Chapter 22
"Good! Good! Nelson, very good. Together with two outsiders bully your own sister, don't you? Let's wait and see!" Richard's mother pulled him and said, "Let's go!"
Richard followed behind his mother, glared at Henry with hatred, and was ready to walk out of the door.
"Did I let you go?" Henry grabbed Richard's collar.
"Don't be insatiable!" Richard turned around, pointed at Henry, and just opened his mouth.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!" There were three crisp sounds.
As Henry promised, three slaps hit on Ricard's face. The speed was so fast that he didn't even have a chance to react. The last slap even knocked Richard to the ground with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Apologize." Henry still said the same word.
Henry walked to Richard, who was lying on the ground and crawling. At this moment, Richard only felt that the air around him became much colder. In this hot weather, he still got goosebumps all over his body.
"I!" Richard got up and was about to say something malicious, but when he saw Henry's raised arm and the muscles on his arm, he immediately swallowed the harsh words. "Yes, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you."
Richard's face, courage, and arrogance were completely destroyed by Henry's slaps!
Four clear and crisp sounds rang out in succession. Richard, who had just climbed up, was beaten to the ground again. Two backward teeth full of blood were spat out by him, which was enough to
prove how heavy Henry's palm was.
Henry was still frustrated by his thumbs. He said in a light tone, "Do not apologize to me, but to my wife."
Richard stayed on the ground and begged Sylvia, "Sorry, I'm sorry!"
"Don't be so mean. If you say something rude to my wife again, I will beat you to death, really." Henry took a deep look at Richard. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
At this moment, Richard felt as if he was being stared at by a fierce beast. Just for a moment, cold sweat wet his back. He was really scared.
"Well, you people continue to talk." Henry clapped his hands and sat back on the sofa. "Just to clarify, you can insult me. If you dare to say something to my wife, I will beat you to death. That's all."
After that, Henry poured tea for Sylvia and handed it carefully to her. He said gently, "Be careful and drink slowly."
Looking at the teacup handed by Henry, Sylvia gradually looked up and saw his face. The rough pores proved that the man in front of her had not done any good maintenance. The wind and frost left a mark on his face.
After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Sylvia took the cup and whispered to Henry, "Thank you."
This was the first time she said thank you to Henry, from the bottom of her heart.
Henry smiled. "You said I'm the head of this family. Isn't it what I should do to protect you?"
Nelson, who was standing aside, looked at Henry with approval and said, "Sylvia, have a good rest with Henry. I'll explain something to you another day!"
After Nelson finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the house, ignoring the others.
"Let's go too." Sylvia's aunt left with her daughter.
Daisy secretly gave Henry a thumbs-up, held her mother's arm, and walked out of the house.
"Let's go!" Henry's aunt pulled her son, afraid that Henry would do something outrageous, and left quickly.
"Just, sooner or later, I will teach you a lesson!" Richard's mother pulled her son out of the door and mercilessly glanced at Henry and Sylvia. Her eyes were as if she wanted to eat them both alive.
Henry rolled his eyes. He didn't care about Richard's mother's threat at all. He smiled at the woman next to him. "President Lin, calm down. Your body needs you to relax. Drink some water and I'll clean the floor first."
"Today..." Sylvia looked at Henry with a hesitant look.
"President Lin, just tell me what you want."
"Don't wipe the ground. Come with me to one place." Sylvia sighed as if she had made a decision. In her sigh, she was somewhat helpless and somewhat relieved.
Henry was stunned by her strange expression. Then he nodded and said, "Okay."
There would always be thunder and rain in summer. The sun shone high in the previous second, and the rain poured down in the next second.
Henry walked with Sylvia, who was dressed in a black suit, toward the Green Mountain Garden.
As the rain fell, Henry held a black umbrella for Sylvia. Seeing the bean-sized drops of water constantly falling in front of her eyes, there was fog on both sides of the road. The dense stone tablets loomed in the fog.
"President Lin, you should have said earlier. I would have changed my clothes." Henry gave a wry smile and looked at his pink beach pants, which were incompatible with all this. He seemed to be an alien in this world.
"It's okay." Sylvia shook her head indifferently. "That is your style. There is no need to change it deliberately."
Sylvia held a bouquet of lilies in her hand and stood in front of a tombstone. On the monument, there was a slightly yellow-white photo. The person in the photo looked in her thirties, which was about 70 percent similar to Sylvia. She was very grateful and must have many pursuers before her death.
"Mom, I'm here to see you." Sylvia gently bowed to the tombstone and put the flower in her hand in front of the monument. Her beautiful big eyes were full of tears.
This was the first time that Henry had heard the news about Sylvia's mother since he came to the Lin family.
Henry also bowed. "Mom, we are here to see you."
Henry's calling "mother" attracted Sylvia's blaming eyes, but she did not say anything.
"Henry, do you know that since I graduated from college and took over Lins Group, the relationship between me and my aunts is like an enemy." Sylvia sat in front of the monument, with her little face helplessly leaning against the tombstone, as if this was her harbor.
Henry squatted beside her, holding an umbrella for her and listening quietly.
She didn't care about the water stains on the ground and let her pants wet by the water. "Lins Group is the leading enterprise in Yinzhou City. It looks glamorous, but in fact, it is full of danger. Not only the people outside are covetous, but also the Lin family wants to occupy Lins Group. From the day I took over Lins Group, I have become the public enemy number one."
At this time, Sylvia looked tired.
"I know, many people privately call me the ice president lady, but who likes to keep a straight face every day? I'm just afraid. The more I laugh, the more no one is afraid of me and no one is convinced of me. So many people are staring at me. Now, as long as I do something wrong, I will be pushed into a deep abyss, trembling with fear, as if walking on thin ice. Today Grandpa showed us his will. He has at most three months, and those people can't wait. They try to get benefits from grandpa and want to kick me down from the president position!"
