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.
