Chapter 93

Author: Angelica1
Linda sobbed softly as she told Henry about all the torment she had gone through in that basement, every word undoubtedly invoking Henry's rage.

As she continued, she could clearly feel the air around him turning cold.

Eventually, Linda buried her face against his chest, her lips curled up in glee.

She did say she would get back at Tina when she got out anyway.

-

Tina was not sleeping at Henry's house in Barnes Ranch for the night, instead sleeping in her own room in Madam Barnes' house.

She had a fright, so Madam Barnes had her servants make her soup to calm her nerves and bring some scented candles with a soothing aroma to her room.

Tina thought it might work, only for her to see the basement whenever she closed her eyes.

Unable to sleep, she took out her sleeping pills from her bag, tossing and turning for a while before eventually dozing off.

However, when she almost fell asleep, she was lifted firmly off the bed as Henry's chilling tone rang overhead. "How could you sleep

    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

    "Yes, it's ready," Yancy said. "Do I send it now?""Yeah," Henry replied.He had personally arranged for everything Mrs. Smith could possibly need, as he wanted very much to make amends.At the same time, he was fulfilling the promise he made when he was ten—to repay Mama Orange's grace.Now that he realized she was alive, he wanted to give her all that was good in the world, so that she would not have anything to worry about for the rest of her life.As they left prison, Andy took a cab.He arranged for all the presents prepared to be delivered to Tina's apartment, while Henry drove straight to the hospital on his own.-Linda was watching as Henry drove off and promptly alighted.She was never one to sit back and wait to die.The first thing she must do now was to determine if Zach had given Henry the evidence and decide what to do from there.If Zach had, then she just had to come up with another plan.Otherwise, she would never let Henry get his hands on the evidence ag

    It was Henry's car.He really came, and he arrived earlier than she did.At that moment, Linda felt a chill creeping up from her toes, extending throughout her body.She was terrified at the idea that Zach would really give Henry the evidence.Without evidence, she could just stubbornly deny anything that Tina accused her of doing, and even Henry could not do anything about that.That meant she would still have a chance to use Rory and turn things around, reclaiming her life of privilege.On the other hand, it would be all over for her if Henry really received the evidence.-Meanwhile, Henry was watching Zach with his dark eyes that seemed to pierce his heart, while speaking quietly, "I'm a man of my word, Zach Foster. That little bit of money is really nothing to me."There was no doubt that his offer was very tempting—right now, all Zach wanted was for his daughter to be healthy.Once he served his term and was freed again, he could spend the rest of his life with her, tak

    That was why Zach presumed that Henry would keep granting Rory the same life of privilege he gave her before, not knowing what Henry really meant.After all, sending Rory to the worst boarding school, ensuring that she would not starve to death but otherwise completely neglecting her until Zach left prison, could still count as taking care of her.Doing that much, and getting Zach's evidence in exchange, was assuredly a bargain.Still, Zach's eyes widened, his pupils dilating as Henry mentioned Linda hiring someone for murder.His reaction only made Henry even more certain that he had evidence.Nonetheless, Zach only pursed his lips, not acknowledging right away that he had evidence, and did not take Henry's deal.He lowered his gaze, silently thinking.Since he was behind bars, he had no idea what was going on out there.But judging from the fact that Henry came asking, he must have seen through Linda's true nature and would never believe a word she said ever again.And that

    But when Zach returned to Linda's hospital room later, he suddenly claimed that there was never evidence—that Tina had bribed him to slander Linda in the first place.Henry found that very suspicious—why would he suddenly change his mind?Then, he remembered that when he caught Linda with Zach the first time, Linda accused Zach of forcing himself on her.Zach denied it and even exposed Linda for abusing Rory to take Rory away from Linda.He had been crying and begging to separate Rory from Linda, or Linda would keep abusing Rory.Henry saw in his eyes then that he really loved Rory.After he left Tina's apartment earlier today, Henry started to reevaluate all the moments in the past that involve Linda.He knew that Zach had lost all hope in Linda and exposed her to take Rory away.That meant Rory would also be the reason he suddenly changed his mind, even allowing himself to be scapegoated for Linda's crimes.That meant Rory was Zach's weakness.So Henry decided to visit him—

    Even if Henry heard Rory, she could cry herself hoarse but he would not change his mind.Meanwhile, the security guards kept Linda toward Rory, who had long since lost her shoes, while her socks were torn as they scraped along the ground.The fake nails that she had gone through lengths to maintain were chipped, while one of her nails was knocked off.She grimaced, turning pale in terrible pain.When she finally recovered enough to talk, the security guards dumped her like trash beside Rory, along with her wheelchair."Stay as far away as you can. If you show up here again, we won't be gentle!"With those words, the security guards left.Rory was sobbing as she dropped to her knees beside Linda, fumbling to help her off the ground.Seeing the marks left around her neck and her bleeding legs, her tears poured with heartache. "Does it hurt, Mommy? I'll blow on it, and it won't hurt anymore…"As Linda straightened her back, she completely ignored Rory's concern and slapped her ac
