Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 56
With those words, Tina put away the magazine, ignoring Linda as she opened the door and left.Linda was left gritting her teeth.Trying to steal Henry from her?! Dream on!Still, she quickly composed herself and headed out with a smile.Glancing at Tina as she used the printer, Linda suddenly asked out loud, "Everyone! Why don't we have dinner together tonight?"Someone asked jokingly, "Are you buying?"Linda smiled and nodded. "Yes, Henry just called, saying that he's inviting everyone to Orange Tower tonight to celebrate my new job. Is everyone here able to make it?""Yes, yes, of course!""We're talking about Orange Tower! I'll go even if hell rains down upon me! The food is extraordinary, and we can have a taste thanks to Linda!"It was both a joke and a statement of fact—Orange Tower was the most famous restaurant in Jadelight and a subsidiary of Barnes Group.Only the rich and powerful got to go there."It's really nothing. Just make sure to order anything you like." L
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 57
However, Henry did not distance himself and was clearly waiting for Linda to explain herself.Tina was left smirking—so that was the difference between the loved and unloved.Linda had already admitted to winning by unsavory means, something which Henry despised, but he was still willing to let her defend himself.What about Tina? Linda just needed to say the word, and Henry would find her guilty even without proof.Scenes of the past flashed in Tina's mind just then.If she did not explain herself, she was confessing.If she did, it was sophistry.If she snapped, she was just being crazy.As grief and bitterness welled up within her, Tina's nose turned runny, but it all only came to a cool chuckle. "Heh."Henry heard it and looked up at her, narrowing his eyes dangerously.Tina's smile turned cool, as the answer was obvious—she had lost.She did not linger and returned to Tidal Court.She never hoped for Henry to see Linda's true face with this much anyway, let alone get
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 58
Releasing Henry's arm just then, Linda walked up to her seat, picking up her glass and pouring it full. "Sorry I have to leave early, but let's have a toast!"Tina did not move, so Linda stared pointedly at her.As everyone else followed suit, Tina had no choice but to take a half-hearted sip.She was already tipsy after drinking a little earlier.On the other hand, as Linda chugged her drink, she wobbled as she put her glass down, falling unsteadily into Henry's arms.Rubbing her temples as if sick, her gaze was unfocused as she purred, "I'm feeling faint… Let's go home, Henry."That last part was clearly to tell everyone how intimated they were."Yeah." Henry nodded, putting a hand around her waist and leading her out of Tidal Court.But as he turned, his gaze darkened as he glanced at Tina again, who kept her head down and never looked at him.-Everyone was clearly relieved about Henry's departure nonetheless—even if they were keen to meet a big-shot like him, the formles

However, Henry stayed outside and growled, "Take her home."With that, he shut the door.Linda had her eyes closed, ready for Henry to do anything he liked to her when he heard the door shut.Her eyes were suddenly wide open, her drunkenness all gone.She sat up, staring in disbelief at the empty backseat for a moment before opening the door and grabbing Henry's wrist. Looking at him with dewy eyes, she asked meekly, "Where are you going, Henry? Aren't you taking me home?"Henry stared at her coolly with a look that seemed to stop her breath, leaving her unable to purr any further.She knew him too well and naturally knew that he was furious.She thought that Henry's willingness to show up with her at Tidal Court meant that he loved her so much he would abandon his principles for her.This was the first time she had done something like that anyway, and it was insignificant compared to his life.But she was wrong, and it left her panicking—Henry's love was the only thing she
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 60
As Henry approached, his powerful masculine musk shrouded her, with Linda's perfume in the mix.The combination of the two—the hint of flirting—left Tina retching. "Bleurgh!""Don't you dare!"Henry's face dropped, and he promptly released her to sidestep away, remembering how Tina had vomited into his face before.Still, Tina did not let it out—she seized the moment to stride toward a bench, reclining against it to ease her dizziness.Once she caught her breath, she ignored Henry and whipped out her phone, ready to call for a cab.Henry stood there, watching her with an impassive gaze before taking out his phone too and tapped on the screen a few times before pocketing it again.Before Tina could get a cab, a bank app notification appeared on her screen.She tapped on it and was left staring at a wire transfer from Henry, and she frowned at the number of zeros.What?Tina was too sluggish from alcohol to understand, until Henry's deep voice spoke overhead, "It's twice the pr

Henry was ready to jump into the pond when he saw Tina stand up, and he scowled as he forcefully grabbed her wrist, pulling her out of the pond.Then, he quickly took off her coat and wrapped her in his to block off the chill.Tina tried to struggle as his scent filled her nostrils again, but he held her by the waist firmly in his arms, looking her in the eye. "Go on, fight it. Call in sick on your second day at work."Tina settled down, and Henry scooped her up in his arms.There was no one in the garden given the weather, but it was bustling at the entrance.Not keen on being seen, Tina pulled up the lapels to hide her face.Henry watched her, his gaze darkening.-The manager had arranged for a car, and Henry carried Tina inside.Still, she pulled away as soon as they were in, pressing herself against the car door while telling the chauffeur, "Maple Park, please."With those words, he turned to stare outside the window, very obviously ignoring Henry's presence.Henry star

