"I have to talk to Henry about this," Michael thought. "This is far worse than any military mission I’ve gone on before. Who would’ve expected that a woman like Erin existed in this world? I can’t even believe that she is Kate’s sister. It’s unbelievable because they are so different in every way possible."
Though, based on his investigation, it wasn’t hard to see why Kate spoiled her sister to the point that Erin beca unbearable.
"Their father was truly vile, a bastard that deserves the death sentence, or at least got his dick chopped off. He was a monster in human clothing," Michael murmured. "Kate was very brave to be a whistleblower at such a young age."
Of course, he pretty much knew about Kate and Erin’s background. Their family was infamous in their small town because of the cri their father committed. He wanted to tell all of this to Henry, but he wondered if Henry would change his mind about using the baby after finding out how hard Kate’s life had been since she was young.
After all, he couldn’t let Henry spare too much pity towards Kate. It would be disastrous if Henry ended up abandoning their mission altogether because of how he felt. They needed her baby as a bargaining chip.
...
"Hah, what am I doing now? I’m a fucking hypocrite," Michael sighed. "I’m here thinking that I want to protect Mai because she looks like a scared little bunny, acting like a good man. While I’m still hellbent about making sure that Henry’s cruel plan on Kate is still intact."
Michael wanted to laugh at himself. He should’ve known he would be one of those vile n in high society circles, manipulating everything and everyone around him just to get what he wanted.
He lowered his hand and stared at his palms full of calluses. He was a soldier before he beca Henry’s right-hand man. He was Henry’s childhood friend, but they were separated because he took the path to be a soldier, sothing he had been passionate about for a long ti.
Then he had to retire early despite his amazing career because of a disaster that had befallen his family, thanks to Marlon Grant, Henry’s dad.
His hand had been stained with blood in the war, and now he stained his hand in the nefarious life of Arica’s high society.
Michael scoffed, ridiculing himself, "No wonder that bunny is so disgusted with . Turns out I’m not really an honorable man."

Erin strutted through the corridor with this amazing feeling in her heart. She was satisfied with what she had done just now.
"I’ve beco a queen," Erin murmured as she entered the elevator and went down to the lobby. "Henry and Michael are so obsessed with , and this is only the beginning. They will continue to be so obsessed with , and they will fight over , hihi~."
She was also satisfied that Michael actually proved his love to her by beating the fuck out of that Asian bitch.
"That should serve her a lesson," Erin said maliciously. "She should know that I am the queen of this office, and I will soon beco the queen of Henry’s heart too, making him completely mine. Who knows that he might fall so deeply in love with that he will get on one knee and propose?"
Erin already imagined all the good things in life that she’d get by marrying Henry.
"Mrs. Erina Grant has a good ring to it," she giggled as she continued to daydream about marrying Henry.
Since Henry was filthy rich, she could buy any designer bag she wanted and get all kinds of cars, mansions, and vacations!
Who knew, maybe she could finally get the job she had wanted for a long ti: Influencer!
Erin giggled as she walked out of the office and waited for Uber.
"Hmm, should I tell Kate about it? I feel like I should," Erin wondered. "I want her to know that she won’t be able to catch up to . I will soon be Henry’s girlfriend, and I can tell him to kick her out of the company if I want."
"Hihi, I bet Kate will get on her knees and beg for forgiveness and for my favor because she wants to keep her job."
Thus, Erin texted Kate with a malicious smirk on her face.

Kate and Henry had arrived in the cafe and they went straight to the VIP room to wait for the author she was supposed to et today.
She sat side by side with Henry and then got the text from Erin.
Ding!
Kate raised her brow amusingly. She then checked the text.

From: Erin.
Hi, Sis.
I’m just wondering, what are you feeling right now after finding out that your CEO is very interested in ? Maybe you should beg and kiss my feet. Who knows, I might kick you out of the company because your look is revolting.

Kate scoffed when she read the text. She was glad that Erin was thinking like she already owned the world as early as now because that ant the plan was working in her favor.
Henry peered at Kate, who smiled while looking at her phone. He wondered if she had another man ssaging her on her phone. After all, for a beauty like Kate, it wouldn’t be hard for her to find a man other than Henry.
He knew that it wasn’t good to peek, but...
Henry stretched his neck a bit, just enough that he would be able to see whatever was on Kate’s screen, and he was relieved to see that it was a chat from Erin.
"That sister of yours, how long will you keep her satisfied with our arrangent?" Henry asked.
"Surely, she won’t stop until she gets what she wants, and I—" Henry shuddered when he rembered that he had to keep pretending to like her "—I don’t think that I can continue this charade for long."
"One month should be enough," Kate replied. "She’s currently living with Matt, but that doesn’t an she is loyal. Make sure to make her think that you’re into her, give her crumbs so she will leave Matt completely for you."
"And will you return to Matt after that?"
