After a long while of working and drafting ideas, Henry decided to stand up from his seat and go out for a stretch.Coincidentally, Irene was also coming out to submit some work to the Vice President. So, they met on the way. As Irene see Henry, she was slightly taken aback. but then, she remembered he was also working in the company. Irene was still furious about the other day. She couldn't believe he suspected her of something like that. What would even be her motive? She suppressed a sigh and shifted her gaze away. Steadying her gaze, she adjusted her suit."Good day," she mumbled briskly before shifting her focus ahead to start walking away.Henry heard her and knew she was probably still furious. Incidents from the other day replayed in his head. In a moment, he gently took hold of her wrists.Irene halted when she felt his hand in hers. She squeezed her eyes shut, inhaling deeply, and tightened her fists. After a moment, she released her breath and slowly unfolded her fingers,
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 62. Pride of a Rich Man
"Hope your sick ex-boyfriend isn't bothering you again?" Henry inquired, concern filled in his voice. His brows furrowed, searching for any sign of distress on her face. He genuinely cared for her well-being, especially at the thought of her being troubled by her ex-boyfriend. She shook her head, a flicker of frustration crossing her features. "I have no idea what he's up to now," she replied, as they stepped out of the car. A soft sigh escaped Henry's lips after hearing her. After locking his vehicle, his gaze wandered, scanning the surroundings absentmindedly, until it fell upon a familiar car parked just a few spaces away from his own.His brows creased as he gazed away, trying to recall where he had seen it before. After a while, he ignored it and proceeded into the restaurant, quickening his pace, leaving Irene behind.Once they were both seated, Henry's eyes glanced around, searching for a waitress to come take their order.He noticed the waitress and raised his hands to call h

Henry launched into a detailed explanation as she listened. "I need your help for marketing ideas, which will be incorporated into the proposal...."After listening for a while, she nodded, "Introducing cars into that country is an interesting challenge. Well, since Deep Island values and prefers to save energy, it would be better to introduce all-terrain EVs (Electric Vehicles) in the country. It would fit in the idea of being environmental friendly.""True, being eco-friendly is a big selling point there," Henry replied with a nod, tapping his finger lightly against the documents. "How about the climate? What changes are we to make to the cars?" She asked further, furrowing her brow as her eyes scanned the document she held.Henry gestured towards the papers. "Well, as it written there, everything about the cars will have a sturdy structure to withstand the cold climate and sloppy roads. The tyres will also be designed to adapt to the various road conditions.""Okay, I think we ne
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 64. Krug champagne
Looking at Henry, Irene decided to test the waters. "He is wearing a wristwatch worth a million dollars, okay? So don't just frown your face," Irene remarked. She clicked her tongue and couldn't help but break into a playful chuckle."Are you mocking me?" Henry asked with a straight face, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth."No, Henry, I'm not mocking you," Irene replied, her laughter bubbling up. "You just have the pride of a wealthy man, even though you're not one. But hey, I must admit, you have good connections, and I admire that," she explained, chuckling. She averted her gaze away, before quickly focusing on him again, searching his face for any unusual expression.Pride of a rich man? Why not? Henry thought to himself. He couldn't help but find Irene's teasing a bit amusing. After all, he was wealthy beyond imagination. The combined net worth of all the rich men in the restaurant couldn't even come close to his own fortune. It was so funny for Irene to think other

