Seeing Molly couldn’t say anything, the people around her started pointing and whispering. 

“Look at her. She came in acting like some rich girl.”

“Yeah, with such an arrogant attitude, she must think she’s so wealthy. But she can’t even afford a 37.500- dollar dress. 

“After all, she relies on replicas to pretend to be rich! In reality, she’s nothing!” 

The discussions grew harsher, and Molly couldn’t bear to stay any longer. She immediately threw the dress at the staff and ran away without looking back. 

Tsk! 

It’s the first time I’ve seen Molly in such a miserable state! It’s really satisfying to watch! 

But, I suppose I’ll be seeing her in a miserable state more often from now on. 

Celia smiled happily and casually bought a black evening gown. 

If she remembered correctly, three days later, Daniel would be hosting a birthday banquet for Molly. As the adopted daughter of the Leifs, she couldn’t miss it. 

At the River Group. 

“Mr. Henry, something significant has happened!” 

Henry was sitting at his desk, dealing with documents, when Jack suddenly pushed the door open, looking shocked. 

“Clang!” 

Henry frowned and slammed the pen in his hand on the desk, staring coldly at him. 

“Is this how I’ve taught you to behave?” 

Zen sympathetically glanced at Jack from the side and quietly took two steps back. 

Henry was furious after being abandoned by his wife. At this moment, Jack came along, offering himself as a punching bag for him to vent his anger. 

“No. But Mr. Henry, something happened with Mrs. Holton!” 

“Hmm?” 

Henry’s face turned cold. He stood up abruptly, speaking in a calm voice, “What happened to Celia? Who

“It’s not that, Mr. Henry. No one mistreated Mrs. Holton. She has changed her attitude and played a trick on Molly.” 

“Huh? Did you say she played a trick on Molly?” 

Henry raised an eyebrow, looking at Jack with surprise. 

“That’s right! Molly was so embarrassed today! She picked out a bunch of clothes and wanted Mrs. Holton to pay for them. But she refused to pay and tricked her into going to another store. 

“Molly happily followed along, but little did she know that Mrs. Holton turned around and said she would. buy her the replica. She even pointed out in front of everyone that Molly was wearing replica clothes. You guys have no idea, Molly’s expression was absolutely priceless!” 

Jack, do you have a fever? Why are you talking nonsense?” 

Just as Jack finished speaking. Zen walked over with an incredulous expression and touched his forehead. 

“He doesn’t have a fever. Could it be that he has been bribed by Mrs. Holton?” 

“Get out of here! You’re the one with a fever! You’re the one who has been bribed!” 

Jack stared at Zen and handed the camera to Henry. 

“Mr. Henry, I deliberately recorded a video. Please take a look.” 

After watching the video, a slight smile appeared on Henry’s lips. 

It seemed that his little girl had truly changed. Her taste had improved, and she had become more intelligent. 

“Spread the word, the whole company will get off work early today!” 

Henry left the company joyfully, walking away as if carried by the wind. 

At the Halcyon Mansion. 

When Celia returned to the mansion, she saw Henry coming back as well. 

Her pupils contracted slightly with a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. 

Isn’t Henry a workaholic who doesn’t come home until eight or nine o’clock every day? Why did he come back so early today? Could I misread the time? Is it actually quite late now? 

“The sky shouldn’t be dark yet, right?” 

Celia whispered to herself, poking her little head out to gaze at the sky outside. 

“Huh? It’s not dark yet.” 

She pulled her head back, puzzled, and blinked her watery eyes. “Why did you come back so early today?” 

Henne’s hodhrtenced and a bitter smile involuntarily anneared on hie line

Indeed! 

She was merely playing a prank on Molly, What does that prove?

Perhaps she was only upset with herself because of the video at the engagement banquet, but that doesn’t mean she likes him. 

Henry glanced at her from the corner of his eye and said casually, “I had finished my work and came back.” 

Sensing the disappointment in his eyes, Celia instantly guessed what he was thinking. 

She quickly ran up to him. gently wrapping her arms around his sturdy waist, and raised her head to explain. 

“Henry, you misunderstood. I’m just used to seeing you coming home late at night, so I was surprised to see you at this time.” 

“I didn’t mean to make you unhappy. On the contrary, I’m very happy that you’re willing to leave work early and spend time with me!” 

“Happy… 

Henry pursed his lips. His deep eyes fixed on her, as if trying to determine if she was lying. 

But all he could see in her bright eyes was his handsome face, without any other emotions, 

Was it that her acting was too convincing, or had she truly changed? 

Henry sighed and reached out to embrace her. 

“Celia, if you want to deceive me, then just keep deceiving me. Don’t let me catch you, okay?” 

Celia suddenly felt a strong pang of heartache when seeing him in such a vulnerable state. 

It was because she had hurt Henry in the past that he couldn’t believe her sincerity now. 

But it didn’t matter. They still had a long lifetime ahead. She had plenty of time to show him her true feelings. 

“Henry…” 

Her sparkling eyes stared at his handsome face, and her lips curved slightly. 

“Did I ever say that I like you?” 

“What did you say?” 

Henry was slightly stunned. During the time she had been tied to him, the most common phrase she said to him was, “Henry, I hate you!” 

Being liked by her was a luxury he didn’t dare to dream about. He only hoped that she would stop hating 

him. 

Henry pursed his lips and turned his head slightly, saying casually, “No.”

Celia pouted discontentedly and tiptoed to turn his head back. 

“Henry, I like you!” 

“What did you say?” 

His pupils trembled as he stared at Celia in disbelief. 

She actually said she liked me. 

Am I dreaming? 

Henry stared blankly at her, feeling that everything in front of him was so surreal. 

But just as he stared blankly, Celia suddenly jumped up and kissed him on the lips. 

“Henry, I’m saying that I like you!” 

“Although I haven’t said it before, from now on, whenever you want to hear it, I will say it.” 

Henry frowned slightly and looked at Celia intensely. 

Although the kiss just now was brief, the tender sensation lingered in his heart.

He slightly lowered his head, closing the distance between them. With one hand, he held her chin, gently caressing her lips with his slender fingers. 

“Celia, do you understand what you’re doing?” 

His commanding yet gentle voice entered her ears, causing a fluttering sensation in Celia’s heart. 

In the past, her attention was always focused on John. She had never realised that Henry’s voice could be so pleasant to listen to,
