Henry's visage was ice-cold. "Buried?! Does it hurt you to stop cursing your own daughter?!"Tina wobbled, her eyes red as she glanced at her daughter's photo on the nightstand, which happened to be staring straight at Henry.Ever since Sophie was born, she loved her father to bits, no matter how cold Henry was to her.At that moment, Tina thought she saw hope in her daughter's eyes—hope for him to accompany on her final journey before her next life.Tina took Henry's arm just then, turning toward him to speak once more for Sophie's sake. "I'm telling you the truth. Sophie is really—"Henry looked into her tearful gaze, seeing the genuine pain within.But those eyes only reminded him of the day of the design competition, when he had been deceived by those same eyes!"You're incorrigible!"Henry shoved her away so violently that he sent the pendant he always carried around flying straight at Tina's face.She turned in reflex but was struck on the temple anyway."Oof…"As Tina

Linda feigned composure.Ever since she returned to the country, Henry would always give them a million each month, and more after Rory fell sick.As such, a million dollars was really nothing to Linda."You'd better not play any tricks!" Quentin shot Linda a warning glare and left as Henry came over, disappearing into a corner.Henry stared at the direction of which he left. "Trouble?""Nothing—just asking for directions," Linda replied calmly.Henry did not press the issue, and they left the hospital together.-Meanwhile, at Maple Park, Tina had slept for an entire day, waking up in the evening.She was famished as she went a day without eating. She got changed and ordered a large plate of pasta at the cafe opposite the apartment.Her body warmed up as she took small bites.As she paid up and headed back, the skies had darkened.Maple Park was ideally positioned, but the apartment itself was old and the streetlights were poorly maintained. Then, as Tina passed through

The bellboy nodded at once. "Yes, Mr. Barnes!"Through it all, Linda said nothing as she leaned against Henry, but she turned to smile at Tina just before they went in.Tina was left clenching her knuckles, as one sentence from Henry denied her entry no matter what she might do.Still, she moved to wait for John by a pillar facing the doorway.With the pouring rain, the umbrella could not shield her entirely, and she was mostly soaked over the back.She was shaking from the cold, looking utterly miserable.Even so, she stood there, staring at the front entrance with determination.Later, Andy stepped out with an umbrella. "Ms. Smith, Mr. Barnes has asked me to take you home—""No," Tina refused coolly, ignoring him from then on, and continued to wait for John in silence.Unable to get Tina to leave, Andy called Henry. "Sir, she's not leaving…""Leave her be," Henry snapped coolly and hung up, so Andy left too.Meanwhile, the cold winds of the rainy night cut into Tina's bone
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 34
As Tina quickly alighted, John followed, holding up an umbrella to keep her dry.Time passed, but it was soon past the agreed time, and Quentin had still yet to show up.Unable to wait, Tina called him—and just as she did, a phone rang in the alley behind her.She did not notice at first, but she realized something was unusual when her call reached voicemail a third time.John noticed it too, and they traded glances before heading into the alley together.Soon, they notice a man lying motionless in a pool of blood nearby.He continued to bleed, dyeing the ground at their feet red.Stunned, Tina stumbled backward, but John caught her with perfect timing.Tina gulped, her hands shaking as she called the number again, and a phone started ringing from the man's body.Tina turned pale, and she scrambled to Quentin's side, dropping to her knees to push him up and shrieking, "No, don't die! Get up! You haven't told me who it was!"This time, John could not catch her and had to hurry

The leading surgeon sighed. "I'm sorry—we've done our best."Tina was left thunderstruck, her knees buckling, and she started to wobble.John caught her, holding her by the shoulder and quietly offering her support."Are you Ms. Smith?" the surgeon then asked."Yes…" Tina's voice was very soft, as if all her strength had left her.The truth was within reach… but the witness was dead!"He wants to see you."Tina looked up right then, pausing for a moment to make sure she heard him right, then scrambled inside the operating room.The nurses had left, and it was just her and Quentin.Rushing to his side, she asked urgently, "Please, sir. I've wired the one million you asked for. Tell me, who was it?"Quentin's gaze was unfocused, but he rasped with his dying breath nonetheless, "It's your rival… Linda Cook…"Tina's eyes widened at the name, as she felt a chill running up from her toes to the rest of her body.And clearly aware that he was on borrowed time, Quentin panted to

Tina had just gotten on a cab when Whitney Barnes called her."There's a luncheon today. Come help out," she said and hung up right after.It was a command—Henry's aunt had always treated her like a servant in the family.Even though Madam Barnes declared that Tina was a daughter of the family after her stepmother passed away, the Barnes never acknowledged that.They therefore did not acknowledge Sophie either, since Henry did not acknowledge Sophie as well, even though Tina and Sophie lived with Henry under one roof for five years.Still, Tina was smirking as she heard Linda over the phone and told the cabbie, "Barnes Ranch."An hour later, the cab stopped outside the private lane leading to Barnes Ranch.The Barnes did not want to be bothered, so they bought every other piece of land around their ranch and denied entry to all public vehicles.After Tina alighted, she had to walk for thirty minutes to reach the main house.As soon as she entered, she saw everyone hovering aro

