In a hurry, Henry rushed to Judith's party. Henry was worried about his wife who might be being bullied by many people. However, when he had just arrived at Judith's wedding hall, Henry was met with scorn and contempt from his parents-in-law.
“Wow ... well, it turns out that you brave to come here! Where's your shame?" asked Catherine while sneered at Henry.
“I'm sorry, Mom. I think, I have a right to come here.” Henry answered trying behave friendly up front of the public.
"What exactly does Lily expect from you? You are poor and have no job. You see this man beside me? He is Albert Brown, he has always liked Lily!" said Jacob, Catherine's husband.
Henry looked at Albert, he knew Albert Brown. The man who is almost the same age as Jacob is indeed very rich. However, he already had two wives.
"Would you like to make Lily your third wife?" Henry asked.
“Hey, nothing wrong if he makes Lily become his third wife! The most important thing is that Lily can live properly. Look at you… what can you give to my daughter besides troubles?” asked Catherine.
Henry took a deep breath and let it out slowly. When he decided to come to the party, he was actually ready for all the humiliation he would receive. Because from the start Henry knew that Lily's family never approved of their marriage.
"What can you count on to make Lily happy compared to me?" asked Albert.
“I have a love that is only for Lily. I have commitment and loyalty.” Henry answered firmly and bravely.
But his answer was immediately laughed at by the people there.
"I'll show you what makes Lily happy, what a man should give to the woman he loves,” said Albert.
Albert without further ado called his men and he deliberately pressed the loudspeaker so everyone could hear his conversation.
"Hello, Mr. Albert?" said the person on the phone.
“Send a brand new Aston Martin to the Wilsons. The car must be in the name of Lily Wilson. And I want you sent it right now.” Albert spoke arrogantly.
"Yes, Sir. I will immediately carry out your order.”
Jacob and Catherine who heard that of course felt very happy. They don’t care that Albert was much older than Lily, Jacob and Catherine vowed to force Lily to marry Albert.
“That's just a small gift, Jacob. If you give me your blessing, then I’ll sent another lavish gift for you and Catherine!” said Albert to Jacob.
Jacob tapped Albert in a friendly manner. “Sure ... You are the best man for Lily, Albert!”
On the other hand, Catherine glanced sarcastically at Henry, her son-in-law. “Did you hear what Albert said? He was ready to give anything Lily wanted. And what about you? What can you give to Lily? Love and loyalty? Do you think we can eat love?”
"You better get out of here. Your presence was never wanted by our family!” Jacob blatantly kicks Henry out.
Albert laughed proudly, he felt he had superior to Henry. He knew that at this time he had won one step ahead of Henry. "You should get out of here immediately, poor man!"
From another direction, Lily was walking quickly towards her family who was bullying her husband.
“What mess is this? Mom, what happened? Why Mommy and Daddy wanted to kick Henry out. He is still my legal husband," cried Lily angrily.
"Husband? What kind of husband are you proud of? Poor husband who doesn't have a job?” Catherine asked.
“I will always stand for my husband and never leave him!”
Hearing Lily's words, Jacob glared angrily. "Stupid girl! I tell you that you will be happy if you become Albert's wife. Now, think about your future!” Jacob said emotionally.
At that time, Jacob almost slapped his daughter, but Albert held Jacob's hand. "Calm down, Jacob. Your daughter will melt by my wealth sooner or later,” said Albert, smiling triumphantly.
Lily just shook her head. She was very upset with what her parents had done. However, she couldn't do much about it.
“Lily will not be melted by your wealth, Albert! Stop thinking like that!”
Hearing what Henry say to Albert, Catherine looked furious. With a ferocious face she shouted at Henry. “Just so you know, Henry! All this time you weren't accepted for work because I asked my relations to blacklist you from many companies throughout the Eastland city. I'm also the one who paid the Bizzare Group's HRD to invite you for an interview that ended in humiliation. I did all that because I really, really hate you, Henry!”
Henry was silent, between shocked, anger, sadness, also disappointed.
“Mom! So, it turns out that Mommy has been very sneaky all this time? How dare Mommy! ouch!” Lily felt her chest constrict. Suddenly her stomach felt so sick. Initially, Lily was so shocked when she heard her mother's confession. “Ouch… my stomach!” she screamed.
"Ha ha, it’s just a charade! You want to save your husband, right?” Catherine quipped.
Hearing Catherine's words, Henry's emotions exploded. He wanted to scold his two in-laws. However, seeing Lily wincing in pain, Henry immediately picked up Lily and left the party. He knew Lily wasn't pretending to be sick.
Outside the building, Henry hailed a passing taxi and immediately asked the driver to take them to the hospital. Luckily, the distance from the wedding hall to the hospital was not too far so they arrived at the hospital within 15 minutes.
Henry took Lily to the emergency room. Anxiously, he waited for Lily in front of the emergency room while Lily was being examined by a doctor.
"Don't worry, your wife is being treated by a doctor. While waiting, please complete the administration first," said a nurse.
