Chapter 409 Henry''s Identity
"Do you know why I suddenly forced Susan to marry me? I didn''t want to be the bad guy to destroy
their rtionship." Said Manuel suddenly.
Hannah was confused but she listened with full attention.
With her understanding of Manuel, he was not the sort that would destroy others'' rtionships, no
matter how much he loved Susan.
"When Susan and Henry were about to get married, a girl came to me. She waited for me at the gate of
the Phillips Manor. I don''t know how long she waited. Anyway, when I went back that day, she stopped
me and said she had something to tell me. I didn''t know who she was. But she knew my name, so I
went with her. She imed that she was Henry''s younger sister, but they weren''t rted by blood. She
said she and Henry were both adopted."
"Henry doesn''t have a father, does he?" Hannah couldn''t help but ask.
"Yeah, I asked the same question. Her answer was that Henry used to have a father. The name of his
father was Barry Anderson."
"This name seems to be a little familiar." Hannah murmured.
"The Anderson family. It was not among the four strong powers, but it was rather famous at that time.
The TV brand of SkyRainbow was created by theirpany. With a market share of at least 80%, the
brand once monopolized in the television industry in Northfield. It was almost a household name."
Manuel exined.
Hannah finally recalled it, "Now I remember. That''s a big TVpany. I remember my family used TVs
produced by thispany."
"Yes, it was the most popr one. But with the development of society, TVs have changed dramatically,
such as the appearance ofwork TV, LCD TV, and RPTV and so on. However, SkyRainbow did not
make any progress. It relied on its branding and continued to produce the old-technology TVs that they
thought had a low maintenance rate. Soon, their TVs were driven out of the market. They didn''t realize
that people were pursuing new things. Over time, thispany was about to go bankrupt."
"And then?"
"At that time, Barry just took over this family business from his father. He was still young, so he soon
had his own ideas and started to research and develop new technologies. Soon, thepany
performed better in the industry. However, he didn''t expect that thepany, which was on the verge
of bankruptcy, didn''t have the necessary cash to operate at all. So Barry wanted to borrow money from
Phillips Bank. He and Edward happened to be ssmates in the past, so he took advantage of this
rtionship and wanted to get a loan from Phillips."
"The Phillips Bank didn''t grant a loan to him?" Hannah spected.
"It would be fine if the Phillips Bank just refused to grant a loan. At that time, Edward agreed without
any hesitation, so Barry didn''t go to other banks for a loan. He was too sure that Phillips would grant a
loan to him, so he continued to develop the technology. However, when Barry needed the money, he
was refused by Edward. Edward was supposed to lend that amount of money to him, but he lent it to
otherpanies. In the end, Barrypletely ran out of cash and became heavily in debt at once."
Hannah fell silent. She found that things were getting moreplicated.
"Without cash, Barry''s father had to sell the new technology developed by them, so they could reduce
debts. But you know, at that time, Barry attached great importance to this technology and refused to
sell it. He was confident that he could make a lot of money with it. But his father had lost his will to try
hard. Besides, his father didn''t believe in him. So he sold the technology without permission of Barry. In
a fit of rage, Barry jumped off a building and died on the spot."
Hannah was a little frightened, staring at Manuel with her eyes wide open.
Manuel said, "You said that Edward also jumped off a building and died. I think Henry had forced him to
do so in the same way."
Hannah nodded in agreement.
"That''s not the end of the story." Said Manuel, "Do you know who bought this technology in the end?"
"Who?"
"The current home appliances tycoon Felix Grant. Hispany is the Good Luck House Appliance
Company Limited." Said Manuel, "After a thorough investigation, I finally get to know that Edward holds
Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
30% of the shares of the Good Luck House Appliance. So..."
"So Edward tricked Barry in the past?"
"If my spection is correct, the truth should be like this. Felix must be very interested in the
technology Barry developed, so he went to Edward, asking Edward to break his promise and not grant
the loan to SkyRainbow, so they could force the Anderson family to sell them the technology. In
exchange, Felix gave Edward some shares."
Hannah did not know what to say. Sometimes, business people would do many despicable things for
the sake of profit. But it never urred to her that Edward, who she had always believed to be nice
and kind, would do such a thing.
"After Barry''s death, the Anderson family was devastated. Barry''s wife abandoned her 10-year-old son
and left. Barry''s parents were overly sad because of his death and soon died of illness. Barry''s son,
Henry, whose original name was Henry Anderson, became an orphan and waster adopted by a
family. Then, his family name was changed to Parker. However, young Henry was too stubborn and just
refused to call his foster parents dad and mom. His foster parents were angry and sent him back to the
orphanage. After that, Henry grew up there. And his sister, who was not rted by blood, apanied
him in the orphanage. They always had a good rtionship. Until Henry came to Susan." Manuel
looked at Hannah and said, "You know what happenedter."
Hannah nodded and said, "So Henry approached Susan with the purpose of revenge."
"When Barry died, Henry was 10 years old and could understand everything. So he knows very well
how he lost his father and who his enemies are. I don''t know if Henry knows that Edward didn''t grant
the loan because he had secretly colluded with the Good Luck House Appliance now, but he will get to
know it. Of course, even if he never knows anything about it, he would hate Edward for the rest of his
life for going back on his word in the past." Said Manuel.
"So Henry is a victim." Hannah couldn''t help but say.
"Yes." Manuel agreed, "That''s why I didn''t tell Susan the truth, even if I know Henry has an evil
intention. If Susan knows the truth, she will definitely ce righteousness above family. However, just
as you said, Susan loves her father. After relying on each other for so many years, Susan has a deep
affection for Edward. If she helped Henry take away the Phillips Bank, she wouldn''t be able to ept it,
either. She would only make herself break down. If Edward was cornered and thereforemitted
suicide like in your previous life, she might end up exactly like what you said."
