Ch. 1381..1390

Chapter 1381

"Honey... Don't worry. Even if I really leave my family, I won't need you to take care of me," Henry Armstrong said.

"I have my own independently established company... I also own shares in many large, medium, and small enterprises. Apart from that, I also have my professional gaming team... As well as countless savings...

"I have accumulated all these things on my own. Back when I first started as an entrepreneur, my father only gave me 100 million... I've returned him 100 million on top of the interest owed to him long ago... Now, everything under my name belongs to me," Henry continued to speak.

"I don't care about these things... As long as you lower your spending standards, I can still afford to look after you for a lifetime," Georgie Clementine said.

Henry chuckled as he ruffled Georgie's hair. "You really are different from other girls... What kind of female goddess are you?"

Georgie shrugged nonchalantly. There was a curious look in her eyes. "Only... Are you really willing to go this far for me?"

Henry nodded without hesitation. "To be honest, before knowing you, I thought all of my possessions were extraordinarily important...

"But after getting to know you, I suddenly stopped thinking this way... Now, to me... Money, fame, and status can't compare to you, Georgie..." Henry said with a serious look in his eyes.

His words instantly touched Georgie, and her eyes turned red.

At such a critical moment, Henry's decisiveness had touched her.

"Will you regret giving up so much for me?" Georgie asked again.

"No, I won't..." Henry nodded assuredly.

Due to Henry's expressions, Georgie's heart was touched, and she felt safe.

She was in love with the right person.

At that moment, Georgie also suddenly changed her mind. "Since... Since you're willing to go this far for me... I'll take back what I said before..." "What is it?" Henry asked.

"I'm willing to figure out a way with you to convince your parents to accept me... You don't have to convince your parents on your own..." Georgie said. Love worked both ways...

Since Henry was willing to sacrifice to such an extent for her, Georgie shouldn't be selfish either...

He was willing to let go of everything. So in that case, why couldn't she let go of her pride for him? Georgie couldn't be so selfish.

"The only thing is... I already treated your mother so horribly earlier... I'm not sure if your mother will still want to see me again... " Georgie added.

At first, Georgie thought letting go of her pride was even harder than flying...

However, to her surprise, Henry's words had convinced her to do so without even thinking about it.

She seemed to love this person even more than she imagined.

Georgie didn't hope that Henry would be the only person sacrificing for this relationship.

The best outcome was for Henry to have her and his family.

Georgie didn't want Henry to end up leaving his family...

After all, the pain of leaving his loved ones behind would be tremendous to Henry.

To be honest, humans behaved like this most of the time. Decisions made in person were usually different from those made over phone calls...

One would unknowingly soften their heart because they saw the face of the person they loved deeply and heard that person's voice.

Even a heart of steel would turn into something soft and bendable.

Chapter 1382

Chapter 1382

"Are you really willing to do that?" Henry Armstrong had a look of disbelief in his eyes. He felt deeply touched and exhilarated.

He wasn't clueless about how proud Georgie Clementine could be as a person.

She had always had an enormous ego.

Georgie must love him a lot to make such a decision.

"Hmm..." Georgie nodded. "Since you're willing to sacrifice for me, I'll naturally want to sacrifice for you too... If setting my ego aside and appeasing your parents can keep things together for us, I'm willing to do it..." Georgie said.

Henry hugged her even tighter. "Honey... Do you love me this much already?"

"I didn't think I would either..." Georgie laughed bitterly.

"I'm very happy." At this moment, Henry truly wished their bodies were one.

"Don't get proud just yet. Even if I love you, I'll still kick you away if you're not good to me..." Georgie said seriously.

"Yes, yes... I won't be proud... I won't be proud..." Although Henry said he wasn't proud, he was feeling immensely proud on the inside. It was driving him crazy.

"Bring me to your house sometime on another day. First, I'll apologize to your mother. Also, we'll try to discuss further with your parents... I'll try my best to make them accept me... And lessen the sacrifice you have to make..." Georgie said.

"No... I'll talk to them on my own," Henry said.

Although Georgie was willing to do it, Henry wasn't...

He didn't want Georgie to be humiliated because of him in any way.

His parents already disagreed with their decision, to begin with. On top of that, Georgie had even offended his mother. Even without thinking it through, Henry knew that his parents would treat Georgie harshly if he really brought her home...

"Listen to me..." Georgie said dominantly. Her tone was determined, and she wouldn't take no for an answer.

