Chapter 507 Manuel''S Threat
Chapter 507 Manuel''s Threat
Susan got into Henry''s car.
The air fell into dead silence as Susan unusually chose to keep her mouth shut.
While driving, Henry felt like speaking. But after some consideration, he held it back.
Now there was a real embarrassment between them.
Meanwhile, he also worried that Susan would ask him for the reason why he refused to sleep with her.
So he would rather keep silent on the way.
The car stopped for a few times on the road and then kept going.
Suddenly, Henry''s phone rang.
He picked it up, "Hello?"
"This is Manuel speaking. Come to my office when you return."
Henry turned into a serious expression.
Manuel was his superior, for which he had been bearing a grudge.
"OK."
Then the phone was hung up.
Susan noticed the change in his expression.
"Manuel told me toe to his office when I return."
"What for?"
"He didn''t tell."
"Are you driving me home now?" watching outside the window, Susan spected.
"Yes."
"Head for the office first. I am feeling much better now." Said Susan.
Henry turned to look at her.
Susan exinedposedly, "I don''t wanna get your work dyed. Besides, my dad doubted if I was
sick. I gotta go to his office and show him how I look."
"... OK." Henry nodded.
Meanwhile, he was rather aware that her feelings for Manuel started changing bit by bit.
He swore he would never let it happen.
Then he kept driving in silence.
As they arrived, Susan went to her dad''s office while Henry to Manuel''s.
Henry pushed the door open and saw Manuel working on his desk.
Before Manuel started to work here, Henry had been praised as an excellent example of diligence and
great capability. However, since Manuel was inducted into the office, more and more people started to
shift theirpliments to him.
He knew Manuel was here on purpose to rob him of glory from the office.
He walked over to sit opposite him, "Mr Johnson, what can I do for you?"
"Well." Manuel simply nodded while typing swiftly.
He got to admit that he was stunned when seeing how fast Manuel typed.
He wouldn''t believe it if it weren''t for the fact that he saw it with his own eyes.
But then he faked aposed look as if he noticed nothing and simply sat still to wait for Manuel.
After tying up the loose ends, Manuel turned off theptop and spoke to Henry, "Let me go straight to
the topic. We have offered you a lot to persuade you to break up with Susan. As for the money and the
immovable property, just take them as a free gift for you. However, as for the fixed shares of 20%, you
should return them after you restart your rtionship with Susan."
Henry sneered to reply, "How despicable you are!"
"It''s fair trade." Manuel refuted coldly.
"Fair trade? You mean asking for what you have promised to give away a kind of fair trade?" Henry
mocked.
"You know the limitation to owning the shares." Manuel went straight to the point.
Sulky, Henry couldn''t help recalling the fact that he left Susan alonest night just because of those
terms of limitation.
"She went to my homest night." With no concern about his feelings, Manuel continued frankly.
Clenching his fists hard, Henry struggled to control himself. However, anger was still umting from
the inside.
"Of course, she went into the wrong ce just because she was drunk. But I am sure it won''t
undermine your rtionship. However, if you insist on refusing Susan''s desire for the sake of the
shares, I am afraid your rtionship with her won''tst long."

"Aren''t you having a crush on her?" Henry didn''t respond. Instead, he questioned.
"Just be frank. Don''t waste the time."
"If you love her, how are you gonna sit by when she wanna sleep with me? So, Manuel, you are the
same just like me-the wealth of the Phillips is what you only ask for."
Manuel didn''t refute this time.
He actually nodded, "You''re right. I used to believe that I can get Phillips Group as long as I win her
heart. But she disappointed me. So I change my strategy. Listen up, the Phillips Bank is meant to be
mine. If you and Susan wanna take it away, you are both wee in thepetition."
"You are overestimating yourself. Do you think Edward will give you thepany for the sake of your
mom? You''re so pathetic. Whatever happens, Susan will inherit everything." Henry gritted to refute.
"No one knows who will be the final win before the end arrives. The talk is to make you consider the
shares. Come to me again when you figure it out. Now just go away."
With a sulky face, Henry stood up to leave.
But then he asked, "Manuel, are you sure you reserve no feelings for her anymore?"
"No," Manuel answered firmly.
Henry stared at his face, where he found no hesitation.
He had been disdaining Manuel, despising him as a coward.
But now it turned out that he was much more unpredictable than he had ever expected.
…
Hannah was a bit upset on Tuesday because Oscar was leaving tomorrow morning.
The time to spend together with him felt much shorter than expected while the duration of departure felt
much longer.
Sitting in the office, Hannah dialled Oscar''s number.
"Honey?" Oscar answered as usual.
Now Hannah was used to the way he addressed her.
"Will you work overtime tonight?"
"No. But there is a social dinner tonight and there follows a second asion after that. I will be back
ASAP."
"Okay." Hannah sounded rather upset.
She had decided not to work overtime and spent the night together with him before he left tomorrow.
However, she didn''t expect Oscar got some social asions to attend.
"My flight tomorrow is at 10 AM. I can drive you to the office first before heading to the airport." Oscar
noticed her upset.
Luckily, this time, at least she knew Oscar wouldn''t be leaving before she woke up.
"Why is the flight sote this time?" she asked out of curiosity.
"Because I don''t wanna leave you."
"So you mean you wanna leave me back into the old days?"
"No…you will know why someday." Oscar didn''t answer directly.
She hated it when he tried to fudge it. However, she didn''t expect Oscar did have his reasons.
