""I've looked fortried to see wealthy people in the entire South district, but it's useless. What can you, a little girl, do? Or are you talking about that Henry you mentioned before? He's cunning, you know? Don't be foolishly deceived by him,"" Klay said impatiently. Havine hadg been in the business world for many years and , he had already seen through Henry, who would never invest in their family's industry.