Henry's dark gaze then lingered on Tina's lips that were purple from the cold, and he released her hand."Turn around!" she snapped."Hehe."Henry chuckled in amusement despite her serious glare, as if to ask if there was an inch of her body he had not seen or touched.What was the point of looking away?Still, Tina remained silent and kept glaring, only taking off her pants when he turned but still watching him from the corner of her eye.She arched her back, struggling as the fabric was clinging to her skin, while her coat fell off.Unbeknownst to her, the car window was reflective.And even though it was just a vague image, Henry knew her body all too well.As he stared at her reflection, he recalled her long, fair legs coiling around his hips countless times.She had been soft and tame, assuming a million different positions as he did what he liked to her.He gulped, his eyes darkening as if he could devour her in an instant.Tina managed to pull her wet pants off with

It was precisely because Tina was well aware that Henry had broken his promise that all these sketches were Sophie's imagination.Every brush and stroke was a knife that cut into her heart—Sophie's expectation and love hurt her all the more.She could not help wondering how disappointed Sophie must have been, waiting in the blistering cold for over half a day, but her father never showed up.No, he never even showed up as she was dying, instead taking Rory to Wonderland.How hurt had she been then?Tina's tears blurred her vision instantly and welled out of her eyes.-Meanwhile, Henry could not find Tina in the main bedroom after cooking some soup and strode over to Sophie's room when he noticed the light inside.He entered to find Tina sitting quietly in front of Sophie's desk.She did not hear him even though he was being loud.He strode over, about to ask what caught her attention, when he noticed the sketches on the table.It was the caption above that caught his attent

Had Henry considered the possibility that things would go bad, and that something worse might happen?Or perhaps he really did not care at all?With her mind riddled by drugs, she could not hold back her thoughts right then, shouting so hard her voice broke, "You were watching as he drugged me, just because I refused to listen and went on this blind date?! So that he can do what he wants with me?! Is that how you want me to learn?!"Henry stayed silent.Taking it as an admission, Tina felt a coldness creep up from her toes to the rest of her body and pushed Henry off with all her strength.Still, she had to lean against the wall with both hands, but just as Henry was going to pull her away with him, the elevators opened again.Then, a lofty, handsome figure strode down the hallway.It was John Levine, who reached Tina with just a few strides of his long legs. "Are you alright, Ms. Smith?"They had never met ever since she came clean to John at the hospital, and it was not easy

Martin chuckled gleefully. "You can shout yourself hoarse—no one's going to hear you."He had specifically picked this restaurant because it respected their guests' privacy, and the rooms were famously soundproof.A glint of excitement showed in his eyes as he looked downward at the cut on his hand too, surprised that the mild-mannered woman was that wild!But that was exactly it—he liked them wild!The wilder they were, the more thrilling it got!With that, he strode up.Knowing that she was about to lose even her ability to fight and that he was a grown man, Tina kept reaching for the door.Before she could open it, Martin grabbed her hair and pulled, dragging her way from the door.The automatic door shut, just as she managed to open it a little…"Get away from me!" Tina shrieked as she swung the knife at Martin once more, but he was prepared this time, catching her wrist and squeezing.Tina dropped the knife in pain, now defenseless. Martin pulled her into his arms, hol
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 98
As for Linda, she was smiling ever slightly as Martin's car sped off into the distance…-Once they were far enough, Tina turned to Martin and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for wasting your time, Mr. Levine, but I didn't want this blind date. You can drop me off at the next subway stop.""Actually, the same goes for me too."Martin chuckled. "Just family duties, I guess. But I guess we could still have dinner together, so that our elders would have something to work with?""Okay." Tina nodded, relaxing at Martin's words.With that, Martin took her to a restaurant, and though they walked side-by-side, there was proper social distancing.Arriving at the room he booked, he chivalrously pulled out a chair for her, asking, "What wine do you prefer, Ms. Smith?""Sorry, I don't drink." Tina smiled, refusing as she was a poor drinker.For his part, Martin did not force her, instead asking a waiter to pop open a red wine for himself while ordering something warm for Tina."Thank yo

