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
Roggie's mouth hung open after Mina Newton snapped at him. Truly, dealing with a famous influencer would trigger a major catastrophe. Mina Newton has a fan base of tens of millions. If Mina Newton decided to give Roggie or Crystal Clear Jewelry bad marks, then there was nothing Roggie could do to save the future of his company."Ms. Newton, please forgive my rudeness. I really just wanted to give you some comfort. Really, that man named Henry James has been making a lot of noise everywhere, so please don't misunderstand me," Roggie pleaded again with his head bowed down."Mr. Roggie, as far as I'm concerned, you and your wife the one who started this ruckus. How can you blame this on Mr. Henry?" Mina Newton pointed her index finger at Roggie and Judith in turn. "Remember, I'm still talking to Mr. Henry so don't interrupt us!""Well, we understand, Miss Newton. We apologize. One thing we always want to emphasize is, don't take Henry James' word for it. As for the suit he wore, I am 100
"See, from Miss Newton's expression I think I can guess something!" Judith finally let out a loud squeal, as Mina Newton gave no response to her question."Wow, Mrs. Judith was right! Mina Newton's facial expression says it all."When some people had thought that Henry James was simply lying about the ownership of Madam Larissa's collection, Mina Newton asked everyone to be quiet first."Don't make wild speculations before I confirm something!" Mina Newton's face looked annoyed as she warned Judith and the others."But, doesn't your phone screen show a 'blank' page, Ms. Newton? Doesn't that mean that none of Henry's identities were recorded on Madam Larissa's website?" Judith was still trying to sway public opinion.At that moment, Mina Newton shook her head doubtfully. She seemed to be remembering something. "I think I've encountered a case like this when an influencer tried to make a video reaction about the status of a VIP customer of Madam Larissa."People fell silent trying to di
Judith was most upset when she noticed her husband's face starting to perspire tiny beads of sweat. Roggie's expression resembled that of a prisoner anticipating his imminent execution.Pale. Sweating. Terrified. And desperate."Roggie, where is my strong and confident husband? You can't be taken aback by this kind of deceit! You need to realize that Mina Newton and Henry James are attempting to deceive us both!" Judith snapped at Roggie again, causing him to furrow his brow and swallow repeatedly."Judith! What do you mean?" asked Roggie with bated breath. "Miss Newton has seen for herself that Henry's assets reached over a hundred on Madam Larissa's official website, which means Henry James' wealth is indeed enormous! What if your cousin-in-law is now a wealthy man!" asked Roggie right in his wife's ear.Judith chuckled, her mouth still grinning widely and looking sarcastically at Henry and Mina. Even as others were now showing respect to Henry, Judith seemed to have no aspirations
Roggie struggled to process the words spoken by his boss, Edward. To make matters worse, immediately after uttering that sentence, Edward delivered a powerful slap to Roggie's cheek.He just told me to stop breathing?Isn't that an insinuation that Mr. Edward wanted me to vanish from the world?What kind of fatal mistake did I make that Mr. Edward would even want me to die?At the same time, Judith was shocked beyond belief at Edward's actions. "W... Why did you slap my husband?" asked Judith who was shocked to see her husband being slapped by his own superior in front of everyone. "What kind of mistake would make you slap my husband in public like this?""Yes, Mr. Edward, why did you slap me?"Edward looked angry but also a little confused, he tried to catch his breath before finally returning to swearing at Roggie and Judith."I don't know exactly what you did wrong, but, the largest shareholder of Crystal Clear Jewelry gave me an order to slap you a hundred times for your negligent
Meanwhile elsewhere at the same time, Lily Wilson was at a beauty salon with her mother. That afternoon, Lily who had just returned from the Emerald Group then ordered a Taxi to take her to visit Catherine Wilson's house.When Lily arrived at her mother's house, Catherine immediately took Lily to the beauty salon. And, now both of them were getting various kinds of beauty treatments. After the various treatments were done, Catherine asked the salon attendant to do Lily's makeup."Lily, even though you are blessed with a beautiful face, you still need to take care of your body and do your makeup. You should also make sure that everything on your body is precious and of great value. Wore the lavish dress! That way, other people will be more easily attracted to you."Catherine Wilson felt that she had given Lily some wise words. At the same time, Lily, who was being made up by the makeup artist, seemed to exhale repeatedly, indicating that she did not agree with Catherine Wilson's words.
Lily asked for permission from Catherine to call Henry first. With pleasure, Catherine allowed Lily to find a quiet place if there were any private matters that Lily wanted to convey to Henry.After all, Catherine felt there was nothing to worry about if Lily asked Henry to make preparations before Henry came to the Royal Champillon Hotel. In Catherine's mind, she wondered what preparations could an unemployed husband like Henry James make? And, of course, the answer was, nothing!"Lily, please tell Henry to bring plenty of tissues." Catherine reminded Lily before Lily went to find a quiet place to call her husband."Uh, tissues? What for?""Ha ha, apparently, Henry is going to cry his eyes out tonight. So, it wouldn't hurt if you gave him an insight of what will happen tonight. Also tell him that tonight Mommy has prepared a young, handsome, and wealthy prospective son-in-law. According to Mommy, there is no gap for Henry to win over him or even just keep up with Mommy's chosen candi
