Chapter 16 The Engagement
Chapter 16 The Engagement
After all, Anne was a famous star and had experienced a lot. Since Mr. Henry had said that, she couldn't say no. She smiled and said to Kelley, "Let's go to have dinner together. What do you like to eat?"
With a polite smile on Kelley's face, Kelley replied, "Miss Anne, you're welcome. How can I have dinner with you in my identity? I'm leaving now, in case of disturbing you." After saying that, Kelley turned around and walked away in a direction. In fact, she didn't know where to go. She just wanted to disappear as soon as possible. She didn't want to see Henry or Anne anymore. She needed to heal herself in one place.
Looking at the receding figure of Kelley ran away, Anne was somewhat confused. She had always been the only superstar who gave others a hard time, but now it was a girl's turn to give her a hard time.
This time, Henry didn't pester Kelley anymore. He walked to his car, opened the door and got in. Instead of starting the car, he tapped the steering wheel with his slender fingers and smiled. His little wife was jealous, and she was really jealous. It was so interesting. He hadn't seen such an interesting woman for a long time.
Anne sat on the passenger seat next to Henry and said timidly, "Mr. Henry." Looking at the mysterious expression on Henry face, Anne couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She had known him for more than a month. This man was arrogant, domineering and tyrannical. He could say all kinds of sweet words when he was happy, and when he was unhappy, he would lose his temper and put on a long face. But no matter how close she was to him, Anne always felt that she didn't know him well.
This was a man who looked direct but actually too deep and unpredictable. Henry suddenly appeared in H Country, she couldn't get any information about him, but she was shocked by him again and again.
With superb business talent, strong financial support, and complex social relations, his huge business seemed to have crossed several countries.
Withdrawing his thoughts to Kelley, Henry started the car, turned around and said to Anne, "I'll drive you home and ask the nanny to cook dinner for you. Don't wait for me tonight. "
Anne nodded. She had been used to the man's arrangement, but she was so willing to listen to his arrangement. Every time she thought that he was her fiance, Anne felt very sweet and warm in her heart. How many years would it take in her previous life to stand with him now?
Henry drove the car and sent Anne to a quiet villa. This villa was more luxurious than the private house of Leng Family. It was a gift Henry bought for Anne on the engagement day. This was also the home that Henry had just mentioned. However, it was Anne's home, not Henry's.
Engagement and marriage were only one step away, but that was the step. It seemed to be a small step, but sometimes it was a huge step. Henry stopped the car. After Anne got off the car, Henry started the car immediately and left the villa in a few seconds. Anne stared blankly at the direction where Henry left. Why did she feel so far away from him?
After leaving Anne's villa, the car kept returning to Henry's own residence. It was a private manor that covered an area of tens of thousands of hectares. Inside the manor, there was a luxurious single villa designed by a famous European designer, some beautiful private garden, and some mysterious places that were not known by outsiders.
Outside the gate of the private manor, a silver sports car had already been waiting for him. Henry drove to the gate. The carefully made gate of a special material opened automatically as if it was telepathized. Henry slowed down the car and drove towards the garage of the manor, followed closely by the silver sports car.
When Henry came out of the garage, the man in a suit standing next to the silver sports car quickly came up to him and said, "Mr. Henry, I have sorted out all the documents you want."
Henry raised his hand and patted the man on the shoulder. "John, go inside and talk."
John nodded and followed Henry into the grand villa. They went upstairs and stopped at the outermost door of the second floor. After opening the door with the fingerprint identification system, Henry pushed the door open and walked in. It was a very spacious study. Behind the desk made of first-class wood, there was a black, wide and soft chair.
Henry walked to the chair and sat down. He lazily leaned against the back of the soft chair, crossed his legs, raised his head and closed his eyes, looking very relaxed. He slowly asked John, "How's the investigation going?"
John stood aside respectfully and replied, "I've checked all the files and background information of Miss Anne, but I haven't found anything you're interested in. Perhaps... Maybe the rumor has exaggerated it. " Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Henry sat lazily on the wide and soft chair behind the desk. He shook his body slightly, seeming to be lazy, but in fact, he was carefully calculating in his mind. He had personally tested John's character and ability, and he knew that a fool would never be his assistant for so many years. Since John had said that he hadn't found out anything about it, then it was really impossible to find it out. It was a pity that he had spent so much effort to play such an engagement drama. He didn't get anything.
After keeping silent for more than a minute, Henry suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight from the seat, turned the seat under his body and said to John, "It's OK you can't find it out. At that time, I just thought it was fun, maybe it's really an unrealistic rumor... Let's get to the point. I asked you to check the information of those companies. Bring it to me. "
John took out a small disk from his suit pocket and put it on the desk in front of Henry. "Mr. Henry, all the information is in this. Please have a look."
Henry leaned his body slightly and opened a drawer. He took out a thin laptop from it. It looked ordinary, but in fact, it was not ordinary at all. He put the disk into the computer, and the computer quickly read the data on it. On the screen of the computer, there were many tables quickly flashing, which carried huge data. Not to mention that others, John, he was the most capable assistant of Henry and it was a little difficult to deal with these data.
Henry narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the huge data on the computer screen. Not long after, he found something wrong. Without any analysis and statistics tools, with his extraordinary self- awareness and years of training experience, he quickly found the loopholes in this pile of data. These loopholes were the attacking points that he took back those enterprises.