Henry inhaled sharply, his gaze darkening as he watched Tina.Opposite them, Linda gritted her teeth so hard that they could break.That bitch!"Who told you to sit?!" Whitney snapped at her coldly nonetheless. "Look at the time—get cooking!""Yes, ma'am." Tina slowly got up, releasing Henry's hand but brushing her fingertip down his spine.Feeling the soft touch down his back, Henry stiffened as he inhaled sharply again."I'll help." Linda got up, lying through her teeth.Irene stopped her, however. "No, you don't have to—that's a servant's work, and you're going to be Mrs. Barnes soon. Right, Henry?""Yeah," Henry murmured distractedly, his eyes still on Tina.Tina paused for just a second at the doorway but soon continued forward.Then, Irene started pulling along Linda and Rory. "Come on, let's take a stroll in the gardens."Linda turned to Henry. "Are you coming with us?""No, I have things to do," he replied and headed upstairs.-Meanwhile, Tina soon found herself
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 38
Tina had undoubtedly been cold to Henry for a while, and the sudden return of her enthusiasm was too tempting to resist.As he kissed her even more fiercely, the kitchen seemed to heat up…Meanwhile, unable to find Henry, Linda saw the kitchen servant who was supposed to be working outside and remembered that Whitney had sent them away on purpose.And Tina was alone in the kitchen…Her gaze turning sinister right then, she started toward it, her heels clicking in her wake.Seeing that, Irene quickly said, "He's not in the kitchen, Linda."Linda did not respond and continued onward.Henry heard them, and his rationality returned.However, he did not release Tina and kept kissing her, relishing the taste until the footsteps closed in.As he released Tina and took a step back, her knees buckled. She almost fell and had to lean against the worktop.She stared at Henry, who was barely a pace away, looking sharply dressed and refined, unlike her miserable state.As if it was someo

Tina glared viciously at Henry, who was pig-brained whenever Linda was concerned. "That pendant was never Linda's! She got it from someone else! You had the wrong person from the start!"If it was not for her mother, Madam Barnes, and Sophie's sake, she would not even bother talking to Henry, as she did not want him to keep protecting Linda mindlessly because he thought she was her savior.Otherwise, he could treat Linda as whoever he thought she was—she would not care!Henry stared at Tina in turn, asking before he knew it, "If Linda isn't Orange, then who is?"That was when Linda suddenly appeared at the doorway, crying out tearfully before Tina could speak, "Tina! What do I have to do for you to stop?!"You paid off Zach Foster to try to turn Henry against me! Now that it has gone south, you're lying to Henry that I'm not Orange! What do you want from me?!"And I'm not Orange, you say? Then who's Orange? You?!"However, Tina's eyes flared with irrational hatred the instant Li