Henry nodded in agreement and immediately walked to the cashier. However, how surprised he was when he found out how much he had to pay.
"Two thousand dollars? Can't it be paid later after the patient is healthy and allowed to go home?”
The female cashier with thick glasses immediately glared. “You think this hospital belongs to your father? Don't protest too much, just pay your bill now!”
“But, right now I'm not carrying any money. I just ask for leniency, maybe tomorrow, or tonight." said Henry.
"Damn it! if you really can't pay, then, next time don't let your family get sick!”
“Nobody wants to get sick. My wife is suddenly sick, and I really don't have any money with me at the moment, please.”
“No, I will report this to my superiors. I'll make sure your wife gets kicked out of this hospital when they find out you're penniless!” the cashier threatened Henry.
In fact, patients are given leeway to pay fees at the end of the treatment period, however, there are paperwork to be taken care of and the cashier seemed reluctant to deal with the paperwork so she lied to Henry.
At that time, Henry was completely desperate. He felt so much bad luck he experienced today. He wanted to return to answer the cashier, but suddenly his cell phone rang. And how surprised he was when he saw that there were many missed calls coming from the same number.
Out of curiosity, Henry accepted the call.
“Young Master, you finally answered my call!”
Henry frowned for a moment. Young master? Henry heard someone calling him had called him Young Master. "Sorry, did you get the wrong number?" asked Henry felt a bit confused. "No sir, I'm Oliver Wood. I am the butler in the James family. And I have been looking for Young Master. You are the sole heir of the Great James!" replied Oliver Wood on the phone. Oliver Wood then spoke at length, saying that Henry's family was destroyed one night and caused the death of both his parents. Oliver Wood and some other servants of the James family experienced slander from the people who were jealous and wanted the destruction of the James family. But now that Oliver is free, the first task he does is to find Henry James, who is the sole heir of the James family. Henry, who still felt confused, could only remain silent. Even so, Henry's hunch felt that what Oliver Wood had told him was true. There were several points that can convince Henry's mind. But, still the news was too shocking for him. "
When Henry arrived at the cashier, he excitedly said to the cashier. "Excuse me Miss, I want to pay my wife's medical bills," said Henry. The cashier looked up to see who was talking to her. 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
At that time, Henry followed the hospital staff who escorted him to the VIP room where Lily was. Henry requested the most classy room in the hospital, with the best facilities of course. After two years of taking Lily to live in trouble, this time Henry wanted to give the best for his wife. “Sir, this is your wife’s new room. 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." "We felt grateful because you would forgive our cashier's mistake earlier. If there's nothing else I can help with, then I'll say goodbye," said the man while bowing respectfully. For the first time in his life Henry felt respected and being treated well by someone else. He remembered, a moment earlier the nurses and hospital staff bowed to him to pay r
"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. Please just check here if you don't believe it!” Catherine groaned, “Bullshit
Henry saw his wife's face started to stiffen. He reached out his hand to ask for Lily's cell phone. Lily, who understood her husband's intention, immediately gave her cell phone to Henry.“Sorry, Mom if I interrupted. I know if mom and dad don't agreed our wedding. 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. Compared to yourself, you as her husband have never given anything to Lily!” said Catherine curtly."I’ll prove that I can make Lily happy with me, Mom," said Henry."Nope! I just want Albert Brown to be my son-in-law!" cried Catherine then with emotion she also hung up the phone."Mommy is too much," said Lily, sobbing sadly.Henry hugged Lily and tried to calm his wife. “Don't worry, I won't let your family separate us,” said Henry."Ho
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
Henry's arrival was greeted warmly by Jinny Baker in her office. Jinny Baker is a beautiful woman who is very smart. 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. Let's get straight to
Emerald Group just announced that they are opening for proposals a few days ago, usually they will wait for a whole month before proceeding to the next stage because they want to receive as many proposals as possible from the potential clients and choose the best proposal according to them.However, this time they broadcasted back after three days that Emerald Group had closed the submission of cooperation proposals earlier than the specified time because they had found the best candidate to work with.The Emerald Group also said that they would be announcing the results in the next two days, which would also be broadcast live through several channels on television media.

