Chapter 171

At the same time, Roger glowered as he threw Rory to Linda."Rory!" Linda exclaimed, paling as she caught Rory and hugged her with a pained look. "Are you alright? Show Mommy where it hurts…"As she spoke, she rolled up Rory's sleeve, which revealed the bruise Roger had left with his grip.She bit her lip, her tears rolling down her cheeks silently.Even if she said nothing, her message to Henry was exceedingly clear.However, Roger was glaring at the identical faces of mother and daughter, his voice dripping with disdain and disgust. "Take your bastard out of here. Don't defile this family altar.""Henry…" Linda turned toward Henry, her expression miserable and her tears still rolling down her cheeks silently.Rory leaned into Linda's arms and sobbed, shaking her head repeatedly. "I'm not a bastard! No!"Pain showed in Henry's eyes, and he promptly strode toward Linda and Rory.The rage in Tina's eyes flared further as she watched.This was not the first time ever since Lind

Chapter 172

Rory was looking at Henry as she sobbed miserably, "Daddy, if you're not my daddy, who's my daddy?"The question left Henry grimacing, and he gently wiped the tears off her face. "It's alright. Don't listen to them—you're my daughter.""Henry…"Linda grasped Henry's arm desperately while she called his name meekly.As they shared a look that only they understood, Henry squeezed Linda's hand in return and gave her an assuring gaze.Seeing that, Roger glowered sinisterly, "Henry!"But once Henry comforted Rory, he stood up and turned toward his father in turn. "Rory is my daughter!"He owed Linda that much.After what Tina had done, his father would not agree to let him marry Linda and go public with Rory.Henry did not appear disappointed—if anything, he appeared relieved.While not being able to marry Linda as promised piled on his guilt, he could make it up to her with Rory.However, Henry's reaction almost left Roger fainting.How could he not understand?! Henry had known

"Rory's presence in the family won't affect Sophie! I'll definitely treat them equally, and I won't give Sophie grief anymore!"Henry would never neglect Sophie out of favoritism.Even if she made a habit of lying, he would tolerate her and patiently discipline her.Tina was left glaring at him anyway. "So you had always known that Rory wasn't your daughter?""Yes.""Haha… Hahaha…" She laughed despite herself at Henry's confession, leveling a mournful look as tears flowed unwittingly down her cheeks.She clenched on her handbag, where she had kept Sophie's death certificate.When she had found out by chance that Rory was not really Henry's daughter, she had decided that she would expose that truth in front of Henry with the paternity test results.After all, he was a man of lofty standing. He was maniacally possessive of Tina even when he did not love her, even forbidding her from having anything to do with another man.Considering that, he definitely would be even worse if

Chapter 174

As if a dictator, Roger had decided to drag Tina back to salvage the situation without asking for her opinion.In his mind, Tina had done all these just to officially marry Henry anyway.After Henry and the family had gone five years without acknowledging Tina and her daughter, she must definitely be upset that they had chosen to go public with Linda and Rory instead and deliberately exposed Rory as a bastard just before the ceremony.That way, Roger and the elders would never allow Linda and Rory to be taken in as family, and at the same time, important guests and the media would still be waiting for the reveal of Henry's fiancee and daughter.It was certainly a well-calculated move from Tina, predicting that Roger's reaction would be to stop Linda, a woman with a shady history, from bringing a bastard into their family.After all, the more important their status, the more they valued their pride.And since people would always inevitably talk, god knew that the Barnes family wou

Chapter 175

Linda sobbed, "What happened five years ago between you and Tina drove us apart, and that lost us five years… I've waited for you for this for so long. If you get engaged with Tina instead, what would happen to me and Rory? You promised that you'd only marry me…"In the end, Henry was her trump card.She not only had Henry's love, but he also owed her a life debt and due recompense.Any other woman could enslave a man with just one, but she had all three.As for Tina, what did she have?Even her daughter—her only bargaining chip—was now six feet under. What did she have?!Hence, as Linda leaned into Henry's arms, she leveled a look of provocation at Tina.She was dead sure that Henry would fight Roger for her sake, and Tina would lose!To her shock, not only did Henry not do that, but he also pulled her away and strode toward Tina nearby, taking her wrist."Henry…"Linda's eyes widened in disbelief.Just as Roger wished, Henry obviously intended to announce his engagement wi

