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
"This is not something that she can decide!" Henry wanted to say that as a reply, but then he thought back to how Monique was willing to sacrifice herself to rescue Angel. If he were to take away her custody over Angel, would Monique end up committing suicide?Thinking about it darkened Henry's expression. He shifted his gaze. "We'll talk about it again!" said Henry, emotionless.Stella was dumbfounded, as was Logan!This was completely different from the usual Mr. Moore, who made decisions without any hesitation. "She has to agree, even if she has no choice?"Henry was frustrated; he ordered both Logan and Stella to head out and look for Mandy to get some information on Monique and Angel to have a better understanding of them.Logan had tons of questions to ask, but he dropped the idea after he saw Henry’s cold eyes.Logan dragged Stella out of the office. Stella could also sense that Henry was not being his usual self. Even though she did not properly clarify, Stella could some
"How did they get to know each other?" asked Logan, like an audience in a movie theatre. He smirked, looking curious.Mandy shook her head, then nodded.Mandy was unsure whether the time when Monique came to the company to deliver coffee was her first encounter with Henry because Henry seemed shocked when he saw Monique, who spilled coffee, as though Henry had met Monique previously.Mandy initially thought Monique coming to the company to deliver coffee was her first time meeting Henry, but later on, she felt that the expression that both Henry and Monique had was telling her that they had met way before that incident.Also, Henry had officially acknowledged Angel as his daughter.Angel was already five years old, so could they have known each other for that long?"So, do you know or not?" Stella anxiously asked, seeing Mandy nodding for a second, then shaking it in the next second.Stella was way more curious about the relationship between Monique and Henry than Logan was. 'Ho
Stella glanced at Logan with disdain as she said arrogantly, "You can't figure out what's going on? Henry already mentioned that Angel relies a lot on her mother, and that woman must have used it to her advantage to threaten Henry."Stella then started flipping through the information. As she read, she became more convinced at her hypothesis.Logan started reading through the documents as well. When he flipped through, he saw that there was a small photo attached to it and he somehow felt the lady in the photo looked rather familiar. 'This woman, where have I met her before?'Logan and Stella left the reception room while Henry sunk in his leather sofa for quite some time.Every day, Henry would sit on the comfortable leather sofa. However, that day, Henry did not felt the same ever since he imagined that Monique might commit suicide if he were to force Angel away from her.Monique's love for Angel was indescribable. She would sacrifice her life just for Angel.Henry remembered w
