Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 41
Whitney sat and glared coldly at Tina.Tina's face had been an eyesore to her the first they met—she looked too much like that woman!On the other hand, Tina stood motionless, forced to stay silent despite being keen on maintaining her innocence.Among the members of the Barnes family, Whitney despised her the most—it was pointless to reason with her.Tina had expected Henry to at least give her a chance to defend herself too and did not think that he believed Linda and Rory's word at face value, denying her even that.She pursed her lips, fighting back the sense of helplessness inside.There really was nothing she could do against an opponent with so much support.That was when Irene snapped, "My mom told you to kneel!"Glee showed in her eyes, as she despised Tina too.Her mother had been telling her to win over her grandmother when she returned to this manor with her mother. And yet, her grandmother never liked her, instead favoring Tina and siding with her on every occas
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 42
Tears silently welled up in Tina's eyes as she nodded. "When did you wake up? When did you come back? Are you alright now?""I'm plenty fine!" Madam Barnes clapped her hand assuringly.-Meanwhile, Rory fell asleep after she cried enough in Henry's room on the third floor while Linda stood by, wiping her tears miserably.That is, until a servant knocked on the door. "Sir? Madam Barnes is asking for you and Ms. Cook downstairs."Hearing that, Henry was on his feet right then, delight showing in his eyes. "Grandma is back?"As he put down Rory and started downstairs, Linda remained behind, struck by terrible panic.If anything, she felt like she had sunk into the abyss upon hearing that Madam Barnes had returned, as she kept wondering why that relic managed to make it back.Was she not already comatose?! And now that she was back, would the truth of what happened five years ago not be exposed?!-As Henry arrived at the drawing room downstairs and saw that it really was Madam B

Taking the phone and watching the footage, Madam Barnes' gaze soon darkened.Then, she looked up and snapped, "Kneel!"Irene had been keeping her head down panicking ever since Tina claimed that she had proof, even ready to apologize.Nonetheless, her eyes lit up at Madam Barnes' sudden outburst, straightening herself confidently once more.She knew it—Tina never had proof, and she had almost believed it for a second!When Rory ran toward Tina, she was standing at the opposite side of the pond and saw everything!Irene was the only one there beside them too, so as long as she insisted it was Tina, Tina would never be able to maintain her innocence!Then, seeing that Tina was still standing there, she glowered and snapped, "Tina Smith! You heard Grandma—kneel!"She even grabbed Tina's arm to make her kneel, only for Madam Barnes to bellow at her, "I'm talking about you!""Me?!" Irene exclaimed in shock but promptly dropped to her knees with a thud when she saw Madam Barnes' f

Madam Barnes was clearly taken aback for a moment, but she could not resist an admiring smile as she glanced at Tina.Her girlie was finally complaining instead of suffering injustice in silence!Well done!Still, her smile soon faded as she leveled a cutting glare at Linda.Linda feared Madam Barnes in the first place, and she was left gritting her teeth when Tina deliberately directed Madam Barnes' attention to herself.But there was nothing she could do about it, aside from quietly tugging on Henry's sleeve and calling out softly, "Henry…"She wanted him to bail her out.However, there was only silence.Then, as she sneakily glanced upward, her heart skipped a beat when she saw Henry's icy glare.As she looked down, her mind raced.When she looked up again, tears were welling up in her eyes as she choked with miserable tears. "I'm so sorry, Tina… I was just so worried about Rory that I didn't know what I was saying. I didn't mean it."There was no telling if she was expla

Even if Madam Barnes did not tell Linda to leave, her words could well be a slap to Linda's face, utterly humiliating her.Indeed, all the pride Linda felt after Whitney and Irene fawned over her had vaporized.Even Henry was silent when he turned toward her, and she knew that Madam Barnes was the one family member that Henry cared for the most.And when she turned toward Whitney, the woman was scowling, not even looking at her.Clenching her hand so hard her nails dug into her palm, her smile faded even as she forced herself to stay polite. "I'll be leaving now, Madam Barnes.""I'll take you and Rory home." Henry stood up as well."Stop!" Madam Barnes snapped and suddenly started coughing violently.Henry's face dropped as he turned, hurrying to Madam Barnes with a look of worry. "Grandma!"Tina's face dropped too as she clapped Madam Barnes on the back while turning to Sam. "Get Dr. Sandler!"Even Whitney hurried to her as well. "Mom…"That was when Tina felt Madam Barnes t
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 46
"Get out," Madam Barnes snapped coolly.In the end, Irene was still her granddaughter, so she did not continue to punish Irene.Moreover, she had other things to do.With that, Whitney promptly helped Irene to her feet, and they fled the room. Once the door shut from the outside, Madam Barnes suddenly wheeled on Henry and snapped, "Kneel!"Though Henry did so right away, she kept snapping, "You promised me that you'd take care of Tina! Is this how you go about it?!"Not only did he not do so, but he was conspiring with a bitch like Linda to bully Tina.Linda, Irene, and Whitney might be despicable, but Henry was way worse!"Fetch that spiked whip," Madam Barnes told Sam then."Madam Barnes…" Sam was hesitant but stopped with just a look.Glowering, Madam Barnes growled, "No one defends him."Tina knew that Madam Barnes was saying it for her benefit, in case she would start begging as she could not bear to see Henry hurt.However, there was no way that was the case.Still,
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 47
Henry's large hand pulled her by the waist so that their bodies were pressing together intimately, and he bit her lip punishingly.His breath scalded as his fingers caressed her hip, rasping as he felt her shuddering in his arms, "You're teasing me on purpose, aren't you?"Tina pressed her hands feebly against his chest as his masculine hormones shrouded her, distancing herself while retorting stubbornly, "No."She struggled to get off her, pulling his hand off, only for him to pull her down again, this time making her straddle him.Tina could even feel her earlobes burning, whether it was his breath or something else…"No?" Henry leveled his dark gaze at her scarlet earlobes—she always was sensitive, and they were also bewitchingly red like a blossoming flower, luring one to pluck it.Gulping, Henry held the back of her head and kissed her, and she could not stop him tearing through her teeth, pressing in invasively.She wanted to get away, but he held her waist and nape, force

