Meanwhile at Judith's wedding, Lily Wilson walked slowly into the party room. The luxurious building that Judith's family had rented looked so elegant and beautiful. Lily took a deep breath as if gathering strength and courage to face the people there.

"Hi Lily, how are you? I thought you wouldn't dare come to this party!”

Lily took a deep breath then exhaled slowly and put a sweet smile on her lips before she turned her body. “Hi, Jasmine. I am doing fine. You seem quite healthy and look fresh.”

Jasmine smiled sweetly, she was her sister-in-law. “Of course I'm healthy and fresh. All of that is because I do routine body care,” Jasmine replied in a tone scoffed a little.

Lily could only hold tightness in her chest. She had suspected this before. Since she married Henry, she always became the butt when she met her extended family. “Ah, yes. lately I rarely get treatment because I'm busy," Lily said while sitting on a chair.

Jasmine who took the seat beside Lily squeaked. "Busy or you don’t have money to go to the salon? Ckckck… Don't pretend to be busy to cover up your poverty! Tch, what a pitiful life you have since marrying that man!”

"Jasmine, just so you know I'm happy living with Henry!" denied Lily defensively.

Jasmine raised an eyebrow. "Happy? What kind of happiness? Your marriage used to be celebrated simply. Look at Judith’s fate, look at that, even the dress is worth thousands of dollars. She has a good fortunate to be married to the only son of the Nelson family.”

Lily took a deep breath, she was still trying to keep smiling at Jasmine. “Yes, she is indeed very lucky get a rich man But I'm no less lucky, Henry is a very kind husband.”

Jasmine waved her hand while pouting her lips. "Kind-hearted is not enough, Lily. Can't you see how you look now? See that dress you're wearing! I remember you wearing this dress on my wedding day. This model is very outdated. And look at your skin now, it's so dull. You're so different from the Lily I used to know."

Shortly thereafter, the bride and groom who were on stage cut the wedding cake and it was followed by drinking wine together. Cakes were also distributed. From afar, Judith could be seen walking over to Lily and Jasmine's table. She hugged Jasmine with a growing smile. And when she saw Lily, for a few seconds she looked at Lily up and down as if scanning Lily's appearance that day.

“Lily! Gosh I almost didn't recognize you. You are much different now, has your husband never provided a living? Ah, Henry is a lousy husband!” Judith teased bluntly.

Without hugging Lily, she sat down and joined the table with them.

"I almost didn't recognize you, Lily. It turns out that after getting married you…” Judith hung her sentence. She glanced at Jasmine and both of them smiled mockingly.

"Okay, where's your husband? Why aren't you with him? Are you embarrassed to bring him to this party? In the end you have to admit that he doesn't deserve to be part of the Wilson family, right?" said Judith.

She shook her head. "No, I've never been shy. It's just that today Henry got a job call," Lily said with sparkling eyes.

“Ah, a work call. Where? I doubt any company would hire Henry James!” sneered Jasmine again.

Judith seemed to be holding back her laughter while Lily seemed to be trying to defend her husband. "No, I'm pretty sure Henry will get a job this time."

Someone seemed to walk closer to Lily's table and then said loudly. "Do not dream, Lily! Henry's been rejected by more than fifty companies. Today he would also be rejected!”

Lily looked up, she saw Catherine Wilson looking at her. Catherine then sat down at the table. She is Lily's mother.

"Mom, please," said Lily sadly. She began to feel hopeless.

“What I said is true. Just try to call your husband. I'm sure he got rejection!” said Catherine confidently, as if she really knew what had happened in the Bizzare Group. "What are you waiting for? Call your husband right now!"

Feeling pressured, Lily finally took out her cell phone and called her husband.

“Turn on the loudspeaker,” asked Catherine.

Lily took a deep breath and followed her mother's request. "Hey honey, where are you? Did the interview go well?” asked Lily when the phone connected.

For a moment, there was a sound of deep breathing from the other side. "I am sorry, Honey. I’m failed, it even turned out that they called for an interview just to insult me. I'm sorry I couldn't make you happy."

Jasmine and the others burst out laughing instantly. Meanwhile, Henry who heard the sound of laughter felt shocked. He remembered that today Lily went to Judith's wedding.

“See? It's a waste, you were wrong to marry Henry,” Judith sneered smugly.

Lily quickly turned off her cell phone. She didn't want Henry to hear her cousin's words.

"H-he just hasn't had any luck, Mom," Lily said almost holding back a sad cry. She felt really sad and deppressed.

Meanwhile, Henry, who had heard laughter, was sure that Lily must have been bullied. So, he rushed to Judith's party to pick up Lily.

