"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
At the same time in another place, Catherine Wilson was sitting on the sofa watching television when her cell phone beeped several times indicating that someone had sent her a message. Lazily, Catherine reached for her phone and opened the message.[Kelly: Hi, Catherine. Oh, what a jerk you are. My son told me that Lily Wilson was in a meeting at the Eemerald Group Mega Project. I missed the big news, that your daughter won that Mega Project. What do you think of me, why don't you invite me to dinner to celebrate Lily's success?]Ding!Catherine frowned again as she felt her cell phone vibrate.Ding!Ding!Ding![Rosmela: Catherine, Kelly just told me that Lily Wilson is now a successful career woman. Emerald Group! Oh, shit, are you trying to hide this good news so we don't charge you for dinner? What a cheapskate you are!][Gloria: Some time ago, I heard that the Emerald Group's Mega Project was won by a young woman named Lily Wilson. Ah, what a fool I was for not guessing that the
When Lily later agreed to Catherine and Jacob's request, Catherine had a big grin on her face. Meanwhile, in the car, Henry was wearing a sardonic smile."Lily, today the Emerald Group disbursed a few percent of the fee for you, it seems that your father and mother have heard the news so they feel the need to look good in front of you."Hearing Henry's words, Lily nodded slowly. "You're right, Honey. I've memorized my mom and dad's attitude, they must be expecting me to give some of my income to them.""And, now that you've given them their share of the money, I'm sure they'll be even greedier and hope for a much bigger share!""Ha ha, Henry, it seems that we both understand their behavior very well, huh. Well, I'll be there tomorrow afternoon then. Do you want to come with me?"Henry seemed to think for a moment and then shook his head. "There are still some things I need to prepare. If you need my help later, just call and I'll be there right away."Lily smiled because she had alrea
Looking back, that person should not have been present there. Henry found it odd to see a high-ranking official standing to welcome him at a small café located on the outskirts of town."Mayor Sean Kingston?!" Henry felt a little confused about Sean Kingston's presence in Medium Café. Henry had come to Medium Café to meet Oliver Wood, but now he was meeting the mayor instead."Young Master, before we met on Paradise Island, I had already guessed that you were Henry James the last descendant of The Great James."At that moment, only Sean Kingston and a girl seemed to welcome Henry. If there was another man standing there, Henry would have guessed that it must be Oliver Wood.With a furrowed brow Henry asked, "Mr. Sean, I honestly can't digest your words. But, for now can anyone tell me where Oliver Wood is?" Henry asked Sean Kingston."Oh, about my father... He was also here waiting for Young Master's arrival. He's in the toilet right now, he'll be here soon."Mayor Sean Kingston's ans
As it turned out, at the back of Medium Café there was a special room that was the headquarters of The Great James family's right-hand men. That night, after finishing their Latte at Medium Café, Oliver Wood and Sean Kingston continued their meeting in the secret room.In the end, Henry spent 2 days and 2 nights at Medium Café to close many things that had to be discussed. Oliver Wood had also given Henry a lot of insight into the past of The Great James family, now, it was time for Henry to return to the hotel with Lily."Young Master, this is a long-term agenda. For now, please live your life as usual. But don't forget, try to have a meeting here at least once a week to discuss the progress of our plan." Oliver Wood gave Henry a message when Henry had been picked up by Jack Robinson."Yes, I understand. See you next week, Oliver. I'm leaving first."The car Jack Robinson was driving sped south, through the congested city streets."Robin, let's pull over. It looks like it's going to
After Amily was kicked out of the Crystal Clear building, there were no other Shop Assistants willing to serve Henry. Of course, all of them couldn't bear the risk of being fired by Judith, the manager's wife.After the shop assistants saw that the reason why Amily was fired was for serving Henry, all of them seemed to be trying their best to stay away from Henry, no matter if Henry's arrival that day was as a customer at Crystal Clear Jewelry."Your presence here was not expected by anyone, Henry James. Do you still want to embarrass yourself even more, huh?" Judith whispered to Henry as she walked away.Henry turned around and touched the shoulder of Judith who was about to leave. Instantly, Judith's hand brushed off Henry's hand that was perched on her shoulder.With a disgusted face Judith snapped, "Don't touch me, your hands carry the smell of poverty and I hate that smell.""Ha ha, Judith, I just want you to relay the message to Roggie that I'm in Crystal Clear Jewelry right now
"Sorry everyone, I came here to buy jewelry. Not to answer unimportant questions like that. So, just mind our own business okay?" Henry shrugged his shoulders and gave a friendly smile to all the customers at Crystal Clear Jewelry.Roggie who saw Henry was about to leave and chose to ignore him, was now starting to look angry. "Hey, I'm not done talking to you, Henry James!""Oh, but I’m done anyway... So, good bye.""Damn it!" Roggie removed his hand from Judith's shoulder and stepped forward after Henry. One of Roggie's hands pulled hard on Henry's shoulder. As soon as Henry's body turned around, Roggie's one hand immediately pointed towards the exit door."Henry James, please exit through that door. Just so you know that Crystal Clear Jewelry has high standards in selecting customers. Look at you, you're way far below our standards!"Roggie folded his arms across his chest as he gave Henry a contemptuous look. If some days before Roggie was embarrassed by Henry at Blue Ocean Restau