Tina did not stop despite Henry's rage, even pressing, "I'm trying to say that if there had been cameras around that swimming pool, it begs the question if things would have turned out as they did today.""Tina!" Henry snapped, agitated as he pressed hard on her back, any warmth between them vaporizing right then."Guh!" Tina could not help grunting from the pain, and he withdrew his hand.Still, he stood up, looking downward at her as he growled coolly, "Even if you didn't push Rory today, it doesn't mean that Sophie didn't that other day."With that, he turned to leave.Tina slowly sat up as she buttoned her blouse, her eyes cool.She had thought that given the identical scenario, Henry would feel doubts even if he did not trust her.As it turned out, she had simply underestimated the place Rory and Linda had in Henry's heart.-At Whitney's house, Irene sat on the couch, having just taken her medicine but still tearing up from the pain.Looking at the knees that were red f

As soon as Henry heard that Tina was hurt and hospitalized, he got into his car and rushed to the hospital, only to see John touching her upon arrival.However, John had already been furious with Henry when he found Tina in her tragic state.If he had not dumped her at that isolated place, she would not have suffered so much.Hence, John stood up.Henry presumed that he was backing down and released his grip, only for John to suddenly get up and punch him in the face viciously.It came so quickly it caught Henry off guard, and it struck him true.While John was a gentleman, and this was the first time that he had ever punched anyone, he did it so viciously.Henry stumbled backward once before catching his balance and felt blood in his mouth.Still, his face contorted savagely, but as he was about to return the punch, Tina suddenly got out of bed.She knew him too well and scrambled out of bed to stand in front of John.Henry's eyes widened and promptly stopped, his fist just

"Tina!" John cried, grimacing in heartache as he dropped to one knee, wrapping his coat around her before carefully picking her up.However, she was hurting everywhere after the robber kicked her repeatedly.She gasped in pain without knowing as John touched her and could not see where she was hurt under her clothes.She was not loud, but the pain in his eyes showed even more.He gathered her in his arms even more carefully this time, while Ian drove over in his black Maybach.Ian opened the door, and John put Tina in the backseat, barking, "Get us to the hospital!"At his order, Ian floored the gas pedal and sped off.-Much later, John was sitting by a hospital bed, his eyes fixed on Tina, who lay frailly on it.The doctor told him that Tina was bruised all over, clearly having been kicked repeatedly.John's heart clenched at the thought, his pain welling out.That was when Tina woke up and found herself staring at John's dark gaze right away.She was awake but also felt

The robber started fantasizing—once he got rich, he would kick his wife and the three money sinks to the curb and get himself a young pretty face to carry his genes.With that thought, he cheerfully returned to his bike and sped off, not caring about what happened to Tina.She lay on the ground, watching as the last thing she kept of Sophie disappeared from her sight, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Sophie…"In time, her body slowly turned stiff from the cold as she lay on the icy ground.Her tears would dry up quickly, but more would flow soon after.There was no telling how long had passed before she completely passed out.-After getting Henry's call, Andy promptly drove to where Tina was, but she was not there when he arrived.He alighted and yelled, "Ms. Smith!"There was no response, so he returned to his car and called Henry, but the call was cut off right away.After all, Henry had called him to pick Tina up while he sent his people to save Linda. At this time, he m

