The video was the nail on the coffin, and Linda could not argue against it.Henry's face was cold as he reached out to take the phone from Tina and stared fixedly at the video.There was no question about it—that was Rory, standing in the garden in the middle of winter, her feet bare and wearing nothing but a thin sleeping gown.It was such an impactful scene that Henry wheeled on Linda with a furious glare, bellowing, "What's the meaning of this?!""It's not what you think…" Linda certainly could tell that Henry was furious, and her mind raced to come up with an excuse.However, none of the stuff she saw online was a reason she could use to justify abusing Rory.Worse of all, as she struggled to explain herself, the bodyguards returned with Rory in tow.Rory was beaming happily when she saw Henry's car outside and rushed inside, calling out, "Daddy!"She missed Henry as it had been days since he visited.As he rushed inside, she seemed to not notice anyone else and ran str

Rory did not hesitate to shake her head. "No, she didn't."Zach had the strongest response to that answer.Losing control of himself right then, he yelled out loud, "What do you mean she didn't?!"He was so loud that he sent Rory running into Henry's arms.Seeing that, he did his best to calm down and speak softly. "You're scared because your mommy hurt you, aren't you? You won't tell the truth because you're too scared of her?"You don't have to be scared—I'm your real daddy, and I promise to protect you from now on. You mommy won't get to hurt you ever again. Just be brave and tell the truth…"After such obvious abuse, Zach could not come up with another reason why his daughter would not hesitate to deny that Linda was hurting her.However, Rory only hugged Henry even tighter at Zach's words. "I'm telling the truth. Mommy loves me very much—she has never hurt me… Wahhh!!!"She trailed off, suddenly bursting into tears. "No! You're lying! You're not my daddy!"She utterly des

Even Linda was stunned that Rory insisted that she had never abused her and loved her very much, not expecting Rory to defend her without hesitation at all.However, she had no time to dwell on it and promptly seized the chance and cried, "See, Henry?! I don't care that they are slandering me, but why would you doubt me for abusing Rory?!"She's my flesh and blood, and I love her to bits—how could I bear to hurt her?"Are you really going to believe everything they said? Am I that evil and horrible in your eyes?"It was Rory's teacher who abused her! You can investigate it yourself if you don't believe me!"Tina looked on as everything unfolded.Even if Henry said nothing, she could tell from his eyes that he believed Linda again.After all, kids would not lie.Moreover, Linda was his one true love—a kind person incapable of evil.Oh, the irony… On the other hand, Zach had never thought through this.As he watched Rory defend Linda while the latter lied through her teeth,

"Yeah." Rory nodded. "I couldn't get you, Daddy, so I ran outside because I was so worried. It was so cold, my legs were frozen stiff, and I couldn't walk… Daddy, you have to answer my calls from now on, okay?"In reality, Rory had a good memory and naturally remembered when Linda had made her stand outside the house in the snow.It was all because Linda had told her to call Henry because he must be seeing Sophie and Tina again, but she could not because Henry's phone was turned off.Linda got very upset and called Rory useless and made her stand outside to reflect.Rory had wanted to get dressed first, but Linda refused to let her.But now, Rory did not tell the truth, instead backing up Linda's claims and tugged on Henry endearingly toward the end."Okay." Henry nodded.Rory was just seven—it did not cross his mind that a child could lie.As Tina could see the sympathy in his eyes, the coldness in her threatened to flow out.That man really deserved death!"Rory, why would

Henry growled icily, "Get out of the way, Tina.""I told you, Henry—I'm taking Zach with me," Tina retorted coolly, glaring at him in turn. "If you dare to take Zach to the cops and charge him with rape, then I'll dare to tell the world about Rory's roots, so that everyone knows that she's the daughter of a rapist."Henry glowered right then, covering Rory's ears before he knew it, to protect her from Tina's words which might hurt her young, vulnerable spirit.He glared coldly at Tina, his tone still icy. "Rory is innocent." Tina should not be extending her spite on a mere child, even if she despised him and Linda!Tina completely ignored the threat in Henry's eyes, however, and fired back with a voice colder than his. "Hah! So Rory's innocent, and Sophie wasn't?"No matter how long had passed, she felt pained for Sophie to see Henry doting on Rory, while Sophie had to suffer all the abuse and neglect at the hands of Henry.Still, Henry's menacing presence seemed to fade consid

Linda was really putting on a performance to show how much she cared about Rory, but doing it also meant she was discrediting Tina in Henry's mind.It was so that Henry would understand that even if there were misunderstandings before, Tina was now evil anyway.But Tina did not care and even sneered. "What has that to do with me? I'm an evil schemer, and I would do anything to get what I want—it's not like either of you have only realized that now."Tina's tone was filled with irony.Ever since Linda showed up as Henry's one true love, they had quickly labeled Tina as a villainess, did they not?They kept saying that she would do anything to get what she wanted, did they not?And now, she was simply living up to their slander and showing them how far she would go to bring them down.Even Linda was stumped when she realized what Tina was getting at.Still, that was when Henry said quietly, "I know you're not like that."He used to think of her that way, only because they had a

Tina turned toward a speechless Linda, her smile broadening in contempt. "I'm evil, so I can ignore what happens to Rory.""But are you really going to ignore it too? You keep saying you love your daughter so much, don't you? So as a mother, how could you bear to subject your precious daughter to the contempt of everyone else?"But as long as you refrain from accusing Zach, he won't be a rapist—there won't be any trouble that way, will there?"Linda's mouth opened and closed repeatedly, but she could not manage a single word.It was the perfect opportunity to have Zach jailed once and for all, eliminating him as a threat.She really could not give up that easily.But if she did not, all her claims that she loved Rory would be moot.And if word got out that she was 'raped', she would have no hope of marrying Henry!As such, this matter must be kept under wraps and never see the light of day.Tina had really forced her to back down on her own!Turning toward Henry, Linda said,

As Tina led Zach out of Rose Garden, John hurried to her when he saw her, having been waiting outside the gates.While he was right outside and had heard everything and knew that Tina was fine, he still could not help studying her from head to toe.As Henry stepped out, he just happened to see Tina leaving in John's car, and his gaze darkened.-Soon, Zach was taken back to John's villa where he was held before.He immediately curled up on the couch, clutching his own head in silence—it had really been a terrible day for him.Nonetheless, Tina sat opposite him. "Zach Foster."Zach ignored her and did not look up at all.Tina did not take offense and continued calmly, "You should know very well what would've happened to you if I hadn't bailed you out today."I'm no saint, and I'm not going to help someone who tried to murder me before."Pausing as she saw Zach's fingers clearly stiffen, she continued, "You probably know what I want. You have one day to think about the leverage

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'

"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

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.

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

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

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
