He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 426

Chapter 426: Chapter 426

"We can talk about that later. Now, go to your room and rest. Your Mommy is right, this is an adult talk," Kate said calmly, and the little girl was finally appeased.

Mackie looked up to her Mommy and apologized, "I’m sorry, Mommy. I’m just scared..."

Chloe took a deep breath to calm herself, "It’s okay, dear. I’m sorry for yelling at you too. Let’s go to your room."

"Un..."

Chloe sent Mackie to her room and called a few maids to take care of Mackie. She also checked on Valerie, who was still with her Nanny.

After making sure the baby was also doing fine, she finally returned to the living room with Vernon and Kate.

She sat right next to Kate, who kept her smile, but Chloe knew that Kate must’ve been tearing inside.

"You don’t need to think too much about this, okay? This is not your fault," Chloe tried to pacify Kate.

Vernon had guessed what just happened. He crossed his arms and nodded, "I will tighten the protection around Mackenzie as well. It seems that Marlon and Sarah have made their move to target Mackie now."

Kate stayed silent.

Her mind was in chaos because she truly didn’t expect Erin to return and be on Sarah’s side. Sarah must’ve known about Erin’s whereabouts after spying on Henry for a long time and rescued that spoiled bitch when Kate’s life was in chaos.

’Or could it be that Henry got angry at me for leaving, so he gave Sarah the location where we trapped Erin?’ Kate began to theorize. But she quickly rejected the idea. Henry might’ve betrayed me, but he is not that evil. So this must be Sarah and Marlon who colluded to find Erin and bring her back to haunt me.’

Nevertheless, this also proved one thing;

Kate must leave no matter what after she gives birth. Erin could easily lie to a little girl, slandering Kate and making up stories that Kate and Vernon were cheating. Imagine what would happen next.

Maybe she would keep targeting Chloe and Mackie until they were too traumatized to leave the house, and Kate didn’t want that to happen.

Chloe and Vernon glanced at each other, and they seemed to have the same idea in mind.

Vernon cleared his throat and said, "This is my first time hearing about this woman named Erin. Is she really your sister?"

"Yes, she was my sister. But I cut contact with her because she slept with my ex-husband," Kate replied. "She is a spoiled girl and a narcissist. She can’t take no as an answer, and after I had enough, I just kicked her out."

’In the middle of a frozen wasteland,’ she added in her heart.

"And she is out here for revenge, huh?" Vernon hummed. "She’s siding with Sarah, so that means we have Marlon, Sarah, Graham, and Erin. This will be quite troublesome."

Chloe patted her husband’s thigh to warn him not to babble about stuff like that because she knew that Kate was sensitive about this problem, but Vernon didn’t seem to catch it.

Kate smiled and nodded, "I understand. There are too many people who want me dead. That’s why I said I will leave after I give birth."

"W—Wait, that’s not what I mean!" Vernon panicked. "I’m just thinking of a way to take them down. Since there are many of them, I need a thorough plan, which means I will have to discuss this with Henry."

Kate sighed, "Thank you so much for your help, Vernon. But I know that I’ve become a danger magnet. This is just the beginning. Erin will get crazier as time goes on."

"This is just a minor threat for me," Vernon said.

Kate shook her head, "It’s definitely not a minor threat, and I don’t want Mackie to be a victim because of this. It shouldn’t be long until I give birth."

Kate knew the more time she spent with Chloe and Vernon, the harder they tried to persuade her to stay.

So she got up, grabbed her iPad and the Teddy Mackie bought for her, and returned to her room.

Chloe and Vernon looked at each other, and he said, "I need to tell Henry about all this. I’ll also send a female bodyguard to assist Meyer. Since he wouldn’t be able to go to the female-only section."

Chloe nodded, "I will check on Valerie and then on Mackie. I think Mackie is still shaken about the whole thing.

Vernon gave Chloe a quick kiss on the lips before letting her go. He grabbed his phone immediately and called Henry.

The call was connected not long after, and Vernon described everything in detail, making sure that Henry knew about the current situation since he had been busy in the office.

"I get it. Thanks for informing me, Vernon," Henry said on the phone.

"I need your help to tackle this problem. We have too many people wanting her dead," Vernon said. "But I also want you to calm down. We can’t cooperate without a clear mind."

"I understand," Henry said coldly.

Vernon doubted that Henry actually listened to him. He felt with Henry’s personality, he’d do something stupid again.

But all he could do was trust in his cousin.

"I’ll call you again once I get to find a way to stop them," Vernon said. "Don’t worry, Kate is safe... as long as she stays in this mansion."

Beep.

—

Henry’s hands trembled as the phone call ended. His eyes were bloodshot as he couldn’t handle his unbridled fury.

He smashed the table until the loud slam shocked Mindy, who still worked at the secretary’s desk outside.

She stormed in to check, "Sir, what just happened—"

Mindy was shocked when she saw Henry, who looked furious, but his eyes were actually pooling with tears.

"S—Sir?"

"Mindy, book me the fastest flight to Los Angeles."

"L—Los Angeles? But why would you—"

"NOW!"

Mindy was too scared to question further. She grabbed her phone and began to find a plane ticket for her boss.
