Chapter 721


    Truth be told, there was little to be achieved between two people. A sense of guilt overcame as nothing


    could be done for thedy of Linton Group.


    If thedy’s business were dyed as a result of what happened, they would be overwhelmed with


    guilt and remorse.


    Daniel bit his lips and said, “Then... I shall happily oblige and thank Mrs. Jones for your hospitality.”


    Mrs. Jones shed a cold smile in response, “That’s more like it.”


    The crowd gathered around Mrs. Jones again and continued to pour praises, hoping to win her favor.


    Some even went to the extent of badmouthing Daniel and Hannah


    The group ostracized Hannah and Daniel. Embarrassed, they stood by the side and looked on


    aimlessly at the crowd that surrounded Mrs. Jones.


    Shortly after, a Rolls Royce pulled up onto the entrance of the neighborhood.


    The door opened, and a young man dressed in a white suit and leather shoes exited the car. His


    complexion was as smooth and white as powdered snow.


    It was Henry Jones, the superstar. He was the highlight for today.


    As soon as he exited the car, the neighbors rushed over and surrounded him, burying him under their


    squeals of delight and praise.


    “Henry, you look even better in person! There is an air of elegance about you!”


    “Henry, Henry, do you remember me? I carried you in my arms when you were still a little kid.”


    “Henry, you are the pride of ourmunity. Your uncle and aunt are really proud of you.”


    “Henry, your outfit looks like it cost you a fortune. And the worth of your car is enough to buy half the


    neighborhood.”


    Henry frowned with disgust. Irritated, he pinched his nose as he eximed, “This ce stinks! Get


    away from me, make way, make way!”


    Gasp!


    The crowd fell silent in embarrassment, and their enthusiasm was put out in an instant.


    They came out in full force to wee him with open arms, only to be met with an insult in return!


    What could be more humiliating than that?


    Henry Jones in real life was nothing like the image he projected on-screen. Where was the gentle and


    polite persona everyone grew to love? The difference was jaw-dropping.


    Everyone attributed his reaction to his wealthy lifestyle and decided to brush it aside. ”He now lives the


    high life and is ustomed to the finer things in life. Who can fault him for that?”


    Onedy whipped out her mobile phone to take a photo of Henry.


    However, Henry stopped her in her tracks. “What is that in your hand? What model is this? Who on


    earth uses these types of mobile phones anymore? This is so insulting,” he eximed.


    “I will only permit my photo to be taken with a FRUIT phone and nothing else. Definitely not a local


    phone... imagine the horror if my photo turned out ugly?”


    Resentment grew among the crowd.


    This guy has a serious case of inted ego and forgot his roots. Has he forgotten he is from Eurasia,


    and it was Eurasia that propelled him to stardom?


    The ungrateful swine now despised Eurasia’s products and instead worshiped foreign goods and


    brands!


    He had lost his identity and forsaken his roots!


    Yet, Henry could not be bothered by what others thought of him. He walked over to Mrs. Jones and


    said, “Let’s go, mother. I bought you a huge vi. From today onwards you will live there. This tiny town


    reeks, and you being here will only tarnish my reputation.”


    After that, Mrs. Jones replied hurriedly, “We will leave after dinner. I invited the neighbors to a simple


    farewell party.”


    Henry was visibly irritated. “Why would you do that? They have neither money nor power. They are of


    no use to us. It is meaningless and a waste of time to have any form of rtionships with them,” he


    retorted.


    Just then, Mrs. Jones shot Henry Jones a look, “Your Uncle Daniel and Aunt Hannah are here too.


    Don’t you have some coboration with their daughter?”


    In one way or another, he had to give them some form of respect.


    “Oh?” Henry turned and saw Daniel and Hannah. A sinister smile formed from the corner of his lips as


    he said, “In that case, let us stay for a meal. For Lacey’s sake of course.”


    “Come, let us sit and enjoy the meal together.”


    Henry had a change of heart because he wanted to exact revenge on the couple Daniel and Hannah.


    When they were kids, Lacey Hinton was always the pretty and popr kid in the neighborhood. Henry


    also courted her before.


    However, Daniel felt that they were not suitable for each other and repeatedly rejected Henry from


    pursuing his daughter.


    This left a bitter taste in Henry’s mouth, and he resented her father for it.


    Thus, Henry had an ulterior motive to work with Lacey Hinton. He wanted to court her again.


    Unexpectedly he found out that she was attached only after they had signed the contract.


    That infuriate him, and he did not take it all too well. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
