Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 16

"Henry, you didn't eat much just now, I made some porridge for you. Eat some, alright?"

Joy walked up to Henry with a dedicate rice bowl in her hands. The porridge in the bowl was exuding hot steam.

Henry only glanced up at Joy and shook his head. Then, he buried his head down again.

Joy took a step forward, carefully placing down the bowl of porridge on his desk, and subconsciously glanced at the letter on the desk.

She didn't know what it was, but seeing just now how Henry was staring at this letter without even blinking, she figured it must be this letter that made him this depressed.

"I don't want to eat. Where is Shirley?"

"Shirley keeps telling me that she doesn't have the face to see you. What happened today was all because of the bad idea she came up with. Without it, you wouldn't have gotten into trouble like this."

"Oh!"

Henry absentmindedly replied. Soon after, he was lost in thought again.

After a long while, Joy took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Shirley told me everything. This matter can't be blamed on her. It's all that whore Jean's fault. She must have said something in front of Zed. How about I go teach her a lesson or two."

Joy originally intended on comforting Henry, but she didn't expect that her words darkened Henry's face even more.

"You don't need to say anymore. In the end, Jean is also my daughter, so I will deal with the issue myself. You don't need to bother with it. Also, make Shirley thoroughly give up thinking about seducing Zed. Zed won't take a fancy to Shirley."

"I know Jean is your biological daughter, but does she regard you as her father? If she still considers you as her father from the bottom of her heart, then you wouldn't be sitting here sighing and groaning. Henry, I only hoped to live a stable life when I married you, steadily waiting for our daughter Shirley and our son Winner to get married someday. During this time, I don't want to see Jean destroy our peaceful life. Right now by your side, you only have one daughter, our daughter, nothing else."

Joy was wearing a housedress, just like a typical housewife.

How could Henry not understand what she's saying. However, Jean is also his biological daughter, this is an indisputable fact.

And it was precisely for this reason that Henry felt it was exceptionally difficult to act as Zed requested. It would be a big shame for him to apologize to his own daughter.

"Alright, don't say anymore. I am currently quite vexed! Also, you better have a serious talk with your precious son. Don't let him be so idle all day. Other than eating, drinking, and playing, he doesn't know anything else. Doesn't he know to find some decent work to do? I need him to help me manage my big company, but he's so useless all the time. How can I be at ease leaving my company to him?"

As soon as Henry mentioned his son, Winner, he became even more depressed.

Winner was born a few minutes after Shirley. As the youngest and the only son of the Wen family, he had gotten preferential treatment from Joy since childhood. Being decorated from head to toe by famous brands and equipped with ultra-luxurious cars as he got older, Winner was no doubt a hedonist. Therefore, Henry didn't believe that Winner would be a qualified successor and only appointed him as the nominal deputy general manager after Joy's repeated request.

"Don't worry, I already talked to Winner. He's an adult now, and I believe he will correct his mistakes and have a fresh start, just like we'd hoped."

Henry gave Joy an angry stare and said," I hope so, otherwise my company would..."

"Don't you still have our daughter Shirley? Although Shirley is female, I believe she is capable enough to run the company."