Henry's fists involuntarily clenched."Return the bottle of water and bring me the champagne," he commanded firmly."It costs fifty thousand dollars, Mr. Whatever-Your-Name-Is!" she yelled, her voice ringing out loudly, though it failed to attract the attention of those around them."So?" he arched a brow.Taken aback by his response, the waitress and Irene looked at him in surprise. She gently placed her hands on his, shaking her head."Let it be, Henry," Irene calmly said. He rolled his eyes in frustration. "Just leave," he dismissed the waitress with a curt command."Chill, it's not my fault that you're so wretched. Heaven knows I saved your ass, poor thing!" she retorted with a scoff before turning away and walking off. Henry tried to suppress his anger, but deep inside of him he wasn't going to let that slide at all.He took one bite of his meal as he then felt so uncomfortable suddenly, he couldn't understand what was going on with him, then heard a familiar voice piercing throu
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 66: I pity your woman
As Irene looked visibly surprised by Clara's words, Henry couldn't help but feel a pang of embarrassment. A flush creeped up his neck and inside, his mind whirled with embarrassment and anger.He became aware that the wealthy customers dining around them had overheard all the insults hurled at him. Although they laughed briefly, they soon returned to their own conversations, focusing on their meals. However, Henry caught snippets of their whispered remarks about him.Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the two wealthy businessmen watching with poorly concealed amusement."Then what the fuck is he doing in this expensive restaurant?" one said with a sneer. "Just to impress his girl?" He took a sip of his exorbitantly expensive red wine, which cost around five hundred thousand dollars.His companion laughed uproariously. "Didn't you see their meal? Even my dog's dinner is more expensive than theirs. What a cheap man!" The other chimed in, and they burst into a round of laughter.He
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 67. Forgot his phone
"Ha!" She exclaimed, feeling that the whole situation was ridiculous. How dare this man dressed like an outcast request to see the owner of the restaurant??She gazed at him from head to toe and chuckled. "Firstly, the manager is not around. Then secondly you will have to fix an appointment with him before you see him. and I think that's the common rule of all businesses,.. Oh, I forgot, someone from the countryside would probably not understand this. Tch," she said and rolled her eyes.Flicking her hair in his face, she walked away from him. Henry sighed and began walking to Irene's side."Let's leave," he grumbled as she stood up and followed him out of the Restaurant, but before he left he sighted the men who spoke ill about him and smirked as they shook their heads at Henry."Sad little boy," one of them said.Henry got into his car with Irene and zoomed off. The car was silent for some minutes then Irene broke the silence."So when should I submit my part of the project?" She aske

The security guard, his uniform crisp and badge gleaming, was walking away from the gate. He mistakenly collided with Henry, jostling him off balance. Henry winced, a faint grimace etching across his face. "Oh, sorry, young man," the security guard's pupils lifted in concern as he helped Henry up.Henry dismissed the pain with a subtle shake of his head, covering his discomfort."Never mind," Henry waved his hands. "Uhm, excuse me, I realized I left my phone behind when I entered the premises. Is there any chance I could see my phone and take it back?" Henry's heart was beating really fast, and he could hear it pounding in his ears. He felt a strong rush of anxiety, like a tight grip on him, because he was afraid he might lose the phone.The security guard's gaze dropped, momentarily scanning Henry's overall look from head to toe. "You came in here for a meal?" The question caught Henry off guard, confusion clouding his features, but he answered with a response."Yes sir, I did bu

Henry also once felt that Caeser was the boss but then again, Simon mentioned the fact that his boss was after Caesar and he also met him when he then confirmed that he was sent a life threatening letter for stopping the weapons from entering inside Green Hill city. He scoffed. "I'm definitely sure that he isn't, Caeser is just Stella's friend who wants nothing than the power of White Group to win the next election coming up" The guard nods his head as Henry picked up his phone and dialed Irene's number and That time she picked the call. "Hey Henry, lots of things happened but I'm fine" Henry was confused as concern filled up on his face, he was already reaching his room as he opened the door awaiting her response. "The manager, I think your friend was questioning me about you, not that I'm annoyed though but I think he sounded a little mean" "Just tell what did he say to you" "He asked whether I like you or something then he was like you are meant for someone, then some

"Look, even at that you don't have to fight for it, I'm a man and I know that for sure that Henry will fight for Irene if I'm not lying she is in love with him right?" Quo asked as she doesn't even respond to him she felt it was a waste of time talking to him, she just want someone to understand her and support her with everything. "I know the answer to that already but why don't you just go rest?" She immediately grabbed him by the collar as she was just an inch closer to him feeling his breathe. "Just because we fucked doesn't mean you have the right to question me, it was a huge mistake from my side and also I think I would block your fucking number..." Before she could finish what she was saying he kissed her lips. "It was fun right?" He asked as she immediately removed her hands from his collar the cringed really hard that she felt like taking a knife and slit her throat. Immediately she left Henry's house that day, she got a call from Quo to come meet her if she h

193. The guesthouse
"I know"Henry muttered but Victor and Samson just realized it.How are they going to share the room, because there was no way one of the them would sleep on the couch, but Henry already solved this issue so he wasn't worried about it."Just continue showing us around please" The man nods his head, what was on his mind was that he would sent some boys to bring in atleast a two bed bunk so that the last two persons can sleep on them,but since Henry didn't bother he refused to bring that up again, he was just focusing on showing them each of the rooms.Henry smiled because the room was big enough and has a comfy bed, it's soft and was really a cool one, all the rooms were cleaned very well, and arranged properly, even the toilet Henry expected that it won't be that convincing but still it was okay, nothing like it was manageable, he was grateful for that, he knows that if he would tell Clifford or snap it and how it to him he would immediately change the guesthouse or atleast they will

Samson's eyes widened in surprise, he wasn't told that it was this long, the only thing Henry told him was that, they were going to find Simon who was also the cause of his brother's death and he was determined to find him at all cost, his brother has done a lot for him so atleast what he could for him is to find his killer and maybe put him in cell or kill him. Henry scoffed as he saw in the rearview mirror how his big his eyes came out then went back to normal, his plan was that after some hours of drive almost reaching mid night then they would stay either at a hotel or guesthouse then after that the next morning would be another ride.He doesn't want to spend all the hours at the road driving while they will be all hungry and sleepy, and that's what Samson thought too as he reasoned with Henry in his mind."Well that true, I can't leave my tummy empty without having something to eat, I might end up dying if I'm trying to fight"Samson grumbled as Victor scoffed.