"Alright, alright. I'll listen to you... In that case, let's wait for my mother to calm down for the next two days. After that, I'll take you home..." Since directly refusing Georgie wouldn't work, he decided to stall her.. He was prepared to return home later and talk to his parents.

He would fight for a perfect answer for everything.

If it worked, it worked. If it didn't, he'd leave his family on his own accord...

Once everything was done and dusted, he'd tell Georgie about it...

Henry wouldn't allow his woman to stoop down for anyone, even if they were his parents.

As a man, he felt it was his duty and responsibility to protect his woman.

Meanwhile, his woman would only need to shine brightly.

Georgie thought that Henry's suggestion made sense. Hence, she nodded.

"Honey, are you hungry?" Henry asked.

"Yeah..." Initially, Georgie was feeling fed up, and she wasn't hungry in the least bit.

But now, after having resolved many things with Henry through their discussions, she felt her mood had recovered. She was also starting to feel hungry.

"In that case, shall we go to that Japanese restaurant you mentioned before?" Henry asked carefully.

"Okay," Georgie said.

***

After having dinner with Georgie and sending her home, he drove back to the Armstrong family's large mansion.

When he walked through the door, there wasn't a single maid in the huge living room.

His mother was the only person who sat coldly in front of the television.

Seeing Henry walking in from the corner of her eyes, her expression instantly turned even colder...

When Henry saw this, he quickly stepped forward and sat next to her on a one-seater couch. After that, he crossed one leg over the other before lighting a cigarette and taking a puff at it...

Chapter 1383

Chapter 1383

After exhaling the smoke in his mouth, Henry Armstrong was about to speak...

However, before he could speak, his mother forcefully slammed the transparent glass of milk in her hands on the coffee table... The glass of milk was half-full.

Because of her actions, a lot of the milk was spilled.

However, Henry remained calm. There wasn't any emotion in his eyes.

"Henry, where did you find that woman? She's so impolite and ruthless... She looks nothing like a good wife or kind mother.

"No... What do you like about this woman? Do you know how bad that woman's attitude toward me was today?

"She actually implied that I was very b*tchy... Never mind this. She even acted high and mighty, and she was unusually arrogant..." She said.

The more Henry's mother spoke, the angrier she became. The vein on her neck was bulging...

She had never been treated like this by anyone in her life!

Georgie was the first!

"Let it go... I understand her well enough... She's someone who respects elders a lot. If you hadn't said something inappropriate, she wouldn't have reacted to you that way...

"Did you say she implied you were very b*tchy? That must have been because you said that to her first..." Henry didn't spare his mother any humiliation. Instead, he was straightforward with his words... After saying that, Henry took another deep puff at his cigarette.

His mother instantly became speechless...

Seeing that she wasn't speaking, Henry felt even more sure about his thoughts.

Henry knew his mother's temper all too well.

Although he didn't get to ask Georgie about many details, he could imagine what happened.

"If you disagree with our relationship, that's fine. But calling her a b*tch is a little too much..." Henry said and frowned.

Henry's mother instantly felt uncomfortable. The flame of anger in her heart also grew more intense. "You really are my good son. You haven't even married that b*tch, and you're already behaving like this... What if you really marry that woman? Will I even get to have a say in this family?

"Once you've found a woman, you forget about all your mother..." Henry's mother said through gritted teeth.

"I'm just addressing the matter as it is, alright... Can't you accept criticism for your bad behavior?" Henry said.

"You..." Henry's mother said.

"I came home today to clarify things with you... I will marry Georgie and nobody else. If you disagree with us being together, that's fine... I'll leave this home," Henry said.

"What did you say?" Henry's mother had a look of disbelief in her eyes.

Henry shrugged nonchalantly. "You heard me. This is what I think..."

Initially, Henry had wanted to have a proper discussion with his mother before coming home...

But after hearing how she called Georgie a b*tch, he instantly felt demotivated to discuss anything with her.

Hence, he toughened up...

"You... You..." Henry's mother was so angry she couldn't speak anymore. So instead, she pointed angrily at Henry's face as her face turned red. Clap, clap, clap...

Right then, sounds of crisp clapping could be heard.

Henry immediately looked up in the direction where the sound came from...

He could see his sister, Jenny Armstrong, standing at the bottom of the staircase as she clapped for him.

Jenny was wearing a white-laced skirt with her ponytail tied high up. There was a look of approval in her eyes.

