"Did he send you to find me?" Henry asked as he sat on the couch."No matter what, he's still your father. Why are you being so cruel to him? Dad is ... in a really tough situation." Harry cut to the chase.Henry sneered. "Did he consider how tough it was for us when he did all those things?""I know Dad went too far by involving Grandpa. It indeed crossed the line."But with the way you're handling it, Dad's company won't be able to operate anymore. Numerous projects are stuck. And if they don't proceed on time, Dad will face huge breach-of-contract penalties."At that point ... he might lose everything."Harry stared at Henry. He wanted to see if his words would affect Henry.However, Henry looked indifferent."Henry, I've never asked you for anything. But just this once, can you please just do it for me?" Harry pleaded.Henry looked at Harry and stated stubbornly, "Harry, this is none of your business. You shouldn't be the one begging for my help."Harry understood what He

Natalie had just put down her phone when another message from Henry came through.Even through the screen, she could imagine the arrogant look on his face when he sent the message. "I'm hungry. Hurry back and cook for me!"Natalie didn't reply after reading it.Another message from Henry came through. "Did you see my message?""I did ..." Natalie replied."Then why didn't you reply?" Another text."Couldn't be bothered." Natalie frowned and replied halfheartedly."From now on, you must reply to every one of my messages. No excuse!" Another message.Natalie stared at the messages on her phone with confusion.Wasn't Henry a stoic man? Natalie was starting to realize how little she knew about Henry. It appeared that he was quite a clingy person ...As soon as she entered the house, Amos approached her with a smile. "Mrs. Chase ..."They both felt awkward at the title.Amos quickly cleared his throat. "Apologies, Ms. Shepherd. I ... I'm not used to addressing you as anything el

"So, it was entirely his doing? My child's and Grandma's deaths were also his doing?""Of course! Why would I do any of that?"Stanley's expression shifted. Even though he was trying hard to stay calm, his reddening eyes betrayed him."But I heard something was going on between the two of you.""That's not true! He had always been doing everything I said! Stop trying to sow discord and make Henry misunderstand me!"It's not as if I could stop Stanley from liking me. Why should I bear the blame for his reckless actions?" That was the end of the recording.Natalie calmly put away her phone.Right now, a mixture of emotions flickered across Stanely's face—heartbreak, disbelief, irony, and anger."You heard her, right? You did all of this for her, yet she doesn't appreciate it. Now, she's even trying to cut all ties with you." Natalie observed Stanley closely.On one hand, she wanted Stanley to dwell in misery for the days to come. On the other, it was to confirm if Juliet was i

Natalie was confused. But she refrained from interrupting Leslie, patiently waiting for her to finish speaking.Leslie slowly shifted her gaze to the hospital building in front of them before continuing, "My sister is ill, suffering from a condition called clotting disorder."Today, she unexpectedly had severe bleeding, and the hospital's blood supply was depleted."That's when my mother reached out to me. She wants me to be ready to donate blood to my previously unknown sister."Because Leslie's sister had golden blood, this blood type wasn't abundant in every hospital's stock.According to the doctors, Leslie's sister's condition was critical at this time.Although the bleeding had temporarily stopped, there was still a risk of a sudden relapse.If she experienced another bleeding episode, the hospital wouldn't have enough blood in stock to provide for Leslie's sister.Excessive blood loss could pose a life-threatening danger."Usually, something like saving a life is someth

"Natalie? Natalie!" Leslie rushed toward Natalie."Natalie!" Sheldon, who arrived in a hurry, also walked quickly toward them.…Two hours later, at the hospital, Sheldon and Natalie walked out of the examination room one after the other.Glancing at the wound on Natalie's ear, Sheldon, still shaken, advised, "Next time, don't act so impulsively.""But at that moment, I had no other choice but to rush toward Leslie," Natalie replied. She couldn't just stand by and watch Leslie get hurt.Natalie quickly added, trying to downplay the situation, "Fortunately, it's not too serious. They're just some superficial injuries."Her injuries were indeed not severe. When she fell just now, it was a deliberate act to scare those people, or else they probably wouldn't have left so easily.She didn't want this drama to continue. In the end, she and Leslie would be the ones to suffer.As Leslie was quite intoxicated, Natalie arranged for a designated driver to take her home instead of accompa
