Chapter 6

"I hate repeating my orders,'' said Henry. 

The security guards clenched their jaws in frustration. They didn't need to be terrified of Donald since they had George's son at their side.

Henry merely told them to hold down Donald. Even if Henry's order was to beat up Donald, the guards would still willingly do it. After all, Donald was nothing compared to George.

Immediately, two security guards stepped forward and grabbed Donald. With each of them holding one of Donald's arms, they pulled him back.

In frustration, Donald yelled, "Unhand me, you bastards. I will make you pay for touching me." Donald was afraid to upset Henry, so he didn't say anything to him.

However, it didn't mean that the guards could be rude to him.

"How dare you continue to act so haughty even though you've been fired?" Furious, a muscular security guard delivered a strong punch toward Donald's gut.

"Ahhh!" Donald screamed in agony, his lips gaping open in protest. He turned his head to see who had struck him. However, Henry suddenly snatched his hair and shoved the wine glass into his mouth.

Soon enough, his dirty mouth could no longer speak nonsense.

Henry gave the guard a look of admiration.

Then, he turned to Noah and grabbed the bottle of champagne from his grasp.

"Do you know what it is about a bottle of champagne that so many people enjoy?" Henry mockingly asked while he was touching the bottle.

With his mouth gagged by the wine glass, Donald struggled. Unfortunately, he couldn't break free from the hold of the muscular guards.

His anxiety got the better of him, and he was having trouble breathing. Tears started to fall from the corners of his eyes. He was really terrified!

"That's because it has great quality."

Suddenly, Henry smashed the bottle he was holding against Donald's knees.

A loud band echoed. At that moment, Donald's knee cap broke.

On the other hand, the wine bottle was completely unbroken. It was proof that the bottle was of good quality.

Judson was experiencing so much agony.

Cold sweat trickled down his face and spine. Pain and bitterness were the only things on his mind. Because of the wine glass in his mouth, he couldn't yell nor could he breathe smoothly.

Soon enough, his eyes rolled as he lost consciousness.

"Throw him away. We don't need trash like him here."

"Right away, sir!" For a long period, Donald had harassed and threatened the two security guards. As such, in spite of his heinous methods, they were enthralled by Henry.

Several of the employees lifted their heads when they saw the grimace on Donald's face. They believed that what was happening to him was karma. He had been making life tough for them on a daily basis, and now he had insulted a powerful man.

"Henry, spare me, please. I'm only following Donald's orders because he threatened me."

Sofia pretended to be pitiful. "Why don't we start from scratch? Since we started dating three years ago, I've been at your side constantly. You're always in a special place in my heart."

Her charming remarks failed to sway Henry, though. Actually, he was appalled to see her pretend to be the victim.

"You had the chance to be the wife of Anderson Group's future leader."

Sofia drew closer to Henry after realizing that there was still a ray of hope. In fact, she was itching to give herself up to Henry.

However, security came out to halt Sofia as Henry took a step back.

"Unfortunately, you cheated on me. And now, you have lost everything." Henry burst into laughter.

He felt it was only fair to punish Sofia for betraying him. Because of his words, Sofia's heart ached tremendously. Money had blinded her so much that she squandered her bright future.

At that moment, she blamed herself for being impatient.

She was having difficulty breathing, and her breath became short gasps. At that moment, she was so dispirited that she became dizzy and collapsed on the ground.

Henry used to adore her with all of his heart and soul. However, she was nothing to him right now.

After the little incident was resolved, it was time to make some long-term preparations for the hotel's future.

Henry took a few steps forward and approached a slender guy. The man was a lobby manager of the hotel.

"Mr. Anderson, hello' the man greeted, in a low voice. Based on the bruises on his neck, it was clear that he was being bullied on a regular basis.

Henry furrowed his eyebrows. Christopher had taught him a lot so that the hotel would prosper.

The man in front of him was Benjamin Jones, an excellent employee. Unfortunately, Donald had him do things he didn't want to do. As a lobby manager, he only received a small salary, but he was truly in charge of inventory, acquisition, and other duties.

He was compelled to perform several unlawful activities for Donald during this time period. Henry believed he might benefit from Benjamin's abilities.

"Do you have an inventory of the hotel supplies?"

"Yes, sir." Benjamin removed the cap off the pen he had in his pocket and pulled out a little flash drive. "I'm sorry for all l have done. Please forgive me. I'm willing to leave..."

However, before Benjamin finished what he was about to say, Henry interjected with a smile, "That's great to hear. Since the position of vice manager is vacant, you are now promoted."

Because they had all been through so much, Henry felt empathy for Benjamin.

Additionally, Benjamin was shy yet kind to others. As a man of justice, he would not bully those who were weak.

"Mr. Anderson, I am responsible for so many illegal things related to the hotel. I'm fortunate not to have been laid off. However, a promotion is a bit much. There's no way l can accept it." In disbelief, Benjamin's mouth was wide open. For a moment, he even thought it was merely a dream.

"If you make a mistake, you must be held accountable. However, this flash drive is very vital and may make up for any faults you may have made. As vice general manager, you must put out your best effort. Allow me to evaluate your abilities."

Benjamin's cheeks flushed with enthusiasm after he heard Henry's remarks. He had intended to quit, but he was given the unexpected opportunity to become vice general manager. At that moment, he felt very fortunate.

"Well, there will be more reward if you do a good job. Henry's eyes shifted to Noah, the general manager. Then, he added, "Maybe you'll replace him in the future." Noah rubbed his hands together and gave an uneasy grin, not daring to respond.

There was nothing he could do. After all, he wasn't George's son.

"I understand, Mr. Anderson. Thank you so much for this opportunity." Out of excitement, tears of joy were forming at the corners of Benjamin's eyes. "I won't let you down."

After all the hardships he experienced, he never expected that the new president of the hotel would be so smart and influential.

Benjamin was thrilled to get the chance. It was an opportunity for him to begin a new life. On that day, he vowed to dedicate the rest of his life to serving the Anderson Group and Henry.
