He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 411

Chapter 411: Chapter 411

"WHAT?!" Vernon’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe what he heard just now. "How could you do that? You worked hard for it. You deserve to succeed with that new company of yours!"

Henry showed a self-deprecating smile and replied, "Because I see no point in working on it anymore. I begged for your help to get a head start to give Kate a comfortable life. I want to guarantee her security too. That’s why I want to be fully independent from Marlon."

"But she hates me now. She wants me to suffer for the rest of my life. She doesn’t even want to see my face," Henry said. "What’s the point of me working my bones off when I’ve been abandoned?"

Vernon saw the deep sadness in Henry’s eyes, something that he never saw coming from his cousin.

Henry was always lively, reckless, and somewhat of a daredevil. Yet when his beloved left him, he lost his vigor instantly.

And Vernon understood that feeling of defeat because his love life with Chloe wasn’t as smooth sailing as what people thought. He also had that moment when he felt he had lost everything after Chloe left.

Vernon took a deep breath. He tried to maintain his calm as he didn’t want his cousin to go on a dark and destructive path after this, "Then what are you going to do next after you transfer your company to me?"

"I don’t know," Henry replied. "Kate told me to live and suffer. So, I’ll probably spend the rest of my life in seclusion or as a homeless. I don’t really care."

"That’s pathetic, you know that, right?" Vernon warned him. He just couldn’t accept that his cousin would give up so easily.

"But I am pathetic. I lost everything, Vernon..."

Vernon gritted his teeth. He finally lost his patience and stood up in front of Henry. He grabbed Henry’s collar and pulled him up, "PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, HENRY GRANT!"

Henry was dazed when he saw his cousin’s glare and yelled at him. He kept his silence and allowed Vernon to yell at him even more.

"Why are you giving up on everything just because Kate is mad at you? Will you do the same in the future if you have a fight with her again? Man up, Henry!"

"My mistake is irredeemable..." Henry finally replied. "There is no way I can convince her to accept me again. It’s over."

Vernon gnashed his teeth out of frustration, "Listen to me, Henry Grant. There is no such thing as ’over’ when you’re chasing for your true love. Falling in love has never been easy, and you must sacrifice many things to be with the one you desire."

"Now tell me, cousin. Do you love Katherine or not?" Vernon asked.

Henry nodded without hesitation. His heart never changed. Even in such a depressing situation, he still loved her with every fiber in his body.

"I love her. I love her so much that I would die for her," Henry replied. "I told her that I’m willing to kill myself if that would grant me her forgiveness."

"Heh, I doubt that," Vernon sneered. "I don’t think you love her that much."

Henry’s eyes widened, his blood boiling instantly because he felt that his love for Kate had been challenged, "Listen, Vernon, I see you as my second brother and respect you for all of your achievements. BUT DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE TO QUESTION MY LOVE FOR HER! I WILL GO THROUGH HELL AND BACK FOR KATHERINE!"

Henry’s voice echoed around the house. There was no way Kate wouldn’t hear Henry’s voice just now.

But that was what Vernon wanted.

He wanted to stimulate Henry enough so that he would snap out of his hopelessness.

"And what are you doing right now? Exactly, nothing! You want to give up immediately after knowing that Kate would leave you," Vernon said. "You want to abandon everything and drift away like an idiot while Katherine might fall into another man’s hand in the future if you let her go."

Vernon remembered how he had to let go of Chloe because she married his brother, Vincent.

He had to spend a decade knowing that his loved one was out of his reach, and he spent all those years as a complete mess.

He was still successful, but it was a suffering he didn’t want to repeat, and he didn’t want his cousin to experience the same thing.

"Don’t do this to yourself, Henry. I know how seeing your beloved fall into another man’s arms feels. Our brains are wired similarly, and I know you will never accept the idea of Kate loving another man after you," Vernon said. He finally let go of Henry’s collar and sat on the chair.

Vernon took a deep breath and closed his eyes to calm down, "I am disappointed, Henry. I didn’t know you could be this weak just because of this problem."

Henry slumped on the sofa, stared at the ceiling, and his eyes began to pool with tears.

But he quickly wiped it because he didn’t want to cry in front of anyone but Kate.

"I don’t want to give up as well, but Kate’s words really hurt me," Henry murmured. "They hurt so much that I lost all of my confidence after she kept telling me many cruel things."

"She is feeling betrayed, Henry. That recording is so vile, I’d kick you out of my house if I didn’t know about your seriousness towards her," Vernon said. "Her reaction is very human, and now that she is pregnant, she would become overprotective of her baby."

Henry was also angry at himself for speaking such vile things about Kate in the recording as well. If he could turn back time, he would just chase Kate without having to appease his father and Sarah.

But reality was so cruel to him.

The woman he thought was a heartless slut turned out to be the most amazing woman he ever met in life.
