He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 289

Chapter 289: Chapter 289

Sarah sighed, "How could you become so cruel to Henry? You know that I just want to separate them, right? Henry has been out of control, so I want to make sure that he wouldn’t do something that would hurt an innocent woman like Kate."

"Your dedication and gentleness are admirable, but frankly, I don’t give a damn," Graham said coldly. "Your fiance wants to hurt the woman I love, and I will not let that happen. I will destroy his public image if that’s all needed to separate them and save Kate."

"This makes me sad, but... it can’t be helped, I guess," Sarah said. "You know, I am in a bad mood today. This is connected to Henry."

"Did you call him?" Graham asked.

"Yes, I did, and the result is not what I hoped for," Sarah replied. "I called him, asking him to stop the plan to take Kate’s baby. I even tell him I will help him find another way to appease his father."

"But he refused?" Graham sneered.

"Yes, he refused, saying there was no point in starting from the bottom when he was so close to getting Kate’s love completely. He even wants to propose to her, cementing Kate’s trust."

Graham’s eyes widened, "THAT FAST!?"

"Yes, that’s why I will find another way to stop him. I don’t want to hurt another woman," Sarah said.

"Alright, I will talk to Kate—"

"No!" Sarah interrupted. "Don’t tell Kate anything. She cannot hear this bad news now. She is pregnant, remember? What if she gets too shocked until she has a miscarriage?"

"Then what should I do?!" Graham yelled as he got frustrated by the whole thing.

"Let me handle everything, okay? Just make sure that you have control over Kate’s ex-husband."

Graham still felt that he should’ve done more because this involved the woman he loved, but in the end, he decided to just trust Sarah for this, "I trust you, Sarah. Do tell me if you need anything."

"I will, bye, Graham."

Beep.

Sarah smiled after she hung up the call, "Who would’ve expected that it’d be so easy to trick the most renowned lawyer from New York. I guess it’s true that you become irrational once you’re in love. That’s why I never loved anyone in my life," she chuckled. "Well, do I love Henry? I wonder about that. But it doesn’t matter in the end because I’m doing this to ensure Henry knew what kind of game he was in."

"If he doesn’t obey me, then he will see that woman’s stomach ripped open and her baby thrown into the sewage," Sarah knew this would be a risky game. But it was what made playing with Henry to be so much fun. "James got bored, so I ditched him. And now it’s time to play with Henry."

Kate began to work on the documents previously handled by Mai. It was tiring, but it still felt refreshing for her because it had been a while since she worked again.

Henry didn’t allow her to even think about going to the office with the opinion that Kate shouldn’t be exhausted or stressed out by what was happening in the office.

But she didn’t feel exhausted or stressed out. She was in perfect condition now!

As she was getting busy with the documents, she heard someone knock on the door.

She lifted her head and stared at the door, "Who is it?"

Click.

The door was opened from the other side. Henry walked into her office with a worried face, "Why are you here, Kitty? You know you can’t get exhausted by work, right?"

Kate sighed, "I’m not exhausted at all. Why are you keeping me from working in the office? Did something happen while I was away?"

"Not at all!" Henry denied vehemently. Then he cleared his throat to fix his tone. "Office work is generally stressful. Come on, Kate, you know this already. I’m working my ass off here so you won’t be stressed out during pregnancy. Why won’t you relax at home..."

Kate finally put the document in her hand on the table and stood up to face her man, "I don’t know what makes you think that I will be stressed out at work. You DO realize that I’ve been spending the past five years working my bones off, right? Pregnancy wouldn’t affect my productivity. Well, maybe later, when I’m around six to seven months pregnant. But definitely not now. I can still work without a problem."

Kate crossed her arms and stared at Henry with eyes full of suspicion, "Now the question is, where were you, Mr. Grant? You told Mai that you have a meeting in the main company, but I know it’s a lie."

"A lie? But I’ve been in the main company the whole time!" Henry stated. Though it was an obvious lie, he wished that Kate couldn’t read through his lies.

...

Kate continued staring at Henry without blinking, and then she ordered, "Mai, leave now. I will have a private conversation with our CEO."

Mai looked at Mr. Grant and Mrs. Woods, who were about to have a face-off. She gulped and grabbed her documents and bag. She didn’t want to get involved in this couple’s fight, so she dashed off and closed the door.

Henry stood still, staring back at his beloved, but deep down, he was so nervous. He was not ready to get Kate directly involved with his problem, especially not about Marlon, Penny, or Sarah.

If he could, he wanted Kate to stay ignorant and happy. He’d deal with this problem all by himself, and once he was done, Kate wouldn’t suspect a thing, and they’d live happily ever after.

’Is that really a difficult thing to do?’ Henry asked himself. "Just like what I told you just now. I was in the main company. My Dad wants me to do a presentation, and I was right there busy with a meeting."

Kate sighed, "Why do you need to lie, Henry?"

"I’m not lying," Henry insisted. "I’ve been trying my best to keep the Emperor Publishing thriving during your absence since you need to rest, and I’m doing it fairly well. You can even ask the finance department about our recent
