So Ellen and Ellen's mother always find a way to impose this marriage on Erina. Erina Miller has a boyfriend, Marcus Charles. Her youth was devoted to Marcus. They both love and respect each other. Just because of the family's debt, she accepts to give up love to marry someone she has never met.

After seeing that her brother-in-law is a handsome man who always pampers and loves Erina, she feels extremely regretful. Both Ellen and Martha were jealous of Erina. They all assumed that, without Erina's appearance, Henry would belong to them. So, Ellen and Martha co-operate together, planning to divide Henry and Erina. During a drunken Henry, they accidentally overheard Henry talking to you. It turned out that Henry had just discovered that the old benefactor who saved him from the fire was Erina's father ā his wife. In his drunkenness, Henry hugged his friend and sobbed. He wondered if he should tell Erina the truth, or hide it from Erina. Because he was afraid that, if Erina found out, would she be able to forgive him.

They showed her the recording of the conversation between Henry and his friend. She still couldn't believe what she heard. The husband who hugs her every night, shoulder to shoulder with her, is the one who makes her father leave her forever? She didn't want to believe it, but the voice belonged to her husband. She tried to stay calm, as if nothing had happened. She returned home with a heavy heart. To this day, she still doesn't want to believe the recording... But, she knew well, it was his voice. He still cares and takes care of her. But she could not receive this attention as usual. As she knew well, he was the one who indirectly caused her father's death. She still loves him, but she can't accept this fact. She decided to divorce, and decided to leave him.... The divorce paper was still on the table, but Henry refused to sign, because he still did not know what the reason for her divorce was. She refused to speak out, just quietly moving away. To a small city. When she left him, she discovered that she was pregnant. At this time, she was even more sad because her child did not have a complete family. Despite rummaging in Nancy and Paris, he still couldn't find her. It has been a month since she left, but he had not found any news about her. Returning home after a long string of tiredness, exhaustion of finding her. He accidentally saw a small recorder in the corner of the cabinet. It turned out, she knew everything... He remembered that she once said she wished to live in a small house in the city. It was a wooden house, surrounded by flowers, and there was a small garden. A life is simple enough for her to feel peaceful. He went to the house she described. It is true that she is there, in a white wooden house, surrounded by colorful flowers. Seeing her, he was happy, running to hug her. But she quickly escaped from the light, ran into the house to close. Throughout that night, he still knelt in the yard, always apologizing to her, despite the rain outside. He gradually told everything in the past, and begged her to forgive. Seeing his sincerity, she accepted his apology. Anyway, her father's death was completely not due to him, but because her father had fulfilled the obligations of a firefighter. And she also wants when her child is born, there will be a complete happy family.
Chapter 1 Grand Opening.
The 8th shopping mall of The World group.
Crisp applause, jubilant firecrackers, two unicorns in front dancing wildly. Today, The World group opened a new branch, the person cutting the ribbon is Henry Smith - general director of The World group.
The long line of guests entered in turn, shook hands with the general manager and said:
"Congratulations! Congratulations!"
Henry still kept his cold face, standing neatly in the middle, wearing a milky white suit, and black western shoes on his feet. The handsome face, tall body, smooth white skin, black eyes but the eyes seem cold, bearing the beauty of a European man.
"Thank you. Please come in."
A man in his fifties slowly entered, with a radiant face, a smiling mouth, and a wave of gray hair, approached and patted Henry on the shoulder, repeatedly nodding in praise:
"You did a great job! Under your guidance, the corporation is growing day by day. Congratulations to you."
Henry still kept the same cold face, his face did not change at all. Since childhood, he has always been an introvert, with little contact with others, so his answers always make people think he is arrogant. Just like today, even though many people have praised or congratulated him, his face still cannot show a smile, his face is cold and scary.
It seems that on that face, whether sad or happy, there is an aspect, no change at all. His answers were always as concise as possible. Because he has suffered from ptsd (Posttraumatic stress disorder) since childhood, still can't get out of his shell.
Of course, he still respected Uncle Maximus, so he politely answered.
"Thanks you."
Maximus was famous in the field of fine art pottery, a close friend of Henry's father. Maximus is an experienced battle tiger in the business arena. Although not in the same field, but Maximus and his father always help each other financially and spiritually.
"Where is your father? Did your father not come?"
Henry still kept his cold face and replied:
"My dad was busy today, so only Jaden and I came here. "
A man stepped out from the center. Handsome face, radiant smile, ruddy skin, confident walking, tall figure. He wears a blue suit, inside is a white shirt that looks quite stylish. It was Henry's younger brother - Jaden Smith. If Henry is a large cold iceberg, Jaden is the gentle spring sunshine that warms everyone around.
Maximus was quite surprised to see Jaden appear. Also because normally, Jaden's style is always free, with jeans, a T-shirt, and a thin shirt. But today, Jaden is wearing a full suit, looking quite stylish and mature.
Jaden stepped closer, warmly shook Maximus's hand and said hello.
"Hello, Uncle Maximus, here you come."
Maximus smiled brightly, patting Jaden's toned shoulder.
"Jaden, are you here too?"
After the greeting, Maximus went into the shopping mall to visit.
In the middle of the crowd, he saw a pretty girl wearing a blue business suit walking towards Henry. The girl was quite tall, walking confidently. But this girl is quite special with a cold face, always avoiding everyone's attention.
She is Anna's secretary to the CEO and is also an effective hand to support Henry in today's fiercely competitive business arena. She leaned into Henry's ear and whispered:
"General manager, the technical team is having a problem and needs you to return to the company to solve it."
A slight nod from Henry made Anna understand, leaving to prepare the car.
A shiny brown Mercedes came to a stop right in front of the great hall. Henry coldly left the mall, without saying goodbye.
Secretary Anna opened the car door: "General director, please come in."
He quickly got into the car, it seems that from the beginning of the party until now his face has not changed. Really worthy of the nickname that the business world has given him. He is talented, a young man who is always in the top of successful domestic and international entrepreneurs, but because he is so cold, people in the industry often call him "Ice tiger".
His eyes were glazed over in one direction, his expressionless face really couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Secretary Anna just heard the phone call, her eyes immediately looked at his face in the mirror and said hesitantly:
"General director, this time the 'love watch' project has a technical problem. I don't know why, I have carried out all the stages according to the correct process but still have not achieved the quality as originally planned."
Henry still did not react at all and remained silent. After a while, he spoke up:
"Contact the meeting preparation department."
At The World group, directors and heads of departments were already sitting in the meeting room. Henry entered, his ice cold face was enough to scare everyone in the meeting room.
Everyone stood up and bowed their heads: "Hi, General director."
Henry walked over to the chair in the center, unbuttoned his vest and slowly sat down. With a glance at the roll call, then solemnly chaired the meeting:
"Okay, everyone get down. Each part begins to present. Each presentation in seven minutes is brief, concise, and complete."
A clock was placed directly on the table. It was just an ordinary alarm clock, but in Henry's hands, it became powerful. It makes all the members sitting in the meeting room sweat.
He sat in the swivel chair, eyes still looking up at the projector, ears still listening. When he worked very seriously and his cold face was enough to put pressure on others. Although all reports gave him dissatisfaction, but his face remained unchanged, his voice was full of calm:
"I spent money to hire you guys to work, but now you only have this much? What I need is a love watch that can measure the other person's heart rate, know if the other person is safe, and importantly, have a locator function."
The head of the planning department trembled, stood up on the spot, bowed his head and said:
"Dear Director, achieving those things is really difficult and requires a lot of sophistication."
