"Don't you think it's rude to enter someone's ward without asking?" Natalie's voice was cold.It was Jennifer. Natalie didn't think there was anything to talk about between them.It was evident that Jennifer didn't have good intentions to meet her so late at night. Jennifer slowly walked toward Natalie and looked down at her.Her gaze was full of sympathy and mockery."I thought Henry wouldn't leave your side since you're injured now. I never thought …" Then, Jennifer slowly took a photo from her bag and placed it before Natalie. She continued, "I never thought he would be in the mood to be with other women."Natalie looked down to see Henry being surrounded by women.The photo was glaring to her eyes. But not only was it glaring, but it also made her heart break.But wasn't this what she wanted?His decision to give up on her and start anew wasn't so bad. At least he would no longer have to compromise with other people because of her."I thought Henry was devoted to you
"There's no need for that." Harry rejected the proposal without hesitation.He was about to wrap his hands around Shirley's shoulders to leave when Shirley said, "It's alright. She can eat with us.""Oh, right. I haven't asked before. How should I address you?" Shirley asked Evelyn with a smile.Harry had a bad feeling as she watched the two women begin to make small talk. He had a feeling his secret would soon be exposed if he continued to be soft-hearted.All his hard work would go down the drain.During the meal, Harry felt like he'd almost suffered from a heart attack.He felt like Evelyn would intentionally expose some information to Shirley every once in a while.And Although Shirley didn't say anything, he knew Shirley had become suspicious.After dinner, Shirley made Harry send Evelyn home.When the car arrived at Evelyn's photography studio, Shirley noted casually, "You seem quite familiar with the place."Harry's hands trembled on the steering wheel when he heard he
Dean replied to Natalie quickly. "Download the registration form. Bring it to my office after you've filled it out. However, the higher-ups have the final say since there's only one available slot."The higher-ups? Would it be Henry?If he saw that she had applied for training abroad …Natalie quickly chased away her thoughts.Henry was a busy man. He wouldn't have time to worry about such little things in each department.With that thought in mind, Natalie quickly replied to Dean. "Alright, Mr. Jenkins."Natalie had always been quick and effective. She quickly filled out the form and handed it to Dean.Dean took the application form and said, "The final result will be posted on the bulletin board in two days."She could wait two days. And she wouldn't need to resign if she managed to join the program.She also wasn't sure if Henry would have even approved her resignation if she had chosen to resign. Besides, she didn't want to cause drama over her resignation.However, Nat
Wade immediately walked over when Henry returned to his office. Wade's expression was solemn as he said, "Mr. Chase, you didn't bring your phone with you because you were in too much of a rush."There are multiple missed calls from your brother.""Where's my phone?"Wade immediately handed Henry his phone.Then, Henry stopped in his steps and called Harry as he remained standing in the corridor.Harry quickly answered the phone, sounding anxious. "Henry! Dad fainted. He's now in the hospital! I'm waiting outside the operation room!"Henry's expression remained indifferent as he laughed coldly. "What's he trying to pull again? Is he ready to stir up some trouble after living peacefully for a while?""He really fainted! Henry, could you come over? He's still our father at the end of the day," Harry said solemnly.The word 'father' made Henry's heart tighten.His father had never been there for him when he needed him. But now that Cliff was sick, it was as if he needed to be th
Henry didn't turn around. But his hand that rested on the doorknob paused momentarily, hesitating to open the door and leave."Before I go, could I hear you call me 'Dad' just once?" Cliff's gaunt face carried a hint of hope and longing.He wanted to hear Henry call him Dad. But for so many years, he had never heard it.More than once, he had reprimanded Henry, telling him he had no respect for him as a father.Unfortunately, Henry never understood the true intention behind this scolding. Instead, far from understanding, it only made their relationship worse.Henry's grip on the doorknob tightened quietly.For a moment, he almost thought he was hallucinating.Didn't Cliff dislike him, his own son?How could he…"If… If it's possible, that might bring me some peace," Cliff then added. But as he lay there waiting, he received no reply from Henry.After a while, Henry opened the door and left.The word 'Dad' was more challenging to utter than he had imagined.Simply put, there
"Ms. Connell, let me state my position again very clearly. I have no intention of undergoing treatment." Sheldon looked at Lyla's exasperated face. "So, if you feel guilty about taking their treatment fee without having done anything, then return the fee to them."I'll pay you the corresponding amount. That way, you won't have to work so hard anymore." Sheldon suggested earnestly.Lyla momentarily paused while unpacking the takeout box. But in the next instant, she gave him a meaningful smile. "Do you really think I wanted to treat you just for the money?"Sheldon frowned. "Then, why?"Lyla didn't answer his question. Instead, she commanded, "Come here!""I still have work to do, I'll talk after I'm done," Sheldon said and lowered his head to continue reviewing the documents.Seeing this, Lyla stood up and took the takeout with her to his side. She then picked up a piece of meat and held it to Sheldon's mouth.Her action took Sheldon by surprise, and he hastily leaned back and s
Jennifer's heart skipped a beat.Henry's words were definitely loaded with other implications!But even if he suspected her involvement in Natalie's horse riding accident, what of it? She had already destroyed all incriminating evidence. So, what could he possibly do to her?Jennifer lifted her chin, unconcerned. "Since when did you learn to speak in such a sarcastic tone?"The staff glanced at Henry, and then at Jennifer. Feeling it was probably inappropriate to stay any longer, he spoke up, "If you're alright, Ms. Brown, I'll take my leave now.""Okay," Jennifer said indifferently. Then, she turned her gaze back to Henry. "I don't understand, what are you trying to say?""Don't you? Then I guess I'll have to remind you." With that, Henry flickered his riding crop. Then, his horse leaped forward and charged toward Jennifer.Jennifer was terrified. "Henry! Have you gone mad? Stop! Stop right now, do you hear me?" She panicked, running around frantically.But how could her frant
In a fit of rage, Evelyn bit down hard on Harry's neck.The bite made Harry twist his face in pain, and he forcefully pushed Evelyn away. He then covered his bleeding neck with one hand and looked up at Evelyn.His eyes were full of disgust. Gone was the warmth and indulgence of the past."Don't act like a madwoman!" he yelled.Evelyn fell to the ground. Her face was a mix of grievance, sorrow, rage, and helplessness.After leaving the photography studio, Harry ordered his subordinates, "Keep a close eye on this woman. Make sure she doesn't show up in front of Mrs. Shirley again.""Yes, Mr. Chase."The vehicle started and slowly drove away from the studio.Harry watched the photography studio recede in the rearview mirror as a flicker of emotion finally appeared in his eyes. However, it was soon replaced by his usual indifference.Life never allowed for perfect solutions. If you were madly pursuing something, you had to stake everything less significant to fight for it. And wh
