At that very moment, Tina could see herself reflected in Henry's eyes.She mustered her courage and walked over, then stamped her feet on the thugs.However, her feet were still numb and she even fell, unable to inflict any damage."You're really useless." Henry chuckled and did the same to the thug who had reached Tina first, castrating him on the spot.Tina thought her heart could leap out of her chest, as she experienced falling in love for the first time.Henry used to be good to her too, but that could well be a secret now.After all, everything changed after Linda showed up.-Back to the present, Tina shut her eyes to quell her messy emotions.When she opened them again, her gaze was calm.Holding herself steady against the wall to get up despite the difficulty, she limped toward the man, stamping him viciously in the crotch.There was a blood-curdling scream, and the man soon collapsed on the ground limply.She did not fall this time, as a hand wrapped around her wa

Tina was basically dangling from Henry, wobbling as she followed.However, the bumpiness churned her stomach, and her pretty face was soon scrunched.In fact, they had just reached the bed when she retched audibly. "Bleurgh!"Henry paused, his face dropping. "Don't you dare—""Argh!"Even before he could finish, Tina vomited all over Henry, extinguishing the fire in his loins instantly.He did not hesitate to fling her onto the bed as if she was trash, leaving her grunting uncomfortably.Still, he sat on the edge, his expression dark as he looked at her vomit-covered clothes, while Tina remained squeaky clean.Red wine was always sweet, but vomit stank.Even as the pungent stench struck his nostrils, he felt sick too.He could strangle Tina right then and there!Unable to bear it for another second, he strode into the bathroom, still glowering as he stepped out thirty minutes later.Changing into the new clothes delivered to the apartment, he slammed the door shut resound

Professor Walls actually found the result disappointing too.He admired Tina's talent, just as he was plenty satisfied with her work in this competition.As such, he tried to console her, "It's just one loss, Tina. It doesn't mean much."However, he simply wasn't aware how important this was for Tina—she could barely keep a lid on her emotions as she asked with a quivering voice, "Did my work come up short?""Of course not!" Professor Walls denied it right then."Then what is the reason I lost?!" Tina cried, her voice shrill in agitation.Professor Walls could only sigh in exasperation."Tina, when you're actually in the business, you'll understand that none of us can fight against money. But don't feel dejected—you will always have my vote, and your future is always bright with your talent."Tina had to fight back her tears, as she was reminded of what she had seen earlier—the organizers flocking around Henry and Linda.Her unease was proven true at that very moment!"So, Li

For Sophie, Tina was willing to go above and beyond, consequences be damned.On the other hand, her father would rather roll out the red carpet for another woman just to marry her.As such, Henry's nonchalance really crushed her hopes.If Sophie couldn't rest in peace because of this…"Shut up!"Henry's visage was cold as steel as he bellowed, "You really can say anything just to marry me, huh?! Sophie is your daughter—and you call yourself her mother, cursing her like that?!""And you call yourself her father?! You're the one who's the problem here! Sophie is dead! My Sophie… She's really dead!"And with that, Tina broke down into sobs, her tears rolling like a string of broken pearls.Even though it had been over a month, her daughter's tragic death still hurt her deeply.Henry bellowed, "That's enough! If you breathe another word—"Suddenly, his outburst stopped, and his words kept stuck in his throat.Even as he stared at her tear-drenched face, his heart sank and he sta

Though Linda's eyes welled up with tears and clearly appeared guilty, Henry scowled.He didn't stop to comfort her, instead growling, "Did you see who was with Sophie?"He was worried that it was a human trafficker—those monsters were really relentless these days."It was a middle-aged woman," Linda replied, her tone uncertain. "She looked like a babysitter, and Sophie was clinging to her happily…""Where did they go?" Henry pressed."There," Linda pointed without hesitation.Henry broke into a run right then—there weren't that many people over there, and he could catch up if he hurried!However, he barely made a few steps when Linda gasped in pain behind her, "Ah!"He promptly paused and turned to see that Linda was hurt—her gown was rolled up just enough to show a gruesome cut on her knee, which was bleeding freely.Henry hurried back to her, helping her up even as she did her best to push herself up.As soon as Linda was on her feet, she pushed Henry while exclaiming anxio
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 19
With those words, Henry strode off with Linda in his arms, while Tina leaned on her car, sliding down and buried her head between her legs.She had held a shred of hope even as she returned.Sophie was dead—there was no way Henry could have found her even if she rushed back.With that, he just might believe her and return her rightful victory in the tournament.However, that attitude from him clearly meant there was no hope of turning things around.A hundred grand was worth nothing to the rich, but the average person would never accumulate so much money in such a short period of time.What could she do for her darling Sophie now?-It took a long while for Tina to compose herself and headed into Skymex Tower to get her makeup done.In the hall, the emcee proceeded with the formalities, while Tina and the other contestants waited backstage for the results to be announced.Linda sat at the forefront, dressed in a gown of a famous brand's spring season.She was basically premi
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 20
The hall was left abuzz with excitement. Everyone knew Henry had a wife and daughter, as the man was always scandal-free.Since this was the first time he showed intimacy with a woman in public, and considering Linda's gown, everyone wondered if Linda was the rumored Mrs. Barnes."You don't say," someone mused out loud just then. "Looking at them from the back, they looked just like the couple who rented out the whole of Wonderland for their daughter's birthday."Those words reminded Tina the day her darling Sophie was cremated, and her eyes were cold even as she stared at Henry.That was when the emcee announced, "Let's hear a round of applause for Mr. John Levine, CEO of Levine Inc.!"The crowd was once again abuzz at the mention of John Levine's name. The Levine family's legacy had stood for over a century in Jadelight, and John was head of their family in this generation.Amongst all the other prestigious families in the city, he and Henry were the most outstanding indivi

