Angel was holding onto her handphone and giving it a second thought before she decided to call Henry.Henry saw it was a call from Angel. After giving it some thought, he finally picked up the call."Daddy!" Angel said with a soft voice."Hey, have you had your breakfast?" Henry said with his attractive and gentle voice.Angel replied, "Yes, it's delicious!"Henry continued, "Great!"It was a boring conversation over the phone as Angel raised her head and beamed out the window. She asked, "Daddy, why did you go to the company so early in the morning?"Henry straightened himself up and leaned against the sofa. He began to explain, "I've some documents from yesterday that were yet to be dealt with. So I came very early to get it done!""Then how was the incident with uncle Leeds? Was it settled already?" Angel expressed her concern, "Uncle Leeds did not kidnap me, he’s the principal of the kindergarten. I'm the one who asked for his help. Uncle Leeds did not have the intention to
"I don't want to. The kindergarten’s a nice place to study, and Miss Sophia and Miss Christine are good to me." Angel was reluctant to transfer to another kindergarten. She loved being there; the teachers were all kind to her.Henry just faintly agreed. "Then, I'm off to work. Be a good girl at home!""Ok, remember Uncle Leeds!" Angel reminded once again before hanging up the call.Henry hung up, his expression as dark as charcoal. His cold and sharp eyes emanated cold vibes and an aura of bloodlust engulfed his body.The bandage covering his wounds was now soaked in blood; his wounds had opened up when he grasped the sofa.However, he felt no pain as he grabbed a vase and hurtled it to the floor.A loud crash was heard.He made a call to someone, but the latter did not pick up.Again, he called, but the result did not change.He called another number and within a split second, the call went through.Last night, Henry sent Stella back home. She was very pleased and thrilled,
'She thinks I'm only worth 500 bucks?'Last night, Logan was so mad, he fired the security guard that was supposed to be keeping an eye on Louise on the spot.He then went back to the pub and continued drinking till it was almost dawn before he headed back home to sleep.Yet, as soon as he fell asleep, he heard someone persistently knocking on his door.He did not feel like opening the door and did not have the strength to talk. However, the person knocking was being exceptionally persistent.This made Logan exasperated.Stella shouted when she realized that Logan had no intention of opening up. "Bro, if you're not opening the door, I'll get someone to break it open!"Logan was left with no choice. He got out of bed and opened the door."Stella Graham, you’ve got guts. ‘Break my door’!" Logan stood at the doorway, eyes shut."Henry’s asking for you, it seems urgent!" Stella said anxiously. Judging from Henry's cold tone, something might have happened.Logan recovered slightly
Stella quickly headed downstairs after she got all the things she needed."Hurry up." Logan was already waiting for her in the car. As soon as Stella got into the car, Logan slammed on the gas pedal. He sent a message to Henry earlier, but there was no response. 'Looks like he's really mad.'"I'm already going as fast as I can." Stella cautiously put the ointment into her purse.The ointment was a gift from her father, who brought it from overseas. It was very effective for scar removal. Her father knew that she paid a lot of attention to her appearance, so he bought at a very high price for Stella, knowing she might be injured during filming.She only had one bottle, but she was willing to give it to Henry.… On the 23rd floor, the atmosphere in the secretary department was intense. That morning, everyone that went into Henry's office to give their reports were torn to shreds.Logan coincidentally bumped into Mandy, who just got out of the chairman's office.Mandy was wearing
Henry spun around. His handsome face was as dark with rage, frowning. His bottomless eyes were fierce and his tense face muscles seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.Logan was almost certain that he should not make Henry any angrier.Logan had offended Henry in many ways, some ways more serious than what he had done last night, but never he had seen Henry so infuriated.However, it looked like that was the end for him!Logan feared taking another step with the way Henry’s deadly stare was fixed upon him."Come in!" Henry's eyes narrowed, his gaze as cold as an iceberg, sending chills down his spine.Henry's voice was hellish, making Logan feel like he was dealing with a demon in broad daylight.Logan wished not to enter, yet dared not disobey.Rubbing his tense face, Logan forced a charming smile, "Mr. Moore, you were looking for me? My handphone was on silent. The moment I knew that you're looking for me, I rushed over to meet you."Logan knew that the best way to save h
Henry did not say a word as he strode to Logan and sat beside him. The moment Henry sat down, Logan's heart started racing. 'Could you please not sit so close to me?!'Currently, only they were in the office. Logan felt the atmosphere within the office became creepier, giving him goosebumps. He immediately smiled, "Henry, my man, what's so urgent that you summoned us so urgently?"Henry completely ignored Logan, taking his handphone and started scrolling.Stella ran to the secretary department and asked for a first-aid kit from Mandy. After retrieving the kit, she quickly marched back to the office.Stella sat beside Henry, panting and still vaguely shaking."I have a five-year-old daughter. Her name's Angel Xander!" Henry said soothingly, with a tone not as cold as before. He handed Logan his handphone."What did you just say?" Logan thought he was still dreaming, determined that he had misheard.Stella suddenly grasped the first-aid kit tightly. Her body stiffened, as though f
That meant that, so long as Stella succeeded in taking over the role of Angel's mother, she would then have a shot at marrying Henry.Stella recovered, as though her soul had returned to her body.Stella was willing to do anything for Henry, as long as he was willing to marry her; she would gladly look after Henry's daughter. Henry faintly nodded, implying that he agreed to Stella's statement."No way!" Logan rejected the opinion. "Stella is still a young woman. I know that she likes you, but to suddenly make her into a child's mother--a single parent--what would people think? How will she live her life if that happens?""Got it!" Henry said darkly.Henry had never thought it through with Stella. He only knew that Stella was a very kind woman who had always had a crush on him. Henry deemed Stella to be the best candidate as Angel's mother.If Stella did not want to take the offer, then Henry had no choice but to look for another candidate."I want it! I can be a good mother to
Henry continued coldly staring at Logan, making Logan fumble. To save himself, Logan swore, "I really don't know Monique. I meant her!"Henry shifted his cold eyes away from Logan, seeing him swear so sincerely. Stella was dumbfounded. 'Can anyone tell me what's going on? Why the need to swear when you just have to admit whether you know her or not.'Logan let out a sigh of relief when Henry removed his cold gaze from him. It was new to Logan to see Henry glaring at him because of a woman."About Monique… I meant your daughter's mother. What did she say? Will she stay?" Logan cautiously asked.Logan knew nothing about Monique. He did not know who she was, what her career was, or why a kid suddenly appeared with Henry. Was there a scheme behind all this?Monique Xander!Logan scanned through his memories, but could not recall any affluent Xander family in B City.It looked like Mr. Moore was giving her special treatment!Henry said that they would not get married, but that did
