As soon as Sonya entered the house, she heard Taylor’s voice. She looked out of the window and saw Taylor and Henry sitting on either side of the table in the courtyard, arguing. “You were definitely pretending to be drunk last night, and you even followed us!” “I didn’t follow you guys. How was I supposed to drive when I
“Then how did you know we were here?”
was drunk?”
“Last night, while you were drinking, I installed a tracking device in your phone.”
Upon hearing these words, Taylor became even more angry.
“You brat, you actually set me up!”
“You did that to me first.”
Feeling guilty, Taylor couldn’t retort.
When Sonya came out, Taylor pulled Sonya to her side.
“How petty Riya is! She refused to participate in this variety show because of me. If she doesn’t come, what’s the point of me being here? You two go to her place, and one way or another, you must bring her here.”
Sonya took a step back.“I’m sure Henry can handle it alone!”
“You mean by illegal means?” Henry chuckled.
Taylor glared at him and then turned to Sonya.“Sonya, please.”
Sonya sighed and could only go with Henry.
The program was about to start shooting, and time was running out. The two of them quickly got ready and set off. Henry drove, and Sonya originally wanted to sit in the back, but he pulled her to the passenger seat.
“I have been driving for four hours already, and now I’m a bit tired. You have to keep me awake.”
Sonya frowned, “How am I supposed to do that?”
“I’m sure you know,” he winked at her.
“No way!”
“What are you thinking about?”
“Piss off.”
Henry chuckled and said, “You don’t have to do anything. Just be here, and if I get tired or sleepy, I will freshen up with just one look at you.”
Sonya pouted.“For the sake of my safety, you better focus on the road rather than me.”
The two of them were talking all the way and finally arrived when it was getting dark.
Riya was actually Taylor’s classmate at university. In other words, she was also an actress, but she quit the industry after getting married.
Sonya checked on her phone and found out that Riya had acted in a very classic TV drama, which was quite famous at that time. Later, she got caught up in a bullying scandal, and her popularity plummeted. After that, she got married and retired from showbiz.

Henry parked the car outside a rather fancy residential area. The two of them then entered through a small gate and arrived at Building No.1. Then they went up to the sixteenth floor in the
elevator.
When they reached Riya’s house, Henry rang the doorbell.
Soon a woman came to answer the door. The woman was about fifty years old, tall and slender, and had curly hair. With fair skin, the woman looked younger than her age, indicating that she paid great attention to skincare.
She looked at the two of them and asked, “May I help you?”
Sonya politely asked, “Are you Riya Farrell?”
“Yes, and you are?”
“I’m the agent of Taylor Sullivan, and my name is…”
Before Sonya finished speaking, Riya’s face fell and she slammed the door shut.
Sonya pursed her lips and turned to look at Henry.
Henry raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Leave it to me!“.
After saying these words, he knocked on the door forcefully. No one came, so he knocked again. After doing that five or six times, Riya opened the door again.
“I have already made it very clear to the production team, I…”
Before she could finish her words, Henry interrupted, “I’m Taylor’s son.”
“I don’t want to hear anything about her!” Riya exclaimed angrily.
She was about to close the door again, but Henry stopped her.
“I believe the staff from the program have talked about remuneration with you, right?”
“You think with such little money…”
“Yes, it’s indeed not much. So I will give you an extra 16 million dollars.
Riya stared wide–eyed with anger boiling inside her.
Seeing what happened here, Sonya hurriedly tugged at Henry’s clothes. In her view, he was being very impolite, and that would only piss Riya off.
“I said no.”
“32 million dollars!” Henry said calmly.
“How could you humiliate me like this? No way!”
“50 million dollars.”
“You are…”
to
Henry squinted his eyes and said, “Just consider it! As long as you say no, we will leave immediately, and I guarantee that no one will come bother you again.”
Riya’s face turned grim as she slammed the door shut once again.
Sonya couldn’t help but kick Henry.“You are just messing things up!”
Henry, however, didn’t think so. Instead, he lowered his head to glance at his watch.
“Let’s wait and see.”

“If I were Ms. Farrell, I would definitely kick your ass!”

Henry tilted his head and looked at Sonya with a smile.“Only you can do that to me.” Sonya snorted, “Piss off!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the door was opened again, and Riya stood in the doorway with a stern face.
“50 million dollars?”
Henry glanced at his watch
“OK!” Riya exclaimed in a hurry.
again and said, “There are ten seconds left.”
Henry nodded. “Then please get ready, Ms. Farrell. We will wait for you outside.”
It seemed that Riya had something to say. However, she said nothing but closed the door again.
“Let’s go and wait for her outside.” Henry pulled Sonya’s arm and left. Sonya said with an incredulous look, “Why, why did she say yes?”
“I think it is because she can help her husband repay his debts with the 50 million dollars.”
Sonya frowned.“You’ve investigated her?”
“Of course I have to get prepared before I come here.”
“But I still think that it’s a bit insulting.”
“In fact, you can look at it another way. We offered her a hand as well, right?”
Sonya thought of Lily and had to admit what Henry said was true.
There was a shop selling telescopes outside the community. Henry took Sonya there and bought one, saying that the night sky in the mountains was very clear and they could see stars that they couldn’t usually see here.
While the two of them were putting the telescope in the trunk, they saw Riya coming out with suitcase. Sonya took a few steps forward. Before she could speak, Riya directly handed her the
suitcase.
“I didn’t have an assistant, so could you assign one to me?”
“Of course, Ms. Farrell. Please feel free to say if there is anything else I can do for you.”
After hearing that, Riya reluctantly got into the car.
After Henry took the suitcase and placed it at the back, they got into the car as well.
In the car, Sonya glanced back with care and saw Riya leaning against the back of the seat, wearing an eye mask, as if she was asleep.
“The old tend to feel sleepy easily,” Henry said.
“I’m not even fifty yet. How can I be considered old!” Riya angrily exclaimed as she ripped off her eye mask.
Henry glanced at her through the rearview mirror and said, “I remember you are the same age as my mom. She’s fifty, and you are too, right?”
“I’m three months younger than her.
I will only
turn fifty next
month.”
Henry grinned and said, “So you are forty–nine years and eleven months old.”

Sonya was amused by Henry’s words, but she tried hard to hold back her laughter,
