"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! Do you think I will just believe you?”
"Did you call just to insult my husband, Mom?” Lily asked.
“Of course not, I just wanted to tell you… that your father and I are preparing divorce papers between you and Henry. Just so you know, Albert just gifted a very luxurious car. He also delivered diamonds for us. We have make a decision, and you must comply with our order. You 're going to marry Albert!”
Lily's emotions immediately rose to a head, immediately she shouted at her mother. "No! Do you think you can sell me to that old fart? Do you realize that his wife has two already? Then, you will sell me to him for treasure? This is too much, Mom!”
“Lily, as long as he can give you a decent life, becoming the third wife is no big deal! What does it mean to be the only wife, but live in poverty? I tell you that I know if all this time you have survived from your jewelery that you sold one by one!” she snapped.
"I will never divorce Henry! Henry will make me happy more than you think.”
“How come? He just doesn't have money and a jobless."
“Yes, it's because Mommy did bad things by blacklisting Henry everywhere. If Mommy hadn't done that, Henry would have been working for a long time and could provide me with a good living. However, this is all because of Mommy too, right? Then I will not marry anyone, because, I'm still Henry's wife, and I will forever be Henry's wife,” Lily said firmly.
"Do you want to be a disobedience daughter?"
The woman was clenching her fists tightly. She was very annoyed with the answer given by Lily. Of course, Catherine really wanted Lily to marry Albert who was rich and ready to give everything for their family.
"I don't care what Mommy says. I don't feel like I'm a rebellious child, because so far I've always respected and valued you as my parents. However, you as parents never respect what is my choice. Don't expect me to sign the divorce papers!”
“Listen! You don't have a choice because Albert has also prepared your wedding party!”
In his seat, Henry took a deep breath holding back the emotions that were about to explode. Henry thought, Albert Brown would pay dearly for disturbing his little family!
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. As a well-known company in Eastland City, Emerald Group is often in the public eye and every activity they do is always covered by the media.Hearing the news, many parties such as entrepreneurs or rich people in Eastland were curious about the figure who managed to get the Emerald Group to approve his proposal quick

'Finally.... Soon you will have to swallow the bitter truth!' Henry thought as the Emerald Group host appeared on the live broadcast.Second by second, every word that came out of the host's mouth made the hearts of everyone in the room skip a beat. Especially after the host read out one by one the names of the candidates who made it into the top ten.The first candidate was Albert Brown, complete with his bio as well as his proposal, making the man put on a big smile and puffed out his chest arrogantly.The second, third and so on candidates were no less great, they were businessmen or prominent people in Eastland City who had abundant wealth. In addition, their experience as well as their careers in their fields had reached decades so their performance and capacity were unquestionable.Now there is one candidate left to be read out, but Lily Wilson's name has not yet been heard out of the host's mouth.This made Albert smile mockingly at Henry. "Henry, didn't you say you would help
"Hurry up and sign the papers, Henry. Do you want to break your promise? Don't be irresponsible!" Jacob snapped loudly at Henry, feeling that he was playing a bet with him."I won't sign the papers. The host made a mistake, I’m sure! Lily should have won this project instead of that bastard!" Henry stubbornly refused to admit his defeat."Daddy and Mommy, please give me one day to settle this matter. There must have been a misunderstanding." Henry asked for an extension and promised to let Lily belong to someone else if he couldn't prove his words this time."No way, you can't break your promise. Didn't you confidently challenge us to a bet before? You should have known the consequences. You really are an untrustworthy man!" Catherine became angry with Henry who seemed to be rambling and delaying the time.Catherine wanted to finalize Henry and Lily's divorce quickly so that she could make Albert her son-in-law. For Catherine, wealth was the only thing that could bring happiness."Hus
Henry stormed out of his in-laws' house with a face full of anger and a heart heavy with the memory of his wife, Lily, humiliating herself to save her pride. He felt like he had failed to protect her. As a husband, Henry desperately wanted to teach a lesson to the people who had caused his wife grief, but he knew that now was not the right time for vengeance. "It can't end like this. They have to pay for what they've done!" he thought to himself. Albert Brown was no random person, and the fact that he had the full support of the Wilson family put Henry at a disadvantage. He took out his cell phone from his pants pocket, wanting to call Oliver Wood to ask what had really happened. ‘There must a serious problem or misunderstanding at Emerald Group!’ said Henry in his heart. Henry should be gloating over Albert's defeat and Lily's family's victory, but what happened was the opposite. Henry and Lily had to bear the shame and humiliation. It was only then that Henry realized there were