"who?" She asked as she then thought that it was Henry since he was the only person he knew that would come looking for her at the office and maybe to tell her for the fact that he wasn't going to be around."The manager Clifford" Her eyes widened as she shifted herself from the bed and sat down at the edge of the bed. "But why? Did I do something wrong?""Not really but though he was like you should come to my office immediately, he sounded so serious though"Her heart sank as she began to think where she made a mistake, but she could grasp anything bad she had ever done, she has always been a good lady with her staffs and also the director of the sales department."Look you shouldn't worry about anything okay?""Are you sure?" Irene asked because she was doubting it."Of course, if anything bad happens all of us wouldn't agree to it, you have been a good lady to all of us so I think you shouldn't worry at all, or was they something you did that I'm not aware of?

190. Who's that?
He felt his heart sank as he wondered what she was doing at her place, it has been a long time now since he ever set his eyes on her, he felt so angry at this point, he prayed nothing bad happened to Irene. When they reached her house, he came down even before the driver tries coming down to open the door for him."I will be right back" Henry muttered casually so they won't see that he was so tensed up.As he walked into her small apartment, he knocked first but there was no response, he was about to say it's him but he doesn't know where she was at that moment.He took a deep breathe as he knocked again and this time he heard a sound of a key shaking close to the door as it got opened. Irene gazed up at him with her jaw clenched and her eyebrows lowered and was almost to mutter a word but then it was Henry as she chooses to calm down, her eye lit up then she slowly smiled. "Come in" Henry hesitated for a moment before he came inside, he looked thoroughly to make sure that the mat

Immediately Henry spotted him sitting down on the staircase, he walked really fast to his side, victor saw him coming as he stood with his laptop and a school bag he carried in his hand."So you are all ready right?" Henry asked as he nods his head. He was putting on a baggy jeans and a hoodie, it was winter already so that why he was dressing like that.After he opened the door and entered inside, he walked really fast upstairs like taking two stairs so he would be fast. He reached his room as he began to arrange some of his things inside his back to embark on this journey, he really hoped that it would be a success and won't end up taking lives.After he was done arranging his things, he came out of his room then as he sighed Priscilla's room he decided to check whether she was inside so that he would be able to tell her a good bye, she has his spare keys so they won't be any problem.As he peeped through the window, no one was inside, it was literally empty, he sighed as he knew

Henry's phone begins to ring as he took it out from his pocket when he saw the name of the screen he picked it up immediately."Hello Henry, it's seems you are not at home, I'm at your doorstep now"He said with his innocent voice."Don't worry I will be back home, just give me sometime" Henry assured victor as he cut the call.He was stunned that he was already done with what he had and came early to his apartment, he was expecting them to be going at midnight, he was going with bodyguards so there was no need of worrying about security, he is also security conscious. A call came through his phone as he planned on dropping it inside his pocket then he saw the caller ID which was Ms. Stella and then picked it up."Ok already coming to pick you up, I hope you are okay because you weren't picking up your calls, Caeser said the meeting was over" Henry placed his left hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, he was actually dealing with them Ryan and Clara and that's why he didn't eve

"I think you should mind the way you talk to my wife Henry or else.."Henry blurted. "Or else what? And what did I say to her that's bad now? I don't really like the fact that you make me seem like the bad guy here""And of course you are, you have changed and she is trying to tell you how bad that is...""Is she my mum?"This made Ryan speechless, he just stared at Henry, clenching his fists and controlling himself not to give him a mark on his face. "And also isn't it you guys who stopped at my business? Why can't you just leave? Not that I'm holding you, the fuck is wrong with all of you, and what would you gain from insulting me, huh?"Clara scoffed. "Because you deserved it Henry" "Does that make any sense to you? Clara I was fucking good to you right? And I make sure you enjoyed my company, I stayed by your side and make sure that I would bear anything that you do to me, remember raining insults on me during your birthday night and I literally had to apologize, huh?"