Her gaze was extremely pure. At one glance, she looked like a noble, clean doll.

"Brother... What you said was wonderful. I'll give you a like!" Jenny quickly raised her thumb at Henry.

Henry's mother became even angrier. In fact, she was beginning to doubt her life. "Jenny! Are you mad? Are you going against me too?"

Chapter 1384

Chapter 1384

Jenny Armstrong shook her head helplessly. "Is there anything wrong with me going against you?"

With that, Jenny blinked innocently.

"You..." Henry's mother was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Henry Armstrong winked at Jenny with his right eye and raised his chin slightly. There was a look of approval written on his face...

After that, Jenny slowly walked over to Henry's side and sat on the arm of his couch.

After flicking her recently polished pink nails with diamonds on them, Jenny naturally crossed one leg over the other. "You don't have to be so upset... I overheard what you told Dad...

"You called her a b*tch and asked her to get lost. So what if Georgie criticized you?

"To be honest, I think what Dad said was right. Georgie had every right to criticize you.

"If you don't like her, you can reason with logic. You didn't have to say mean things, did you?" Jenny said.

After saying that, she naturally leaned her body against Henry.

As the youngest girl in the Armstrong family, Jenny had always been adored by everyone in the family since she was a kid.

This was especially the case for Henry. Because of the vast age gap between him and his sister, he'd always been particularly protective and fond of her.

Henry was an utterly devoted brother to Jenny. He spoiled her endlessly.

Although Jenny had just celebrated her eighteenth birthday, and she was already an adult, she still had a child-like personality because she'd gotten used to being spoiled since she was a kid.

In front of Henry, she would often act like his 'daughter'...

Hearing what Jenny said, Henry instantly felt much better...

At the very least, he still had Jenny's support in this family.

Meanwhile, although his father disagreed with him and Georgie dating, he was still quite a reasonable person.

"Jenny, I've really spoiled you rotten! Is this how you should speak to me?" Henry's mother had a dissatisfied look in her eyes.

"What's wrong with my attitude? I was just speaking based on facts... To be honest, I initially didn't feel anything toward my brother's girlfriend. However, after hearing how you described meeting Georgie to Dad... I feel that she really is something.

"I suddenly understand why Henry insists on being with Georgie despite there being so many pretty models in Atlantis...

"Who wouldn't like a cool and beautiful lady like her?" Jenny enunciated her words. She was praising Georgie like there was no tomorrow.

Jenny's words were extremely pleasant for Henry to listen to. However, his distinctly black-and-white, peach-shaped eyes were filled with a glimmer.

In the next second, Henry immediately raised her thumb at Jenny.

The siblings' behavior made Henry's mother even angrier.

"Jenny... You're a traitor... I've always adored you since you were a kid, and this is how you turned out? So you'd rather stand with an outsider than your mother?" Henry's mother couldn't get any more upset than this...

Her hatred toward Georgie Clementine also deepened.

She felt that Georgie was a cunning fox. Not only did Georgie easily steal her son away, but Georgie even convinced her son to forget about her.

Georgie even convinced her daughter to act like her son. They were both behaving in an extremely odd way!

Chapter 1384

Chapter 1385

Chapter 1385

Apart from hate, Henry's mother also began to feel jealous of Georgie Clementine.

"I'm just stating the facts... You were so mean with your words. Apart from genuinely feeling Georgie doesn't deserve your son, you also feel a little jealous of her, don't you?

"That's because Henry is willing to go against you for her. That's why you feel dissatisfied... You feel that you've lost your place in your son's heart..." Jenny Armstrong didn't hold back what she said. Her personality had always been like this.

Whether Jenny was speaking to her family members or outsiders, she'd always spoken her mind. She never beat around the bush.

This was also because she'd always been adored by her family.

Children who their family adored were usually not afraid of anything.

Henry Armstrong was like this, and Jenny was even more so...

Ever since Jenny was a kid, she'd do whatever she wanted because she had her parents' absolute adoration. If she didn't like someone, she'd speak her mind about it. She ignored everything else... Jenny's words were like a knife to Henry's mother.

It instantly cut her fake skin open, exposing all the dark sides in her heart under the sunlight.

At this instant, Henry's mother increasingly felt that there was no way for her to salvage her dignity.

However, she still pretended to be calm. Then, with her fists clenched tightly, she looked at Jenny angrily. "You... You really are going against me... Am I this kind of person in your heart?"

