"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
Henry fumbled yet agreed with the answer; Monique had previously mentioned that she was being forced to stay beside him. Henry heard Louise ask again when he was about to leave. "Are you sure?"Henry frowned, his face as though frosted over. He did not expect anything else; he knew what Monique was going to answer after. She had already made herself clear that she disliked him.A very loud 'bang' was heard as Henry entered the car, slamming the door hard. The next second, the car started and sped away.Henry drove aimlessly for more than half an hour and finally came to a halt beside a river.He turned on the music on his car, and it began playing Bandari’s Snowdream. The soothing sound of the piano somehow made Henry even more frustrated.Everything Henry encountered seemed to have memories of Monique.He remembered the time he had to go to RK bar and the driver who was supposed to pick him up broke down, so Mandy ordered for another driver.That was his first time taking a cab
Henry got out of the car and marched into the police station, straight to the police chief's office.The police chief immediately made a call to one of the officers to bring in coffee when he saw Mr. Moore striding into his office."Mr. Moore, what brings you here?" Chief William asked politely.A damp chill spread throughout the atmosphere when Henry stepped foot into the police station. Henry sat down without saying a word, his thin lips tightly sealed in a straight line.His towering silhouette sat in the chair, radiating a chill like the arrival of a grim reaper.Seeing Henry so silent tensed the atmosphere more; William thought that Henry was still dissatisfied about being injured the night before.He forced a smile, but his knees were shaking. "We've interrogated the criminal from last night and we learned that they were just drunk and up to no good when they saw the gorgeous Miss Graham. No one else was involved and the perps were sent to court. They will be sure to get a
'Bring me to him?'William was dumbfounded to hear Henry's words.'Who does Henry want to meet? The kindergarten teacher?'William recovered and replied with a smile. "I'll go get him now." William thought that Henry should have just told him that he wanted to meet someone, instead of making William all petrified and think that something terrible had happened.'However, what was his relationship to Mr. Moore? Mr. Moore even personally showed up to meet him, with an expression as though he was about to murder someone.'William made a call, "Bring in the guy named Simon Leeds."William learned about Simon as his underlings told him that it was Henry's order to capture Simon.Before William could hang up, Henry coldly said, "Bringing me there will do!"The call was still connected as William ordered. "Get him ready; we're heading over."A few minutes after the call disconnected, a police officer came to lead them the way to Simon. Henry stopped William, who had planned to follow,
A sneer curled Henry’s mouth. "I would like to see how you're going to beat me up. You can’t beat me in a fight, and you're in prison now; how exactly are you going to challenge me?"Simon frowned, realizing he was in a dire situation and could not protect Monique. That kindergarten was built solely for Monique, and if he could not even maintain it…"How's Monique? Is she alright?" Simon composed himself."Who are you to be concerned for her?" Henry snarled. "Her paramour?"Simon was stunned. 'What do you mean by paramour?''There's nothing between us. Did Henry misunderstand something?'Simon thought back to the time when Monique was so devastated that she started crying so badly, and now she was missing. Simon was confused as to whether the man standing before him was sincerely treating Monique well or not."Don't insult Monique. She's a good woman."Suddenly, Henry's handphone rang; it was William, "Mr. Moore, Miss Xander is at the station and wants to meet Simon. Should I l
"You two make a great couple!" Henry’s rage grew; he took big steps and headed out.Monique knew Simon would be doomed if Henry just walked away.Facing Henry's back, Monique shouted, "What do you want me to do so that you’ll let him go? Those pictures were taken by someone with ulterior intentions. Nothing is going on between me and Simon."Henry came to a halt."When I brought Angel to register at the kindergarten, I had no idea that it was Simon's. I only found out when later, and that was the day when Angel got into a fight with another kid. The teacher called me over to resolve the issue, but I ended up getting into an argument with the kid's parents. Simon helped, and to repay him, I invited him to a meal." Monique choked up, wondering whether Henry would believe it.Monique thought she had to give it a shot; Simon was innocent. She could not get him involved in her mess."I went through the pictures this morning. I don't know who did this, but the angle that they used to t
All Henry wanted was for Simon to not go near Angel anymore.Henry nodded to William, turned around, and left.Monique was relieved; all she needed to do was to persuade Simon to leave the city so that he would not need to be imprisoned.William made an arrangement and had an officer escort Monique to meet with Simon.Monique sat in front of the glass window with her face pale and scrawny from her being ill for the past two days.Simon was brought out by a police officer. Excitement glinted in Simon's eyes when he saw Monique as they picked up the phone in the reception room. "Monique, are you alright?!"Monique felt sorry at the sight of the skinny Simon. It was all because of her that Simon ended up in such a state; his clothes were soiled and his hair was matted. He had not had a chance to clean himself.‘Simon used to be a man who always paid attention to his hygiene.'"I'm sorry!" sobbed Monique, her eyes red.Everything started because of Monique."Silly, why are you ap
