"I figured you'd be surprised but won’t your mouth get numb?" Henry walked towards Adrian and helped him close his mouth.
Hanging his mouth open for too long might dislocate his jaw.
Adrian came back to his senses. "How come I never found out your secret before?"
"You know now." Henry looked down at the glasses in his hand and then pointed to his hair.
He hid it on purpose to avoid any suspicion. Even though Adrian managed to take his glasses off several times, he was drunk and didn't see Henry's face clearly.
"You're good at acting," Adrian said as he held up the glasses. Henry didn't know if he was praising or mocking him.
Henry took out the clothes that he was planning to wear tonight. He began to explain as he buttoned up his top. "When my mother found out that I would work in Lexingport City, she told me not to let other people see my face. Thus, my disguise."
"Our mother doesn't want you to go back to the Ye family yet you're doing the opposite. How are you going to explain that?" Adrian pressed because he didn't want him to go back to that family.

ad's illegitimate child surfaced. Even a paternity test was conducted.
I think there is some kind of conspiracy behind this. I'm sure that what happened to you was not an accident. Dad reassured us that he would get even with Nina, but he didn't. Maybe they planned this."
Vivian continued to throw mud at Nina. "Mom, that must be it. Nina must have pushed you to get even with me for getting close to Brother John.
It's my fault, I'm sorry…" Vivian hugged her mother and feigned a cry.
"Those wicked people!" Julie greeted her teeth and cursed. "I swear I will never let this slide. I won't let go of Nina or Henry. I may not have a son right now, but I still have you, Vivi. I believe that you can compete with Henry for the position of CEO. Moreover, you've been working in the industry for a long time. I'm sure you're more skilled than him."
"Mom…" Tears welled up in Vivian's eyes. Finally, her mother's attention was back to her. "Don't worry, I won't let anyone take what’s ours."
"You really are my daughter," Julie claimed. They helped each other up as Julie rubbed her daughter's hand. "Let's go. We need to welcome your brother."
