Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire
Chapter 231: Transfer of Property

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Transfer of Property

The woman he loved most, always hidden deep in his heart, the woman he once wanted to protect for a lifetime, had actually been harmed by someone.

At that, Henry Summers’ heart ached, and he used the power of the Summers Family to get her a divorce.

Homeless, he arranged a property for her on the outside and visited her from time to time.

The two of them had separated due to a misunderstanding, so it didn’t take long for their old love to rekindle.

Over the years, Yalena Grace had silently been his secret lover, never uttering a word of grievance.

This made Henry Summers all the more heartbroken.

Grace Summers was also Yalena Grace’s daughter.

To be more precise, she was his and Yalena Grace’s daughter.

Henry Summers walked in with Yalena Grace, ready to negotiate with the police and see if they could make an exception.

But to his surprise, the police didn’t give him any face at all.

"Mr. Summers, I’m really sorry, but there are some things we haven’t fully verified with Miss Summers, so it’s not convenient to meet with her."

Upon hearing this, Henry Summers instantly became enraged, "What do you mean it’s not convenient to see her? I am Grace’s father! Why can’t I see my own daughter?"

The two police officers standing in front of Henry Summers exchanged a look, then explained: "We’ve received some new evidence, so we need Miss Grace Summers to cooperate with the investigation."

Yalena Grace rebuked coldly: "What kind of silly rule is this, do you know who we are? I advise you to release Grace quickly! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" The police officer’s face turned grim in an instant, as he asked coldly in return.

Yalena Grace hadn’t thought through her words before speaking, and only after hearing the police officer’s response did she suddenly come back to her senses.

Her eyes reddened instantly, and she looked at Henry Summers with a plea in her eyes, "Henry..."

"Don’t say anything more." Henry Summers didn’t expect Yalena Grace to say those arrogant words just now.

This was the police station. Didn’t she know what she was saying?

He used to think Yalena Grace was quite gentle and sensible, but didn’t imagine she could be so impatient.

Realizing she had said the wrong thing, Yalena Grace closed her mouth silently.

Henry Summers coolly withdrew his gaze and nodded at the police, "I’m really sorry, officer, we just worry too much about our daughter. Please, just let us see her."

The young officer looked at him and said, "Not now, if you don’t mind, you can sit and wait over there."

Henry Summers’ face looked very unpleasant, but he led Yalena Grace to sit down on the chairs.

After waiting for about half an hour, Henry Summers grew impatient. As he stood up to leave, suddenly a few people came out.

"Declan? Evan? What are you doing here?" Henry Summers stood up quickly, a flicker of guilt crossing the bottom of his eyes.

He instinctively stepped in front of Yalena Grace, trying to block their line of sight.

But it was too late, Declan Summers and Evan Summers had already seen the woman.

"Father, what brings you to the police station? You’re here to see Grace, right? What a coincidence, so are we."

Evan Summers’ gaze swept coldly over the woman, his eyes slightly narrowed as he assessed and scrutinized her.

Declan Summers didn’t speak, but his gaze was fixed intently on Yalena Grace.

Feeling uncomfortable under the stare of the two men, Yalena Grace subconsciously shifted her gaze.

"Ouch, that must be Declan and Evan. Aunt has heard about you two for a long time..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Declan Summers suddenly spoke, "Oh? And who might you be? I don’t recall my dad mentioning you before."

Yalena did not expect Declan not to follow the usual pleasantries.

A simple remark caught her off guard.

She glanced at Henry Summers and saw that his face was grim and frightening, with a hint of anger flickering in his dark eyes.

"Declan, Evan, don’t be so rude. Let me introduce her, this is Aunt Grace."

Declan chuckled lightly and retorted, "Hmm? Am I wrong then? Indeed, you’ve never mentioned this Aunt Grace to us before."

He emphasized the last three words heavily.

Anyone could sense his dislike for Yalena.

Declan had seen the staff around Henry before, but never this Yalena...

For some reason, whenever he saw Yalena, he felt a strange sensation, as if her face looked familiar, but he just couldn’t put his finger on what was off.

Henry Summers was caught off guard by Declan’s words, unsure of how to respond for a moment.

Out of the blue, Declan chuckled to himself and turned his gaze to Yalena, "Aunt Grace, my dad came to the police station to see his daughter, but what about you? I don’t remember my father having any female secretaries."

"I, I am a friend of your father and came with him to see Grace... Miss Grace," Yalena’s smile stiffened for an instant.

Fortunately, she was not someone inexperienced in world affairs and quickly adjusted her emotions, making her response seem flawless.

Declan lowered his eyes slightly, nodded faintly, and then left with Evan.

"Dad, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to leave now. Oh right, Grace really stirred up trouble this time, and it won’t be easy to get her out."

The one Grace offended was Lucas Shaw.

Given Lucas Shaw’s vindictive nature, he would definitely not let Grace off easily.

Moreover, Grace took action against Serena Summers this time, and considering the importance Lucas Shaw places on Serena, he certainly won’t let the matter rest easily.

However, no matter what kind of retribution Lucas Shaw decides to take, Declan won’t be getting involved.

His inaction was already a favor to Grace.

Watching the two’s retreating figures, Henry Summers’s face was gloomy, his mind seemingly preoccupied with thoughts.

Yalena reached out and pulled on Henry’s sleeve, "Honey, why do I feel that your son has a lot of hostility towards me?"

In private, Yalena always addressed Henry in this way, and she hadn’t noticed anything amiss this time.

But Henry’s expression changed abruptly, and he shook off Yalena’s hand, looking warily around, "What are you shouting about? We are in public. If someone hears you, my reputation could be ruined."

Realizing what she had said, Yalena suddenly turned pale, "I’m sorry... President Summers, I know I was wrong, please don’t be angry! It’s just a habit."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened instantly, filled with a sense of grievance.

"You know me, I haven’t asked for anything by following you all these years, I just hope our daughter could grow up safe and healthy... But ever since Serena was brought back, how much has our Grace suffered? Don’t you feel heartache for the trials I, as a mother, have endured?"

Her complaints echoed in his ears, and Henry Summers felt increasingly irritated, scolding loudly, "Enough, enough, don’t talk anymore. I know you’ve suffered these past years. Just wait a little longer, once I’ve managed to transfer the assets, our family of three will be together."

Henry spoke intentionally in hushed tones; after all, this was a police station, and he dared not be too ostentatious.