Even as Emma spoke, she glanced at Tina, and there was no hiding the admiration in her eyes.After all, she loved Tina's work for the competition—in her mind, Tina was first place.Pausing for a moment, she then announced, "As the first and second runner-up of this competition have proved their outstanding skills, the executives of the Continental had a discussion, and decided to induct them as interns as well.""It's our hope that all three winners will keep striving to do their best. May we all be graced with even more impressive work than the sublime pieces we've already had the pleasure to feast our eyes on tonight!"The hall was once again abuzz with excitement—it was the dream of any jewelry designer to get a job at the Continental!Naturally, it was Tina's dream too, so she could hardly believe what she was hearing."Really?! That's wonderful!"Still, Yvonne's joyful exclamation and Linda's ashened face were very much proof that it was true—that this was very real!And e

After Linda vandalized Sophie's gravestone, the graveyard's security got her number, saying that they would keep an eye and tell her right away if anyone got near Sophie's grave.Tina tapped on the photo sent to her and saw that it was Henry kneeling in front of Sophie's grave.So, he managed to find Sophie's grave anyway…Still, it was inevitable once he set his mind to it.The only reason he never knew about Sophie's death was that he did not care and refused to spare the effort to look.She replied to the text: [Thank you, but don't worry about him. He's Sophie's father.]With that, she put away her phone—Henry owed Sophie that much anyway.-The security guards ignored Henry as Tina told them to, although they would find him still kneeling there during every patrol.In fact, he stayed there through the night, and he only got up when the sun rose the next day."Daddy will come by tomorrow again," he said as he touched Sophie's little face and wobbled out of the graveyard.

The name was a sharp knife that stabbed viciously into Henry's heart, and his figure wobbled as if he could not take it.It took a long while for him to finally look up, his eyes red as he took Sophie's death certificate from Tina and saw the cause of death: kidney failure.His chest suddenly felt stuck and stuffy, suffocating him.Sophie was really dead.His daughter… dead!"Where's she buried?" he rasped.He wanted to see her anyway.On the other hand, Tina was endlessly indifferent even as she watched him hurt. "You have no right to visit Sophie. Don't bother her when she's resting in peace."A man who never stopped protecting Sophie's murderer certainly had no right! And with those words, Tina turned to leave.The only reason she came was because she did not want Madam Barnes to make this easy for Henry.She wanted to make him understand Sophie while making it very painful, so that it would hurt him.She had never bothered to hope for Henry to avenge Sophie, not when L

It was all true—Sophie was really sick and had kidney failure.Henry then remembered Sophie calling him, asking gingerly and tearfully, "Daddy, can you come visit me? I'm sick, and the injections hurt—""Don't lie like your mother." Henry had snapped coolly at her and hung up.He thought she was pretending to be sick just like before when Tina had asked her to.Now, he could not even imagine how hurt Sophie must have been.Rory had kidney failure too, but Henry was at her side during every injection.As for Sophie? Not even once.He had heartlessly rejected her the only time she mustered her courage to call him.He really had no right to call himself her father.He wobbled unsteadily even as the truths struck him one after the other."I didn't know that Sophie's really sick. I thought…"He tried to explain himself but could not just then.Now that he remembered, Tina had fired that maid, who was problematic in the first place.But now was not the time for that, nor the tim

