Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire
Chapter 254: Do You Still Have Any Value Worth Deceiving?

Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Do You Still Have Any Value Worth Deceiving?

Henry Summers was very confident about this matter, because although the Lane Family had ostensibly cut ties with Mrs. Summers, they still deposited a considerable amount of money into her bank account every year.

In fact, this card was brought out from the Lane Family by Jeanette Lane in the first place.

As the darling daughter of the Lane Family, how could she possibly not have her own secret funds?

Twenty years ago, Henry Summers was just a poor boy, with very bad family conditions. The only thing he had going for him was his decent-looking face.

He could afford to establish the Summers Group because of the money Jeanette Lane brought from her family.

At first, there were only thirty million in the card.

Then he found out that each year there was money being deposited into it, never less than thirty million.

For over twenty years, it had never stopped.

The reason why Henry Summers transferred assets was because the actual largest shareholder of the Summers Group was Jeanette Lane.

Even though Jeanette had a soft and weak character, she was very assertive in some aspects, such as absolutely not allowing mistresses outside.

If she knew about Yalena Grace’s existence, she would definitely take the company back, and in the end, he would be left with nothing.

Therefore, he had to make preparations in advance.

That money had long been transferred elsewhere; it was impossible for anyone to trace it in such a short amount of time.

He did so with utmost carefulness, confident that no one could easily trace it.

He was extremely grateful that he had done that, wasn’t it coming in handy now? Once this storm blew over, he would take out that money and make a comeback.

Mrs. Summers’ face showed distress, and a hint of pain flashed through her eyes, "No, my second brother refuses to talk to me, and my elder brother has already blacklisted my number."

"Then call Old Mr. Lane, you are his biological daughter after all, I refuse to believe that he could just watch you living in suffering."

"It’s useless, I know my father’s temper the best, the moment I left the Lane Family, he no longer considered me his daughter."

"So you can’t even borrow some money? I really don’t understand what use it was to marry you!" Henry Summers cursed irritably.

Mrs. Summers stared in disbelief, "What did you say? Henry Summers, do you realize what you’re saying? I cut ties with my family because of you, don’t you have any conscience?"

While she was speaking, she kept pounding her fists against Henry Summers.

Henry Summers got increasingly annoyed by her actions, snorted coldly, and grabbed her wrist, flinging it away harshly, "What do you think made me choose you in the first place? Wasn’t it because of the Lane Family?"

Her brain went "boom" as if something had shattered.

Mrs. Summers stared blankly at Henry Summers, feeling he was extremely unfamiliar at that moment, her eyes red with fury, her face twisted with rage.

There was only malice and mockery left in his eyes.

It took her a while to find her voice again, whispering, "What... what on earth are you talking about?"

Henry Summers kicked the coffee table angrily, and as it slid across the smooth floor, it made a screeching noise.

Mrs. Summers’ heart clenched fiercely.

Then, she heard Henry Summers say, "Jeanette Lane, how much longer will you deceive yourself? I told you, from the very start, I approached you just because you were the Lane Family’s miss. And what did you do? You were foolish enough to sever ties with the Lane Family."

"Do you have any idea how prestigious the title of Lane Family’s son-in-law is? Does Old Mr. Lane think the millions he deposits into your card every year can make up for my loss? If I had been the Lane Family’s son-in-law, by now my worth would certainly be over ten billion already!"

His accusation was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, an expression Jeanette had never seen before.

"No, you’re lying! Henry, you’re deceiving me, aren’t you?"

Henry Summers sneered, "Deceive you? Do you still have any value that’s worth my effort to deceive you now?"

She never dreamed that, after giving up everything for him, including her family, she would be considered foolish in his eyes.

Also, what was that about millions?

The Lane Family has been giving her money all these years?

Tears suddenly welled up, uncontrollably pouring out.

Mrs. Summers covered her heart, where it ached terribly, as if it had been sliced open by a knife, blood uncontrollably flowing out.

The cruel reality was ripped open, almost like a flood rushing toward her, giving her no chance to catch her breath.

Dad, elder brother, second brother...

She was wrong.

She really was wrong.

For more than twenty years...

It turned out that Henry Summers married her, not because he loved her, but for the millions deposited into her card every year.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over her.

Then, a rough hand clutched her jaw, forcing her to raise her head.

Henry Summers commanded condescendingly, "I’ve booked you a flight to Imperial Capital for tomorrow. I believe if you are willing to admit your mistakes, Old Master Lane will definitely forgive you."

"Henry Summers, you bastard! After all, I bore you four children! Are you sure you want to treat me like this?"

Mrs. Summers’ eyes were bloodshot, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, but she couldn’t feel the pain.

Henry Summers laughed lightly, "As long as you don’t tell, how would they know? If you stay obedient from now on, we’ll still be a loving couple. Oh, and about the money question you asked, I can now tell you—"

Mrs. Summers’ heart leaped, then she heard him speak slowly, "The asset transfer is real. Do you know when I started it?"

Mrs. Summers struggled desperately, trying to resist, but the disparity in strength between men and women was too great; she was viciously overpowered by Henry Summers, unable to move.

"Hahaha..." Henry Summers laughed wildly, leaning close to her ear and whispered, "It started with our marriage."

It was another thunderbolt striking Mrs. Summers’ heart; she clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with rage and sorrow.

Henry Summers let her go, disgustedly wiping his hands with a tissue as if she were something filthy.

God knows how long he had been waiting for this moment.

Ever since he knew Jeanette Lane was going to sever ties with the Lane Family, he had wanted to dump her.

Unfortunately, she was worried about retaliation from the Lane Family, and he had to endure it.

Later, Jeanette suddenly told him that she was pregnant, always using the child in her belly to force him into marriage.

At that time, he was fed up and wished he could immediately tell her the truth.

However, just when he was about to break up with her, Jeanette suddenly brought out that bank card and gave it to him without any reservations.

So naive, not guarding against him at all.

But the more so, the easier to control, right?

The Lane Family had only this daughter; they couldn’t possibly truly abandon her. As long as Jeanette was with him, the Lane Family couldn’t do anything to him.

Time flew, and more than twenty years had passed.

The moment he told the truth, Henry Summers felt incredibly liberated.

For more than twenty long years, he had been forced to marry a woman he didn’t like, and had to bear the disgust of sleeping with her and having children.

Heh...

Now, he was finally free.
