This is her trump card—every time she uses it, George Green is sure to comply with her every wish. No matter how many layers of espionage she may have, in her father's eyes, she will always be that little girl who never grew up.

George Green put down the book in his hand and smiled, saying, "Henry can drive, and he drives quite well. Before he finds a formal job, let him do this for now. This kid has a lot of pride; if you give him money directly, he definitely won't take it."

Seeing Henry Clark, who closely resembled Hu Yingming, George Green always felt a pang of guilt. Even if Henry Clark couldn't drive, even if he couldn't do anything at all, he would still find a way to pay him a wage.

Helen Green casually asked, "When did he go to the factory?"

George Green said, "He came in the afternoon. Henry is very sensible, probably understood my intentions, and didn't want to drive."

Helen Green asked, "Since he's driving for you, does he still need to live at our house? He could stay at the factory, couldn't he?"

George Green said earnestly, "Helen, didn't you use to play with Henry when you were little? You two even played hide-and-seek in the house. Those were good times."

Helen Green's face flushed, and she protested, "How can things be the same as when we were kids?"

George Green laughed, "That's true, you're a grown woman now. You two haven't seen each other in over ten years. Spend more time together and build your relationship. I actually think Henry is a fine young man."

To judge a person's character, the main thing is to see if they are responsible. George Green felt that Henry Clark was ambitious and responsible. Although he was at the bottom of society now, that might not always be the case.

Helen Green called out shyly, "Dad!"

She just wanted to know what George Green thought, and also to find out what Henry Clark had done that afternoon, to further determine his intentions.

George Green looked at his daughter, his face full of fatherly affection, and said slowly, "Whether a man is worthy of entrusting your life to depends on his character. Henry is just like his father—his character is beyond question."

Helen Green hesitated, "Dad, I don't want to get married right now."

George Green smiled, "How can that be? Girls have to get married eventually."

Helen Green said nothing more, pouted, and ran out.

"Knock, knock."

There was a knock at the door. Henry Clark immediately opened it—it was Helen Green.

Henry Clark smiled and said, "Hello, Helen."

At home, Helen Green had long hair draped over one shoulder, curved brows like crescents, a straight nose, and skin as fair as jade. Henry Clark was dazzled just looking at her.

Helen Green closed the door, her face frosty. "Mr. Hu, please behave yourself!"

She glanced around and saw a map of Shanghai laid out on the table.

Henry Clark was momentarily taken aback, then said seriously, "Alright. What can I do for you, Miss Green?"

To infiltrate the The Green Family, the first person he needed to get close to was George Green. At present, the only one in the The Green Family who could accept him was George Green. That afternoon, he went to Zhihua Textile Factory to further confirm his judgment. As expected, George Green, upon learning he was currently unemployed and could drive, made him the driver.

Helen Green's face was expressionless as she said coldly, "You racked your brains to move into my house—what exactly is your purpose?"

Henry Clark's arrival was full of oddities. Coming to Shanghai penniless to make a living was understandable, but to immediately talk about "starting a family" was not something an ordinary person would dare to do. Her own status was unusual, so she was always especially wary of people who suddenly appeared around her.

Henry Clark said solemnly, "I just want to fulfill my mother's wish. If Miss Green is firmly opposed to our marriage, I can move out at any time."

Helen Green said slowly, "You just want to fulfill your mother's wish? So, you actually don't intend to marry me?"

Henry Clark looked at Helen Green and said sincerely, "Before I met you, I really wasn't too willing. But now, I very much am."

A blush appeared on Helen Green's cheeks. She turned her head and said shyly, "You really are thick-skinned."

Henry Clark's voice was loud but unusually firm. "This is my mother's wish, and also Uncle Green's wish. Today, Aunt Green already made her demands—money, a house, a car, I will have them all."

Helen Green sneered, "This is a new society now. Betrothals arranged before birth were just a joke back then."

Henry Clark said resolutely, "As long as Uncle Green doesn't object, the The Clark Family will definitely see this marriage through!"

Helen Green had originally come to question him, but in the end, she fled in defeat. And so, Henry Clark became the temporary driver for the The Green Family, responsible for taking George Green to Zhihua Textile Factory at No. 2, Lane 122, Hatong Road in the International Settlement.

The next morning, Helen Green deliberately didn't take the carpool. After Henry Clark left, she quietly entered Henry Clark's room to inspect it herself. Mrs. Lewis was cleaning on the first floor. When she saw Helen Green enter Henry Clark's room, she quickly kept watch outside for her.

Henry Clark's luggage consisted of only a homemade wooden box. Although it had a lock, it was no challenge for Helen Green; she opened it easily with a hairpin.

Inside, there was only a change of clothes, a pair of cloth shoes, and an old thin cotton quilt. Under the quilt were a few books.

She looked left and right but found nothing unusual, so Helen Green restored everything to its original state.

She had thought about it all night. If Henry Clark insisted on staying at the The Green Family, she could only take a compromise: agree to marry Henry Clark.