Chapter 176

Henry's heart seemed to soar.But as he was about to interlock fingers with Tina, Tina seized the moment to withdraw her hand.As Henry and Tina appeared before everyone, Roger watched them and glanced nearby at his confidante, who quietly left.At the same time, Roger made way for Henry and Tina, shooting Tina a meaningful look as she passed him.It was as if he was giving her grief for letting her win so easily.Tina pretended not to notice as she strode past him, walking on stage.Everyone immediately turned to watch her and Henry, not noticing that nearby, Linda and Rory were being muffled and dragged unceremoniously outside."How dare you treat me like this?!" Linda snarled through her teeth threateningly. "Henry will punish you when he hears of this!"However, these were Roger's men, and they only listened to his orders, so Linda's threat only got her even rougher treatment.Their clothes were filthy by the time they were dragged to the gates, and they were shoved uncere

Chapter 177

The reason that Tina did not shake off Henry's grasp early and cooperatively appeared before the cameras as Roger had demanded was not to officially tie the knot with Henry.She used to look forward to this moment when Henry would acknowledge her and Sophie to everyone, and they would be together for the rest of their lives.But now, she was completely reluctant.She did not care for, let alone want what Linda had plotted and gone the extra mile for.She only spoke to the press because she wanted a legitimate status for her daughter, because that was what Sophie deserved, not Rory!And having said what she wanted, Tina turned and left without looking at Henry or Roger's reaction, not caring at all how they would clean up this mess.It was their own business.Roger had neglected her and Sophie for five years, and he now expected her to cooperate to bail them out?Dream on!There was no way Henry could grab Tina in front of so many cameras either, and he could only watch as she

Chapter 178

John's outstretched hand was left hovering in the air as his rationality returned, and he withdrew his palm. Tina, whose eyes were fixed outside the window, never noticed as she took her phone from her bag, pausing when she saw the caller.She composed herself for a moment before answering, "Good morning, Mrs. Archer.""Good morning Ms. Smith. When are you dropping by to get Sophie's cup?"Mrs. Archer was the owner of a pottery studio, where Sophie had made a porcelain cup back when she was alive. "Right now," Tina replied and hung up.Before she asked, John nodded and asked, "Where to? I'll take you there."Not shying away this time, Tina gave him the address of the pottery studio, which John relayed to the chauffeur, who took a turn at a junction ahead toward the address.When they arrived, John stayed with Tina as they headed into the studio, and Mrs. Archer welcomed them enthusiastically when she saw them. "Welcome, Ms. Smith!"She glanced behind Tina and asked as she wa

Chapter 179

Caring as ever, John noticed Tina's grief and spoke for her. "Thank you. We still have other matters to attend to, so we will be going now."With that, he led Tina out of the pottery studio.Mrs. Archer finally noticed that something was strange about Tina too but did not dwell on it or show concern.There was plenty of work to do, and she headed into one of the backrooms.On the other hand, Tina's emotions finally overwhelmed her, and her tears came flooding out.She clutched the cup, crying so hard that she could break.The thought that Henry knew from the start that Rory was not even his child but treasured her anyway…As for her Sophie… The more she loved Henry, the more Tina felt pain for her.As she broke down and sobbed in silence, John did not hesitate this time, gently holding the back of her head to gather her in his arms while patting her back lightly.He asked nothing, only offering silent comfort.She had been hurting for too long, and John's assurance left her

Chapter 180

Henry was too furious to care to hold back, pulling Tina and sending her spinning into his arms.Caught by surprise, the cup flew out of her grasp.When she reached out in reflex, Henry thought she was resisting him and pulled her back toward him as soon as she moved.The cup brushed past her fingertips and feet over six feet away.The see-through box was too thin to protect it at all.Clang!The cup shattered audibly as it landed.John's immediate reaction was to try to catch it for Tina—she must care a lot about her daughter's creation, but he missed too.As he rushed up and quickly started to pick up the pieces, a furious Tina stomped viciously on Henry's foot, as he was still holding her waist with a vice-like grip.It hurt Henry, but he did not let go.As such, she struck him with her handbag. "Let go of me!"She used all her strength and hit him in the face and eyes, leaving him gasping in pain and easing his grip.Tina seized the moment to free herself and hurried to
