317: Chapter 317

Chapter 317

Sarah was provoked instantly.  2

She thought that Dahlia would try to keep a somewhat peaceful conversation with her. Though Sarah already knew that Dahlia was the one who suggested the annulment, she expected her to act like she did nothing wrong. 

But this was out of her calculation.

This old woman was far more arrogant than she thought.

"Really? Why would you do that?" Sarah acted oblivious. "I mean, I understand Henry will eventually try to find a woman he likes other than me. But he can always keep Kate as a mistress while I am the official wife, right?"

"Besides, I'm not a super strict woman. I will allow him to run free. He can even father a few illegitimate children and bring them home," Sarah said. 

Dahlia sneered in her heart.

No wonder she got a bad feeling from this woman.

Sarah might try to paint herself as a good but powerless woman while Henry was the evil cheating bastard who didn't appreciate their relationship.

"Do you not realize what you said just now? You're basically telling my son to suffer for the rest of his life and for him to become a scumbag who fathered so many illegitimate children," Dahlia accused. "Why don't you just let him go? Surely, you can find someone else to marry, right?"

Sarah sighed, "I can't do that. We've been together for so long. So my mind is fixated on him and only him."

"You've been together with him and James as friends. What kind of fixation do you have, Sarah? Don't tell me you are obsessed with Henry," Dahlia guessed. 

"Obsessed? I am not," Sarah denied. "I just want him to be a good and successful man. You know he'd replace Marlon as soon as he married me and worked hard in the office, right?"

"What you did was just jeopardizing his fate, Dahlia," Sarah said. "Now, Marlon will be angry if I ever tell him about the annulment."

Dahlia understood the threat immediately. 

Sarah indirectly told her that she had a card against Henry. She could simply tell Marlon about the annulment, and that crazy bastard would definitely try to do something.

Dahlia doubted that he would hurt his last heir, but he could be going to someone else to appease his anger. 

Sarah smirked, "Do you get it now? Marlon won't do anything against Henry since he is the Grant family's only heir. But what about Katherine? He hates that woman for causing James' death. He might as well kill her and end the problem."

"And you… You will be blamed for causing this. If only you hadn't told Henry to annul the engagement, we could've salvaged the situation…"

…

"What do you want me to do?" Dahlia asked.

"Oh, simple," Sarah was happy that it wasn't hard to talk with Dahlia. She might be hostile, but she still had a functioning brain, unlike Henry, whose brain shut down the moment he met with Kate.

Truly a waste of a great man, it was Sarah's job to ensure Henry wouldn't make a stupid mistake.

After all, a master should be responsible for her dog. 

Sarah fished out her phone and scrolled to find Henry's contact, "It's simple. I will call Henry now, and your job is to convince him not to annul the engagement. As long as he changes his mind, I will not tell Marlon about the annulment. Do we get a deal here?"

"… alright, call him now. I'll talk to him."

  Sarah called Henry, and it didn't take long for Henry to answer.

"Yes, what do you want, Sarah?" Henry said coldly.

"Oh, why do you sound so hostile to me, Henry?" Sarah sighed. She glanced at Dahlia and decided to just go straight to the point before Henry got pissed. "I'm visiting your mother in the mental hospital right now."

Henry was shocked by what he heard and snapped, "What did you do to my mother?!"

"Hey, relax, I'm not doing anything. We're having a nice chat, but she said that she wants to call you for something."

Henry was on guard right now. He didn't expect Sarah to make a move so quickly. She didn't even take 24 hours to start doing her move. 

But he couldn't accuse her of anything dangerous, at least not yet, "My Mom wants to talk? Then give the phone to her."

"Sure."

Sarah turned on the speaker to hear the conversation between them and then gave the phone to Dahlia. 

"Good morning, Son," Dahlia greeted. 

"Mom! Are you alright? Did she hurt you?"

Dahlia glanced at Sarah and replied, "No, she didn't hurt me. She came to visit me, and we talked about the engagement annulment."

"Y—Yeah, after what you told me about being serious with Kate, I decided to break the engagement with Sarah. I am ready to face any kind of repercussions from my father in case she tells him about the engagement annulment."

"Are you sure about what you're doing, Son? What you did is very risky, you know that, right?"

"I know, but I still won't change my mind," Henry insisted. "A lifetime is too long to spend with someone I don't love. If I'm going to marry someone, then it MUST be Katherine. There is no other option."

"I see, so you're already 100% ready with your decision."

"Yes, Mom, I am ready for anything. I will marry Kate no matter what. That is my goal," Henry assured. He wanted to tell his mother about his trip to New York. But this phone call was probably on speaker, knowing how controlling Sarah could be.

So he decided not to say it.

"Anyway, what do you want to say, Mom?" Henry asked. 

"That—"Dahlia glanced at Sarah, who kept her smile, but that smile didn't reach her eyes. She looked furious as if she was about to tear Henry in pieces for his statement just now.

Dahlia grinned and replied, "I fully support you, Son. Go do what you think is right, and if I die, you know who did it, right?"

Beep.