Furious, the robber lunged at Tina viciously. "You bitch! You asked for this!"Tina was flat on her back and did not have the strength to fight back as the robber charged at her again.She could only curl up to hold onto the necklace containing Sophie's bone."Give it up!" However, the robber was a blue collar worker and very strong.His hands were like pliers that grabbed firmly on her arm as he attempted to unfold her.He did not expect Tina to hold on so tightly that his temple veins were bulging, and he could not even pull her arm off."Fuck! Don't think I can't make you budge!" he swore as he sprang to his feet again. Unable to pull her off, he kicked her repeatedly.He did not hold back, just like how he never held back on beating his wife whenever he got too drunk.In fact, he was furious this time and kicked Tina even harder.However, Tina only curled into herself even tighter amid the pain.Even as she started blacking out, she held onto the necklace containing

Tina was the one who had taken care of Sophie from birth.Since jewelry was cumbersome when taking care of children, she was used to not wearing it even after Sophie's death.At most, she wore a watch to work—hers was not all that valuable, but she took it off even though it was hidden under her sleeve.Having given the robber everything, and seeing that he was still measuring her from head to toe, she said earnestly, "I really have nothing else."She had been very compliant, and the robber believed her and started stuffing everything into the handbag.However, just as he was about to get on his bike, he spotted the necklace around Tina's neck.His face dropping, he hung the handbag on the bike while snarling as he returned to Tina, grabbing her shoulder, "You bitch! You lied to me!"He was a big man and could crush her collarbone right then.Even as Tina shuddered in pain, she did not know what had gotten the robber upset, fighting back her panic as she said, "I've really give

It was a voice that would invoke any man's chivalry."I won't leave!" Henry promised Linda again.Relieved, Linda calmly closed her eyes, her breathing turning rhythmic.Thinking that she was asleep, Henry pulled his hand away…"Henry!"Linda promptly jolted awake, her eyes wide open.However, seeing that Henry was just moving to sit by the bed, she calmly closed her eyes again, this time holding firmly on his shirt to keep him.Nothing would change, even if Henry found out that Tina was not the one who had drugged him five years ago!In his mind, Linda would always be his savior, the woman he loved the most!He would love her like nothing ever happened no matter what she had gone through, and Tina had no right to compete with her!-Meanwhile, Tina continued walking along the eerily silent road after Henry had left her there.She would be lying if she said she was not scared, but she fought her fear and hurried along.It would take several hours to reach the city, but tha

It was a line that reminded Henry of that moment five years ago, and he nodded. "Yeah. I told you I'd never let you get hurt again, Linda."The single line offered Linda assurance, and she threw herself into Henry's arms."Henry…" She sobbed endlessly, at once hysterical and miserable. "You came for me!"Pained, Henry pursed his lips and scooped her up in his arms. "It's alright. I'm taking you home right now.""Yeah," Linda murmured, hugging his neck and pressing her cheek against his chest, shuddering endlessly.She seemed horrified, refusing to leave his embrace.And that was how Henry carried her to his car, quietly telling the chauffeur to head to Rose Garden.It was almost ten when they arrived.As Henry carried Linda inside as well, the maid heard them and came out.Bowing respectfully at the two when she saw them, she said, "Mr. Barnes, Ms. Cook. Rory's asleep.""Good," Henry replied quietly and leaned down to tell Linda tenderly, "We're home, Linda."Linda did not s

Seeing that Henry was stopping to listen, the man's eyes lit up with hope, and he quickly said, "It's the truth, Mr. Barnes—I'm not lying! She really came on to us!"That woman's acting was just too good.If they had not personally been there, even they would have doubted that the same person who came on to them was also the same person who had accused them!"It's the truth, Mr. Barnes!" the other man promptly echoed, his tone earnest as he tried to convince Henry.Regret was twisting their insides to a bunch too, as they did not have evidence—if they did, they would have shown it!They had been feeling gleeful earlier that they were doing it in a place without cameras.And now, they could not even defend themselves!Henry looked at them then.He could see that they were just stopping short of swearing it was the truth, and there was no hint of guilt in their eyes as they looked at him in turn."No!!! Get away from me!!! Please don't touch me!!! Henry!!! Henry!!!"But even as

Henry's eyes were on Tina even as he held his cigarette and answered the phone.Tina ignored him as he had clearly mentioned Linda's name to screw with her, but just as she got up, Henry's face dropped.He dropped his cigarette on her too, and she flinched in pain, losing her balance and falling again.However, Henry was busy assuring Linda endlessly as she screamed in terror on the other end. "Calm down! I'm coming right now—I'll save you! It's alright!"He did not hang up as he continued offering words of comfort, completely ignoring Tina as if she was never there.As soon as he returned to his car, he floored the gas pedal, disappearing into the night."Henry Barnes!" Tina yelled just as she got up, but her voice was drowned out by the roaring engine, and she was left standing as she watched Henry's car disappear from sight.A cold breeze blew just then, and the rustle of leaves echoed on both sides of the road.As Tina shuddered, she picked up her bag from the ground and to