"Haven't you always been like this? You always asked Henry if he would forget about you after getting married. What kind of person asked questions like this? It's usually someone who can't stand her son being nice to another woman..." Jenny said.

"Jenny Armstrong, shut up!" Henry's mother yelled softly. She really wanted to slap Jenny, but she couldn't bring herself to do it...

"Mom, this kind of mentality is very abnormal... You should learn from Auntie Lindt... Aren't you friends with Auntie Lindt? There's a saying that birds of a feather flock together. You're so close to Auntie Lindt, but why haven't you learned anything from her?

"Look, what does Auntie Lindt tell her sons? She always tells them that if they don't treat their wives well, they'll end up dead... She's never fought against her daughter-in-law for attention... What about you?" Given an inch, Jenny wanted a mile. She wasn't going to let Henry's mother have her way at all.

After saying that, Jenny finally felt much better...

Jenny's words had won Henry's heart over.

Henry immediately ruffled her hair affectionately. "Jenny is right... Someone really should take some proper lessons from Auntie Lindt... Look at Auntie Lindt. How does she treat her daughter-in-law? And look at her..." Henry said.

"You two are teaming up against me. What's wrong with you?" Henry's mother felt as if she would soon explode.

She couldn't possibly win an argument against the siblings on her own.

Did she still have any status and power in this family?

Were the siblings even being humane?

"How did I end up raising two disrespectful children like you?" Henry's mother complained as she panted. Her fists were clenched tightly.

"You really shouldn't have to feel angry. Constructive criticism is usually not pleasant to hear." Henry's words were like another jab to her wound.

Henry's mother exploded in anger. "Henry Armstrong! Shut up! You two don't have to bother teaming up against me. Nothing you say will change my mind or your father's..."

"It's fine if you don't want to change your mind... I've already made my thoughts clear. Either you and Dad agree with my relationship, or I'll leave this family. I won't change my mind this time... I am willing to give up everything for Georgie..." Henry said.

Jenny immediately raised her thumb at Henry once again. "Brother, you really are so manly..."

Chapter 1386

Chapter 1386

Henry's mother was speechless.

She really was being driven to madness!

She honestly had no idea how she ended up raising two such disobedient children!

The two siblings were saying one thing after another. It gave her a headache.

Right then, Henry's father walked down the stairs with a serious expression on his face.

He kept listening to what they were saying on his way down.

He clearly heard part of what Henry Armstrong and Jenny Armstrong said to their mother...

"Outrageous!" Henry's father stood at the bottom of the staircase and yelled coldly.

Jenny and Henry shut up simultaneously...

Seeing that her savior was here, Henry's mother quickly got up and walked over to Henry's father. She wrapped her arms around his arm and pointed at the siblings. "Honey, they were bullying me...' Henry and Jenny were both speechless.

Henry's father frowned coldly and glared at the siblings. "You too are outrageous! Is this how you should be speaking to your mother? Apologize to your mother right away." Henry didn't say anything.

"What's wrong with our attitude? Aren't we merely stating the facts?" Jenny asked.

Henry's father instantly gave Jenny a look and hinted at her to shut up.

However, Jenny wouldn't listen at all. "We're not wrong... I refuse to apologize."

Henry's father stayed silent.

Henry's mother frowned even deeper. "Honey... Look at them! They're going way over the line!"

"Alright... You go on upstairs. I'll teach them both a lesson..." Henry's father gently patted Henry's mother on the shoulder...

"No way in hell will I believe you..." Henry's mother complained again.

Right then, her stomach was filled with rage, but she had nowhere to vent.

She didn't feel good at all.

"Go upstairs... Listen to me... I'll talk to them properly..." Henry's father was speaking in an even softer tone.

Henry's mother didn't have much patience left. She instantly rolled her eyes at the siblings before heading upstairs.

Seeing their mother leave, Jenny couldn't resist rolling her eyes at their mother.

Meanwhile, Henry pinched his forehead helplessly. Finally, he lit another cigarette and started smoking.

Henry's father let out a long sigh. He walked over to the long couch next to the siblings and sat down.

He had a spiteful look on his face when he pointed at the siblings.

"Can't you two be more humane? Ever since you were children, you'd side with each other whenever an argument came up between you and your mother. You've never judged things objectively, and you've always mindlessly protected each other, treating her like an enemy..." Henry's father said.

"Isn't that only because our mother has never been reasonable since we were kids?" Henry said blatantly.

