Dennis turned his head and looked at Henry with a fawning face, and he said hurriedly, “Mr. Han, I didn’t know Mrs. Han before, but I did have heard some nice words about her, so when this old hag came to me, I was indeed tempted at the time.”
“And tonight, I arrived early, and they found me and told me exactly what to do. They asked me to put the drug into the cocktail Mrs. Han was drinking. And then they would tell everyone that we were in a relationship, and I could just take her away after the chaos. If I did make it, then Mrs. Han would have to admit everything no matter what. And all of these troubles are just because Steven Anderson was once the boyfriend of Mrs. Han.”
“Miss Gil hooked up with the boyfriend
of her own sister and this old hag is indeed biased. This vicious snake did everything just to keep Mrs. Han’s mouth shut!”
“And I? I was just a pawn for her. I have got nothing to do with her vicious plan.”
“More importantly, when I helped Mrs. Han away just now in the hall, I did not mean to take advantage of her.”
“Sure, I admired her beauty, but that’s just before I know she is Mrs. Han now. And for a woman I love, I would surely try to win her heart before I would do anything to her body. How would I even take advantage of her when she’s in trouble?”
“I just thought, if I did not agree to them, they would just find another way to hurt Mrs. Han. That’s why I wanted to help her out of there.”
“If I knew she’s your wife, how would I possibly dare to hurt her. Mr. Han, you sure can understand me!”
After his most touching speech, tears had welled up in his eyes.
If she hadn’t seen through this scum’s true face a long time ago, Zoe would have wanted to give him a medal to praise his heroic deeds!
She gave a light sneer, and Henry remained expressionless, simply looking at Ciara, who was right next to him.
“And you. Do you have anything to say?”
After all, she had experienced a lot at her age, and now she looked much calmer than Dennis.
She just stared at Henry coldly and said in a stern voice, “He talked nonsense. I had never discussed anything with him. He put the drug himself and I knew nothing about it at all.”
Henry curled his thin lips lightly, and an icyNôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
smile touched his eyes.
He pulled out another piece of paper from the stack lightly.
The fire flared up again, and the piece of paper was reduced to ashes.
The faces of the Gil all changed in an instant, and their pupils shrunk.
It was a clothing company owned by the Gil family. While it’s just a small family business, it was growing nicely.
In just about two minutes, an abrupt phone ring sounded.
Jaden cast a glance at Henry and walked to the side to pick up the phone.
“What? How is that possible?”
The face of Ciara whitened somewhat, and an idea struck her mind already.
But she found it unbelievable. What could Henry really do in such a short time?
Were it in the capital Eqitin, she believed Henry could really have the strength to wipe out a company with a snap of his fingers.
But here in Julio?
The Gil family had taken root in the city, with countless and intricate connections everywhere. Sure he could not just wipe them out like that?
However, Jaden hurried back and whispered a few words in her ear, shattering her last shred of hope.
She looked over at the man sitting on the couch in shock and disbelief, while the man was still as calm and cool as ever.
Henry smiled.
He didn’t fly into a rage. The speed of his speech remained unhurried, and the tone of his
voice calm and steady.
But she just felt this man was scary for no reason!
Even the air had become oppressive because of his smile.
Henry said indifferently, “One minute to go, who’s next?”
As he said, he reached out to another company of the Gil
Zoe watched it and didn’t say anything.
‘Burn it! Just burn it!’
The properties of the Gil family had nothing to do with her already when her mother died.
She could not feel even better to see their scared and heartbroken faces!
Deep down in her heart, Zoe did not know why Henry would do this.
With his power, if he wanted to revenge her, he didn’t even need to go to the trouble of making them talk, and he could just do whatever he wanted.
But now, he just tortured them little by little and squeezed everything out of them bit by bit.
An idea struck Zoe and a flash crossed her eyes.
She also found it unbelievable but could not help putting on a smile on her face. From the bottom of her heart, she felt a so warm.
‘This man was really…’
Jaden, who had been standing behind, saw Henry reaching out his hand to another business of the Gil, and could not help yelling, “Mother.”
He called out to Ciara, whose face was as livid as she could ever be.
But what could she do anyway, in the face of such a monster?
At this time, they were like fish on a slab waiting to be slaughtered. Never mind the power to resist, they didn’t even have the courage it might take.
Jesus! How could they even go against Henry?
Wasn’t that just asking for death.
She no longer doubted that after the phone call just now. The company Henry burned just now was suspended by the government.
Not acquired, but suspended by the government!
They said something was wrong with the fabrics they used!
Only God knew what could be wrong with their fabrics! Nothing had went wrong in the past decade, but now something was just wrong!
Ciara was not too dumb to know it was Henry.
But what could she even do?
Thinking about it, she took a deep breath.
Finally, she said in resignation, “Mr. Han, what do you want to hear actually? I will just say it.”
Henry just raised his eyes and cast a glance at her.
It was too late, and he had already lit up another piece of paper.
Watching the flaring flames, she was almost heartbroken.
After Spark Industries, it was her best company and it was also the company of which she felt the most proud.
Thanks to the huge profit it generated every year, they could support all the other businesses of the family.
What should they do without it?
Henry seemed to have failed to notice how heartbroken she had been. He shook off the ashes on his hands, wiped them off with a paper towel and finally leaned back to the sofa.
“Finally. You know, you could have saved us a lot of troubles if you can make the decision earlier.”
Ciara did not know what to say.
Henry tilted his head, looked over to Zoe, and asked in a soft voice, “From which part do you think she should begin?”
Zoe blinked her eyes and her mouth split into a light smile, “Just from the part when she decided to set me up!”
Henry nodded slightly, “Good.”
At that, he reached over to hold her hand, placed it on her lap, and looked at Ciara as if he was waiting for a good show.
“Mrs. Gil, shall we begin?”
