Chapter 334

"Pfft—AHAHAHAH!" Sarah couldn't hold her laugh after Graham ended the call. "Oh God, he is supposed to be the best lawyer in New York, yet he is so gullible!"2

Sarah mocked Graham, but she understood really well how Graham got swept by her words.

He was taken over by his emotions. He had gotten so emotional that he tossed his logic. 

If he was calm enough, he could see through Sarah's bullshit easily. 

"This is why you shouldn't fall in love, Graham," Sarah smirked. "Look at you, getting baited with everything I told you."

Sarah opened her phone again and scrolled through her gallery. She found a picture of Henry when he was still in high school.

Even when he was young, he was handsome, and that handsomeness only improved as he aged. It was a pity he would waste his good looks on a worthless woman like Kate.

"Oh well, I guess I'll let them have their fun for a while. It's better to destroy their relationship once they are close to getting married," Sarah said. "I want to see the anguish in her face once she knows Henry is a heartless bastard."

Sarah chuckled. She was in a better mood right now. At least she had obtained control over Graham.

"Ah, as expected, I am much better off with a dumb man. I need to find a way to make Henry dumb and naive again so we can get married," Sarah said. "I shouldn't have agreed when he said he wanted to date Kate. That bitch definitely did something to him until he dared to fight me."

Graham was stressed out in his office.

He tried to pass the day by working on many legal documents as much as possible. But this rage dripping in his heart had become unbearable. It had been hours since he talked with Sarah on the phone, and his heart was still restless. 

He was worried sick about Kate. He kept thinking about her safety, and each time he imagined Kate's face, Graham's heart would beat uncontrollably.

"I need to save her, but how? How am I supposed to save her when Henry always has her in his grip?" Graham asked himself.

Of course, he already had a plan with Sarah to bring Erin and Matt back into Kate and Henry's life, but they needed the correct time to be used. 

He couldn't just sit still and wait, right?

Thus, as Graham kept worrying, he decided to muster his courage and called Kate.

He didn't know if Kate would listen to him. Hell, he didn't even know if Kate would pick up the call.

But it was better than doing nothing. 

Kate ignored the first two calls but finally picked it up on the third call. 

—

"What is it, Mr. Hubbard?" Kate asked perfunctorily. She didn't even want to use Graham's first name to keep things professional with Graham. "I thought I already told you not to call me when it's not necessary."

"I know, but—" 

"Then don't call me. You know that Henry will be angry at me every time you try to call," Kate sighed. She wished she could be closer to Graham because they could become good friends with their like-minded personality. 

But Henry was a jealous man, and Kate was also a jealous woman. It was better to keep things only in a small circle.

Besides, Kate knew that Graham harbored romantic feelings for her for absolutely no reason whatsoever. 

Graham was hurt when Kate tried to avoid him just because of Henry. She had no idea Henry was the evil bastard who tried to hurt her and steal her baby while Graham was just trying to protect her. 

Graham felt wronged, but he understood that Kate had no idea about the monster she was dating.

"Kate, where are you right now? Are you alone?" Graham asked. 

"I have no time to answer that trivial question, Graham. I'm sorry, I have no ill feelings towards you, but I don't want to fight with Henry," Kate said. "Please don't call me again, goodbye—"

"WAIT!" Graham shouted before Kate hung up. "I called you because I want to help you."

"… help me?" Kate frowned. "I don't need any help. I am officially divorced and retain my wealth, thanks to you. But I don't need any more help from you, Graham."

"This is not about the divorce," Graham's tone became solemn. He wanted Kate to know the severity of the situation. "It's about Henry."

Kate finally went silent, signaling Graham to continue because she was willing to listen right now.

Graham took a deep breath and said, "First of all, you should know that he was not single before he met you. He was engaged to a woman named Sarah, and they were going strong until he annulled the engagement with her before."

"He told me that last night," Kate said. "It was an engagement of convenience, and he annulled it because he wants to be serious with me."

Graham's eyes widened.

This only angered him even more because he didn't expect Henry to be so crafty.

He must've expected Sarah or Graham to tell the truth to Kate sooner or later, so Henry confessed earlier to gain Kate's sympathy. 

'What a fucking monster!' Graham cursed in his heart. 'He really knows how to play with Kate's heart.'

"He doesn't want to be serious with you, Kate," Graham decided just to open the whole truth, or else Kate would never be able to escape Henry's grasp. "He just wants to take your baby and give it to Marlon. He wants Marlon's approval."

"Henry and Marlon have an agreement that involves you. He will take the baby from you and give it to Marlon. Marlon will kill that baby, and in exchange, Marlon will give him full control of the company!"

  …

"You need to get the hell out of that relationship, Kate. Tell me your location. I will fly from New York to Los Angeles. I will be by your side!"
