Truth be told, there was little to be achieved between two people. A sense of guilt overcame as nothing could be done for the lady of Linton Group.

If the lady’s business were delayed as a result of what happened, they would be overwhelmed with guilt and remorse.

Daniel bit his lips and said, “Then... I shall happily oblige and thank Mrs. Jones for your hospitality.”

Mrs. Jones flashed a cold smile in response, “That’s more like it.”

The crowd gathered around Mrs. Jones again and continued to pour praises, hoping to win her favor.

Some even went to the extent of badmouthing Daniel and Hannah

The group ostracized Hannah and Daniel. Embarrassed, they stood by the side and looked on aimlessly at the crowd that surrounded Mrs. Jones.

Shortly after, a Rolls Royce pulled up onto the entrance of the neighborhood.

The door opened, and a young man dressed in a white suit and leather shoes exited the car. His complexion was as smooth and white as powdered snow.

It was Henry Jones, the superstar. He was the highlight for today.

As soon as he exited the car, the neighbors rushed over and surrounded him, burying him under their squeals of delight and praise.

“Henry, you look even better in person! There is an air of elegance about you!”

“Henry, Henry, do you remember me? I carried you in my arms when you were still a little kid.”

“Henry, you are the pride of our community. Your uncle and aunt are really proud of you.”

“Henry, your outfit looks like it cost you a fortune. And the worth of your car is enough to buy half the neighborhood.”

Henry frowned with disgust. Irritated, he pinched his nose as he exclaimed, “This place stinks! Get away from me, make way, make way!”

Gasp!

The crowd fell silent in embarrassment, and their enthusiasm was put out in an instant.

They came out in full force to welcome him with open arms, only to be met with an insult in return!

What could be more humiliating than that?

Henry Jones in real life was nothing like the image he projected on-screen. Where was the gentle and polite persona everyone grew to love? The difference was jaw-dropping.

Everyone attributed his reaction to his wealthy lifestyle and decided to brush it aside. ”He now lives the high life and is accustomed to the finer things in life. Who can fault him for that?”

One lady whipped out her mobile phone to take a photo of Henry.

However, Henry stopped her in her tracks. “What is that in your hand? What model is this? Who on earth uses these types of mobile phones anymore? This is so insulting,” he exclaimed.

“I will only permit my photo to be taken with a FRUIT phone and nothing else. Definitely not a local phone... imagine the horror if my photo turned out ugly?”

Resentment grew among the crowd.

This guy has a serious case of inflated ego and forgot his roots. Has he forgotten he is from Eurasia, and it was Eurasia that propelled him to stardom?

The ungrateful swine now despised Eurasia’s products and instead worshiped foreign goods and brands!

He had lost his identity and forsaken his roots!

Yet, Henry could not be bothered by what others thought of him. He walked over to Mrs. Jones and said, “Let’s go, mother. I bought you a huge villa. From today onwards you will live there. This tiny town reeks, and you being here will only tarnish my reputation.”
