Regina hesitated as she stared at her phone. "Henry, I'll think about everything we've discussed later." Henry reached for Regina's phone. "If you answer this call, you'll change your mind. I know you've already made your decision, right?" He turned off the phone. Regina looked at Henry, her eyes searching. "Do you think this is easy for me? Henry, if you were in my position, would you leave everything to join another company? You'd be losing your family too." "Regina, I left my family and my home because my parents tried to control me. Isn't that enough? I could have left my company, but the company I run today is successful because of my efforts at a young age, overcoming many obstacles. If you want to be more successful, you have to leave." Henry's gaze was serious, his face emotionless, masking his true feelings. Regina stared at Henry coldly, hiding her true emotions. "Henry, don't assume everyone is like you."
Regina's heart raced as Henry's actions turned increasingly sinister. She struggled against the restraints, fear gripping her. "Henry, stop this madness! You can't force me to do this!" Regina averted her gaze. Henry's eyes bore into hers intensely. "Regina, we're husband and wife, right? I'll show you it's better to be with me. I'll give you pleasure." "No! Henry, you're truly insane!" Regina attempted to wriggle free from the shackles. Her mind was clouded with terror. It was too horrifying to be real. "Regina! Regina!" "Stop!" "Regina!" Henry's cold, loud voice made Regina, who had initially shut her eyes, start to open them. "Henry?" she called out uncertainly. "What's wrong with you? Why are you calling out to me in your sleep? You're not imagining me doing weird stuff, are you?" Regina fell silent for a moment, trying to comprehend what was happening. She looked at her hands, finding no traces of being bound by som
"Dad, listen to my explanation. I agreed to collaborate with him because it's beneficial. Compared to the project crawling, it's better to recoup what we've spent. Henry Jian will bear all the risks, and if the project fails, we won't lose much," Regina explained. Mr. Tan stared at Regina sharply. "Your idea is good, but are you sure you're willing to let the man you love face ruin?" "I have to do it for the company's benefit. Besides, he won't be angry about it because he loves me more than his feelings," Regina responded. The secretary raised an eyebrow, trying to understand what was happening. "But, Mr. Tan, isn't this a form of betrayal against our company? He might want to deceive us for his lover's benefit." Regina stared at Mr. Tan firmly. "Dad, I'm really not deceiving. Dad can read this contract and see if the profit we'll gain is substantial without us ." Mr. Tan took the document given by Regina. He read the most important parts. "You're truly clever, getting signi
Regina and Henry hurriedly got out of the car. They rushed into a room and met with Rosa. It had been a long time since either Henry or Regina had any dealings with Rose.Regina got emotional when she saw her. "You said you'd take care of Kevin, but how did it come to this?"Rosa sighed. "It was out of my hands."Regina grew more agitated. "Out of your hands, you say? It happened at school, during class time. Are you trying to avoid responsibility?!"Henry pulled Regina back as she moved closer to Rosa. "Calm down!" He tried to soothe his wife before turning to Rosa "Who dared to do this to my son? They'll pay for this!""Mr. Jian, it's better not to escalate this. Kevin's condition right now—" Rose tried to defuse the tension, but Henry's anger only intensified."You want us to do nothing? Who are the parents of the child that hurt my son?"Rosa swallowed hard as a little girl approached. "Sir, Ma'am, I'm sorry!"Henry and Regina looked down at the girl with long hair. She continued,
Henry stared sharply at the boy who uttered those foul words. A cold aura spread throughout the room."Say it again. I dare you." Henry's anger boiled.The boy trembled. His father interjected, "Henry, that's enough. Do you want to intimidate a little child? He only spoke the truth."Henry shot him a sharp glance. He then unleashed a barrage of punches, making everyone scream. Regina shut her eyes, Kevin flinched."Henry, stop! Don't show violence in front of the kids," Regina tried to jump in."Uncle, don't hit my dad! You're mean!" The boy tried to pull Henry away but received a furious glare in return."You don't like me hitting your dad, do you? "That's how it feels seeing my son harmed and someone talking bad about him. Get it now?"The boy hung his head, feeling guilty. "If I apologize to Kevin, will you let go of my dad?""Yes." Henry's reply was curt."I'm sorry, Kevin," the boy surrendered. "Now let go of my dad."Henry withdrew his hand. The man who was beaten seemed drained
Kevin felt anxious as Henry didn't return home promptly. "Why isn't Dad back yet? The supermarket isn't far from home, especially if Dad is driving, he should have been back by now."Kevin tried to call, but only got the operator's response. "Where is Dad? Could it be that..." A thought crossed his mind. "Why did I forget this important thing, that mischievous kid..."Kevin quickly dialed someone. "Hello, uncle. I need you to do something for me.""What's wrong? It's been a while since you asked me to do something for you."Kevin explained his plan that he had already thought out. The person he called expressed agreement to do what the young man asked.Kevin still felt a bit nervous. He could guess, but couldn't know anything for sure."Kevin, Mom's back!" Regina entered the room with bags full of groceries. "You wanted snacks, right? I got some for you.""How did Mom know I wanted snacks? Did Mom go shopping with Dad?" Kevin asked.Regina shook her head. "No. Your dad is at the hospi
The suspicious man suddenly bolted. Regina instinctively started to chase him, but Henry held her back. "Don't fall for it. Remember what was on the phone earlier? If you follow him, you'll fall into their trap." Regina sat back down. "You seem used to this." "Regina, do you think being at the top means living a safe life? Unless you're someone's puppet," Henry scoffed. "Hey, are you implying something about me? Don't start a fight. I'm not in the mood to argue," Regina protested. "But how did that information come through? Especially to a seven-year-old. I wonder if Kevin isn't actually a child but maybe a spy from the beginning," Henry said, puzzled. "Do you doubt Kevin has bad intentions towards us? How dare you think that about your own son? If he were a spy, why would he help you?" Regina scolded him. "Your brain must be messed up to think that way." "I'm not saying he has bad intentions, but we don't know how Kevin lived before we met him. It's still strange to me that he
Henry was in a critical situation but tried to stay calm. His mind recalled something important. He glanced to the side and steered his car into an intersection.A loud crash echoed. Regina covered her ears. The limited sport car came to a halt, and Henry gently pulled Regina's hands away. "You can open your eyes now," Henry said.Slowly, Regina opened her eyes. "Did we make it?" She examined her hands and checked the rearview mirror. No serious injuries. "But I heard such a loud crash.""I managed to avoid them, and they collided with each other."Regina looked back. It wasn't very clear, but she saw smoke rising. The accident seemed severe.Henry resumed driving. Regina glanced at him. "How did you know about this route?""I remembered Kevin's directions. He mentioned there might be a path I could take if I got trapped between two cars."Regina paused, surprised by Henry's cleverness. "Turns out Kevin's advice was useful. You should thank him for the help that saved us.""I know, bu
