Wade lowered his eyes, but then, he suddenly realized something. "Do you mean Jasper Brown?"After all, no one held a deeper grudge against Henry than Jasper Brown. He was dying to take his revenge on Henry.On top of that, ordinary people wouldn't dare to touch Henry even if they disliked him. But Jasper had some power, and he wasn't afraid of using it.Henry remained silent, his eyes filled with murderous intent."Mr. Chase, what should we do now?" Wade asked hurriedly.As much as Henry wanted to make Jasper pay, he was more anxious to know Natalie's whereabouts now.He would settle with Jasper another day."Forget about Jasper. I want Natalie to be found first," Henry said with worried eyes."Alright, Mr. Chase. We'll do as you ordered." Wade understood it right away.…Meanwhile, at the Brown residence, Thomas was listening to his men's report. Apparently, he wasn't happy about the outcome of the report."Enough. Get out!" Thomas waved his hand.After the men left,
Shirley had found out about it a few days ago.No one knew how hard it was for her to face Harry these days. She had to pretend like nothing had happened.She was aware of how despicable this man was, yet, she still had to greet him with a smile."Shirley, why… Why would you eavesdrop on me all of a sudden? A-and between Evelyn and I…" Harry suddenly lost his ability to construct sentences."If you've got nothing else to say, sign this," Shirley said as she handed him a document placed by her side.Harry took a glance at the document and saw the words "Divorce Agreement". Those words slid through his heart like a knife."You want to divorce me?" Harry said with some difficulty."I told you early on that I can't accept any disloyalty in my marriage. You don't need to be very affectionate with me, but you mustn't cheat on me and make me a fool!" Shirley said firmly.During their years of marriage, she had pushed herself to become less aggressive and assertive so that she could be
"Why do you ask? If someone planned it, are you going to avenge me?" Henry said as nonchalantly as he could.Now that Cliff was in bad shape, Henry didn't want him to worry too much. He preferred to solve the problems on his own if he could."So it was planned?" Cliff's eyes turned cold.Although he wasn't close with Henry, they were still related by blood. He would also want to protect his child.However, Henry didn't want to talk about it and changed the subject. "The news about Harry… Is it true?"Cliff sighed deeply. "That muddled son of mine! I don't know what he was thinking! How could he do such a thing? We men of the Chase family are always loyal to the love of our lives!"Cliff, as well as Henry, only had eyes for one woman in their lives.Cliff had lost his wife more than 20 years ago.Over the years, many women were interested in becoming his wife, but he was unmoved.Cliff believed that once you had met someone whom you loved dearly, other women would eventually be
Henry closed his eyes as he tried to calm his emotions.He covered his aching chest with his hand and whispered to Natalie in his heart, "Where are you? If you don't come back soon, I'll probably go mad."It was indeed torturing to wait for someone's news all day long.Whenever the door of his ward opened, Henry would look at it anxiously, hoping that it was Wade bringing good news to him.Needless to say, his hopes were smashed and rebuilt over and over for the past two days.…On the other hand, Harry was fired up to settle his matter with Evelyn.However, Evelyn was once again disappointed by his way of handling their matter."Harry, how could you say something like that? You want me to make a public announcement that this was all my plan? All because I wanted to take advantage of you?" Evelyn found it funny."You said you wanted Felix back, didn't you? I'll return Felix to you if you'll do as I say." Harry slightly turned his face away, merely giving Evelyn a sideways glan
Dancing was but a usual means of socializing in this industry.Hence, Leslie agreed without any hesitation. "Sure."Ivan then led her to the center of the dance floor in the ballroom.As they chatted, they danced slowly and leisurely to the music.Not too far away, Hugh was staring at them.Perhaps he was too distracted by the sight of them, he didn't even realize his cigarette was about to burn his finger.He was snapped back to his senses only when he felt a burning sensation on his fingertips.After dousing the cigarette, he beckoned to one of the staff. Then, he tipped the staff and asked him to run an errand for him.He then kept his gaze on Leslie and Ivan after the staff left.Soon, the same staff walked by Leslie. He was carrying a tray on which were glasses of red wine and accidentally bumped into her. He spilled red wine all over her and immediately apologized, "Oh, I'm sorry! I'm so very sorry! I didn't do that on purpose…"Ivan was slightly irritated by this.
"Help is right in front of you. Why do you insist on getting someone else?" Hugh studied Leslie carefully. "So, what's the problem?"Leslie looked away. She appeared to be extremely awkward and was still reluctant to tell him.Hugh saw through her and deliberately said, "It's fine if you don't want to tell me about it. Let's just hang around then. I'm free today, anyway.""You…" Leslie was at a loss for words.Since when had he become such a rascal? But it was when he behaved like this that she didn't know what to do with him.Meanwhile, Hugh still appeared to be indifferent. So, eventually, Leslie could only yield to the circumstances. She found it hard to tell him about her plight, though. "The zipper on my back is stuck.""Turn around," Hugh said.But Leslie didn't react. The restroom wasn't that large to begin with, and it now seemed more cramped because of Hugh's presence. Even the air felt slightly thinner."Turn around. I'll help you with it." Hugh's tone sound
Shirley momentarily stopped stroking the dog she cradled in her arms. "What do you mean?"Evelyn pressed her lips together. Several moments later, she gathered her courage and said, "I… was the one who caused you to miscarry your and Harry's baby."Shirley was stunned at her words, astonishment and disbelief written across her face.Evelyn continued, "I'd always wanted to cause a rift between you both. Seeing how happy Harry was when you were pregnant, I got really envious."That's why I… slipped something else into the tocolytics you took."Upon hearing her confession, Shirley would be lying if she said she didn't hate Evelyn at all.After almost ten months of pregnancy, her baby was so close to being born into the world. Yet, she ended up with a stillbirth.She could never forget the pain she felt when she learned about that.But what could she do even if she was filled with hatred? Regardless, she would never get her baby back.Shirley suppressed her emotions and asked em
Evelyn's eyes were red as she glared resentfully at Harry.Anxious and fearful, tears were already streaming down her face. "Fire is Felix's worst fear…" she said.She stared anticipatingly toward the residential area, mumbling, "He must be terrified to have to experience this, but I… can only watch from here. I can't be with him…"Harry cast her a meaningful glance. On either side of him, his hands moved hesitantly.He initially wanted to console her, but he eventually gave up on that notion.He decided not to scare himself. Things might not be as bad as they imagined.…After a thorough rest for several days in the hospital, Henry was almost fully recovered.The procedures for his discharge had already been settled, and he slowly climbed out of bed and buttoned his shirt steadily.Finally, he could leave the hospital. Now, he could go ahead and carry out whatever he had in mind.At that moment, Wade walked in with a grave expression. Frowning, he said, "Mr. Chase, somethi
