Without hesitation, Dan Brown immediately nodded when Henry seemed to be giving him options. Considering that someone who being able to buy a house in the Alexandria area posed a big threat, Dan Brown did not want to take too many risks. So, when Henry offered an option, the only thing that came to his mind was 'agree'. It was a rare opportunity that might not come around twice. So he would not waste the opportunity."Mr. Henry, if your request is something that is within my control, then I will do it. I assure you I will."Henry smiled, he nodded at Dan Brown's kind response. A moment later, Henry tapped the table with his index finger a few times, as if he was thinking of the first thing he would ask of Dan Brown. Instantly, everyone in the room, especially those who had scoffed at Henry now felt their chests being stabbed with daggers.'If he can pay off the most expensive house in Alexandria, isn't his background horrible?'Offending a man with such a horrible background, isn't th
Dan Brown's words slapped Roggie's face repeatedly. He could only swallow while lamenting the bad luck that would soon come his way, treating dozens of people at the Blue Ocean Restaurant was something that was never in his life plan."Alright, Sir. If you don't have any objections about the bill going up. I will process this order." The waiter nodded with a smile before leaving the room.Within fifteen minutes, several waiters entered with some appetizers in their hands.Before eating, the men in the room thanked Henry and Mr. Brown again, as well as Anthony. If Anthony's clients had not bought the expensive house, they would not be sitting there. One by one, the people in the room seemed to express their gratitude for Henry and Dan Brown.None of them wanted to thank Derry and Roggie, despite the fact that Derry and Roggie were footing the bill for everyone's meals. People were deliberately not being nice to Roggie and Derry because right now, the person they considered the greatest
Henry had just come out of the Blue Ocean Restaurant when a man greeted him at the lobby in a luxury black sedan-type car."Mr. Henry. Please come in."When Henry got in and sat down, the door was closed. The man, who was none other than Jack, immediately got behind the wheel. The car left the lobby of Blue Ocean Restaurant at a moderate speed."Jack, may I know your surname or do you have another name?" Henry asked suddenly.Jack looked at Henry from the center mirror. "Yes, young master. My name is Jack Robinson.""Well, I'm not comfortable calling you Jack for some reason. Can I just call you, ‘Robin’?" asked Henry. There was an unpleasant memory that Henry had experienced with someone named Jack, so, whenever he called that Oliver Wood's men, Henry felt like remembering Jack – someone who made him annoyed for some reason."Robin? I don't mind at all, Young Master."Henry nodded once. He stared out the window, taking in this busy corner of Eastland. "We'll go to the Emerald Group f
Ridgewood AvenueThere was a dead-end alley on Ridgewood Avenue that Lily Wilson will never forget for the rest of her life because it has a story to tell. And, that time Henry took her there, to Ridgewood Avenue, a place where one day many years ago, Lily witnessed a scene that brought tears to her eyes.Several years ago when Henry was only twenty-five years old, he saved a girl who was the daughter of a conglomerate from an accident. Because of that one encounter, the girl fell in love with Henry who she considered to be a mature man with a charming personality. From that day on, the girl continued to pursue Henry and asked him to marry her.As time passed, even though the girl found out one day that Henry was already married, she still maintained her love for him. In fact, one day after she heard that Henry had been evicted from the Wilson family home and was living in poverty in a shabby flat, she went looking for him.The two then met in the alley, on Ridgewood Avenue."Henry, m
Some time later, Lily and Henry entered a simple restaurant. A woman in her fifties with an Asian face welcomed them."Hello, my dear children... it's been a long time since you last came here.""Hi Aunt Miho," Lily greeted Auntie Miho's friendly greeting with a sweet smile. "We've had a lot of work to take care of recently." Lily replied kindly.Aunt Miho frowned and then glanced at Henry. "Wow... does that mean, Henry got a job? I'm happy to hear that, dear."Lily and Henry shook their heads together. "Henry hasn't gotten a job yet, but he got lucky so our current life is much better than before." Lily answered honestly.For a moment, Aunt Miho took a deep breath hearing that Henry was still unemployed. However, remembering that Lily mentioned that they had gotten lucky, Aunt Miho smiled again. "Whatever it is, I'm glad to see you two with such cheerful faces like today." Aunt Miho took out a pot of green tea and two cups and placed them on the table where Henry and Lily were."Aunt
After lunch at Aunt Miho's shop, Henry took Lily for a walk to Ridgewood Park. In the past, when their stomachs were hungry in the afternoon, they would often take a stroll in Ridgewood Park while looking at the street food sellers.Back then, when Lily's savings were low, dinner was an activity that they omitted. Skipping dinner proved easier than skipping breakfast. That's why, when the hunger struck their stomachs, Henry and Lily would sit in Ridgwood's garden, watching the people go by until they were both seized by an irresistible drowsiness. After hunger was drowned out by sleepiness, they would go home and fall asleep without bothering to reduce their meager money."Honey, I brought you here on purpose, so that I would always remember that I was once a useless husband." Henry muttered as soon as he and Lily arrived at Ridgewood Park.At that time, one of Lily's hands grabbed Henry's elbow, holding him close as she rested her head on his shoulder. Lily's eyes were closed as she
"Are you sure she's Mrs. Hudson, Honey?" Lily was shocked after hearing Henry's whisper. In fact, someone named Mrs. Hudson was the one who contributed the most to Lily and Henry's misery when the two had just arrived at the shabby flat in Ridgewood area two years ago.Henry nodded his head. "Yes, she is Mrs. Hudson. Although her face is much worse than the last time we met, I still recognize her, Lily. If you have any doubts, just try to call her name.""Is that so?" Lily's heart raced as she made a move to call out to the old beggar. "Mrs. Hudson...? Is that you?"The old beggar jerked her head back, her hand that had been halfway into the trash can now retracted as her ears heard a familiar voice."Li... Lily Wilson..." The old beggar stammered, not expecting that she would meet Lily Wilson again on such an occasion.The old woman was indeed Mrs. Hudson, just as Henry had expected. At that very moment, Lily was seen grinding her teeth, holding back the anger that had been delayed.
What made Lily's body weak was the news from Mrs. Hudson that she could barely believe. Mrs. Hudson said that two years ago, she was asked by Catherine Wilson to slander Lily so that Lily would be required to pay a substantial fine for the mistake she never done.In fact, it was also Catherine Wilson who created all the scenarios including the plan to hire five fake witnesses to aggravate Lily's sentence."Honey, what's wrong with you?" Henry, who had just finished giving a lesson to Lukas, rushed over to Lily and hugged her limp body.Receiving no answer from Lily, Henry turned to stare at Mrs. Hudson and asked, "What did you just say to my Lily?""Henry..." Lily muttered softly, preceding Mrs. Hudson who was just about to reply. "Please take us both to a cozy and private dining place, I want to talk more with Mrs. Hudson."Henry frowned. From the tone of her voice, he could guess that Lily was currently not harboring much anger towards Mrs. Hudson, which naturally made Henry curious
