"Going ho, Sir?" Mindy asked as she saw Henry leaving his office with his briefcase.
As usual, Henry had a big smile as he left the office. He was always happy whenever he went ho, which ant he would be reunited with his beloved after a grueling day at work.
"Sure is," Henry replied with a wide smile. "You should go ho too, Mindy. I think we have the job done, right?"
"Oh, don’t lie, Sir. You know we still have much to do," Mindy smiled sarcastically. "That’s why I have to work overti three tis this week."
"Hehe, I’m sorry. I can’t miss spending ti with my wife when she’s pregnant. I’m afraid she’ll go into labor when I’m in the office," Henry said.
Mindy nodded.
Of course, she understood that Henry would prioritize his wife over work. So Mindy didn’t mind taking overti as long as Kate had a safe delivery for her baby.
’Well, Henry is also much faster at work now, so I guess it’s not really bad for him to clock out at five. He’s the Boss, after all,’ Mindy thought.
Henry drove to the Phoenix Tower and humd a love song while using the VIP elevator straight to the penthouse. He had been expecting his beloved to smile at him and give him a welco kiss, a perfect appetizer for a blissful life for Henry.
He unlocked the door with his fingerprint and opened it without hesitation. He had a big smile as he called his beloved woman, "Kitty! I’m ho!"
...
Henry’s smile faltered. He hung his coat and entered the living room, but didn’t find her anywhere, "Kitty? Where are you?"
Henry began to worry. He was afraid that Kate might’ve gone into labor earlier than expected. He began panicking.
"Kitty? Kate? Katherine!"
Henry got no answer, but he heard a noise in the bedroom. So he rushed to the bedroom, and the first thing he saw was her tears.
Kate was crying while shoving all of her clothes into a suitcase. Her eyes were puffy, but her tears wouldn’t stop even if she tried to hold it back.
Kate felt pathetic to cry over this bastard who had tricked her!
"K—Katherine?" Henry tried to call her, but Kate ignored him completely. She simply went back and forth, shoving all her clothes into the suitcase and grabbing her tote bag.
She put all of her belongings, wallet, iPad, phone, car key. She basically made sure that she left nothing in this damned penthouse!
"Katherine, stop this! What’s wrong?!" Henry tried to stand behind Kate and talk things out.
He feared the worst might’ve happened, but it shouldn’t be because he had specifically protected Kate from anyone for the past month.
She wasn’t allowed to leave the penthouse at all. She wasn’t even allowed to cook because it might tire her out.
He ensured that Kate was in her best condition before going into labor, so he didn’t understand what she was doing.
Kate didn’t answer. She simply treated Henry like air while busying herself with her belongings.
Henry began to panic. He grabbed Kate’s arm to stop her from putting everything into her bag, "Katherine! Answer ! What happened?!"
Kate finally stopped. She turned her head and glared at Henry, who still dared to act clueless.
"Let go, you filthy scum," Kate said coldly.
Henry felt that his body had turned cold instantly. He was at a loss, "W—What happened? What did I do?"
"You know what you did," Kate scoffed. "You know everything. I was the only one who got fooled. Congratulations, Mr. Grant, you’ve done a great job fooling a stupid, average-looking bitch like ."
Henry’s hand trembled when he heard the familiar last sentence. He connected the dots instantly but still denied it because he refused to let go of their beautiful lives.
"W—What do you an? I don’t understand. We have a good life, right? Are you upset about sothing?" Henry began to act like he was completely clueless.
It wasn’t ignorance. He was just in denial.
He refused to accept that his relationship with Kate ended today because once she truly left him, his life was done for.
"Katherine, I—"
"STOP PLAYING DUMB!" Kate snapped. She had enough of this bastard who had played her heart for so long. "Don’t you dare to deny it, Henry! You’re a fucking monster!"
Henry shook his head. He continued denying, "I—I don’t know. I don’t understand what you an. W—We have a great life together, Katherine. I’m working hard for us. I’m doing everything so we can be happy!"
"So YOU can be happy. You have no pity for , Henry Grant!" Kate yelled. She grabbed her phone and unlocked it. "If you continue to act like a dumb bastard, then this will wake you up!"
Kate played the voice recording she had been listening to the whole evening.
Henry stared emptily at the phone screen with the text written as.
’The truth of the love scamr.’

’Are you sure you will be able to execute this?’ Marlon asked in the recording. ’Jas has been tricked by that woman, and look at what happened to him. He ended up dead because he dared to disobey .’
’You don’t need to worry about , Dad,’ Henry’s familiar voice was undeniable in the recording. ’I already have Sarah as my fiancée. I will marry her in the end. I just can’t accept my brother’s death. That woman, Katherine Woods, has derailed my brother, so I will get my revenge on her.’
’Isn’t she a beauty? I’m afraid you’ll get enchanted with her as well,’ Marlon asked.
’I fucked her once and got her pregnant. She is just an average-looking bitch, she is not that beautiful, and she doesn’t hold a candle against Sarah,’ Henry said.
He rembered that part. He had to lie because if he could be honest, Katherine was such an enchanting beauty that Henry actually fell in love the first mont their eyes t in person.
But Marlon would hate to hear that, so he had to lie.
’So, what’s your next step?’ Marlon asked again.
’I will make her fall in love with until she divorces her husband, abandons her job, and leaves everything behind just to be with ,’ Henry said confidently and cruelly. ’Then I will take her baby and give it to you. You can do whatever you want. In exchange, I want the complete transfer of ownership for the Grant Family’s assets and businesses.’
’Hahahah, alright then, I guess I can use that baby as a tool to raise a good dog. It’s a worthless child of a whore, after all. I’ll have fun beating that child in my old days,’ Marlon said coldly. ’We have a deal, Son.’
’Thank you, Dad. You can trust with this job. I will ruin that woman’s life.’
