. Brown merely a filthy son-in-law, given that he is the Millers' son-in-law? Emily is the perfection of a woman in every way. How could Henry possibly deserve her? What a piece of garbage he is! This individual really had the audacity to stand close to Emily. How absurd!"Although he spoke with a lot of uncertainty, it was clear to everybody that he was not truly puzzled. He was just making the most vile fun of Henry.Everyone in the hall erupted into laughter at his comments, casting sarcastic glances at Henry."You're correct. He is a good-for-nothing who has no right to marry. He ought to live a life of pointless begging!""Yes, I have also heard that he has been supporting himself off the Miller family for the past few years with a lady. He's not even employed! He truly is a piece of garbage.""It's reall
