Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 95: Quite unusual for a lawyer
After a long drive home, he pulled into the driveway and put the car in park. Taking care not to wake her, he gently lifted her sleeping figure from the passenger seat and into his arms. Cradling her close, he carried her up the walk and through the front door, taking care with each quiet step. In the guest room lit only by moonlight streaming through the window, he lay her softly onto the bed.Satisfied she was safely tucked in, he left silently out of the room and pulled the door closed behind him.Exhausted from the long night, he retreated to his own room as the early morning sun began to brighten the sky. He collapsed onto the bed after kicking off his shoes without even removing his clothes. *When next he opened his eyes, bright daylight was pouring through the windows. Rolling over with a groan, he fumbled for his phone to check the time. 11:03 AM glared back at him from the lock screen. "Well, a CEO can show up whenever he pleases," he mumbled to himself with a wry chuck

When she noticed Henry's gaze was burning on her, she turned to him. "Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm actually proud of him. It's just… the way he moved—so graceful and controlled. And the look he gave me...pity. I mean, I'm not the one who's in a situation like he was."Henry didn't find that suspicious. Everyone that worked for the White all went through some kind of training to give them the brute character they had.To him, it was her first time seeing things like that and that was why she felt it was strange."I wouldn't read too much into Nathan's expression," Henry assured her. "I would have felt the same way if I were in his position. He felt so sad about how Sage was mistreating you, and that's all."He rinsed his plate in the sink and turned to face Irene. "We still need to visit Sage in custody today. If you can't meet up, I'll go by myself, okay?"Irene nodded and rolled her eyes. Henry checked his watch with a sigh. "Also, I can't wait for you, miss. You have legs, so you c

He then saw a familiar name on the list, Elvis Matthew. His brows furrowed as he stared at it. "Elvis..." He murmured, disbelief weighing heavy in his gut. "You don't know him? He is now a new millionaire. He is well respected because of how he donates and helps the needy. I think this will expand the business's prestige if we invite him to your mother's birthday gala," Clifford said, leaning back into his chair.Henry's grip tightened on the page until his knuckles turned white. Old wounds that never fully healed reopened as the memories flooded his mind. Slowly, he shook his head, a grim expression overtaking his features."Elvis, a bully, helping others?" He muttered incredulously. The irony wasn't lost on him as scenes from the reunion party flashed through his mind. Elvis' taunting words slicing as sharp as ever registered in his memory. He was still the same bully that tormented him in college!"Bully? Clifford shook his head, as Henry was pulled out of his reverie while h

Henry frowned skeptically. "I don't know about that though…. Maybe I'll ask Irene for more details later." He then threw a look at Clifford. "Do you even know the Irene I'm talking about?" He asked.Clifford leaned back in his chair, nodding slowly as he peered out the window in thought. "Of course, I have seen her a couple of times in the sales department. She is really attractive and well-mannered. I wonder what that Sage of a guy wants. I think he was just using her since she was too kind and easy to fool."Henry huffed a quiet laugh and nodded, rising from his seat. "Later," he said, turning his back to walk out of the office.At The Willstone's Mansion.Clara stared in disbelief at the box on the table before her. Someone had brought in the parcel a while ago. Her fingers trembled slightly as she lifted the lid, peering inside with anticipation and awe. A bottle glinted in the sunlight pouring through the windows. It was a bottle of red wine, her favorite. "Wow," she gasped i

Just then, Ryan's footsteps sounded on the stairs as he descended towards the parlor. Clara slowly turned her head, already knowing who it was, her darling husband. She jumped to her feet, smoothening her skirt, spreading her arms open wide. He took long strides toward her and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close."Hey love," she said in a warm tone, cradling her face in his chest. He paused for a moment, taking in the signs of joy around her eyes and mouth. "What's making you so happy?" he asked."I just received an invitation," she replied, holding up the m white card for him to see. As he stepped closer to read it, she continued, "We have been invited to Lady White's birthday gala!" Her smile then faded as a thought struck her. "Though your name isn't among those listed, which I find rather curious. I wonder why the sender didn't know that we are married now, and prefer to go by Mr. and Mrs. Smith," she mused aloud, tilting her head questioningly.While the omi
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 100: Interrogating him
"Thank you for your unsolicited advice. Now, where is he?" Irene snapped back at them, her usual calm and sweet expression vanishing in anger. Wrinkled formed across her brow as a frown pulled at her features. She shot each of them a glare, before facing her system again.She had grown tired of them. She appreciated their kindness towards her, but they always looked down on others who didn't fit in their social circle. In fact, almost every worker in the company felt themselves higher than others because of their social status.She knew that pointing this out wouldn't end well, as they had grown proud and stubborn over time. Even though Irene wanted to talk about this issue with them, she knew it would only bring more trouble upon herself. With a sigh, Irene turned her focus back to the monitor on her desk, to distract herself from the conversation around her. Her eyes scanned over the document she had been revising for Henry's upcoming project. Though the initial work was complete,
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 101: White Empire: How selfish of the son
All the secrets had to be revealed, especially the fact that Beatrice was not an ordinary woman. She was truly a terrible person and deserved to be exposed and defeated.Henry found it both funny and infuriating when Sage claimed that he physically abused Irene to convince himself that he didn't love her. It was a twisted and misguided effort to suppress his emotions.It became very clear that Sage had been under Beatrice's control. What a disgrace! All for the sake of material possessions, he almost took the life of an innocent woman. And he looked so proud of it.Henry felt someone grab his shoulders from behind and forcefully turn him around. When he looked, he saw Nathan, his lawyer, standing in front of him. Even though he was surprised by the sudden movement, Henry recognized Nathan and smiled. Nathan walked up to him with a big grin.As Henry approached Nathan, the details of his appearance came into focus. Dark bruises shadowed the skin under Nathan's eyes, which were bloodsho

As Henry turned down Irene's street, he slowed the car, peering ahead in thought. If he took her directly home, there would be questions from his mother about why he took long. He pressed on the brake. "I'll let you out here, if that's alright?" he said to Irene.She studied him curiously but didn't protest. Henry pulled over to the side of the road and put the car in park. Irene reached for the door handle but paused, glancing back at him. "Aren't you coming up?" Henry tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. "I just need to go somewhere." Irene just nodded in understanding. "Alright then. See you." With that, she climbed out and shut the door, raising a hand in farewell as Henry pulled away from the side of the road.He watched in the rearview mirror as she strode down the sidewalk toward home, turning back to go to his mother's beauty store.*As Henry turned the corner onto a familiar street, Starry Cosmetics came into view - its large glass windows gleaming in the afternoon su

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? "She hissed bec

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?"