Madam Barnes had waited until working hours were over to check on the progress.Still, it took Tina a while to realize who Mr. Levine was—he was her blind date."Is he here?" she asked."Yes." Madam Barns chuckled. "I know you're supposed to meet him at the restaurant, but Mr. Levine said he could pick you up since he's going in the same direction. Go on, don't keep the man waiting."Madam Barnes was quite enthusiastic, clearly pleased about the blind date she had arranged for Tina."Alright, I'll go now," Tina replied, not keen to keep someone waiting.After packing up and heading downstairs, she immediately saw a black Ghost outside the building.It was Henry's car, and he was inside, with the window lowered.Tina just happened to meet Henry's eyes, and Linda saw that. Though briefly surprised to see him looking at her, she pretended to wave at their colleagues to block his gaze."Henry's taking me home now. Bye!"With a sweet smile, she got into the car and leaned toward

Henry's dark gaze seemed to darken further as he saw her earlobes flush so hard that they could bleed.As he looked down, he saw plenty of other parts flushing attractively too.His breathing turning heavy, he turned Tina's face toward himself, holding her chin and kissed her."Mmph!"Tina tried to fight back, shaking her head to avoid his kiss.However, she could not as Henry kept pressing down, and the kiss left her breathless.It was only then that he slowly pulled away.Utterly mad, Tina opened her mouth and bit down dead center of his upper lip as soon as she was freed, all while glaring at him spitefully.Henry let her do so as if it did not hurt him and punished her twice as viciously.Nonetheless, the car drove out of Barnes Ranch and onto the main road. As it was rush hour, there were plenty of other cars around them.Although the windows were tinted and one would not be able to see inside, Tina—still pressed against the window—often found herself meeting the stare
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 95
As Tina hurried outside, she immediately saw the black Maybach parked there.It was the car that Madam Barnes had arranged for her, but as she arched her back to enter the backseat, she immediately noticed someone else inside.Her head jerked up as she saw the tall man reclining against the backseat, with half of his face hidden in the darkness.It was Henry, crumpling the unlit cigarette in his left hand and glaring at her dangerously.Tian scowled and paused, and she promptly started to back out. She refused to stay in the same car with him!However, though she responded quickly, Henry was quicker.As soon as she moved, he threw his cigarette aside and reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled.And once he dragged Tina into the car, he pressed the button to lock the door, snapping at the same time, "Drive!"The chauffeur naturally did not dare to disobey the head of the family.Lifting his foot off the brakes at Henry's order, he jammed it down on the gas pedal while rai

Linda sobbed. "I was just so upset, so I threw in some rats to get even for Rory. I just love Rory so much, Henry… That's why I did it."Rory would always be her trump card—Henry loved the child, and he would not hold anything against her just because she said it was for Rory's sake.And seeing that Henry was silent, Linda purred at him again, "I can't sleep, Henry. I can see the snakes whenever I close my eyes… Can you come to the hospital and spend the night with me?""It's late. Get some rest," Henry replied quietly and hung up right then.When Linda said that she kept seeing those snakes when she closed her eyes, Henry remembered that Tina had been locked in the basement for far longer and would not be able to sleep too.-Tina locked the door after Henry left, but as he was family, he could go anywhere he liked, even if it was Madam Barnes' house.A servant brought the keys, and Henry entered.Tina could have slept soundly for a few hours with medication, but Henry woke he
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 93
Linda sobbed softly as she told Henry about all the torment she had gone through in that basement, every word undoubtedly invoking Henry's rage.As she continued, she could clearly feel the air around him turning cold.Eventually, Linda buried her face against his chest, her lips curled up in glee.She did say she would get back at Tina when she got out anyway.-Tina was not sleeping at Henry's house in Barnes Ranch for the night, instead sleeping in her own room in Madam Barnes' house.She had a fright, so Madam Barnes had her servants make her soup to calm her nerves and bring some scented candles with a soothing aroma to her room.Tina thought it might work, only for her to see the basement whenever she closed her eyes.Unable to sleep, she took out her sleeping pills from her bag, tossing and turning for a while before eventually dozing off.However, when she almost fell asleep, she was lifted firmly off the bed as Henry's chilling tone rang overhead. "How could you sleep
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 92
Since Henry could not tell how great Tina was, Madam Barnes would get someone who loved her and cherished her instead.Walking up to Tina and talking to her hand, she said, "I'll definitely get you a good man."Tina shook her head. "I'm fine, Grandma."Henry was right that she would not go, but it was not because she loved him too much as he believed.She just could not spare the time when she had yet to avenge Sophie.Nonetheless, Madam Barnes sighed as she said earnestly, "I just want someone to be there for you."She certainly had her own motives in trying to get Tina together with Henry.Henry was her dearest grandson, and Tina loved him very much, so she could be at ease since Tina would definitely be good to him.At the same time, she would also like Henry to protect Tina from harm.Now, she understood.As long as Linda was around, she could not count on Henry—she needed to find Tina another man who would be her shelter.Still, Tina leaned on Madam Barnes' shoulder and
