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
The person who had saved the Millers and coerced the Layrens to give a public apology was Henry? The trash that they’d scoffed at and despised? H–how was this possible! “Y–you’ve got to be joking, right, Mr. Jimmy? Are you telling us that Henry was the one who saved us?” Mrs Millers asked with widened eyes, she found this fact difficult to accept. “Who else do you think it was?” Mr. Jimmy asked seriously. “No, that’s impossible! Wasn’t Micheal the one who helped us? How was it that trash Henry instead?” Solomon shouted in alarm and shook his head so vigorously it looked like a rattling drum. “Micheal Clark? He’s nothing more than a washed–up member of some family, so how capable can the man be? Obviously, not enough for the Layrens to lower their heads.” Mr. Jimmy scoffed before shooting Micheal with a look of disdain. Hearing that, every head in the crowd turned to look at Micheal simultaneously. For a moment, Micheal’s cheeks turned bright red, and the atmosphere became extrem
“Honey, even if we’ve misunderstood Henry, so what? The Matter still stands that he’s the one who’s at fault here. He was just making up for his mistakes. We don’t owe him anything!” Mrs Millers continued. “I’m tired, Mom. I just want to rest now. Please go outside,” Emily requested again. “But honey…” Mrs Millers whined. “Just leave me alone!” Emily yelled sternly. Seeing the scowl on her face, Mrs Millers said nothing more and proceeded to usher everyone out of the room. “Who would’ve thought that the biggest contributor to the Matter would be Henry, while the person who surprised us the most was Mr. Clark.” "Fucking bigshots! To think we let him scare us like that. It’s already a good thing that we didn’t disturb him for anything!”“And as for Micheal. I suspect that he’s so blinded by love for Emily that, to win her over, he resorted to trickery and lies,” Mrs Millers explained. “If you ask me, a man like this who risked his life for love and even put his reputation on the