"Exactly..." Jenny chipped in and nodded repeatedly.

"Even if she's not reasonable, she's still your mother. She's the woman I love the most. You should respect her..." Henry's father instantly became serious.

"Respect is respect, but respecting her doesn't mean we can't challenge her, does it?" Jenny added.

"Precisely..." Henry agreed with Jenny.

Henry's father didn't know what to do with his youngest daughter and second son...

Chapter 1387

Chapter 1387

The parents were to blame for spoiling the two of them too much since they were kids...

The siblings had been spoiled to an unreasonable extent...

"No matter what, you'll have to apologize to your mother later. Don't make her sad..." Henry Armstrong's father said.

"Henry, although your mother says awful things, and she's very extreme when doing certain things, she's only doing it for your best. She doesn't want you to be tricked by a bad woman," Henry's father enunciated each word carefully. His words conveyed how much he loved his son...

"I want to say that Georgie isn't a bad woman. She's successful in her career, she's pretty, and she's capable. The definition of a con-woman doesn't fit her at all..." Before Henry could speak, Jenny Armstrong directly interrupted him.

"Why are you butting in everywhere? Can you shut up?" Henry's father became serious.

"No... I won't. Hit me then..." Jenny said.

Henry's father was speechless.

Henry tried to hold his laughter in and looked at his father. "Jenny isn't wrong... Georgie isn't a liar. Apart from her family background, everything else about her fits your standards."

"Also... Georgie has never initiated anything with me. I was the one who went after her the whole time...

"She didn't even like me at first..." Henry added.

"I know this... But this doesn't eliminate the possibility that she's just trying to lure you into her trap..." Henry's father said.

When talking about Georgie, Henry's father's facial expression seemed unusually stern...

"No..." Henry uttered.

"These days, those women out there have very sophisticated methods. So to get into the higher ranks, they are often capable of doing many unbelievable things..." Henry's father said. "She really isn't like that..." Henry said.

"Regardless of whether that's the case, I still won't agree with you two being together. You being with her doesn't benefit our family at all," Henry's father said.

Henry's father had always been affectionate toward Henry and allowed him to make decisions in most tiny matters...

However, affection and adoration had their limits. Some essential matters couldn't be left to Henry to decide...

A woman being married into the Armstrong family needed to be of the same status. The marriage would have to benefit Armstrong Group and the Armstrong family. "There's no use in disagreeing... I'm going to fight for it till the end this time." Henry's attitude was persistent.

"That's right... I support Henry," Jenny said and nodded determinedly.

Henry's father instantly had a cold expression on his face. "Henry Armstrong, do you know what the consequences of going against me are? Aren't you afraid of losing everything?"

Henry shook his head nonchalantly. "I'm not afraid... The consequences would simply be cutting all ties from the Armstrong family. I don't mind... Even if I must betray the entire world, I will be with Georgie..." "You under-achieving brat. How could you give up everything for a woman?" Henry's father had a look of disbelief in his eyes...

"Yes," Henry answered decisively.

"How is this being under-achieving? Clearly... He is a devoted man... Isn't it better for Henry to be a devoted, dominant CEO rather than the womanizing CEO he was before?" Jenny chipped it.

To be honest, Jenny was helping Henry not just because she had a good impression of Georgie, the future sister-in-law she had never even met...

A large part of it was also because Jenny loved her second brother a lot...

She wanted her second brother to be happy...

As long as her second brother wanted to do something, she would support him all the way.

There were no limits to how she would support him.

Regardless of whether it was right or wrong...

Henry's father was also nearly driven to madness by the siblings. He glared at Jenny angrily. "You're a decent girl, but unfortunately, you've got a big mouth..." "What's the matter? Isn't my mouth pretty? I went to a high-class cosmetician to get my smiley lips done...” Jenny said.

Henry's father was speechless.

Chapter 1388

Chapter 1388

"Dad, I've already made up my mind... You and Mom should think it through. Are you willing to lose me as your son just because you disagree with me being in a relationship with Georgie..." Henry Armstrong's words once again induced an extremely dissatisfied feeling in his father...

However, before Henry's father could speak, Jenny Armstrong started speaking first. "That's right. You and Mom should think it through. If Henry leaves this family, I'll leave too...

"If you oppose this couple, you'll lose a pair of a perfect son and daughter.

"If you approve of this couple, you and Mom will continue to have a perfect pair of son and daughter...

