"Did he send you to find me?" Henry asked as he sat on the couch."No matter what, he's still your father. Why are you being so cruel to him? Dad is ... in a really tough situation." Harry cut to the chase.Henry sneered. "Did he consider how tough it was for us when he did all those things?""I know Dad went too far by involving Grandpa. It indeed crossed the line."But with the way you're handling it, Dad's company won't be able to operate anymore. Numerous projects are stuck. And if they don't proceed on time, Dad will face huge breach-of-contract penalties."At that point ... he might lose everything."Harry stared at Henry. He wanted to see if his words would affect Henry.However, Henry looked indifferent."Henry, I've never asked you for anything. But just this once, can you please just do it for me?" Harry pleaded.Henry looked at Harry and stated stubbornly, "Harry, this is none of your business. You shouldn't be the one begging for my help."Harry understood what He
Natalie was stunned. Were her eyes playing tricks on her? Why would the usually gentle Harry have a murderous and cold expression on his face?"Ha ... Harry ..." Natalie greeted hesitantly.Harry seemed surprised to see her. But soon, his expression returned to normal. Because of this, Natalie genuinely thought she was just seeing things."Are you here to visit Felix?" Harry asked gently."Yes, I even brought him some food." Natalie smiled."The doctor's giving Felix a check-up, but Evelyn is in the ward. I have something to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first." Harry gave her a curt nod and left.Watching Harry's departing figure, Natalie found this version of him foreign.However, Natalie quickly retracted her gaze and entered the ward.Inside the room, Evelyn seemed to be wiping away tears.Seeing this, Natalie's heart dropped. "Evelyn, what happened? Is Felix ..."Evelyn blinked and composed herself. She shook her head. "It's nothing. Some unpleasant memories ca
Natalie had just put down her phone when another message from Henry came through.Even through the screen, she could imagine the arrogant look on his face when he sent the message. "I'm hungry. Hurry back and cook for me!"Natalie didn't reply after reading it.Another message from Henry came through. "Did you see my message?""I did ..." Natalie replied."Then why didn't you reply?" Another text."Couldn't be bothered." Natalie frowned and replied halfheartedly."From now on, you must reply to every one of my messages. No excuse!" Another message.Natalie stared at the messages on her phone with confusion.Wasn't Henry a stoic man? Natalie was starting to realize how little she knew about Henry. It appeared that he was quite a clingy person ...As soon as she entered the house, Amos approached her with a smile. "Mrs. Chase ..."They both felt awkward at the title.Amos quickly cleared his throat. "Apologies, Ms. Shepherd. I ... I'm not used to addressing you as anything el
Henry seemed unsurprised by the sudden arrival. He calmly hummed. "Let's go downstairs.""Who is it?" Natalie couldn't contain her curiosity and asked."Juliet." Henry's soft answer sent shivers down Natalie's spine.Natalie froze for a moment before she helped Henry downstairs.As they reached downstairs, Juliet was brought in by Henry's men.A bodyguard forcefully pushed Juliet forward, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground."Ouch!" Juliet's first reaction was to cast a pitiful glance at Henry. However, she had forgotten that she could no longer expect any sympathy from Henry.Henry sat on the couch and gazed indifferently at Juliet. "I heard your brother died."Juliet's brother, Wilbur, had gone missing a week ago. Only two days ago, the police found Wilbur's body by the river.After some investigation, they traced the suspect back to Stanley, who had already confessed to his actions.Juliet didn't understand why Henry was asking this. She wiped away her tears with
"So, it was entirely his doing? My child's and Grandma's deaths were also his doing?""Of course! Why would I do any of that?"Stanley's expression shifted. Even though he was trying hard to stay calm, his reddening eyes betrayed him."But I heard something was going on between the two of you.""That's not true! He had always been doing everything I said! Stop trying to sow discord and make Henry misunderstand me!"It's not as if I could stop Stanley from liking me. Why should I bear the blame for his reckless actions?" That was the end of the recording.Natalie calmly put away her phone.Right now, a mixture of emotions flickered across Stanely's face—heartbreak, disbelief, irony, and anger."You heard her, right? You did all of this for her, yet she doesn't appreciate it. Now, she's even trying to cut all ties with you." Natalie observed Stanley closely.On one hand, she wanted Stanley to dwell in misery for the days to come. On the other, it was to confirm if Juliet was i
"Does it matter whether I believe it or not?" Natalie nonchalantly retorted.Henry furrowed his brows slightly, showing reluctance to engage in further conversation with her.After turning back to lie on the bed, Henry spoke again, "Fetch me some paper and a pen.""What for?" Natalie asked, puzzled."Just go and get it."Natalie scrutinized him, unable to discern anything from his expression. Eventually, she turned around and fetched paper and a pen for him.Once Henry had the pen and paper, he began to write with determination.Natalie had no idea what he was jotting down. She didn't pay much attention to it, either.To her surprise, after he was done, Henry casually tossed the pen aside and handed her the paper. He said, "Hold onto this."Natalie looked at him, perplexed, and didn't immediately take the paper.Henry couldn't help but urge, "Hurry and take it! You can read the contents carefully."Natalie, now thoroughly confused, reluctantly accepted the paper. She read th
Natalie was confused. But she refrained from interrupting Leslie, patiently waiting for her to finish speaking.Leslie slowly shifted her gaze to the hospital building in front of them before continuing, "My sister is ill, suffering from a condition called clotting disorder."Today, she unexpectedly had severe bleeding, and the hospital's blood supply was depleted."That's when my mother reached out to me. She wants me to be ready to donate blood to my previously unknown sister."Because Leslie's sister had golden blood, this blood type wasn't abundant in every hospital's stock.According to the doctors, Leslie's sister's condition was critical at this time.Although the bleeding had temporarily stopped, there was still a risk of a sudden relapse.If she experienced another bleeding episode, the hospital wouldn't have enough blood in stock to provide for Leslie's sister.Excessive blood loss could pose a life-threatening danger."Usually, something like saving a life is someth
A while back, he wouldn't leave her alone, telling her how much he couldn't live without her.He had come to pick her up from work every day for a while now.No matter how late she got off work, she would always see him waiting as she walked out of the company.One day, just to wait for her, he skipped dinner and ended up with a stomachache.Watching him squat there in agony, she felt a bit sympathetic. She even thought that maybe he did care about her.Unexpectedly, now he was striving for something for his beloved Harper.All the previous efforts suddenly seemed somewhat ridiculous.Perhaps, if she didn't have a face almost identical to Harper's, Hugh wouldn't have noticed her in the first place.Now that Harper was back, how could he possibly take a substitute like Leslie seriously?"Les, I've been trying my best to find someone who can donate blood for Harper. You don't have to do this, it's just in case … in case we don't find anyone …"Hugh cautiously began speaking, af
