335: Chapter 335

Chapter 335

2Graham got worked up imagining Kate would get hurt because of Henry's malicious plan. He was thinking of many ways to protect her, whether it was out of pity or love; he didn't really care. As long as Kate was safe, then Graham would be at peace.

Kate went silent after that, and Graham was relieved, thinking that Kate finally took his side after he told her everything. He had been hesitating at first because he didn't want to break Kate's heart, and he still had a brotherly bond towards Henry. But this might be the end of everything…

"Kate?" 

"What nonsense are you spouting about, Mr. Hubbard?" Kate asked. 

"N—Nonsense?!" Graham was stunned. "I didn't speak nonsense! It's all true! I'm not lying to you!" 

"Is this the real capability of the best divorce lawyer in New York? You're making up stuff just to slander my man?" Kate rolled her eyes. "Listen, Mr. Hubbard, Henry is trying his best to break away from his family. He annulled the engagement of convenience, and he also went to New York to—" 

Kate was about to say that Henry tried to start a new company to break free from his family. But she felt it was supposed to be a secret. 

She didn't know if Graham was on their side or not, especially when he could create some ridiculous story of Henry trying to take her baby away. So it was better to keep it to herself. 

"Anyway, he hates his family and doesn't want anything to do with them. So please, stop trying to make up some lies to slander him. Henry has suffered enough," Kate defended her man boldly. "I think our conversation should end here, Mr. Hubbard. The more I talk to you, the worse your slander gets. Goodbye." 

"W—Wait, Kate, he—" 

Beep.

—

Graham gritted his teeth. 

He sensed that Kate was about to say something, perhaps a secret between her and Henry, and backtracked before she leaked it. 

He wanted to know what that secret was. Thus, he called Kate's number again, but the call didn't go through. 

"Did she block me?" Graham repeatedly called Kate's number, and none of the calls went through. 

He got so angry at Kate and smashed his phone.

"FUCKING BULLSHIT!"

Graham ruffled his hair as he got stressed out. He didn't expect Henry to be so crafty that he would tell Kate about Sarah. 

"He probably begged Kate to forgive him, that sly bastard!" Graham cursed. 

Graham wanted to do more; unfortunately, aside from the slip-up from Kate that Henry was doing something in New York, he had no idea how to reach Henry. 

"No, I cannot give up," Graham told himself. "If Henry is in New York right now, then he must be doing business. I have a lot of connections in this city; I can find him and stop whatever he is doing." 

Graham knew this was merely a vain effort. It was impossible to stop a man who had nothing but ambition and greed in his head. So, if everything that he did failed, he would have to be cruel to Henry… and to Kate. 

"So in the end, all I can do is use that useless Matt, huh?" Graham's gaze darkened. "I'm sorry, Katherine. I may have to open your old wound and shame you in public, but this is for the best. I can't let you get hurt by that piece of shit."

Kate blocked Graham's number and tossed her phone onto the sofa. 

"What is wrong with him? Why would he slander Henry like that?" Kate grumbled. 

Of course, she wouldn't stand still listening to another man trying to slander Henry! Kate understood Henry's pain really well. She might not be able to read what was in his heart, but she could sense the moral burden that Henry was carrying right now.

  She didn't understand why there were so many people who tried to hurt them: Erin, Matt, Sarah, Graham… 

"Ah, whatever. I don't want to think too much about those people. All I need to do right now is to stay on guard, so Henry doesn't need to worry about my safety."

Kate took a deep breath; she tried to convince herself that Graham was just slandering Henry. There was no way in hell Henry planned to take her baby and hand it to Marlon just for the company, right? No man in his right mind would do that to his own baby… 

But Kate's mind kept creating a what-if scenario. 

What if Graham was telling the truth? 

What if Henry was tricking her the whole time, waiting for her to give birth and then stole the baby in exchange for the company's ownership? It might sound ridiculous, but if it were true… 

"Then I will leave him," Kate stated firmly. "I won't get swayed by my own heart. If I find out Henry had that kind of plan, then I would bring my baby and escape. He will never find us for the rest of his life." 

Kate had such a deep trust and love for Henry, so if he betrayed her, then she would never be able to fall in love again. But that should be alright. 

As long as her baby was safe, Kate didn't mind sacrificing her selfish desire to be loved by anyone. She would rather be alone for the rest of her life than hurt her baby. 

"But of course, this won't happen right? It's just a ridiculous what-if scenario after all," Kate convinced herself. 

Thus, armed with her trust in Henry, Kate decided to busy herself by cooking dinner. It was the least she could do to get her mind off the scary possibility. 

Kate shook her head a few times as she tried to ward off the bad thoughts, "Stop thinking badly about him, Kate. Henry is trying his best to give us a good life; the least you could do is not burden him with unnecessary stuff."