Grabbing Tina's shoulders with his large hands, Henry's eyes were red as he cried, "What happened to Sophie? Why did she pass out? Why did she cough blood?"This time, Tina did not try to free herself from his grip, her eyes redder than Henry's as she held his gaze.After Madam Barnes found out that Sophie was dead, she knew that Henry would eventually find out anyway.So, when she saw the surprise Henry prepared for Sophie at the amusement park, she did not hesitate to tell him Sophie was dead in this fashion.Since he kept refusing to believe her, she would drive the point home in the way that would hurt him the most.She might be breaking her own heart, but she was breaking his too.It was always said that love that came too late was cheaper than dirt, and a father's love was no different.Even though she was shedding tears ever since the video started playing, it was only because her heart ached for Sophie—her eyes remained cold whenever she looked at Henry.Still, she had

No! That was impossible!Henry promptly shook her head, rejecting the thought that Sophie was dead as soon as it occurred to him!There was no way she could be dead—she was a perfectly healthy child, so how could she die just from being stood up at the amusement park?!Right, that was impossible!Tina was just giving him crap for making Sophie wait alone at the amusement park for so long because she loved Sophie too much and was too upset with him for playing favorites with Rory! That was why she would say something like that!At that moment, Henry was too scared to think or delve further, even if his reasoning was as weak as it was illogical.It was instinctive denial—denying the possibility that Sophie was really dead.He was so scared that he refused to accept that reality, because that would mean his remorse had come too late.He had finally just realized how much he owed Sophie and had just started to understand that he was a father and was learning how to love Sophie.As

However, Henry had no idea what Tina was showing him—all he knew was that he would see Sophie again once he was done watching it.And so, he let Andy play it, while he kept his eyes on the giant LED screen of the amusement park.Once connected, the screen lit up, and Henry saw that it was the front gates of the amusement park.Unsure what Tina was up to, he was ready to turn and ask when he saw that tiny figure.It was Sophie, whom he yearned to see so much.She wore a white down jacket and a pink rabbit-ear hat while carrying a duck backpack.Her outfit made her pinkish cheeks especially adorable, and it was obvious that she was wearing her favorite clothes for the date with Henry.After reaching the amusement park, she quietly stood in a corner, her cheeks flushed with excitement as she kept staring at the gates.At that moment, Henry realized something and looked at the right corner of the screen, and he saw that the date and time of the footage was the day he stood Sophie u

Pausing, Tina continued, "Before Rory returned, you were busy with work. When Rory returned, you were busy visiting her and had no time for Sophie."No, you weren't just busy—you couldn't even spare time to celebrate her birthday. But Sophie never blamed you, even asking me gingerly if she was a bad child, and if that was why you hated her and avoided her."I constantly made excuses for you because I didn't want her to be sad, saying that you were busy working and making money for our family."Sophie took it at face value and brought me her piggy bank that very night, telling me to give it to you to share your burden."She even told me to tell you that she didn't need toys or new clothes and could even skip her meals."She thought that if she saved money, you wouldn't be so burdened to make so much money and would have time to spend with her."She had no idea that her daddy's so rich that he wouldn't care for her piggy bank. He just didn't care to visit her."It's because you ne

At the amusement park, Henry was waiting at the gates once he confirmed that Tina was bringing Sophie.There was no hiding the thrill and joy on his face—he was looking forward to this.He used to be prejudiced against Sophie and despised her, which was why he had gone through long periods of time without seeing her.He had thought nothing of it back then, but he then realized that he had wrongfully blamed Tina for what had happened five years ago and came to see that Sophie was not a rotten apple like he thought.His heart softened as he found that she had patiently spent months making him a cup.And after watching the footage of her over the last five years, his fatherly love was now up and running at full speed.He kept seeing moments of Sophie's cuteness and yearned to see her even more—to hug her, kiss her, and tell her that her daddy loved her too.As time passed, Henry kept checking his watch, feeling that time was so slow for the first time, with every minute feeling lik

And once Sophie called him, he would find out where she was, and he would see her again.To avoid his phone line from being engaged, he had even blocked every other number for the day just so that Sophie's call would reach him right away.However, the citywide broadcast had started since this morning, and with the press and internet covering it, everyone in the city should know.So there was no way Sophie would be oblivious.However, his phone never rang.As more time passed, Henry's expression darkend.Sophie was a good girl—she would definitely call him when she saw this.The only explanation was that Tina had been stopping her.She did raise Sophie, and Sophie was as dependent as she was obedient, loving Tina very much in turn.If Tina stopped her, Sophie would listen and curb her impulse no matter how much she wanted it the other way.And Henry would not blame Sophie if she sided with Tina.But Tina… He had already done so much, so she should be feeling his sincerity t
