As Lucas and his thugs prepared to leave, thinking they had avenged themselves, Suddenly, Men dressed in black emerged from another corridor, blocking their exit.
Lucas, surprised, demanded, "Who the hell are you?"One of the mysterious figures coldly replied, "Just consider us the consequence you didn't anticipate."Before Lucas could react, the men swiftly overpowered him and his gang. Fists flew, and in a matter of moments, Lucas and his thugs found themselves beaten and tied up. The leader of the group stepped forward, observing the thug who laid sprawled on the floor groaning in pain.Lucas, struggling to speak, managed to utter, "Who sent you?"The leader smirked, "Let's just say it's someone who's had enough of your little games."As Lucas and his gang groaned in pain, Sophia Benjamin stepped out from a hidden corner, with a determined look on her face. She had been silently observing the incident, and now she had decided to intervene.With a composed tone, Sophia said, "I suggest you stay quiet if you know what's good for you. The police are on their way."Lucas, realizing the gravity of the situation, glared at Henry and Emily, "You fools!"Henry, still recovering from the earlier beating, retorted, "I didn't know this was going to happen. Who are these people?"Sophia, now dialing the police, explained, "Consider it payback for the trouble you caused Henry and Emily."As the police arrived, Sophia provided a detailed account of the events. Lucas and his thugs were arrested, their reign of intimidation finally put to an end.As they were led away, the leader of the police turned to Sophia and said, "Thank you for your assistance. We've been tracking Lucas and his gang for a long time, and your bravery in standing up to them was crucial in putting an end to their actions."Sophia nodded, feeling a sense of relief and satisfaction. She had taken a stand against injustice and had helped bring about the consequences that were long overdue for Lucas and his thugs.Henry, grateful but puzzled, turned to Sophia, "Why did you help us?"Sophia blushed slightly, "You saved my grandfather's life, Henry. Consider this my way of returning the favor. As for them, let's just say they have their reasons for intervening."Henry, still processing her response, nodded appreciatively, "Thank you, Sophia. I didn't expect all this to happen."Sophia smiled, "Life has its surprises. Just be careful; not everyone has a good heart as I am."As the police took Lucas and his gang away, Emily, still shaken, whispered to Henry, "What just happened?"Henry sighed, "It's complicated, Emily. But we're safe now, thanks to Sophia."Sophia, with a warm smile, revealed, "My grandfather is awake, and he specifically asked to see you, Henry. He wants to express his gratitude for saving his life."As they headed toward the ward, Emily couldn't hide her jealousy but managed to keep silent. Henry, unaware of Emily's internal anger, followed Sophia to meet Benjamin Baret.Upon entering the room, Henry was greeted by the elderly man lying in the bed. Benjamin Baret, with a frail but sincere voice, expressed his thanks, "Henry, the doctors had given up on me, but you brought me back. I owe you my life."Henry, humbled, replied, "I'm just glad I could help, Mr. Baret."To show his appreciation, Benjamin Baret reached for a drawer and pulled out a cheque, handing it to Henry, "Consider this a token of gratitude. You've earned it."Henry, astonished, looked at the cheque, "A hundred million dollars?! This is too much, Mr. Baret."Benjamin chuckled, "Nonsense! It's the least I can do. You've proven to be quite exceptional. Oh, and I have something else for you."Henry listened attentively as Benjamin continued, "I have wealthy friends who, like me, have faced health challenges. Your skills are remarkable, and I believe you can help them. Here's my contact, and in the coming days, I'll introduce you to some influential individuals who could benefit from your expertise."Henry, grateful but slightly overwhelmed, accepted both the cheque and the promise. Emily, still grappling with her feelings, managed a forced smile.As they left the hospital room, Sophia whispered to Henry, "You truly have a gift, Henry. My grandfather doesn't offer such rewards lightly. Make the most of this opportunity."Henry nodded, realizing that his actions had set in motion a chain of unexpected events. The encounter with Lucas, the mysterious intervention, and now this unforeseen reward from Benjamin Baret opened new doors for him.As they walked out of the hospital, Emily, trying to conceal her envy, asked, "What just happened in there?"Henry, with a mix of excitement and disbelief, explained, "Mr. Baret is grateful for what I did. He gave me this substantial gift, and he's going to introduce me to his wealthy friends who might need my help."Emily, masking her jealousy with a smile, said, "Well, that's great, Henry. Looks like things are getting better for you. Don't forget to look for a job through the process since you're useless. And again don't go around displaying your poor attitude of begging. I won't tolerate anymore disgrace from you.""Don't worry. I won't be asking you for help if it turns out like the case," Henry replied, making Emily more angry as they left the hospital.Little did they know that these events were only the beginning of a journey that would bring both challenges and opportunities into his life.

