340: Chapter 340

Chapter 340

"You can't lie to me, Henry. So tell me your problem. Maybe I can help."1

That offer surely sounded very tempting. It would be great if Henry could just cry in front of Kate, telling her everything that happened and begging her to stay with him despite his mistake. 

He wanted to bawl out like a baby while hugging his beloved, and after that, things would be sunshine and rainbows for them.

'Heh, that's just an impossible dream at this point,' Henry thought. He had gotten such a strong reaction from Kate after the truth regarding Sarah and his engagement was revealed.

If the truth regarding Henry's plan was revealed as well, he might as well jump from this building and leave this world because he knew Kate would leave him knowing that horrendous truth.

Henry cleared his throat, ensuring he didn't sound whiny or weak while talking to Kate, "I'm just tired about a few problems I faced while starting my own company. I didn't realize it would be so difficult. But don't worry, I can manage."

"Ah, so that's why…" Kate nodded. She was relieved. "I really thought that you were facing a dire situation."

"Haha! Me? Oh, come on, Kitty, you know how capable I am. I will maneuver myself out of any sticky situation!"

Kate giggled, listening to how confident Henry was.

He sounded so confident that Kate thought she was overthinking when she heard his trembling voice at the beginning of the call. 

"Alright, alright, but if you're facing a dire situation, don't forget to call me. Even if I have to go to New York, I will go there and help, understand?"

"The only reason I want you to be here is to embrace you," Henry said. "I miss you so much, Kitty…"

"It's been a while, not a year," Kate said, but she also shared the sentiment. She missed him a lot. She had recently realized how hard it was to be separated from a man you loved. "But I cannot be there, at least not for a simple hug. You need to focus on yourself."

"I am. Everything should be ready for you to move in three months. I guarantee it will be more secure in this new company."

"Mhm, I trust you, Henry."

Henry and Kate talked about trivial stuff for a while until Kate hung up the call.

Henry flipped his phone on the desk, making sure he couldn't check the phone screen. He swallowed this growing uneasiness in his heart and returned to work, reading documents about legal preparation and a few contracts.

"Mr. Hubbard, can you get up on your own?" Diamond asked. She tried to help Graham, but he was too heavy. 

On top of that, she was somewhat reluctant to help him because Graham definitely brought this upon himself. 

Henry looked twice stronger than Graham, and the result of the fight was obvious.

Graham gritted his teeth while staring at the CEO's office door. He wiped the blood dripping from his nose and said, "I will ruin this bastard's life!"

He got up on his own, completely ignoring Diamond, who stood next to him.

"Mr. Hubbard, let me bring you to the hospital. You need to be treated," she offered. 

"I don't need your help. You're his lackey," Graham accused. "I'll go to the hospital myself. I'll make a record of all the wounds and sue him for assault and battery."

Diamond stopped worrying about Graham's condition when she knew Henry's company was in serious trouble. 

Graham had a lot of connections with the court. It was particularly impossible for Henry to avoid the lawsuit. 

Knowing his cousin was in trouble, Diamond knew how furious Vernon would be, "I suggest you not do that, Sir."

Graham turned his head towards Diamond and realized she had been glaring at him the whole time, "Shut up, you lackey! You don't know what kind of person he is! He is a piece of shit who tricked a woman into bearing his baby. Then he would take the baby to his father to get killed!"

"All that cruel act just because he is greedy. He is exchanging the baby for the complete takeover of the Grant family's company!"

…

Diamond knew that was not the case. 

If Henry truly wanted to steal his girlfriend's baby just to take over the Grant company, he wouldn't bother himself starting an advertising agency and publishing house.

Henry probably already said it in front of Graham, but this man was just blinded by his illogical rage that he couldn't swallow such simple logic. 

"You are going to face Vernon Phoenix Gray if you dare to sue him," Diamond continued. "Trust me, Henry and Vernon are very close. You're making an unnecessary enemy."

Graham went silent for a while.

His resolution faltered once Vernon's name was brought up.

Vernon had a big influence that would be enough to shut him up. On top of that, Henry might be twisting his words just to get Marlon's support.

Fighting against the Gray and Grant family was like a death sentence. He might as well hang himself after he filed a lawsuit. 

Diamond smirked as she had successfully slapped Graham with reality, "You're committing a career suicide, Mr. Hubbard. What can you do to retaliate if you don't even have the necessary capital?" Diamond said. "If I were you, I wouldn't be so rash to report this. What kind of punishment would Henry get? Probably a fine and not even a ten million dollar fine would be enough to scare him."

…

"This is not over yet. Tell your boss I'm not done with him," Graham said. "I will find a way to protect her, even if it would cost my life!"

Graham left in a hurry. Ignoring his appearance, he went down with the elevator.

Diamond sighed as she watched the elevator and glanced at the CEO's office door.

"Up to a rocky start. I hope it'll be worth it for you, Henry Grant."