Finally, the wedding day between Daisy Miller and Richard Forger has arrived. If it weren't for the Miller’s Family, maybe the wedding preparations couldn't have been completed in just three days. But, everything can be taken care of with money and connections. And, Miller’s Family have them all. “Daisy! Remember, take good care of your husband. I don't want him to embarrass our whole family. If he does something stupid, you have to bear everything yourself and can't involve all of us!” Sandra messaged Daisy moments before they entered the wedding hall. Daisy nodded and looked at her future husband. “Richard, did you hear that? You have to keep an attitude. This wedding was attended by my grandfather's colleagues. They're all important people and you should behave well." At that time, Richard seemed to show an uneasy attitude. Like there was something he was holding on to. As all eyes were on Richard, Richard finally had no reason not to hide it any longer. Richard took a deep breat
The teleconference with James Miller is over. Apart from deciding to hold a wedding in three days, James Miller also asked Sandra to provide a room for Richard. James Miller said, starting from that day, Richard Forger has become part of the Miller’s family even though the official marriage will only be held in three days. “Daisy! Since he's going to be your husband, you have to take care of him from now on!” Sandra ordered Daisy to take Richard to a room on the second floor of the Millers' house. Daisy nodded languidly while Richard exchanged pleasantries thanking Sandra. When the two of them left, Sandra massaged her forehead many times. “Oh… Daisy has made the Miller’s Family shame for many times because of her failures. Now she's set up with a lousy guy like Richard. Hell, I would be happier if Daisy wasn't my real granddaughter." Hearing her mother complain and grieve, Nancy came and patted Sandra on the shoulder. "Mom, calm down, we still have Bella. Bella will always elevate
Richard Forger gulped, he didn't expect that the young girl who had just let him in was now in trouble because of him. "Miss, I have a card..." Richard intended to answer Bellatrix's accusation against Daisy but Bellatrix immediately pointed her finger right at Richard's forehead. “Damn! Who gave you permission to speak to me? Shit, I'm talking to my stupid cousin!" Bellatrix then turned to point her finger at Daisy who looked down uncomfortable. “Bella, she brought an invitation card from our grandpa. Trust me… We have to welcome him or…” "I do not care! As usual, every decision you make will end in disaster. This time, I warn you again! Get rid of this bum or…” Bellatrix had not yet had time to continue her sentence when from behind, came the voice of a typical old woman's scolding, she was Sandra Miller, a woman in her seventies who is the wife of James Miller. Sandra hates commotion even though at the same time she is someone who often makes noise. “Are you guys trying to kil
At the afternoon, Richard Forger said goodbye to George Warren and assured the old man that he would pay for George's losses. Even though George Warren found it hard to believe Richard's words, he let Richard go. "Um... Before that, can I borrow a few dollars to order a taxi, Mr. George?" Before actually leaving, Richard realized that he had nothing left. He was quite ashamed of the old man but it was only George Warren, a figure in the city of Roxburgh who was willing to help Richard. “Tsk… Take it.” George Warren reluctantly gave Richard a few dollars in his pocket. “Thank you, Mister George. I'll make sure you can keep my promise, I'll pay off the losses you've suffered.” George Warren nodded wearily. Half desperate, he hoped that Richard's promise was not just a bullshit. “Three days from now! I'm sure I'll compensate for your losses. Mister George!” After saying that sentence, Richard Forger immediately ordered a taxi and asked the taxi driver to drive to the northern city o

You can find the novel on my account or through a search using the keyword: Banin SN, or "The Billionaire Husband in Disguise". ---- Chapter 1 Richard Forger was mopping the floor in Luis Jung's room – the CEO of Westfield Corporation. Richard, the new Cleaning Maid, was unfortunately in the wrong place at the wrong time. When he was busy tidying the floor, Luis Jung suddenly spilled his coffee on purpose. After an expression of shock, he bellowed at Richard. "Hey, Servant! Can't you see there's a mess in here?!” Richard Forger wanted to swear, but of course Cleaning Service was not a position where he could swear at a CEO. So, Richard hurriedly walked over to the floor that Luis Jung had spilled coffee on. Obediently, Richard wiped the dirty floor. "Darling, do you wan
The misfortune of Catherine and Jacob also befell Celine Wilson and Judith. The two women are currently being sprayed with water and dragged to the police station because unexpectedly they both confessed to dozens of crimes. The dinner party at Henry's mansion truly became a memorable event because extraordinary things happened there. The journalists went home with joy in their hearts because they had a fantastic amount of news material. As the party came to an end and the guests gradually left, Henry and Lily walked into their mansion for the last time. That night would be their last night sleeping in that luxurious house because the next day, the mansion would belong to Mr. Prince, a wealthy foreigner who won the auction. Despite the fact that the next day they would both fall into poverty, both Henry and Lily couldn't hide the happiness enveloping them. The Magic Power of the Forbidden Codex is fully charged! That means Henry's action of giving away all his wealth was deemed si
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. Deep down, they harbored suspicions that Henry and Lily harbored ulterior motives behind their unconv
Several minutes later, Lysa and Eric emerged from Henry's mansion with complicated expressions on their faces.It was difficult to decipher their expressions, but one thing was certain: both Lysa and Eric didn't believe that Henry would actually go through with it.At the same time, online media was buzzing about Henry James' statement on the talk show hosted by Lysa Nadjrov. The commotion reached international levels, and by now, many influential figures from around the world were planning to attend the dinner party at Henry James' mansion.'My husband has thought this through. And yes, I support his decision.'In the car, Lysa and Eric still remembered Lily's words explaining her agreement with Henry's decision.‘Not that I'm a bad wife for not being able to stop my husband's crazy actions, but, upon reflection, all of my husband's decisions have a strong reason. And, there's no reason for me not to support him.’Once again, Lysa was struck by Lily's words. She couldn't wait for the
