He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 403

Chapter 403: Chapter 403

"Oh! We’re finally doing something against that bitch! I’m so excited~!" Erin cheered as she imagined the pain that Kate would experience.

Sarah was a dangerous woman, and Erin understood that very much. That’s why she didn’t dare to hurt Sarah for now.

She preferred for Sarah to eliminate Kate first, then Erin would stab this arrogant bitch while she was asleep.

’And I will have Henry for myself, hihi~.’

"I have an ace card that will not fail. I’ve been saving this for the right moment, the moment when they are so in love with each other," Sarah said. "This will break them off and hurt Kate until she can’t face Henry anymore. Then I will send you to kill that bitch, since Kate will be vulnerable."

"Perfect, I can’t wait!" Erin said. "Don’t worry, Miss. I went through a cold hell because of that ugly sister of mine. I will make her pay no matter what!"

’And I will let Henry kill you after that. It’s so easy to play with all of you,’ Sarah grinned, feeling that everything was according to her plan and the title of Duchess of York would be hers.

"Okay, so that’s a wrap for today. I’m sorry I can’t attend the meeting physically because I’m already eight months pregnant. I have to stay in my apartment," Kate said in front of her iPad.

She was having an online conference call with four of the top authors who were supposed to meet with her in the Empress Publishing office.

Unfortunately, Henry forbade her to leave the apartment when she was in the late stage of pregnancy, so she asked Mai to represent her and set up a Zoom meeting with the projector.

"My secretary will hand the contract to each respective author. Please read it carefully and email me if you find something not to your liking. Thank you, and I’m sorry for my absence," Kate apologized again.

"Oh, don’t worry, Mrs. Ross. I know pregnancy is hard. You shouldn’t push yourself too much!"

"Yeah! Don’t worry, we trust you with the contract. You’re the one who helped us to get our first big break!"

Kate couldn’t help but smile when she heard the encouragement from these authors she contracted.

She had plenty of support from her authors. They were already happy to leave Emperor Publishing and found a new home.

"Thank you, everyone. But please check the contracts nonetheless. I don’t want to leave a bitter taste in our partnership," Kate warned as usual.

After she turned off the Zoom call, Kate closed her iPad and lay on the sofa leisurely. She texted Mai and told her to send all the reports from the meeting.

"Ah, I feel bad for Mai..." Kate sighed. "She worked so hard, we didn’t even have time to spend a weekend together."

Kate also felt guilty because she knew that Michael and Mai wanted to go on a date, but they were so busy with work that they had no time to set up a nice Saturday night date.

"I should tell Henry to let them have a break on the weekend," Kate made a mental note to ensure she didn’t forget it.

She stared at the window and smiled peacefully.

A month had passed since she had an ultrasound. Her belly had grown so big that it was difficult for her to move around, so Henry usually helped her to dress or shower.

Unfortunately, she also lost her ability to cook.

Well, she could, and there should be no harm. But Henry was too much of a worrywart. He even wondered if they could dismantle the whole kitchen set and throw it away so Kate couldn’t cook.

People might find him excessive, but it was actually a love language that Kate liked since she had grown very attached to her man when she was pregnant.

She was so attached that she thought their perfect relationship could be shattered anytime soon.

"Everything is going too well. I’m not used to being happy. What if I get too relaxed and something bad happens?" Kate wondered.

But she soon shook her head to avoid overthinking. The doctor already told her not to overthink because it might harm her condition, as she was very prone when she was already eight months pregnant.

Unfortunately, since Kate was forced to stay home for a month, she was bound to get bored.

She began calling Dahlia and Chloe at least once every day to find someone to talk to while Henry was working.

They promised they’d come when she was in labor.

Dahlia wanted to visit the new penthouse, but Kate forbade her because she was also still being targeted by Marlon, so it was better to stay hidden unless she had an important thing to do.

Kate rubbed her belly and muttered, "Just a bit more. I have to be prepared for the sake of my baby."

Kate had gotten sleepier as she waited for Henry to return home. She glanced at the clock on the wall and grabbed her phone to call her man.

As she unlocked the phone and searched for his contact, her phone suddenly got a notification, and it was an email from an unknown sender.

She frowned. It was also sent to her work email, so Kate couldn’t miss it.

Thus, she clicked on the email to check it, and the unknown email wrote;

—

Do you want to know the truth about Henry Grant? Do you want to know what kind of monster he truly is?

Katherine, you are a fool.

Don’t believe me? Listen to the recording.

—

Within the email, the unknown sender attached a file that seemed to be an audio recording.

Kate gulped, "W—What is this? Is this a scam? Or maybe a scheme to separate me and Henry?"

Kate had guessed the sender must be either Sarah, Marlon, or Graham.

She was about to ignore it, but the audio recording attached was too tempting for her to ignore.

Kate took a deep breath and told herself, "Henry won’t hurt me. He is a good man, so I shouldn’t doubt him."

Thus, Kate downloaded the audio recording and played it.
