He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 422

Chapter 422: Chapter 422

Sarah hung up the call. Her malevolent smile slowly vanished, leaving the frown of a woman who was already on edge, ready to murder anyone in front of her right now.

She was furious at Marlon for being absolutely-fucking-useless.

"That fucking stupid old man can’t even do anything. He can’t sabotage Henry’s company, and he can’t even kill a pregnant woman!" Sarah yelled.

Erin stared at Sarah, who was venting out her frustration, "So, can I go and kill her now?" Erin asked. She already knew the answer since Sarah looked so scary. But she just wanted to make sure. "I can’t wait to gouge her eyes out."

"I will gouge your eyes if you don’t shut up," Sarah said coldly.

Erin knew her limit already. After being tricked by Kate and thrown into the frozen tundra in Greenland, she realized she needed to be more careful of what she said.

Sarah crossed her arms as she began to fiddle her fingers around the screen. She texted someone and then glanced at Erin, "Do you know what happened?"

Erin shook her head.

"That bitch sister of yours left Henry but is currently hiding in Vernon Phoenix Gray’s mansion. That place is basically impenetrable, and we can’t do anything as long as she’s there."

"That bitch is just a parasite to everyone," Erin complained. "She latched on to Henry like a whore, and then manipulated him to hurt me, a totally innocent woman. She then latched into that old woman you mentioned... uhm... Dahlia. Now, she latched on another billionaire. What a shameless bitch."

Sarah scoffed but said nothing in response, feeling that Erin would eventually come up with something useful with her twisted yet simple mind if she kept her silence.

Erin leaned on the wall and then asked, "Miss, what if you told Vernon Phoenix Gray’s wife that Kate is having an affair with her husband? Surely Kate will get kicked out because of that, right?"

"That won’t work," Sarah rejected the idea. "Vernon has a very specific taste. His story with Chloe is actually quite well known. A mere gossip wouldn’t affect them at all."

"Well, then, do they have a child?"

Sarah turned her head towards Erin. She peered suspiciously, "Yes, they have two daughters. One is from Chloe’s previous marriage, an eight-years-old, and the other is a baby born five months ago."

"Then what if we just kidnap the little girl, like... we can kidnap that child and threaten to kill her if her parents refuse to give up Kate."

As expected, Erin’s idea was reckless and crazy, but it was also interesting because Sarah would never have thought of such a stupid idea before.

Of course, she wouldn’t just kidnap the child out of the blue. Vernon had many people guarding around the girl, so it wouldn’t be easy.

’But I can probably kidnap her during her free time, maybe in the mall,’ Sarah thought. ’I’ll have someone to stalk them first to see the pattern of the little girl’s schedule and kidnap her at the right time. I can use that girl as a useful bidding tool.’

Sarah began to think about Vernon’s influence.

Vernon Phoenix Gray was young, but by no means he was inexperienced. Vernon was only two years older than Henry, but he was probably at the same level as James at this point. They were both very resourceful and influential.

’Well, Henry has never been the best at becoming a shrewd businessman. He uses his heart way too much. He’s too emotional to be a successful businessman,’ Sarah sighed. ’But he will be a Duke. His influence would rival or surpass these business moguls in America.’

’Maybe I should snag this man called Vernon Phoenix Gray instead?’ Sarah considered. ’He is very handsome, though not as breathtaking as Henry.’

But then, she quickly rejected the idea, ’I want to be with Henry because he will be a Duke. I want the noble title. A mere businessman won’t suffice.’

Thus, Sarah grabbed her phone and began to call her informant, ensuring the informant would get all the necessary information about Vernon and Chloe’s daughter.

It had been two weeks since Kate stayed in Vernon’s house. Though she preferred to stay alone, she enjoyed spending time with Chloe’s family.

Mai had already moved out of the Phoenix Apartment and lived in a new apartment not far from the Empress Publishing office building. She had been taking the role of Kate’s stand-in and only called Kate when it was an important decision she needed to handle.

Dahlia visited three times in two weeks, and Kate always accepted her, but no matter how hard Dahlia tried to persuade Kate to stay in contact, Kate wouldn’t budge with her decision.

Meanwhile, Henry tried to visit her a few times, but she always hid in her room and refused to see his face, let alone talk to him.

So Henry could only leave with heartbreak.

"Kate, are you sure you don’t want to meet him at all?" Chloe asked while they had their late noon tea together. "Has the flame been extinguished in your heart?"

"No, I still love him and will forever love him," Kate replied without hesitation, knowing that was the truth. "But I just can’t imagine myself with him anymore. It’s too painful."

"So you’re just going to ignore him for the rest of your life?"

"... maybe there will be a miracle in the future when I forgive him. But for now, I plan to stay single for the rest of my life. I’ve been hurt by too many men in my life, Chloe. I can’t bear it," Kate said weakly.

Chloe sighed.

Chloe had also been hurt by many men in her life, but she understood that people were different. Kate had such a strong pride in herself and had all the requirements to be fully independent.

So none of them could stop her from leaving.

Kate knew her refusal was always the mood-killer in any situation. So she shifted her attention by looking at the clock and said, "I think you should go and pick up Mackie. She just finished her club at this hour, right?"

"Yup, we’re going to the mall after that. Do you need anything from the mall? I can buy it for you."
