302: Chapter 302

Chapter 302

'I can't trust her when she's lying to me. It's definitely not a test just now. She wants to fuck me,' Henry thought. But he knew better than to show his hostility towards Sarah. She still held power over the situation with their engagement and family power.2

The only one who would explode was probably Marlon because he wanted Henry to marry Sarah so they could take over the duchy because they had no male heir. 

'I don't give a damn at this point. He can do whatever. I'll protect Kate first in any way possible,' Henry thought. 'Maybe we can run away? No, maybe SHE can run away somewhere while I'm fighting for my life against my father.'

Sarah obviously knew that Henry was lying. There must be someone who told him what to do. Henry had always been a naive boy who acted tough.

He was free from any worry before James' death, and now that he threw himself into the fray, he would make many mistakes.

Especially when Sarah had been the silent driving force behind all of his decisions before.

Well, before this one, of course.

Because engagement annulment was definitely out of her expectation and calculation. 

'I will find whoever dares to give him the idea of annulling our engagement. I will slice that fucking bastard's head myself,' Sarah cursed in her heart while keeping an amiable smile in front of Henry. 

"Well, if you say so. You can leave now. Don't worry. I will help you hide the truth from our families, at least for now."

…

Henry said nothing, not even thanks.

He simply left because he felt uncomfortably suspicious of Sarah, so he began to think Sarah might be doing something else behind his back. 

But he had no proof and something much more dire that needed to be solved. 

Sarah kept her amiable smile until Henry closed the door.

Her sweet voice turned into a demonic screech as she kicked the big vase near the door until it was shattered into pieces.

"WHO THE FUCK DARE TO CONTROL HENRY?! HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE MY PET! AAAAAHHHHH!" Sarah's screech echoed inside her penthouse. She was so angry that she began kicking everything breakable near her. 

He needed to unleash her anger because her pet had been stolen from her! He had taken orders from someone else who wasn't her and did something out of her calculation!

It was so infuriating that Sarah couldn't wait to kill that bitch!

It took a while until Sarah calmed down. She looked at the mess she had made in her penthouse.

Her chest heaved, her eyes were bloodshot, and her beautiful straight auburn hair was a mess. She was ashamed of herself, not for the mess she made, but for losing her grip over her pet.

She had planned a life with Henry.

He was a handsome, savvy businessman just like James and also had great stamina during sex with a big dick, proven by how many women went crazy over him after they spent the night together.

The only' weakness' that Henry had was his naivety and probably also his impulsiveness. Which was perfect for Sarah who looked for a perfect man that was easy to control. 

She might not be able to love, but at least she could be at peace knowing that Henry would always do stuff based on her calculation, so she could always prepare an adequate response. 

Now that plan was shattered into pieces…

Sarah stared at the broken porcelain vase on the floor. She then took a deep breath, "Okay, calm down, Sarah. You need to be sure that you're always under control. After all, it'd be hard to discipline a bad dog if you're also panicking."

"Let's list all of the possibilities first. Who are the people likely to suggest that idea to Henry?" Sarah began to recount all the friends that Henry had. 

Henry still had plenty of friends from his university life, as he had just recently graduated. But she also went through all of them, and they didn't seem fussy.

Besides, Henry and Sarah's engagement was to appease their families. It wasn't for public consumption, so it was very unlikely for Henry's friends to suggest such an outrageous thing. 

Sarah narrowed her search to Henry's office subordinates.

She had inquired about every person who had contact with Henry. After all, you had to know where your dog went and what he did the whole day, right? It was just normal to watch over your dog.

"Let's see… Kate, Mai, Michael, and nobody else," Sarah murmured. "Although I want to rip Kate's stomach and throw that baby into a pond, Henry hasn't told her about our engagement yet. Mai is equally clueless."

"That leaves Michael…"

Sarah had a somewhat good relationship with Henry because Michael thought Henry and Sarah looked good together.

So she doubted that Michael would suggest that, especially knowing the risk. Michael was much more level-headed than Henry. 

Finding no suspect, she remembered about his family members.

Henry wasn't so close with many of his cousins, except for one, Vernon Phoenix Gray, who was in New York right now. 

"Vernon is very busy with his wedding and also his ever-growing business. There's no way he had time for this."

Sarah knew she almost ran out of options because her only possible suspects were Marlon, Penny, and Dahlia.

Marlon and Penny were on her side. She fed them constant information about Kate and Henry's relationship, and of course, she sprinkled it with lies to make them hate Kate even more, to the point that Marlon wanted Kate to suffer. 

But Dahlia…

"Oh? Could it be that insane bitch who dared to tell him to annul the engagement?" Sarah suspected. She knew the tight mother-son bond between Dahlia and Henry, and Henry cared for Dahlia more than he cared for Penny. He was also more obedient to Dahlia's words. 

In fact, if not because of their natural bright blonde hair, people wouldn't expect Henry to be Penny's son. 

…

Sarah paused for a moment before she began laughing for five minutes straight. She squeezed her cramped stomach after laughing too much and said, "Oh my, why am I so dumb? It's obviously Dahlia who told him to break the engagement!" 

Sarah finally recovered after a while. She curled her lips and muttered, "I've been keeping her alive for too long. It's time to kill that insane old bitch."