Henry's eyes widened, unable to believe what he was hearing.It was Linda? How could it be so?!On the other hand, Mrs. Fuller could not help cringing from the cold air that seemed to spill from Henry.There was no turning back now that she already betrayed Linda, and she was genuinely terrified of Henry. As such, she decided to turn to Tina, who, between the two, was much more agreeable.She really did not want to end up in prison, and hence started begging, "Please, Ms. Smith—I'll tell you everything I know, just don't call the cops on me."Trust me—I never wanted to hurt your mother… But Linda Cook paid me so much, and I was tricked into doing such a thing."I have a big family with many mouths to feed… they're all hopeless without me. And you're so kind—you're not going to destroy my family, right?"Mrs. Fuller could have spent the money for her son's future, and then assumed a new identity to keep working.But now that she was exposed, she thought she could bank on Tina'
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 418
"Argh!!!"Mrs. Fuller could feel her collarbone breaking, and the agony left her face contorting!At that moment, she realized that Tina and Henry might have noticed something.But that should not be possible!She made sure the hallways were clear and even closed the curtains just in case.No one should have known!Still, even as Mrs. Fuller panicked, she told herself to stay calm.That was when Tina pulled out the IV drip needle and got out of bed."Tina!"Henry noticed that right away and turned to hold her down by her shoulder. "Just leave this to me. I'll make sure she suffers."She was too weak now, after all.However, Tina shook his hand off and strode toward Mrs. Fuller.Henry frowned but did not stop her since she was insistent, staying behind her while keeping a close eye on her.Mrs. Fuller was naturally relieved that it was Tina, who was definitely more agreeable between her and Henry.Henry was so scary that just one look made Mrs. Fuller think she was going t
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 417
However, Mrs. Fuller soon composed herself and leveled a wounded look at Tina."If you think it's my fault that this happened to Mrs. Smith, then I quit!" she snapped, tears welling up in her eyes as she complained, looking utterly aggrieved. "I believe I've done everything I could to take good care of your mother and have never once slacked. She has been good to me and treated me like her sister."I know that Mrs. Smith had an accident while I was away, and you held it against me. That was my negligence, and I'm sorry because I shouldn't have left her alone."But you can't blame her for going to shock me over one instance of negligence. You have no evidence and yet you still suspect me! You're breaking my heart!"However, Tina's question was just probing at best.There were just too many coincidences—Mrs. Smith first had an accident, and then went into shock in the half hour when she was gone.But it would all make sense if this was all done on purpose.And if it was, then Mrs.
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 416
Mrs. Fuller had heard rumors of her colleagues doing the same thing, with none being the wiser.So she could not help being interested—and did it.She was supposed to take Mrs. Smith's life right then and there and was surprised by a nurse who came in doing her rounds.Hearing the nurse come in, Mrs. Fuller promptly reattached Mrs. Smith's oxygen tube and hurried off to a corner to look busy. Mrs. Smith had already gone into shock by then, and the nurse immediately noticed that something was wrong.Mrs. Fuller played along, feigning panic when the nurse pressed the call button.Everything went smoothly—even if Mrs. Smith survived, she was in a vegetative state and was no different from dead.Just the thought that she would soon get 500 grand left Mrs. Fuller's hands shaking in excitement. [She's not dead, but she's in a vegetative state. Dr. Sandler even told Ms. Smith to prepare for the worst, so she might be gone before long anyway.]Linda could not help smiling smugly whe
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 415
Yancy was himself on the way to the hospital when he called Henry, and his expression was somber as he hung up.Even as he sped toward the hospital, he was left wondering how Mrs. Smith suddenly went into shock, when her condition was clearly stabilizing?She was already weak after a major surgery, and the shock came with terrible timing.If they could not save her in time, she would die.And even if they did, she might remain comatose, staying in a vegetative state.Even as the thought crossed Yancy's mind, he floored the gas pedal again.Every second counted for such medical crises, and just being early by one minute might make all the difference.And Yancy prayed that Mrs. Smith would be fine.-Tina was pale as she stood outside the doors of the emergency room.She and Jimmy were going to take turns taking care of Mrs. Smith, as there was no reason for two people to stay with her at the same time.As such, Tina told Jimmy to go home to rest and come tomorrow so they coul
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 414
On the other hand, Linda felt gleeful about it too.Sophie was six feet under but had never once experienced such fatherly love from Henry.It all went to Rory instead.Smart as ever, Rory called out to Linda just then, "Mommy." Linda hurried over as Rory held out a hand while she remained in Henry's arms.Linda quickly grasped Rory's hand and used that as an excuse to move beside Henry, even pressing herself against him.Her spirits soared as she inhaled that mature masculine scent of his.How could she ever let go of his man?No matter what happened, she would never let Henry find out that Tina was Orange.Henry was hers and hers alone!As Linda subtly pressed herself closer to Henry, they looked just like a blissful family of three in the distance.Still, she had to get up when the specialist Henry recruited hurried over, and Henry told Rory to lie down.After the specialists took turns to examine Rory, Henry went with them to the office to speak about her condition in
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 413
Hearing that there was evidence, Tina's spirit soared.After countless attempts on her own life and pulling herself together, she told herself repeatedly that she must be patient—that she must not break before she avenged Sophie.That she must never rush things and always be calm, and never let Henry or Linda get to her.However, how could she not get impatient?Linda had murdered her baby, and her hatred for Linda cut deep into her bones.Even in her dreams, she wanted justice for Sophie.But now, knowing that Linda was a fraud all along, Tina could not wait to get her hands on the evidence and rip off Linda's mask of lies as Henry watched!"Where's the evidence, Mom?" Tina pressed urgently.Beside Mrs. Smith's bed, Mrs. Fuller leaned closer when Mrs. Smith said there was evidence.Mrs. Smith's voice was too soft for her to catch, and Jimmy and Tina were both too focused on Mrs. Smith to notice what she was doing anyway.However, just before Mrs. Smith could tell Tina where
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 412
Crash!However, just as Mrs. Smith finished, Mrs. Fuller suddenly staggered and knocked over a bedside lamp.It shattered loudly on the floor, drowning out Mrs. Smith's already enfeebled voice."I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Mrs. Fuller apologized repeatedly as she dropped down to pick up the pieces, and no one paid attention to that minor distraction after.Still, Henry missed what Mrs. Smith said and was about to ask what it was when Linda grabbed his arm and caught his attention. "Please, Henry—Tina's mother's surgery was a success. She can wait, but Rory can't."She's really in terrible danger—anything else can wait. Can't you go to Rory now?"Linda's tears poured as she pleaded miserably, as all she wanted was to get Henry away from this place.Once she did, she would use Rory to buy even more time while she came up with a plan.Henry had to agree that Linda was right—there was a priority to things.Mrs. Smith's surgery was a success, and she had already passed her risk period—t