Hand It Over
“Josh, you’re finally back!” Robert approached him with a bright smile. “Sorry to keep you waiting, Dad.” Celestine smiled and gestured to the woman beside him. “Allow me to introduce you to Davina Harris, my fiancée.” — “Davina Harris?” Robert looked taken aback before asking tentatively. “Is she the third daughter of the Harris family?” “Yes, that’s right.” Celestine smiled. “Nice to meet you. Mr. Layren.” Davina nodded. “Yes, yes, nice to meet you, too. As expected of a daughter of the Harris family–you’re the very embodiment of beauty and grace!” Robert looked delighted. He never would’ve expected his son to be able to win the Harris family’s favor. The five wealthiest families in Flaz city were known as the Fabulous Five, but there were three other families seven more powerful than them–the Tremendous Three. The Harris family was one of them. If the Layren family could form an alliance with the Harris family through Celestine’s marriage with Davina, they’d have a bright fu
Getting Rid Of Them
“Brown” was the pinnacle of power. Many people shared the same surname, but there was only one family that held that type of emblem. That family incurred fear from countless others, and no one dared to challenge them. “The Brown Emblem! W–who are you?” Peter gripped the badge with both hands, his body began to shake, and beads of sweat ran down his forehead. “You must be blind! This is Sir Damon Fletcher!” The large man hollered. “Damon Fletcher?” At the sound of the name, Peter immediately paled in fear. Not many knew of that name, but that man had a popular nickname–the Executioner! He had an infamous reputation for being the human butcher who sliced people like butter. There were three great generals in the Brown family–the Executioner, the Sword Whisperer, and the Drunken Maniac. Each one of them was enough to shake the country. The Executioner, Damon Fletcher, was the strongest of them all. He was so terrifying that kids would cry at the mention of his name. Rumor had it
Falling In A Trap
The crowd began to hurl insults at Henry. “It can’t be. Henry wouldn’t do that Emily shook her head, unable to accept that. “Why are you still defending him, Emily? Why do you still have feelings for that asshole? I’m telling you, Micheal’s the better man for you. He’s leagues above Henry! I’ll show you Henry’s true colors right now!” Mrs Miller yelled and began the playback, showing exactly what happened. By the time they reached the middle of the video, everyone had frozen in dismay. “Micheal Clark?” Mrs Miller was rooted to the spot as she stared in disbelief at the man violently assaulting Emily in the video.Everyone else’s jaws had dropped as well. Never in their dreams would they have imagined that the person who kidnapped Emily and tried to assault her would be Micheal, a respectful man from a noble family. How could this be possible? However, the video was right before their eyes. It turned out that the despicable person had been the “decent” man, Micheal, instead of H
Put Him In Jail
“I planned to finish you off in one go, but I changed my mind.” Henry approached calmly, his overwhelming presence making it hard for Michael to breathe, and Michael’s hand began to tremble uncontrollably. “Stop right there! You better stop, or I’ll fucking shoot your Michael yelled.However, Henry continued his way forward as if he hadn’t heard the other man. “You’re dead meat!” Michael gritted his teeth and aimed the gun at Henry’s head before pulling the trigger. Ear–splitting bangs rang out as the chamber was emptied of bullets. However, Henry had disappeared. Abruptly, he appeared less than two feet away in front of Michael. “You-” Startled, Michael tried to jerk backward, but Henry grabbed his hair and slammed his head into the wall with bang. Michael immediately passed out, his head bleeding. “H–Henry Now that the danger had passed, Emily’s body finally relaxed, and she fell into slumber. Henry glanced at the fallen man and pulled out his phone to call someone. 15 minut
I'll Have My Fill
Henry hummed. He was about to say something else when his phone started ringing. Emily was calling him. Muffled noises could be heard as soon as he picked up. “Let me go. I want to go home.” Emily demanded weakly. “What do you mean ‘go home“? Look at how pretty Estelle Hotel is. Let’s keep drinking there.” Micheal cackled. “You can go alone. Piss off.” “Fucking slut! You better appreciate the chance I’m giving you. You don’t have a say in this. You’re drinking tonight. Get in!” As the phone fell to the floor, the cursing became softer until it completely faded away. Henry’s face darkened immediately, and the air around him became unbelievably cold. “What’s wrong, Mr. Brown?” Peter shivered. A loud slap rang out as Henry struck Peter across the face, causing the latter to fall to the floor. “You motherfucker! You better hope your son didn’t make a mistake, or I’ll destroy your entire family!” Henry opened the door and dashed out. “Huh?” Peter covered his cheek with a hand, d
Don't Be Rash
“Don’t be rash, Micheal!” Peter warned gravely. “He has the Philip family to support him, and now, he has Eric Morgan‘s support as well. We’ll sink further if you do anything to him!” Alas, those words failed to reach Micheal, who has lost repeatedly to Henry recently. Today’s incident only fueled his anger, and his hatred toward Henry peaked. “Micheal, leave this matter to me. You should take a break for the next two days. Just don’t get into any trouble.” Peter instructed his son seriously, who didn’t reply as he began to plot his revenge. Soon, night fell. Inside Midnight Rose, Emily downed shot after shot in a corner. Julia sat beside her, her face full of worry. This was the first time she saw Emily like this. Emily refused to return to the company or care about what was going on, completely abandoning her strong woman character and letting herself go. Julia heard that it was because of Henry, but was it worth it? “Please stop drinking, Ms. Miller. Let’s go back. Your
