Watching Timmy’s departing figure, everyone sighed in unison.
“Actually, Timmy was also a good kid, he was just misled by Kellie.”
“Admitting mistakes and making improvements is of great importance. This child has a good attitude towards admitting mistakes. Mr. Sutton doesn’t need to be so harsh, right?”
“There’s no way around it, Mr. Sutton is a doting father. He might overlook other mistakes, but hurting his daughter is a serious offense, with no possibility of redemption.”
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the remaining childhood sweethearts glanced at each other and then, one by one, followed Timmy’s lead and knelt before Andrew.
“Mr. Sutton, I know I am no longer qualified to call you dad now, but in my heart, you are still my father!”
“I know you will not forgive me, but I cannot help but repay your nurturing kindness!”
“I will also, like Timmy, from today onwards, make every company I create a branch of the Sutton Group. I will contribute sixty percent of every penny I earn to the Sutton Group!”
After kowtowing three times to Andrew, the childhood sweethearts stood up one by one and then knelt down solemnly in front of Hillary.
“Hillary, I never actually hated you, you are great, you are actually the

best person I have ever met.”
“The reason we made fun of you behind your back was not because we dislike you, but because Kellie always compared herself to you in secret. After comparing, she would start feeling anxious and insecure, showing a lack of confidence. We pretended to dislike you in order to give her a sense of security.”
“I’m sorry, Hillary, we were so focused on satisfying Kellie’s vanity that we didn’t consider your feelings.”
“I know, it’s too late to say anything now, the damage has already been done, I don’t deserve to ask for your forgiveness anymore.”
“But if one day in the future, you encounter any trouble, remember Timmy’s words, just give me a call, I will go through fire and water for you, without hesitation.”
“My phone number will never change, I hope that before I die, I can receive your call again, hear you call me brother, in that case, I will also consider myself back home.”
Childhood sweethearts bid farewell to Hillary one by one, then turned. around and left, feeling lonely and desolate.
Finally, out of the seven childhood fiancés, only Henry and Lorenzo had not left.
Henry’s eyes quietly turned red, he did not directly apologize to Andrew, but looked sadly at Hillary.
“Hillary, I wasn’t in the video, Henry choked out, “I have always liked you, and I have never changed.”
Upon hearing this, Hillary couldn’t help but pause for a moment. She carefully recalled the videos of her and Kellie together, and indeed, there

was no Henry in any of them.
Henry was the only one who was not tempted by Kellie.
After a brief silence, Hillary frowned and asked, “If you really like me, then why did you join others in mocking me?”
A wave of bitterness washed over Henry’s heart. He smiled sadly and said, “I was actually planning to pretend to dislike you, and then drive away other childhood fiancés so that you would be mine alone.”
“Unexpectedly, being too clever ended up backfiring on me. Those words were actually heard by you…”