"I don't have to teach you what to choose, do it? You'll really lose a lot if you say anything against their relationship..." Jenny said earnestly. There was a serious look in her eyes.

She had meant the things she said...

Besides, no matter what, she was going to help Henry get what he wanted.

Jenny wanted Henry to be happy.

Whatever Henry wanted to accomplish, it was right...

Jenny blindly admired Henry, and she would blindly follow him.

Henry's father was soon about to have an emotional breakdown from the torture. His entire face turned from black to green and to black again. His breathing also became deeper. "Are you two trying to kill me by making me mad? Perfect son and daughter? Are you two even worthy of that title?"

It was over...

It really was over.

Henry's father regretted spoiling the two of them since they were kids...

What did he end up raising?

"No... We're such good kids. Why would we make you angry? We're just taking a stand... We are perfect... We're excellent in every aspect..." Jenny added.

Kids in families like theirs were destined not to be able to choose who they got married to. Jenny had known this since she was a kid.

Her eldest brother didn't get to decide on his marriage. He ended up marrying a woman he didn't love at all. On the surface, they maintained the image of a loving couple. Behind the scenes, they both slept around with other people. They weren't happy at all...

Jenny didn't want this for her second brother.

If she could fight for her second brother, she would do it...

At least one kid in the Armstrong family needed to be happy.

Jenny felt that her second brother deserved to be happy.

"Kids in the Armstrong family... Have never been allowed to decide on their marriages... Henry Armstrong, if you really do this, don't blame me for being cruel..." Henry's father didn't want to say something like this at first...

However, he didn't have any other choice...

"What are you going to do? Are you going against me in business? Are you going against my future wife?" Henry laughed bitterly.

"That's right... Don't think you can truly be happy just because you leave the Armstrong family..." Henry's father added.

"Give it all you've got... I'm not afraid..." Since Henry had already decided and told his parents about it, he was prepared to brace the storm...

Henry believed that he was capable of dealing with everything that would come.

No matter how large the waves, Henry wouldn't be defeated.

With that, Henry stood up and stormed out.

He didn't want to continue talking nonsense.

Jenny didn't stop him. Instead, she silently clenched her fists.

"Henry, get back here..." Henry's father yelled.

He brought Henry up himself. Was Henry going to walk out on him like this now?

He already spoke in such a manner, but Henry still ignored him!

What kind of magic potion did that woman feed Henry?

However, Henry acted as if he didn't hear anything. He seemed determined to fight till the end.

"Dad... Stay quiet for a moment..." Jenny said.

Chapter 1389

Chapter 1389

"Stay quiet? Why should I stay quiet? How can I stay quiet?" Henry Armstrong's father redirected his anger toward Jenny Armstrong.

After uttering those words, he immediately regretted it...

However, words that were spoken couldn't be taken back.

Jenny wasn't angry. Instead, she cautiously walked over to her father and sat down. She then crossed her arms tightly. "Dad... As long as you allow Henry to be happy... I will promise you that I'll allow you to take complete control of my marriage...

"From now on, I'll cooperate with you by meeting all those men you liked but whom I didn't want to meet before... "Moreover, I won't intentionally act strangely just to put people off as I did before... I will definitely behave well...

"I can sacrifice my happiness in return for Henry's happiness...

"Also, I promise I will get married to a man you approve of. It will help the Armstrong family get even better.

"Of course, if you disagree, then I will also leave this family and live with Henry. If that happens, not only will you lose a son, but you'll also lose me, your daughter...

"No matter how you look at this deal, the former is still the better option, isn't it?" Jenny added.

Jenny knew her father's temper well...

She also knew Henry's temper well.

Neither of them will give in at the end of the day.

When the time came, everything would thoroughly collapse.

Regardless of how much their father loved them, he definitely wouldn't easily compromise on something important like this.

If Henry only had his wife but not his parents, there would be something missing in his happiness...

Jenny didn't want Henry's happiness to be incomplete.

Hence, she was willing to sacrifice her happiness for Henry's.

Ever since they were kids, Henry had always been the one protecting her against all harm.

This time, she would protect Henry instead. She would brave the storm for him...

"Are you for real...?" Henry's father had a curious look in his eyes...

"Yes..." Jenny nodded repeatedly.

With that, Jenny raised three of her fingers and looked at her father with a serious expression. "I, Jenny Armstrong, solemnly swear that everything I said today is true. If I go against my oath one day, I'll get hit by a car and die when I go out... Moreover, I will never obtain happiness..."

