Chapter 157

[Song Recommendation: Merry Go Round - Howl's Moving Castle's OST.]

"Twenty thousand dollars?!" Kate's jaw dropped when Henry mentioned that number casually. "Did you just send twenty thousand to that bitch last night?!"

"H—Hey, calm down," Henry tried to take control of the situation before Kate misinterpreted his action. He didn't want to fight with her, especially not during their supposed date. "She called me last night, demanding that I go to her room for, you know—sex. I don't want to cater to anything she says, so I shut her up with money."

"So you sent her twenty thousand?"

"Well, yeah," Henry admitted. "And it works. At least we will have a peaceful date, right?"

Kate sighed.

Of course, she couldn't blame Henry here. He must be frustrated with her withholding his reward and Erin for being her bitchy self.
