345: Chapter 345

Chapter 345

Sarah walked out of the study room and closed the door behind her. She walked through the corridor, holding a big grin on her face. To say that she was satisfied was an understatement; she was extremely delighted with the progress she made!1

Sarah couldn't help but chuckle a bit, thinking of Kate and Henry who would be busy handling Marlon's rage. They might be forced to move out, especially Kate since Marlon might actually target her life now.

Of course, she knew that Henry wouldn't end up like James. He was the last heir that Marlon had; if he killed that young man, then the Grant family bloodline would cease to exist.

"Well, I don't think that Marlon will be effective in killing Katherine either. I can see that she is far more resilient and cunning than what I've expected before," Sarah said. "But, at least Kate and Henry will be busy trying to fight Marlon. I can just sit back and relax for a while before I retrieve that crazy woman from a frozen wasteland."

Sarah chuckled upon imagining what kind of mess Marlon would create in Kate's life. Her eyes glinted with cruelty as she imagined the worst thing that could happen.

"Serve you right, you arrogant bitch. Now you will understand not to mess with me and my man," Sarah murmured before leaving the mansion.

Marlon lost the last trace of his kindness the moment Sarah left the study room. He darted his deep green eyes towards his prostitute mistress, and the latter shrieked immediately.

Penny lost all of her strength, and her feet wobbled the moment she became a target. She took a few steps back and tried to defend herself, "I—I don't know what's happening with that young man. I never taught him to betray you!"

"You don't know what's happening? Hah! It's obvious that the son of a bitch has his whore mother's blood in him!" Marlon snapped. He grabbed a glass on the table and threw it towards Penny. The glass missed and hit the wall behind her, shattering it to pieces.

Penny stepped away from the shattered glasses and rushed towards the door, trying to escape from her enraged husband, but Marlon grabbed her wrist and threatened, "Don't you dare to run away, you whore! I paid you to be my replacement wife, so you have to take Dahlia's role in everything!"

"But I don't know what to do! What should I do so you'd spare my life? I can't bring Henry in here, you know he is not going to change his mind!"

Marlon gritted his teeth.

Penny was right.

Even if he called that son of a bitch, Henry wouldn't budge, especially when he already had his own capital.

Marlon knew that James taught him how to invest efficiently since he was sixteen years old, and now that Henry was twenty-four, he could start his own business from all the money he had.

On top of that, he also got the backing of his nephew, Vernon Phoenix Gray, a notably powerful man after he acquired his father's company.

Henry got everything he needed in New York; there was no reason for him to go back to Los Angeles and beg for their help.

"I shouldn't have allowed Henry to learn how to invest from James," Marlon said. "No, I shouldn't allow him to study at all. That son of a bitch is supposed to be my good son that would not question anything! He is supposed to be obedient!"

Penny could feel that Marlon tightened his grip on her wrist. If this continued, she guessed that Marlon would unleash his rage on her, and that might be her end. So she quickly shifted the blame onto someone else, "It's that bitch! Katherine Woods!"

"Katherine Woods…"

"Yes!" Penny nodded desperately. "It's her! She seduced James and ruined his life by making him crazy in love with that mediocre woman. She did the same to Henry too! She is the real monster!"

Marlon finally released his grip on Penny's wrist. The woman rubbed her bruised wrist and tried her best not to sob because of the pain. She knew that Marlon had a temper, and that temper was the cause of many bad things, including James' death.

Penny was happy that Marlon directed his anger towards James, but she couldn't say the same when he was mad at Henry. After all, if Henry died, then Penny would most likely end up dead or trapped in a mental hospital for the rest of her life, like Dahlia.

"Katherine Woods, that woman is surely dangerous," Marlon murmured. "I shouldn't have killed James before. But I thought the fault was in James. Turns out the fault was in that bitch."

"Y—Yes, you should've killed that woman first. Or at least trap her in this mansion and make sure she can't escape. Let her give birth to her baby and take it," Penny suggested. Her heart was beating abnormally; she constantly thought of any provocation she could say as long as Marlon would direct his anger to someone else.

"Since Henry is already in love with that bitch, then let's just bring her here. Of course, Henry will try to save his girlfriend, right?" Penny said. "Especially once she has her baby, it would be so easy to control Henry."

Marlon scoffed while looking down at Penny, "You are very fast at pointing your finger to someone else. Are you really that scared your son will end up dead?"

Penny wanted to say that she was more scared of her own life. But Henry's death would be the end of her life as well, so she nodded.

"Please spare my son's life. We can do anything to that woman Katherine Woods, but at least spare Henry!" Penny begged. "He will never do something like this again! He will be willing to marry Sarah!"

Marlon closed his eyes. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Though he was furious at his son for trying to betray him, Marlon knew the real cause was that woman, Katherine Woods.

If she was gone, then none of this problem would be here.

"Alright, let's meet that woman. I want to see what kind of slut has successfully seduced my sons."
