341: Chapter 341

Chapter 341

Graham returned to his car, ignoring the blatant stares from people who passed him. The stinging pain on his body was nowhere near the pain in his heart. He kept thinking about Kate, who had been fooled by Henry, and he was also thinking about how powerless he was against Henry and Vernon.2

"Truly a family made in hell," Graham muttered. He pulled a tissue to wipe the blood on his face and then called Sarah.

The call was connected not long after, and Sarah immediately bombarded him with questions.

"How was it? Did you find him?" she asked.

"I did," Graham replied. "Henry is trying to start a business under his name. He said he is doing that to separate himself from his family and to give Kate a secure life, but I don't think that's true."

Sarah's lips thinned when she heard the news. Truly, Henry had so many surprises for her. He actually dared to start a company on his own.

'It seems that I have underestimated his stubbornness,' Sarah thought. 'He's more reckless than I expected.'

"What do you think he will do with this business?" Graham asked. "Surely, you don't think that he has good intentions, right?"

"Oh, I don't know…" Sarah sighed. "I mean, Henry is a good man. But he is blinded by greed right now. He probably wants to start his own business so he can persuade Kate to leave Emperor Publishing and go with him."

"He just wants to make sure that Kate has nowhere else to go, so when she has been uprooted from the company that she loved, she would be forced to do whatever Henry wants," Sarah said, continuing to pour negative emotions into Graham's mind. "And since Kate is so foolishly in love with Henry, she would be willing to abandon everything just to be with him."

"Damn!" Graham cursed as he swallowed every word that came out of Sarah's mouth. "He beat me up as well. That bastard needs to die!"

"He beat you up? Why don't you file a lawsuit for that? It's considered assault, right?"

"I want to, but he is backed by Vernon Phoenix Gray, his cousin. If I sue Henry for this, Vernon would be my enemy, and I don't want to take that stupid risk," Graham said.

Sarah rolled her eyes while on the call. Graham wasn't as stupid as she expected. It would be nice if Graham would do anything she said, but he still had a few brain cells left, it seemed.

However, that didn't mean he was out of usage for Sarah.

"Alright, then let's just focus on Erin and Matthew. They are our two best bets," Sarah said. "Of course, this would be a long project, but this will hurt Kate really bad and shame Henry until he can't even show his face in public."

Graham shuddered. He sensed a malicious intention coming from Sarah. She might think that she was slick and subtle, but Graham was a lawyer for almost a decade now. It wasn't difficult for him to sense if someone truly had a bad intention.

He knew this plan would definitely hurt Kate, but he had no other way.

Graham imagined the tears of anguish that would stain Katherine's beautiful face, and his heart ached whenever he realized that he was involved in this evil project.

'But that would be a temporary pain. Kate will realize that she cannot be with Henry or she would be shamed by people. She will have nowhere to go, and when that time comes… she will find me,' Graham thought, suppressing the guilt in his heart.

'I will treat her right. I will show her how good of a man I am.'

"When will you tell Marlon about his son's doings?" Graham asked. "Surely, that old crook will be furious knowing that he annulled the engagement with you, right?"

"Oh, he will be furious, for sure," Sarah confirmed. "I have been thinking about keeping it to myself, hoping that Henry would still have some kindness in his heart to let go of Kate, and we will find another way to appease Marlon, so he will still transfer the company to Henry."

"But Henry is very impatient. He is greedy and selfish, so I might have to tell Marlon before it's too late…" Playing with her sweet and caring card, Sarah continued to fool Graham who was still surrounded by negative emotions. "Do you think it's too evil for me to ruin his life? I mean, I just want things to return to normal…"

"No, it's not too evil," Graham tried to justify their action. "We are trying to protect Kate from Henry's greed; we are doing the right thing."

Sarah smirked. She was trying her best to hold her laugh. "You are right, we are doing the right thing, Graham."

Graham nodded, feeling at ease knowing that he was still the good guy in this uphill battle against Henry and his family.

"For now, I will monitor Matt's progress. I have to make sure that he looks good, so he will be convincing enough in front of the camera later," Graham said.

"I'm thinking of the correct time to retrieve Erina Ross from that frozen wasteland. I'll think about it after having a talk about Henry's behavior with Marlon," Sarah said. 'After all, I want that crazy bitch to lose her mind completely first. I want her to be insane, so she might actually kill Kate's baby in a fit of rage.'

Sarah's smirk grew wider as she imagined Erin, Kate's crazy sister, stabbing Kate's belly. Or, maybe if the baby was already born, then Erin would strangle that kid as revenge after tossing her in the middle of the frozen wasteland.

'Hmm, I will let her stay there for a while. She needs a year to be completely insane. Let her be my craziest puppet, hihihi~.'

"You should get yourself treated, Graham. I know that Henry is a good fighter; he must've beaten you badly," Sarah suggested.

"He did…" Graham gritted his teeth. Never in his life did he expect himself to get beaten by a thug. It was humiliating, to say the least.
