He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 396

Chapter 396: Chapter 396

"Damn, then what am I going to do there, Sir? Surely you won’t let me idle, right?" Matt asked though he wished that Graham would just let him idle. He didn’t want to go to work after all. It would be a waste of his handsome face.

He just wanted to work out, earn money, and play games.

What a blissful life he had.

"You’ll still need to keep your shape and appearance. But I will also send you to a professional acting coach," Graham said. "I want you to learn how to become a better actor from scratch."

"Eh? But I’m already a good actor, Sir," Matthew claimed proudly. "I just don’t have the opportunity to prove myself. I can be the next big star if not for those nepo kids who took all the good roles from me!"

"Those kids have better acting than you," Graham said coldly. "Accept it, Matthew. You have no talent to become an actor. You are not good enough to make it to Hollywood."

Matthew got defensive since he always believed he was a great actor whose roles had been stolen by those useless kids born with silver spoons.

But he didn’t dare to argue with his new boss because Graham could easily cut off his only source of income.

"But why do you want me to learn acting again, Sir?" Matthew asked. "I’ve given up on that dream long ago."

Graham sighed. He leaned and stared straight at the road. He began to imagine Kate again, and his heart was aching, knowing that Kate should’ve been with a good man like him, not a bastard like Henry.

’This is all for her happiness,’ Graham convinced himself, even though he knew how painful it would be for Kate.

"I will make you a real actor. You will star in great movies that will boost your popularity," Graham said. His gaze darkened as he muttered. "I will make sure you have enough popularity to create a buzz in the media, and you WILL tell everyone about the truth."

...

"Uh... alright, whatever, you are the boss," Matthew said carelessly.

He didn’t know what Graham wanted. But by becoming a movie star, that meant he could finally have all the money in this world, and he could fuck as many women as he wanted!

’Finally, it’s my time to be the rich and handsome playboy!’ Matthew told himself.

"Stay in shape, and I don’t want any problem coming from you. You need to have a clean record when you re-debut later," Graham said.

"Yes, Sir!"

Beep.

—

Graham hung up the call, and he clenched his phone.

He had a tinge of doubt as he wondered if this was the correct choice.

After all, Kate hated Matthew to the bone, and if she knew that Graham funded the same man who hurt her, then Kate would be angry at him as well.

But this was all Sarah’s idea, from A to Z. It was all Sarah’s.

Graham was following her order because he wanted to save Kate.

"I don’t want to hurt you, Katherine. I want you to be happy and healthy by my side," Graham said. "But you refuse to listen. Rather than listening to me, you listen and believe that monster who wants to take your baby."

"So I have no other choice," Graham muttered. "But don’t worry, by the time you leave him, I will be the one who embrace you."

Kate told the taxi driver her destination, Phoenix Tower.

She was so exhausted after arguing with Graham. Not physically, but mentally.

It was unfortunate because she believed they could be good friends if not for his nonsensical slander about Henry and the out-of-the-blue love confession to her.

"It’s a wasted opportunity..." Kate murmured. "I see James in him, but James won’t do something heinous like slandering his little brother just so I will leave him."

Kate rarely showed it to Henry, but she truly loved him. She was so touched seeing how hard Henry worked in the office.

She also got an update from Mindy about all of his schedule.

Kate was a woman who valued a hardworking man more than a rich one. Even if Henry started as a regular office worker from the bottom, she would still love him completely.

But then...

She also wondered about what Graham said before she left.

-

’But time will prove my words, eventually.’

-

Though Kate didn’t believe most of his words, she actually began to doubt Henry as she heard that line.

Why?

Because Graham said it with unwavering faith, as if it was the truth, and Kate would eventually know that he was right.

...

’What if he is right?’ Kate asked herself. ’What if Henry truly wants to take my baby and give it to Marlon?’

Kate knew that imagination was ridiculous, but if it was true...

Kate winced.

She could feel the baby kicking inside her, probably angry at Mommy, who dared to think of such a heinous idea while Daddy was working hard.

But Kate still couldn’t let go of that idea.

’If he truly has that kind of evil intention towards me and our baby, then I...’ Kate swallowed her saliva hard. She was on the verge of crying and had never felt so betrayed in her life.

Just imagining it was enough to drive her insane. It was even worse than when she got betrayed by Erin and Matt.

’Oh God, I can’t—’ Kate shook her head. ’I shouldn’t imagine it. It’s not good for my mental health. I will go insane because of that stupid idea.’

Kate tried to ignore the growing doubt in her heart, but the more she tried to ignore it, the more worried she got.

’Okay, this might be because of my pregnancy hormone. But I NEED to get an assurance from him. As long as he assures me that he has no evil intention towards me, I will completely forget about Graham’s words.

Thus, Kate planned to ask Henry about it after he returned from work in the evening.
