Henry suddenly turned to Natalie with a gaze as sharp as a knife.The injury on his forehead didn't seem serious, but he had been experiencing a lingering pain since the night before. While he was driving, a sudden pain had shot through him, and his vision had blurred. Even though he had reacted quickly and stepped on the brakes, he couldn't avoid the collision.And all his suffering happened because he was searching for Natalie. But what about her? Whenever he recalled Natalie being with Sheldon yesterday, he found himself unable to forgive her!"I don't need your concern!" Henry huffed.Natalie frowned at him. "You shouldn't drive if you're not feeling well."Henry didn't respond. He rested his head on the steering wheel. Since yesterday, he had endured immense fatigue and felt mentally exhausted.After some rest, Henry raised his head again. But Natalie was nowhere to be seen.He sneered. She was so patient with Sheldon. But when it came to him, she disappeared in just ten
Owen was furious. His body trembled violently. This was going too far!The bodyguards, hearing the command, began driving the reporters away. "Go! Leave! Hurry up! Get out! Stop asking questions!""Let's go inside. The reporters must have nothing better to do. They come up with the most absurd lines!" Owen hissed angrily.Before he turned around, a reporter shouted, "Your son said this himself! I even have the recording here! Do you want to listen to it?"The reporter wore a mask that hid their features. Everyone's gaze fell on the reporter. Cliff's expression turned ugly. He could feel the death glare Owen was sending him. To be honest, he didn't expect the reporters to expose this. He couldn't even remember the stupid things he had said while drunk.The reporter quickly played the recording.In the recording, Cliff sounded drunk. "I don't understand how I could have such an incompetent son! He has a chance to divorce that rapist's daughter, yet he refuses to! It's not tha
There were bodyguards downstairs, so Natalie couldn't enter. She had to wait outside.They could see Natalie if they looked out the window Henry was standing next to.Henry could see her, too. He knew he was being mean, but he harbored too much resentment toward her. And they thought he was going to be kind to her?Henry huffed coldly. "She can go home if she can't handle it. No one is forcing her to wait outside."Shirley felt sorry for Natalie. She spoke up, "Henry, she's just worried about Grandpa. Knowing her, she won't leave until she knows how the surgery went.""What does that have to do with me?" Henry remained unmoved.Harry and Shirley didn't know what to say.Cliff sneered, "You two are worrying too much! She isn't carrying the Chase family's bloodline! Why should we worry about her?"Just then, the light above the operating room switched off. Everyone stood up eagerly.Soon, a nurse pushed Owen through the doors. He was still unconscious. No one could tell what was
"We can also put a stop to the rumors if we can prove them wrong," said Natalie.Henry stopped talking as he stared into her eyes intently.If only he could see right through her and read her mind. Then, he'd know when she was telling the truth.With a determined and solemn look, she continued, "Regardless, I'll never abort this baby. You won't have the chance to do that, Henry Chase."Still, Henry couldn't bring himself to believe that the baby was his. Why would she keep him in the dark if she really was pregnant with his baby? Why hadn't she used that as an excuse to seek personal gain? Perhaps she was secretly devising a greater scheme?"We can do it now if you're willing to." Natalie felt at ease. Nothing about this scared her.Henry still kept quiet. After staring at her with his soulful eyes for a long time, he turned around and left.Natalie's gaze followed him as he walked away. She couldn't figure out what his actions meant.It wasn't until he reached the elevator t
To be honest, Natalie had no idea how Henry planned on settling the issue.She shook her head. Feeling resigned, she said, "He didn't tell me.""So, he's going to remain silent and let you bear the brunt of this?" Naturally, Sheldon was displeased with Henry's attitude.The gossip was no less disturbing to him. Not to mention, Natalie was the subject of discussion.Although she claimed she was fine, it must have felt agonizing. She replied, "He initially promised to do the DNA test but changed his mind." Natalie felt a dull ache in her heart whenever she brought it up. So, she quickly changed the topic. "Let's put that aside. I've almost completed the design draft for the music center. I'll show it to you tomorrow."Sheldon wasn't in the mood to talk to her about work. Still, he replied, "Alright."At that moment, he made up his mind.…It was the day of Moira's cremation.After the cremation, they temporarily brought the urn with her ashes back to the Chase residence. They
"Yes, sir?""Arrange a press conference," Henry instructed.Wade was puzzled but quickly grasped his intentions. "Are you going to clarify it personally?"Henry ignored the question. He merely said, "You may go ahead."Not daring to inquire further, Wade nodded. "Sure, I'll get it done.""We'll have it tomorrow morning. Make it as soon as possible." Henry turned to look out the window with a soulful gaze.The longer they dragged it out, the bigger the fuss people would make of the matter. The rumors were only going to spread further.Wade replied immediately, "Sure, Mr. Chase. I'm on it."He soon left the room, and Henry was alone in the spacious office.He stood by the window for some time. Eventually, he couldn't restrain himself from taking out his phone and searching for Natalie's number.She really was strong-willed. The rumors were getting out of hand, yet she was still calm and composed. She hadn't even called him.Or perhaps she knew he would step in to resolve it? I
"When a marriage loses meaning, it should end in a timely manner, don't you think?" Jennifer was smiling, but her smile was visibly unkind. Natalie understood now. Jennifer was there to confront her.Natalie gave her a meaningful smile and refused to back down. "I've never refused to call off the marriage. Oh, now I remember! You're a great lawyer, skilled in dealing with various court cases, right? Do you think you can handle our divorce proceedings?"None of the lawyers in the city had had the nerve to take the case so far. That was why the legal proceedings for their divorce had been delayed.Jennifer smiled condescendingly. "You're taking it to court? Are you that confident Henry won't let you go? I think he might come around someday, and you'll be able to enjoy your freedom.""That's for the best." Natalie stopped the conversation there. She turned around and left.She was mentally prepared for her and Henry to go their separate ways. The people who flocked to him was non
Daniel dared not make any sounds in fear of startling the kidnappers. He feared they would harm Natalie in a panic.They put her in a car and sped off in it. Daniel quickly hailed a taxi and instructed the driver to tail the kidnappers' car.He was so nervous and flustered he couldn't stop swallowing his saliva. At the same time, he took out his phone to call for help.His hand trembled as he scrolled through his contacts. In the end, his finger stopped on Henry's number. As he dialed it, Daniel prayed silently, hoping Henry would pick up the call sooner.However, he almost broke down when a voice said, "The person you're trying to reach is currently unavailable."Unavailable? Why had Henry turned his phone off? What options did he have?Daniel had no choice but to give up trying to ask Henry for help. He quickly called the police and told them about the situation.Eventually, the kidnappers' car turned into a secluded area without any street lamps.The taxi driver stopped the
