Stepping into the foyer, he spotted Henry seated on the sola, seemingly engrossed in an old newspaper

Alfred paced over asking in a subdued voice, “Is Crystal not here?”

Henry looked up, seemingly surprised, before he stood up. “She went to Seeas Corporation to handle

some matters.”

Alfred was aware that Henry had transferred ownership of Seeas Corporation to Crystal.

He was unsure how to proceed.

Ultimately, what came out of his mouth was, “Well, that’s good. I have something I want to discuss with you privately.”

Henry could guess that Alfred had to have something important to talk about with the abruptness of his visit, so with a faint smile, he said, “Let’s talk upstairs in the study.”

When they went upstairs, Alfred sat down and started smoking continuously. Then, he glanced up at Henry and asked, “How are you doing?”

Henry paused in his coffee brewing.

In a soft but firm voice, he said, “Not very good.”

Then, he served the coffee to Alfred and sat down opposite him.

Alfred struggled to quell his agitation and extinguished his cigarette.

His gaze rested on Henry for a moment. After weighing his words, he divulged, “I’ve received some intelligence.
