He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 409

Chapter 409: Chapter 409

Kate and Mai entered Kate’s new car that he bought a week ago, though it was rarely used since Kate spent most of her time in the penthouse anyway.

"Maybe we should just use Taxi," Kate said with a frown. "I don’t want to use a car he bought me."

"But you earned this yourself," Mai said. "Just from all the ten top authors you contracted, Empress Publishing has earned a total investment of ten million dollars in just a month from other investors not named Vernon Phoenix Gray. You have done so much for him."

"Only for him to fool me like this," Kate sighed. "I was such an idiot."

"Oh, don’t say that, Kate..." Mai sighed. She helped Kate to put on the seatbelt before putting one for herself. She turned on the engine, ready to leave, "You’re a brave woman who fights for what you want. You sacrificed many things for that scum, whether he appreciates it or not, then it’s his choice in the end."

Kate smiled bitterly.

She knew Mai simply wanted her to feel better, but it didn’t make her feel better.

It only made her feel even more shitty, knowing that she had sacrificed so much only for Henry to betray her like this.

While talking about Henry, the villain came out of the elevator with Michael behind him. His eyes darted at Kate’s car, and he seemed to have a relieved sigh.

He was scared that Kate would just dash out without waiting for him. He would be worried sick knowing that Kate escaped his sight.

He rushed towards Kate and knocked on the window, so Kate rolled it down and stared at her man with reluctance.

Kate didn’t understand why she still claimed him as her man, but it was just the right thing in her heart.

Besides, she would never fall in love anymore after this...

"Where do you want to go? Michael and I will follow you from behind," Henry asked gently.

...

Kate wanted to go to Dahlia’s mansion in Michigan. But it was too far, "I’ll find a hotel," Kate replied.

Henry shook his head, "The hotel is too dangerous. I would have to book all the rooms around yours, and it might be impossible."

"You’re exaggerating. Nothing is going to happen to me," Kate said. "YOU are the biggest threat I have to face, Henry."

Henry’s lips thinned, but he didn’t argue, "Please listen to me, Katherine. Sarah and Marlon are far more heinous and scheming than you’d expect. We can’t let our guard down."

Kate wanted to argue again, but Henry wasn’t in the mood to fight her. He looked somewhat complacent and empty.

So she refrained and grabbed her phone.

She called someone while staring at Henry, and the call was connected not long after.

Kate also put it on speaker so Henry knew about the woman she called.

—

"Hi, Kate! What’s up?"

"Chloe, can I stay in your house?" Kate asked straight to the point.

Henry was shocked because Kate called Chloe, and he felt ashamed knowing that Vernon would also find out about Henry’s heinous initial plan.

"Eh? Hah? What’s wrong?" Chloe asked. She was surprised because she knew that Kate wouldn’t leave Henry’s side unless it were really urgent. "Did something happen between you and Henry?"

"Oh, a lot happened, alright," Kate chuckled. "I will tell you once I meet you. But please, I need a place to stay for the night."

"Oh no..." Chloe sensed that something big had happened. "Alright, I will send you my location. You can come in here and stay as long as you want. My door is always open for you, Kate."

"Thank you. I owe you a lot..."

"But you must tell me what happened. This sounds serious."

"I will."

Beep.

—

"You heard it from her. I’ll stay with Chloe and Vernon for a while," Kate told Henry. She smirked, wanting to insult him even more, "But what should I do, Henry? She wants to know what happened, and I’m sure Chloe will tell her husband about it. What would you do if Vernon knew how scummy you are?"

"I will accept whatever punishment or judgment. I will accept anything," Henry said calmly. "I just want you and the baby to be safe."

Kate’s smirk faltered instantly.

She hated that Henry didn’t seem to be affected by her taunt. She wanted Henry to cry and beg even more, but he didn’t give her what she wanted.

"Just do whatever you want, Henry. You’re a stranger to me now. We’re done," Kate said before she rolled the window up and looked away, ignoring Henry, who looked so hurt by what she said just now.

Mai noticed that Henry looked hurt, and she somehow sympathized a bit. After all, Kate was really harsh with her words.

"Don’t sympathize, Mai," Kate said coldly. "He fooled me for almost a year with his fake affection."

"But he looks real, Kate..." Mai said. "What if he truly regrets everything?"

"That’s what he did to me. He was so good at acting that I fell for all of his tricks," Kate insisted. "So stop worrying about him and drive away from this wretched place."

Ding!

Chloe sent the location of her mansion, and Kate used the GPS to go there, "Let’s go, Mai."

Mai nodded and drove out of the basement parking lot.

Michael and Henry tailed Kate’s car. Michael drove in silence, glancing at Henry a few times, who was in a daze.

He began to feel bad for his best friend since Henry looked so powerless right now.

Of course, Michael was also hurt. His relationship with Mai had progressed a lot, but because of this, he doubted Mai would want him anymore.

He’d be lucky if she didn’t detest him.

But Henry...

Kate’s departure truly left a huge hole in his heart. He looked so lost and empty.

"Henry, are you sure you want to follow her?" Michael asked. "I don’t think you can handle another humiliation from Kate in front of Chloe and Vernon."
