He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 408

Chapter 408: Chapter 408

Mai was absolutely shocked by the sight of crying Mr. Henry Grant.

She knew Henry had a soft spot for Kate, but seeing him cry was a whole different level.

She also realized that Kate’s eyes were puffy, so she had been crying earlier.

Nevertheless, the situation didn’t look good.

’Did they have a fight?’ Mai wondered for a second. ’Even if they did, I don’t think it could turn this bad. Kate would not prolong an argument or a fight without reason.’

So she approached Kate and Henry with Michael behind her and asked, "What is happening here, Kate? Mr. Grant?"

Henry ignored Mai, but he glanced at Michael, and Michael went pale instantly.

So Mai was the only one left in the dark, not knowing what everyone was thinking right now.

"Kate?" Mai called her name. She put her hand on Kate’s luggage to stop her and asked, "I need you to tell me the problem, please."

Kate scoffed, "I think the scum behind you knew about it. Why don’t you ask him?"

Mai turned around and saw Michael, who looked pale. He got stiff, and his lips were zipped tight.

"Michael? What’s wrong with you?"

...

Michael didn’t reply. He lowered his head, feeling a great amount of burden on his shoulders as he realized his beautiful life with Mai was about to end.

"Michael?"

"Heh, of course, he would stay silent. After all, he assisted a monster to fool a woman just so he could trade a baby for money," Kate said. She clicked on the recording on her phone and told Mai, "Listen to this, Mai. You will know that we have been fooled the whole time."

Mai didn’t expect anything bad and thought it was all just a misunderstanding.

So she listened to the recording, and her expression immediately turned from worry to shock.

She stared at Kate while shaking her head slightly, "T—This can’t be—"

"Yes, you heard it right, Mai," Kate pointed at Henry and said, "This man knocked me up just so he could fool me into abandoning everything in Los Angeles and run away with him to New York. He made me fall in love with him so he could take the baby and give it to his crazy father just so his father would transfer all of the Grant family assets to his name."

"And that man behind you..." Kate scoffed at Michael, who hung his head low. "He assisted Henry in everything. Who knows, maybe the dangerous ambush that we experienced before was just a scheme so we would abandon everything in L.A."

Both Michael and Henry knew that wasn’t the case. But they also knew there was no point in arguing with Kate.

She was blinded with rage and resentment. If they dared to say anything to refute that claim, it would only make her explode.

Meanwhile, Mai was too shocked to react. She turned around and glared at Michael, "Was that true? Did you help Henry to take Kate’s baby just for money?!"

...

Michael nodded weakly as he accepted his death sentence, "I’m sorry..." he murmured.

"Sorry? Is that all you want to say?!" Mai began to raise her voice as well. But rather than arguing endlessly with Michael. She simply grabbed Kate’s hand and said, "That’s it, we’re leaving!"

Mai glared at Henry, who was still holding Kate’s arm, and yelled, "Let her go, you asshole! I don’t want my sister to be touched by a bastard like you!"

Henry didn’t falter even when the two women glared at him simultaneously. He repeated his statement, "I can’t. I have to keep Kate and... her baby safe, no matter what."

"You—!"

"Just tell me where you want to go, Katherine. I will not stop you, but I have to escort you because Sarah and Marlon are waiting for an opportunity to attack you," Henry said seriously. "Please trust me, just this once, Kate."

Mai gritted her teeth. She did not trust this sneaky scum at all, not after what he had done to Kate, and she knew that Kate had the same idea as her.

"Kate, we shouldn’t—"

"Okay, I will tell you where I stay with Mai," Kate said. "But I don’t want to be in the same car with you. I feel nauseous. Mai will drive to our destination, and you can follow my car or tell your subordinate whatsoever. I don’t care anymore, Henry."

Henry nodded. He slowly released Kate’s arm and said, "Michael and I will follow your car from behind."

Kate ignored Henry and stared at Michael, who stood like a statue in front of her, "Move, you scum. You are no different than him. You two deserve to rot in hell."

Michael didn’t respond until Mai was the one who snapped, "MOVE!"

...

Michael finally moved to the side, staring at Mai and Kate, who walked to the elevator and went down to the basement parking lot first.

Henry patted Michael’s shoulder, and Michael quickly brushed it off, "You’ve done it, Henry. You ruined everything," Michael said coldly. "I already told you many times that you should’ve been more honest with her. I told you yesterday that you should tell Kate about our initial plan, but you kept delaying."

Henry was already accepting all the blame pointed at him. He scoffed and said, "Yes, I did. I ruined my only chance to be happy."

"You don’t seem regretful for what you did."

"No, I have no time to regret," Henry said calmly, though his heart already sank and spiraled out of control. He had to keep his straight face because he didn’t want to look pathetic in front of anyone but his beloved. "We need to protect them. You know Marlon and Sarah’s men are lurking around. They sent that recording, so Kate and I will be separated. It’ll be easier to attack her when she’s unprotected."

"You can punch me later, Michael. But we need to escort them to safety. That’s our priority."

Michael still had a lot to say.

But he knew that Henry was right. Thus, they waited until the VIP elevator went up again and used it to go down to the basement parking lot.
