Chapter 548

Author: Angelica1
Even after the elevator doors closed, Tina did not snap at Jimmy.

Having known each other for years, they were also the ones who knew each other best—so Tina could tell that Jimmy thought it would be a real waste to not accept those gifts.

Moreover, Tina had to stay with Henry for five years without being given anything, and he kept hurting her through it all.

Jimmy had always felt indignant for her, and that Henry could give her all his fortune for that.

"Never waste money." Jimmy grinned as he passed the deeds to Tina.

She took everything—she was not about to reject everything anyway.

As Jimmy had put it, there was no reason to refuse money given freely.

Still, Mrs. Smith felt a little worried and whispered to John, "Please don't misunderstand. Tina is only accepting the gifts—she isn't planning to forgive Henry."

John smiled, shaking his head. "It's alright. Tina deserves all those things in the first place."

Relieved, Mrs. Smith headed inside the apartment with John, when

    In the villa, Henry was looking outside the gates, and he could see that Rory was really sick—very seriously at that.That was why they should have gone to the hospital instead of coming here.Earlier, when he got a call from Andy reporting that Linda and Rory had visited Zach in prison after they left, he quickly went there again to see Zach.And this time, Zach refused to see Henry no matter what he offered, and Henry immediately knew that Linda had once again persuaded Zach to take her side, using Rory as a bargaining chip.Even now, as the mother and daughter pair were tearfully begging outside the villa gates, it was all just an act in Henry's eyes.He knew very well why they had done it too—they were convinced he still cared about Rory and wanted him to change his mind about her.Henry's lips curled up into a cold smile at the thought.This time, he would not even answer them.It's not as if he could not tell that Rory would really die if this went on, but what did her fa

    Linda snapped right then, "Get back in there."Left terrified by Linda's threatening glare, Rory promptly returned under the cold shower. "Mom, it's very cold… I can't take it…" Rory gasped even as she hugged herself, but that effort did not keep her warm.On top of that, her cuts and bruises were swelling under the rushing cold water, and her face turned pale while her lips were grey.But Linda completely ignored it—she was panicking after seeing how cold Henry was toward her today.There really was no room for error now—this was her final chance.While some minor illness would not get Henry to budge, he might care if Rory got really sick.And if Henry cared, she won.That was why she did not care how much Rory suffered—all Linda wanted was to succeed.It was only when Rory's face turned ashen gray and was almost frozen rigid—when she really could not take it anymore—that Linda finally steered her wheelchair over to Rory and turned off the shower.Under such circumstances,

    Rory was devastated. How could Henry bear to let her live in a place like this?Her face paled when her call was cut off, with the notification saying that her number had been blocked.Linda watched coolly as Rory hung up and turned gingerly toward her. "Mommy…"She was absolutely terrified.If Henry had really left her, then Linda would do the same…Still, Linda held Rory's gaze for a while and asked coolly, "Do you still want your daddy to love you?""Yes!" Rory nodded repeatedly—she could not stand living in this rental, let alone the fact that Linda would never smile at her again if Henry was really gone.Kneeling by Linda's feet, Rory looked up at her as she asked, "Mommy, can you tell me what I should do to change Daddy's mind?""What do you think?" Linda asked in return.Rory quickly realized and was a little afraid. "But the doctor said I must never get sick…"The doctor had made it clear to her parents that she must never get sick now, or it would cause an infectio

    However, Mrs. Smith was not turning toward Henry, instead calling out, "Jimmy?"She certainly would not forget about her godson, who was closer to Tina than actual siblings despite not being related by blood."Yes, Mrs. Smith?" Jimmy replied crisply.As he walked past Henry, he stopped and shoved a couple of ten dollar bills into Henry's pocket. "Your fare."Once he did, he skipped toward Mrs. Smith and the others, happily going inside together, leaving Henry alone out in the cold.And he stood there, motionless for a long while.Still, Tina noticed that the hallway was clean and the elevator smelled brand new, though it had been a while since she returned.It was not Jimmy's first time there either, and he exclaimed when he took notice, "Huh. So the management found their conscience?"Tina never answered, as her instincts told her it was Henry.In fact, she was right.Henry knew she would not remain in John's apartment once Mrs. Smith got discharged, and that meant she would

    As Henry stared at Tina in the backseat from the rearview mirror, his heart swelled with bitterness to see that she was not looking at him at all.Nonetheless, he drove steadily to Maple Park.When they arrived downstairs at Tina's apartment, he noticed a towering figure leaning against his car.Seeing Henry's car, John hurried over, while Mrs. Smith was beaming at him.Tina did as she suggested, texting John on the way here.And John promptly drove over—he could just work overtime to deal with any work he had put off.That was simply how important Tina was to him.Opening the back door and helping Mrs. Smith out of the car, he then turned to Henry. "Why, Mr. Barnes—thank you for chauffeuring Tina and Mrs. Smith all the way home."Henry was just getting out of the car and was left glowering at John for firing the first shot.Before he could retort, Mrs. Smith turned and beamed. "Thanks for coming to pick us up, John."She had been affectionate toward Henry like that too, back

    Tina did not even look Henry's way as she held Mrs. Smith's hand and started outside.Henry quickly followed—he was mentally prepared for the silent treatment, but this was important and he had to be here to receive Mrs. Smith when she was getting discharged.He trailed behind the trio, tactfully staying in the furthest corner when they got into the elevator.Mrs. Smith could see his towering reflection from the mirror on the doors and sighed inwardly.Those were mistakes that could never be forgiven, just as Sophie's death was an insurmountable rift between Henry and Tina.When they arrived at the basement and reached Tina's car, she was about to help Mrs. Smith get in when she realized her tires were flat.But why? They were just fine when she arrived….That was when Henry saw it and strode up. "I can send everyone home, Tina.""You're crazy!" Tina snapped at him, scowling as she kicked him.It was only natural that he was her prime suspect for the flat tire!Henry could te

    As long as Zach did not give Henry any proof, Linda's advantage was absolute.As she shot Rory a look, Rory did as she instructed and threatened Zach, "Daddy, if you give Henry the evidence, I'll never forgive you."I love Mommy and don't want anything to happen to her, and I'll die if anything happens to her.""And I'm not kidding, Daddy. Remember, my fate is the same as Mommy's—she gave me life, and I won't live if she's not by my side."Zach's hand was shaking even as he held the telephone receiver.Rory was only seven, but she could talk about death so lightly and threaten him with her own life.Why did she love Linda so much after everything Linda did to her?! How codependent did Linda make her?However, Rory was beyond Zach's reach, and he was really worried she might try to kill herself.As for Henry, it was clear that he did not love Linda anymore, and Rory was ultimately not of his blood.If Henry so much as neglected Rory, she might really die.And Rory was Zach's o

    The warden nodded at Zach. "Yes. Now clean yourself up, and then come with me."The other inmates did not know who Zach had met earlier, but were now all happy for him to hear that his daughter had come.He had been constantly talking about her—how adorable she was, how good her grades were, and he was even calling her name in his sleep.As such, they all knew how much he treasured her and urged him to hurry.Still, Zach meticulously groomed his hair and even washed his face to look clean and spirited, and only then did he follow the warden.Soon, he found both Linda and Rory standing there in the non-contact visit room.By now, any lingering affection he felt for Linda had dissipated after she used him like a tool repeatedly. As it was not visitation hours, only Zach, Linda, and Rory were in there.As soon as she sat down and picked up the telephone, Linda did the same on the other end and promptly asked, "Did Henry come to ask you for evidence? Did you give it to him?"Zach
