Sarah waited until Erin returned to her room before she grabbed her phone and walked to her room. She had to call Graham because he was her last hope in case this baby kidnapping plan failed.
The call was connected not long after;
—
"Graham, how’s Matt? Did he show any progress so far?" Sarah asked.
Graham didn’t answer her imdiately. He clenched the phone as he had a lot of repressed rage for Sarah, whose action made things worse for everyone, including him.
"Graham?"
"You still have the gut to call after what you did, huh?" Graham sneered. "Did you think I don’t know you sent Kate sothing that destroyed her completely?"
Sarah couldn’t help rolling her eyes this ti. She was also annoyed by this man who was such a hypocrite.
He acted as if he cared so much for Katherine, even though he had done more harm than good to her. He was no better than Erin, but Sarah had to keep feeding his delusion that he was actually saving Kate from that monster called Henry.
’Love is truly blind, huh? Even a renowned lawyer could beco a fool just because he falls in love,’ Sarah thought.
She took a deep breath and began her act to convince Graham, "Yes, I sent her the recording between Marlon and Henry, the proof that they are in cahoot to take Kate’s baby."
"And why would you send that?! Don’t you know that she is in the late stage of pregnancy? What if she had a miscarriage due to shock!" Graham yelled. "I will never forgive you if Kate got hurt because of you, Sarah. I don’t give a shit about this coalition between us when you’re going extre to hurt Kate."
"I’m not hurting her, Graham," Sarah sighed. "All I did was tell her the truth. You know she will not leave Henry without that kind of solid evidence, right? Just like what you said just now, she is in her last stage of pregnancy. What would happen if she gave birth while she was under Henry’s complete control? He would take the baby and ditch Kate imdiately!"
Graham began to hesitate once Sarah spouted so facts about their situation. He was truly powerless to help Kate because Kate hated him for telling the truth.
Sarah’s thod was ruthless and cruel, but it was also effective because now Kate and Henry were separated, though he was still unable to contact Kate because she lived in Vernon Phoenix Gray’s mansion.
Sarah smirked when she realized that Graham was hesitating. It was very easy to influence him because he was naturally impatient and illogical when it ca to Kate’s fate.
’But I’m also quite jealous. How co Kate gets to have three powerful n devoting their lives to her, Jas, Henry, and Graham,’ Sarah pondered in her heart. ’Must be nice to have that princess treatnt, huh?’
Sarah felt there was an itch in her heart, but she quickly ignored it, thinking that she was just being silly for wanting to be loved by three powerful n at once.
’I’m not a damsel in distress like Katherine. I can do everything on my own, including choosing my own partner in life,’ Sarah told herself. ’I’d feel humiliated if I had to rely on n.’
Sarah sneered at Katherine as she kept bringing her down, ’What a pathetic excuse for a woman. She thought she was smart and tough. Oh, I might barf now.’
Graham went silent for a long ti before he asked, "Then what would you do next? Don’t tell that you’d just ignore them once you’ve successfully separated them. I need a way to contact Kate now since she knows the truth; I will co to her and save her."
"I’m still waiting for a chance to et her as well. Vernon colluded with Henry, and now that she is out of Henry’s apartnt, she hides in Vernon’s mansion. Kate is so pitiful, right? She doesn’t know that Vernon only wants to help his cousin, not her."
"Yeah, I can’t imagine the pain she went through..." Graham sympathized. He kept thinking about Katherine repeatedly, hoping that Kate would reach out to him first.
He would do everything as long as Kate asked for it.
He’d even spend all of his fortune just for her to get out of that prison. After all, he could always get more money by handling cases. It might be hard, but as long as Kate was with him, he would be fine.
In fact, he would be the happiest man on earth if they lived together, as he knew that Kate would be a wonderful wife.
"That’s why I need your constant help, Graham. I’m just a woman with limited connections here in the United States. You are the reliable partner that I need," Sarah said. "How about Matthew? How’s the progress?"
Graham’s mood went down once they talked about Matthew Woods, "That bastard is completely useless. I paid an expensive acting coach to give him a private lesson, and that coach told this man needs a complete fresh start. His acting is no better than a middle schooler."
"Really? Hahahahah!" Sarah couldn’t help but laugh freely, knowing how pathetic that must’ve been.
"Don’t fucking laugh! Why do I need to babysit this useless man?"
"Oh, you know we need him as our last resort, right? We can use him to ruin Henry’s public image. I’m sure he will be a great asset if we train him right."
"Then you need more ti because I don’t see him making it to the big screen anyti soon," Graham complained. "It might even take him years until he can be used."
"That’s fine, he is our long term investnt," Sarah smiled. "Rember, Graham, we have the sa goal in mind. I want to protect Kate from that monster and his family while you want to have her. So let’s continue this cooperation, right?"
"... okay, I trust you, Sarah. This is for Kate’s sake."
Beep.
