He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 461

Chapter 461: Chapter 461

"Parasite..." Klaus sighed. "I know you’re angry at that woman for taking Henry away from you. But it takes two to tango. Maybe they like each other."

Klaus simply disliked Henry because he had seen that man before. Compared to James, Henry was a waste that couldn’t do anything. That Duke title would be wasted on him since he’d use it to sleep with even more women.

After all, Klaus knew that Henry was the son of a lowly street skank. He was very handsome, so handsome, in fact, that he should’ve directed all of his energy to becoming an actor in Hollywood rather than to play around like a wasteful young master.

As a father, Klaus wanted the best for her sweet daughter, so this sounded more like Sarah being jealous because Henry chose another woman.

"Sarah, why don’t you just let him go? He is a good-for-nothing man. He will only hurt your heart in the future," Klaus tried to persuade her daughter.

Unfortunately, Sarah had always been stubborn with what she wanted. Ever since she was a child, she got everything she wanted, and even if she didn’t, she could throw a temper tantrum, and Klaus would give in.

So she did exactly that.

"Just say it if you don’t love me anymore, Dad," Sarah said. "I’m heartbroken because Henry cheated on me. Do you want to break my heart too?"

"That’s not—"Klaus sighed. "Fine, but promise me that you won’t hurt this woman. I don’t want to deal with dangerous problems, okay?"

"Okay, Dad," Sarah giggled. "Don’t worry, I won’t hurt her. I just want her out of Henry’s life."

’By killing her and her goddamn baby, of course,’ Sarah added in her heart. Maliciously plotting about what she should do with all the connections she would get from her father.

Her father might not be as rich as Henry’s family, but Klaus had a lot of connections she could utilize to find and ambush Kate.

She could even go as far as completely disturbing Henry’s new company. As long as Vernon didn’t do much against her, sabotaging Henry’s business was easy.

Klaus hesitated for a second but finally gave in, knowing that Sarah might hate him if he didn’t do what she said, "Just remember that you’re my daughter, Sarah. Don’t bring shame to our family by doing the extreme."

"Oh, you know me, Dad. I’ve always been a good girl, have I not?"

...

"Yeah, I guess so. Once you’re done, don’t forget to return home. I miss you a lot."

"I miss you too, Dad. I will return—"Sarah said. ’As a Duchess, of course.’

Beep.

—

Sarah finally let go of her sweet act. She was annoyed having to use her final trump card. But this was for the best.

"I will do what it takes to become a prestigious Duchess. I will enter that society and live as a super rich, prestigious lady with a handsome husband. Every woman will envy me."

Sarah imagined how all of those women would look at her with envy. That would be her true victory.

"You are my only obstacle, Katherine. So you better be ready because I’m not going to play anymore."

Kate sat in her hotel room, staring emptily at the view from the window.

She picked Maine out of convenience. It was far enough from New York City but not far enough that it was unreachable with a car.

On top of that, Maine had a lot of small towns that should be good as a hiding spot.

"I wonder if Henry is alright now. Maybe he woke up by now," Kate wondered. She checked her phone but saw no text or call from Henry, so he was probably still recovering.

She began to miss her man, wondering how amazing it would be if they could be together again.

’I’m going to regret my decision...’ Kate told herself as she lamented.

But she quickly shook her head, knowing there was no turning back, "You have to stand strong, Katherine. There’s no point in regretting your decision now."

Baby Theo woke up not long after and wriggled around, wanting to be fed again. So Kate began breastfeeding him again while checking her phone.

She had gotten a text from Mai and Michael, asking if she had arrived at the mansion safely. She also got a text from Chloe that she hadn’t read for a while.

So she clicked on it to read;

-

From: Chloe

Vernon is okay. He will use a wheelchair for a few months. But other than that, he is doing fine. I will take care of him.

Don’t blame yourself, Kate. We know it’s not your fault, and we will never stop to protect you.

We are families, and families stick together through thick and thin.

-

Kate’s hand trembled after she read the last sentence.

"Families stick together through thick and thin..." Kate muttered. After that, she bit her lower lip and realized that Henry would probably hate her after she left him like this.

Kate took a few deep breaths to calm down and realized that leaving without any message was too cruel.

Besides, she also wanted to say goodbye to these people who saw her as a family despite how she betrayed them in the end by running away.

Thus, she made a voice memo for each of the people that she saw as a family member;

The first one was Mai and Michael, as she saw them as a couple despite their on-and-off relationship.

-*-

Michael, thank you for protecting me for so long. I know you’ve done your best, so don’t blame yourself for what happened.

But you don’t need to protect me anymore, so please protect Henry and Mai for now. They are the most important people in my heart.

Once again, thank you for everything. I’m sorry I can’t repay you for all the good things you’ve done for me.

I hope you and Mai can reunite. I know you two love each other. Please put aside all the problems between Henry and me. This is not about him or me. This is about you and your loved one.
