Chapter 146

Besides, Matt was also trying to find dates on a few dating sites. Since he believed that both Kate and Erin were barren, he knew he had to find another woman willing to bear his baby.  2

Matt used his old pictures about six years ago, when he was still very handsome, with abs, chiseled jawline, and all. 

He knew that he got all the stuff needed to attract many women in dating apps, but he needed the most important one: money.

He planned to max out Kate's credit card to treat those women he'd go on a date with, buying them gifts so they would think he was rich.

So he seriously would NOT let Kate fall and lose her job. She was his cash cow!

"I'm not joking, Erin. I really need the money," Matt insisted. He lost his meekness after realizing that he would be broke soon. 

Erin sighed, "Alright, don't worry. If my sister can't find a job anytime soon to support you, I can always do it for you."

Matt's eyes widened, "Are you serious? You're going to support me? How would you get the money?"

"Oh, I found a new sugar daddy. He is young, but very, very rich!" Erin said. She didn't mention that her new sugar daddy was Henry Grant, Kate's new CEO. But that wasn't important, right?

"Is he richer than Kate?"

"Oh, Kate is nothing compared to him!" Erin said. "Trust me, I can give you twice the amount of Kate's credit card limit!"

Matt got excited thinking about what he could do with twice the amount Kate usually gave him monthly. 

He got greedy, thinking that since Kate was a useless woman without any redeeming quality right now, it was time for him to rely on Erin.

"T—Then go for that man, make sure that you can date him for a long time, or even marry him," Matt suggested. "Then you can send me money every month, right?"

"Of course!" Erin agreed. "You're not jealous, right? After all, I won't have time for you anymore after this."

"No, it's fine," Matt replied. After all, he had also lost interest in Erin. This bitch was equally barren as her sister, so both of them were not good enough for him. 

But of course, he had to squeeze as much money as possible, "But you should compensate me with a monthly allowance, okay? After all, I still love you."

"Oh, dear, yes, I still love you too, that's why I will send you money later," Erin smiled. But she was sneering in her heart, 'You bastard, do you really think that I'm an idiot? Why would I give my money to someone with no use like you? And you allow me to be with another man as long as I compensate you with money? HAH!'

Erin had no intention of sharing anything with this deadbeat man. She invited him to the restaurant because she wanted to celebrate Kate's tears together with Kate's husband. That would be the biggest humiliation that her sister could get.

'See? This is what you get for not fulfilling all of my wishes, Sis,' Erin rejoiced as she imagined the suffering of her big sister. 'You should realize by now what kind of power I have over MEN!'

Henry was still in the office late at night. He was accompanied by some employees who also took overtime as they weren't done preparing a few documents. 

They were forced to work overtime because they were notified that their CEO put Mrs. Katherine Woods—the reliable and brilliant Chief Editor—under a temporary layout. 

So they had to do the Chief Editor's job desk for a week until Mr. Grant decided to permanently fire Mrs. Woods or let her stay.

They didn't understand why Mr. Henry Grant would fire Mrs. Woods. She was an important asset to this company. Without Mrs. Woods, this company wouldn't become one of the most promising publishing companies. 

She simply had the instinct to find which book would sell and which would not.

So everyone was panicking with the sudden decision, but none dared to protest to the CEO because they knew that Henry Grant owned the company because he was the only heir of Grant's many businesses.

He was ultra-rich, and he could just burn this company to the ground without giving a damn.

Henry sighed as he continued working on documents he had to handle so Kate wouldn't be burdened with so many things once she returned to her position.

He agreed to do whatever Kate planned but wouldn't let her exhaust herself. She was pregnant, and she should always be in good health.

Henry's focus was disrupted when he heard his phone's ringtone. 

He checked and realized that it was from Kate.

His face brightened instantly as he picked it up.

"Why are you calling at this hour, Kitty? Do you miss me already?" Henry asked as he was in the mood to tease Kate.

"Hmph, you sure know how to talk sweet, Mr. Grant," Kate said, but she couldn't help but get a little shy. "I just want to tell you that I'm all set in this suite for a week, so you don't need to worry about me."

"That's good. Be sure to tell me if there's something wrong there. I will call the hotel manager to fix it for you," Henry said. "By the way, Michael called me about an hour ago. He informed me that everything is set, and we will bring that bitch to Canada, and then Greenland. Though, I have a question for you. Why do we have to do two trips instead of one? Why don't we just go straight to Greenland."

"It's to make Erin less suspicious. Besides, I want to make sure that my mother thinks everything is alright. I want her to think that Erin is in a good condition until the end of her life," Kate replied. 

Henry still didn't understand why Kate tried so hard to save her mother because it seemed her mother was biased towards Erin.

But maybe it was a mother-daughter bond that Henry didn't understand, 'After all, my mother is a piece of shit. She's no different than Erin. Maybe I would be able to connect to Kate's parental bond to her mother if my mother raised me better.'

"Alright then, I'll be waiting for us to reunite in Canada," Henry said. He went silent for a while before murmuring a sentence he had wanted to utter for a while when he was sober, "I love you, Kitty."

…

That last sentence stupefied Kate. She wasn't sure if she was ready to say 'love' to him right now because that meant they would be officially dating.

She wasn't ready to start another official relationship when her life was still a mess right now, with Erin and Matt as the main problems.

Besides, she was unsure if Henry would stick with her for a long time. In short, she wasn't ready to fully reciprocate his feelings as she felt Henry was rushing things.

So she tried to ignore it, "Don't forget to rest after you finished your work, Henry. You shouldn't get sick when we have a big day coming. Good night."

Beep.
