The Padillas might have made some money, but proceeding beyond their means was simply impossible."Is that all you have? Your arrogance and swagger made me assume your family must be extremely wealthy."You'll reap what you sow. Take responsibility for your mistakes," Henry said as he shook his head calmly."The 180,000 dollars is just about enough for you to treat me to dinner tonight. I'll settle the bill tonight, and we'll be clear," Henry said indifferently."Ah—"Graham was stunned momentarily and could not help but whisper, "But this meal costs less than that."He could not help but shrink back slightly and quickly said, "Yes, it does. I was just talking nonsense earlier.""Okay, don't be too nervous. I'm a reasonable person."If you don't believe me, then let's get the bill to see if I'm lying."Henry summoned a server and said, "Please get me the bill; remember, no discounts, no complimentary items, everything at the original price."When Graham heard that, he became

The Everising Platinum Card was just a legend to them; they would not have noticed it if Noel had not pointed it out.Everyone speculated on Henry's identity. He revealed his close relationship with three of the four great families in a short period. It appeared that those families were even trying to curry favor with him. Besides the Joneses and Fords, the Skyline Corporation, who replaced the Seltzers, did the same.Noel was deliberate about that. He said, "Alright, I'll get the bill for you. I'll be back shortly."He would not bill the total amount but half of it. He even consulted with higher-ups about whether the wine should be waived. They had told Noel not to worry because the Fords would eventually cover the expenses.Since everything was settled, Henry stopped pursuing Graham and allowed him to leave freely.Graham was ecstatic, but then his phone rang. When his father called, he immediately answered—there was a desperate roar from the phone."Graham, you damn brat! Who

"No," Henry replied, shaking his head."What do you mean, no? She seems very upset. Aren't you concerned about her?" Cheryl said."It's not that serious." Henry paused slightly.Lydia should have the strength to handle it. However, things might be different if she were with someone like Sarah."What do you mean, not serious? Hurry up; go check on her," Cheryl said, taking Henry's hand.Even though Henry downplayed it, Cheryl could tell he cared about his wife."Okay, I'll go after her," Henry said.Cheryl watched Henry leave and felt a sense of loss.Hilary shook her head, saying, "Their marriage is only contractual, and you like Henry. Wouldn't it be better if they separated? Why were you convincing him to do the opposite?""No! If Henry likes her, I won't do anything to upset him," Cheryl responded immediately."You're a silly girl," Hilary said helplessly.Christina was puzzled by the situation.Cheryl explained that Henry treated her like a little sister. "We're not a c

"Who's Simon?" Sarah pretended not to know, but her heart had burst with joy."Young Master Walker, the one who helped us to collect the debt last time.""The one that Henry took credit for?""Yeah!""Well, he seems quite polite and gentlemanly. He comes from an extraordinary family, and I haven't heard any bad rumors about him. I can't tell you more, but I always feel he's quite formidable." Sarah pretended as if she knew nothing."Oh.""He's the future heir of the Walkers. Whoever marries him will be blessed for life. I wonder who would be so lucky."By the way, why did you ask about him?""It's nothing!" Lydia did not say more; she was already leaning toward Simon.After driving for a while, the car happened to pass by a bar. Sarah glanced at it and said, "You're not in a good mood now. Why don't I take you to relax?""Relax? Where?""There! The Zero Degree Bar!"Don't worry. My friend runs this bar. It's very safe," Sarah reassured her."Okay."Feeling upset, Lydia in

The man was caught off guard as he was pushed aside. Sarah immediately scratched the other two men's faces fiercely.It was all part of a script. Soon, the hero, Simon, would appear.Lydia was angry and desperate, not expecting Sarah to fight so hard to save her. Sarah had always cared for her. She had always stood up for Lydia, even when she was misunderstood.Lydia could not be bothered with much else then. She seized the opportunity to run outside.'Sarah, please wait for me. I'll save you,' she thought."Damn, you filthy bitch! Looking for trouble?" The man was furious at Sarah's actions. He slapped her hard twice, pushed her away firmly, and yelled, "Get her!"Despite her desire to flee, Lydia had consumed a significant amount of alcohol. Furthermore, the other party had already planned for that, so she could not escape.Lydia stumbled and nearly fell forward after only a few steps.Simon watched the scene from a distance. His face lit up with excitement, but he quickly su
