Zeke noticed the tension on Henry's face. He smiled with satisfaction; it was only natural for Henry to be surprised, considering that only a handful of people knew about Oliver Wood. And, if Zeke did indeed know Oliver Wood, it meant that Henry James's identity as a descendant of The Great James was now in his hands.‘Who is this Zachariah Hawkins?’ Henry fell silent, lost in the questions flooding his mind."Oliver Wood? Do you know him, honey?" Lily asked, instantly snapping Henry out of his reverie. "Who is Oliver Wood?" Lily asked again.Seeing the furrow on Lily's face, Zeke grinned broadly and replied, "Your husband hasn't told you about him? Well... that's a shame," Zeke said, glancing briefly at Lily's stomach. After that, Zeke left the Private Dining Room.Henry took a deep breath and gently stroked Lily's hair. "I'll find the right time to tell you. For now, the most important thing is to rid ourselves of the potential dinner-ruining parasite," Henry said, nodding in Cather
Seeking the Kaldoria tribe survivors meant embarking on a distant journey towards a secretive island, one whose existence wasn't even marked on the world map. Initially, Henry found such endeavors incredibly daunting. Yet, he couldn't afford to rush into decisions."What if we postpone the search for Kaldoria tribe survivors until after I've secured the position of Eastland's mayor, Oliver?" Henry inquired.After strategizing agendas based on their urgency, Henry deemed it necessary to prioritize Sean Kingston's plan of handing over the mayoral position. If he were to leave after assuming office, he felt more capable of securing Lily's safety. Lily couldn't be demeaned by others, nor would she become a target for nefarious intentions.Upon hearing Henry's proposal, Oliver Wood appeared pensive, as if calculating something. He mentioned a sequence of past years, a deep breath followed."I hope my calculations aren't off, Young Master. It seems there's approximately three months until t
"In the morning, as Lily and Henry were about to leave the Royal Champillon Hotel, they noticed several hotel employees whispering to each other while casting glances in their direction. Lily suspected these employees had been influenced by Catherine and Judith's viral video."It's no wonder they suddenly ended up with a large stake in the Royal Champillon Hotel; turns out, they've been embezzling company funds! I'm sure Emerald Group won't forgive them after this!" whispered one hotel attendant to her colleague.Though spoken in hushed tones, Henry caught wind of their conversation. He turned back and waved to the female employee who had just been gossiping about him and Lily."Did you call me, sir?" asked the hotel attendant, her brow furrowed. From her facial expression, she seemed ready for Henry's reprimand."Yes, I did." Henry nodded. As the woman approached, he inquired, "I just heard you accuse us of embezzling company funds. Even while my wife and I are still here, you dare g
[Henry, despite your disputes with my mother, I want to tell you something. Do you know the wealthy young man from the Neo city named Zeke? Well, thank me for informing you about this secret. Honestly, Zeke once came to our house to ask for something that has been hidden by my mother from you. Do you want to know what it is? Reply to this message promptly if yes!]Henry furrowed his brows as he read the lengthy message from Celine Wilson, Catherine Wilson's biological daughter.At that moment, Henry was in the car with Lily, on their way to drop Lily off at the Emerald Group building. Observing the crease on her husband's forehead, Lily tilted her head towards Henry's face and asked, "What's wrong, Honey?"Henry showed his phone screen to Lily, "Your sister just sent me a message like this, what do you think Zeke might have asked from your mother?"For a moment, Henry and Lily fell silent as they pondered. Several seconds later, Henry swore under his breath, punching the car seat's si
After dropping Lily off at the Emerald Group, Henry asked Jack Robinson to drive him to the outskirts of Eastland, specifically to Medium Café.Throughout the journey to Medium Café, Henry's mind was filled with various speculations, recalling Oliver Wood's words from their previous meeting.Oliver Wood had once shared that on the day he was released from prison, the first thing he did was search for traces of the Kaldoria tribe in history books worldwide.Unfortunately, no history book recorded the existence of the Kaldoria tribe, despite Henry's late father explicitly instructing Oliver Wood to find Kaldorian survivors.The absence of Kaldoria tribe discussions in history books led Oliver Wood to suspect intentional erasure by certain parties. If Oliver Wood's suspicion was correct, it meant there was a significant connection to the Kaldoria tribe that certain individuals wanted to keep hidden from the outside world.Related to this mystery, Henry had previously shared his thoughts
Two hours after Henry received the case files from Sean Kingston, he remained silent in a special room inside the Medium Café with Sean Kingston. After screening the stack of case files on the table, the case predicted to be related to the Hawkins family seemed intriguing to Henry.According to the findings summarized by Sean's subordinates, there was a coal mine in the western region of Eastland city where every month, there were cases of missing and untraceable workers. Interestingly, shortly after the occurrence of these missing worker cases, the valuation of the coal mine business would increase.Initially, Henry thought it might be just a mere coincidence. However, from the hundreds of accumulated cases, all of them showed the same phenomenon. The coal business would reap abundant profits shortly after a worker went missing.Even more interestingly, from the documents provided by Sean, there were suspicions of money laundering in the coal business, ultimately leading the money in
Previously, the people at Central Oasis Galleria had been hoping that Henry James would come after Lily. They couldn't wait to treat Henry the way they treated Lily. In short, they were all eagerly waiting for Henry so that they could immediately humiliate him. However, how surprised they were to find out that at that moment, their guts shrank in front of the person they were about to humiliate."Which one of you has offended my wife?!"The question posed by Henry truly made their hair stand on end. From his tone, everyone now realized that Henry was not someone to be trifled with.With no one answering his question, Henry turned around and glanced at Mayor Sean Kingston."Can I ask for your assistance, Sean?" Henry inquired. Of course, Henry's request seemed highly impolite, considering Sean Kingston's high-ranking position that demanded respect.Nevertheless, they were once again surprised as Mayor Sean appeared submissive and respectful towards Henry James. "I await your command, Y
Henry's footsteps moved backward systematically. His instincts told him it would be better if Lily didn't know that he overheard her conversation with Catherine Wilson.After taking a few steps back, Henry found himself outside the restroom. Intentionally, he called Lily with a slightly raised voice."Are you in there, Lily?" Henry shouted from outside the women's restroom area."Henry!"Lily's joyful scream echoed as she rushed out of the restroom and embraced Henry, who stood in front of her.In that moment, Henry felt the cold sensation of Lily's wet clothes. He lowered his head, gently loosening the hug. Anticipating Henry's action, Lily quickly pulled him into another embrace."Don't look at my face; I look ugly right now. I'm embarrassed to show my ugly face to you," Lily said, pushing her head against Henry's chest playfully."You know I can't believe those words, right, honey?" Henry asked with a somewhat flat tone.Lily nodded, took a deep breath, gripped her husband's clothe