"Alright... You don't have to swear like this. I believe you..." Henry's father quickly covered her mouth and said.

"Does that mean you agree?" Jenny asked.

"I'll think about it..." Henry's father was in a dilemma.

He really couldn't easily make up his mind for this matter...

"Alright, think about it. Don't tell Henry about this..." Jenny looked at her father seriously.

If Henry found out about this, he'd definitely make a huge fuss...

For someone who adored his sister so much, Henry definitely wouldn't allow her to do something dumb like this.

"I know." Henry's father frowned slightly and nodded. After that, he let out a long sigh.

The bond between the siblings touched him.

After hearing his reply, Jenny smiled satisfactorily. She then walked out the door.

The early autumn night felt a little cold.

As soon as she walked out, cold breezes blew against her. She immediately felt goosebumps all over her body. However, she didn't find cover in the house. Instead, she stood in front of the door and looked up at the sky full of stars. 'Henry, as long as you're happy...

'I hope my sacrifice will bring you a lifetime of joy and happiness from doing what you want...' She thought to herself. The moonlight shone upon her bare face.

It made her intricately cold and fair skin appear seemingly translucent.

Chapter 1390

Chapter 1390

At this instant, countless memories from when Jenny Armstrong was a child gushed into her mind. Ever since she was a kid, Henry Armstrong had been the one who treated her the best in the family... Although Jenny's parents also loved her a lot, it still couldn't compare to how much Henry loved her.

In her memories, there were many occasions when her classmates bullied her, and Henry was the one who always showed up and took care of matters for her. Most of the time, Henry was like her father, who protected her against harm.

Beep, beep, beep-

Right then, Jenny's phone started ringing.

The screen indicated that an idol she paid particular attention to, Blakely Shelton, had published something on Weibo...

Jenny immediately tapped on it to have a look...

Blakely published a selfie...

In the picture, he looked like an extremely clean guy.

Blakely didn't have any makeup on, and his hair was split in a precise three-to-seven ratio. He had a black hairband on as well as a black sports shirt.

His facial features were very three-dimensional, and his face was also very small...

He seemed very soft, mild, and refreshing.

There was a youthful aura about his entire body. His eyes were bright, and it was almost as if there were many stars hidden within.

This kind of appearance was very pleasant to the eye.

There was a caption attached to the picture. "Autumn is here. When seasons change, everyone should remember to wear thicker clothing in the early mornings and evenings. Don't catch a cold..." The Weibo post had already been published for three minutes, but there were only four-figure shares, likes, and comments beneath it.

This was one of her favorite idols who belonged to X Entertainment. He was the lead singer of a youth band called 'The 9'.

'The 9' was a small indie band in X Entertainment. It was formed in the same year as X Entertainment, and it was a boy band that performed the poorest in the company.

In the entertainment industry, members of the band were all considered non-mainstream...

The reason Jenny liked this guy was that their paths crossed on a sunny afternoon a year and a half ago when they walked past each other at Atlantis International Airport. Until now, Jenny could still clearly remember the moment they first met.

That day, the sun was shining very brightly outside the airport. He was wearing a white shirt, a pair of white jeans, and he was carrying a white briefcase while he walked in her direction... The instant their eyes met, Jenny felt that he took her breath away...

At the time, a middle school girl was following him...

That girl had shyly handed him a letter she had written as she spoke to him. "Blakely Shelton, keep it up... I will always support you... One day, you're going to make it in the entertainment industry..." That was when Jenny found out about his identity...

Moreover, she noted down his name.

After leaving the airport, Jenny immediately searched for this person on Weibo and followed him...

After that, she started searching for this person's information.

She searched for performances and variety shows this person had been on in the past...

After that, the more she got to know him, the more she fell for him.

In the end, she successfully became his female fan.

Come to speak of it; it was rather odd. Ever since Jenny became his fan, he started doing very well...

After approximately half a year since Jenny became his fan, he had accepted a role in a low-budget historical drama.

In the drama, he acted as the number two supporting male character who had a personable vibe.

In the early half of the year, this drama was broadcast on Goose TV. It received a lot of positive feedback...

In any case, that was a considerable achievement.

Meanwhile, Blakely managed to acquire many young female fans through his role as the number two supporting male character in the drama. People in the entertainment industry started noticing his good looks.

An increasing number of web drama production companies started asking for him to act in their dramas...