After knowing that the man who came over was Henry, the cashier only looked at Henry with an unfriendly face. She even deliberately called out to the man standing behind Henry. Henry furrowed his brows when he realized his presence was not being considered. "Hey, Miss... I was the one here first, how come it is this man that you serve first?" The cashier looked at Henry in disdain. “Of course I put him first because that customer definitely has the money to pay. You are just a poor person who wants to ask for a fee waiver. You should be self-aware and willing if I put other customers first!” "How could that be? I have money and I will pay for it,” said Henry. The female cashier scowled. “Sir, don't waste my time! Get out of the way quickly because I don't believe a word you say one bit! Even i

We have also prepared the best facilities and the best medicines for your wife. Every morning the doctor will visit to check your wife's condition. If you need anything, please ring the bell here, then the nurse will come to help you soon," said the man. Henry nodded his head. "Thank you so much for your help."

    "Your mother," Henry answered curtly. Then, he sat down on a chair, right beside Lily's bed. "I'll turn on the loudspeaker," Lily said. Henry nodded his head. “Lily, where are you now? How is your condition? You must be pretending to be sick, right? Are you currently in that slum flat?” asked Catherine when Lily picked up the phone. “Mom, I'm in the hospital now. What makes you call me?” she asked. "Shouldn't I be calling you? I am your mother! Is it not permissible for a mother to call her own biological daughter?” said Catherine with annoyance. Lily took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Always like this. Every time she talked to Catherine, they would fight. “Well, okay. Mommy can call me. So, what's wrong?" said Lily lowering her voice. "What hospital are you at? Surely your husband chose the cheapest room right?” asked Catherine contemptuously. “Mommy is wrong, I am currently in the VIP room.

But, I promised I will making Lily happy,” said Henry.Catherine pouted his lips. "You don't deserve to be Lily's husband at all. Albert, who has not yet become a husband, has given many luxurious gifts. When he becomes Lily's husband, I'm sure Albert will give other, more luxurious gifts.

    Catherine and Jacob gape at Henry's boastful promise. “Are you sure about what you said? You're going to divorce Lily?" asked Catherine to make sure. "Of course, I'm sure of what I'm saying. If I can't get Lily to get a project from the Emerald group, then I will divorce Lily myself," said Henry confidently. Catherine and Jacob looked at each other with smirks plastered on their faces. They were quite happy because in the end Henry himself was willing to divorce Lily. They were sure that Henry would not be able to help Lily win the project. Let alone helping Lily to win a project, he couldn't even get a job, isn't it pretty clear that Henry couldn't possibly have the ability to help Lily? "Fine, then we agree. If you manage to get the project together with Lily then we won't try to separate you two again. However, if you can't get the project... then you should divorce Lily as soon as possible. I no longer want to have a poor useless son-in-law like you,” said Catherine. Henry ju

At her 32 years old age, she has become a professional CEO and has excellent performance. She is also a tenacious hard worker. By wearing a milk brown blazer suit, that day she looked very elegant. "Please have a seat Mr. Henry. Sorry for the impudence of our security. They don't know who you are," said Jinny Baker pleasantly. "No problem Miss Baker. Maybe they saw that I didn't look as neat as Mr. Albert, so they thought I was a bum who was about to ask for a job," said Henry. Jinny Baker smiled, she felt very bad about what happened to Henry earlier. "Again, my apologies. I will immediately give sanctions to the two security guards earlier," said Jinny regretfully. Henry waved his hand. "It's not necessary. They are innocent because this is just a misunderstanding." ‘Oh, what a kind-hearted man!’ Jinny Baker thought in surprised. “Okay sir.

    Henry wrote a few sentences on the brown cowhide-covered book. His smile widened as he reread the sentences he had written."I think this is enough," he said satisfactorily."What did you write? Do you want the Forbidden Codex to eliminate them both tonight?" Lily asked, tilting her neck and glancing at the sentences just written by her husband.Henry chuckled and casually showed the sentences he had written on the Forbidden Codex.Lily frowned, there was nothing terrible written by Henry. On the contrary, Henry seemed to have written a good wish for the entire Wilson family."What’s on your head, Honey? You used your last Magic Power to make that wish, are you sure 'it' will deter them?" Lily asked seriously."Very sure, now, stay here and let's watch the show," Henry said after he put the Forbidden Codex back into his suit.Lily frowned but ultimately chose to follow her husband's advice; she stayed in place while sharpening her ears to hear the conversation between Jacob and Cather

    Yes, Henry would indeed find himself in dire financial straits if he were to stand by his words from some time ago, opting to sell the mansion in Alexandria for charity and giving away his late father's entire inheritance to charitable causes.Wouldn't that be akin to suddenly plunging oneself into poverty overnight?Observing the disbelief etched on the guests' faces, Lily took it upon herself to reinforce Henry's declaration."Ladies and Gentlemen, Henry and I have grown accustomed to living without great wealth. And, to be honest, we're perfectly content with that. We've discovered that our love and loyalty flourish even more in less affluent circumstances. Even if we do aspire to regain wealth, we want it to be earned through our own efforts."Though not entirely convinced by Lily's words, the guests found themselves inclined to offer a standing ovation as a gesture of politeness.
