Just as Henry stepped foot into the detached manor, which Tammy had arranged for him in Chester Manor, he saw her eagerly walking toward him.However, when she arrived before him, she concealed the anxiety in her eyes once more. She deliberately tried to show him the demeanor that was apt for the young lady of Chester Manor. She slightly lifted her chin and said with a stern face, “So, you know your way back after all.”Henry looked up at her and did not take her current displeasure seriously. He merely said dimly, “Since you’re here, how could I not?”It sounded like he said that sentence to make her happy. However, in truth, he only said it out of the kindness he owed her.Even if he bore enmity with the Chester family, he and Tammy were still on relatively friendly terms with one another.It did not matter to her whether his words were genuine; Tammy still felt better after hearing them.She tried restraining her expression, and even her tone softened when she said, “You went
Henry stared at her for a few seconds and faintly muttered, “It’s not that.” After he said this, he quickly gulped down the juice.Upon seeing this, Tammy’s tense heartstrings abruptly loosened.15 minutes later, after Tammy accompanied him through his meal, she took the thin blanket from Jesse’s hand and placed it over Henry’s legs. Then, she pulled it up to cover his stomach.“You can take a break. Even if you can’t fall asleep, just close your eyes for a while and rest your mind.” She had a smile on her lips as she spoke. There was nothing peculiar about her current behavior.Strangely enough, Henry started feeling somewhat tired after his meal.He did not say much about it and merely closed his eyes.Tammy was beside him, quietly looking at him as he dozed off. After a while, she whispered to him, “Henry? Are you asleep now?”“Henry?” She called out to him a couple of times, yet he was not responding. It seemed like he had indeed fallen into a deep slumber.It was just that
Summer was somewhat surprised that Tammy would so bluntly ask her to hand over the people in the car.“Why did you bring so many people over to intercept us, Tammy? Don’t you already know that Henry was the one who asked me to bring them out of here?”Summer initially thought that the people who were chasing after Sharon and Franky were Gerald and Trevor.There was a cold flash in Tammy’s eyes. It turned out Henry was the one who had planned this after all. However, he did not do all of this to protect Franky alone, right?“Sienna Newton has shot and wounded Trevor. In any case, he’s still my little brother and the heir to Chester Manor. Even so, she was ruthless enough to castrate him! Tell me how can I forgive her so easily?”She paused before continuing, “As for Franky, the Chesters can’t easily let him off the hook as well since he’s an accomplice.”As the car’s window was lowered, all of Tammy’s words managed to reach Sharon’s ears as well.She had never expected Tammy to b
“Don’t get out of the car!” Summer shouted at the vehicle. Sharon was recovering from a gunshot wound, and it restricted her mobility. Moreover, she was pretty frail at the moment. Even so, Sharon still refused to make things difficult for Summer.“Please help me get down from the car,” Sharon said to Franky as she wanted to confront Tammy.Franky refused, saying, “I’ll head down. Stay here and don’t move. I’ll take care of it.” Before she could say anything, he opened the car door and went straight out.“Franky…” Sharon looked at him worriedly.“Miss Sharon, I’ve promised President Zachary that I’ll protect you. If I fail to do so, I’d lose my dignity to live anyway,” he said in a deep tone and proceeded to close the car door.“No, wait… Come back…” Sharon started to feel frightened. She thought of the bodyguard who was shot to death by the Chester family’s assassins to protect her. She refused to let Franky die because of her!It was just that Franky no longer turned back aro
The sounds of consecutive gunshots were so shocking that they could make one’s heart rupture!Even Summer, who had experienced such an ordeal before, could not help but tremble all over.Especially when she saw Franky using his body to block Sharon from the bullets. She thought that all of them had hit him, making her shriek, “Franky!”Sharon was suddenly dumbfounded as well. The gunshots were too close as if they were shot right next to her ears.She never expected Tammy to actually want her dead!However, apart from the pain in her chest, she was not in pain anywhere else. If not a single bullet had hit her, that could only mean…“Franky? Franky, how…” Her voice was choked up, and she was about to cry out loud. Would he really lose his life today because of her?No! Things could not turn out like this!He was Simon’s most capable assistant, and Simon could not live without him!Franky had already prepared himself to die for her, and after hearing the gunshots, he honestly th
Sharon saw bodyguards dressed in black all around Henry, and all of them looked extraordinary. It turned out Henry was not as weak as he appeared to be on the surface.Moreover, it could be said that he was even more powerful than any normal man!It was no wonder that the aloof Tammy Chester fancied him. He was not at all a simple character, but Sharon had failed to see it in the beginning. It was just that… there was no need for her to know this about him anyway.At this time, Henry fixed his cold and sharp gaze on Tammy. His voice sounded frigid when he asked, “Who gave you permission to shoot my person?”Tammy did not understand who he was talking about. She wondered if the person he was currently referring to now was Franky or Sienna?Since Franky was protecting Sienna earlier, Tammy thought that Henry was currently talking about Franky.“I… I just wanted to help you solve your problem. Since Franky has become Sienna’s accomplice, he can no longer be by your side. Otherwise,
Sharon stared at the man who was not far away from her without blinking. She merely wanted to take a closer look at his current appearance.Franky’s words from earlier were still ringing in her ears. “Miss Chester had given him plastic surgery!”It was no wonder his appearance had changed. It was because Tammy had changed it for him. That was why she did not recognize him even though he was similar to Simon in so many ways.Now, she finally understood that they were not only similar, but the two were simply the same person!Sharon remembered that when she was in Chester Manor, she had secretly overheard the maids saying that Tammy was a world-class plastic surgeon.It seemed like that was the truth. Tammy had managed to sculpt Simon’s appearance to perfection. He was absolutely handsome to the tee.However, if she had the choice, she would rather he look the way he did before…If his entire appearance had changed, that meant his face was completely ruined in that explosion!Eve
“Henry, you—” Tammy was about to tell Henry to order the sniper to put the gun down but he interrupted her.Henry was staring at her sullenly, and his low voice was filled with murderous intent as he asked, “Do you have a death wish?” How dare this woman try to shoot Sharon right in front of him?His indifferent and somewhat ruthless appearance sent fear creeping down her heart. There was not a single doubt that he would be heartless enough to order his men to take her life!All of this just for Sienna Newton?Was no one allowed to touch her?“Henry, how could you treat me like this?” Could it be that she had never been in his heart from the start?Henry seemed to ignore all of the sadness in her eyes and coldly scoffed. “Tell all of your men to stand back!”Since the powerful sniper still had a gun on Tammy’s head, this was regarded as a threat to her subordinates.Tammy could not conceal the resentment in her heart, and she wished that Sharon would die right then! It was just
