"Alright," Henry answered and stood up swiftly.Just as he took one step forward, he stepped on the necklace.His gaze darkened upon recalling everything that just happened.Henry then picked up the necklace swiftly and left the study room.Once he was downstairs, he passed the necklace to the butler. "Throw this away!"The butler was stunned. Although he wasn't able to identify the brand of the necklace, he could still tell it was valuable. The butler wondered why Henry wanted to dispose of a perfectly fine necklace.He didn't understand. Yet, he dared not ask further.Just as he was about to reach out to take the necklace, Juliet, who was sitting on the couch, spoke up. "Henry, don't throw it away. If you don't want the necklace, you could just give it to me."As she spoke, she stood up and walked over to Henry.The butler looked at Henry, hesitating.He wasn't sure whether or not he should dispose of the necklace. Henry stared at the necklace for a brief moment.Then,

Natalie remained seated on the bench with Owen, who was still gravely worried.The doctor took off his surgical mask and calmly explained, "The operation is a success. The patient is currently awake, and her condition is stable. "As for whether there is any damage to her brain, we will need some time to observe her. If there aren't issues with her, we'll arrange for her discharge."The good news finally brought everyone some peace."Thank you so much!" Henry thanked the doctor sincerely."You may visit her in her room." The doctor nodded at everyone before leaving.Owen finally let out a long sigh of relief. "Thank god … I don't know what I would've done—"Natalie quickly interrupted his depressed remarks, "Grandpa, everything is fine! Let's go see Grandma right away.""Alright."On their way to Moira's ward, Owen began to speak about his regrets. "Did you know that I actually wronged Moira in the past, Natalie?"Natalie frowned slightly in confusion.Didn't Owen shower Moi

Natalie's thoughts were interrupted as Henry came up to her side.He scanned her from head to toe, a mixture of unknown emotions reflected in his eyes. "What are you doing in the maternity ward?"Then, he noticed the pink wristband clutched in Natalie's hand. "Whose wristband is this?"Natalie subconsciously tightened her grip on the wristband.Typically speaking, patients had to wear color-coded wristbands so that the medical staff could identify them. There were small written tags with the patients' personal information included on the wristbands.Since Natalie was the patient, her information was recorded on the wristband's tag. On one hand, she was lucky to not have worn it yet. On the other hand, she had to prevent Henry from seeing the tag.Natalie tried her best to answer calmly, "I'm accompanying my friend for her checkup. I'm just holding on to the wristband for her at the moment. What about you? You're the real odd one out in here."Henry stared at her, as if looking f

Henry did not even spare a glance at Natalie.Natalie anxiously wrung her hands together. Henry seemed to be determined to make things difficult for her. "That's enough talking. Start the game," Henry drawled as he exhaled a puff of cigarette smoke.It was as if Natalie didn't even exist to him.However, Natalie was stubborn as well. She smiled as she said, "Mr. Chase, I can wait. We can talk again once you're free."The gentlemen seated around Henry hadn't expected her to be so stubborn.One of the men teased, "Henry, does your wife know you're such a ladies man?"Henry's eyebrow raised slightly at that, and an indecipherable look flashed across his face briefly.However, none of the gentlemen noticed it and continued to tease, "His wife? How could that woman be considered his wife? "Also, so what if she knows that he's a ladies' man? That woman isn't important, so it's not like Henry would care either."The gentlemen never would've expected that the unimportant woman th

Henry knew deep down that Natalie would never be able to find that ring.That was because he had the ring.She was the one who had given up on their marriage, so he wanted her to know the consequences!Natalie was stunned by his request.The staff members from the charity gala never called her back, which meant that they didn't manage to find the ring either. So …"Henry, you were the one who threw the ring away. Why do I have to find it? Where am I even supposed to find it?" Natalie asked impatiently.So this was what he meant when he said he would give her another chance?He was clearly making things difficult for her!Henry ignored the fury in Natalie's eyes and said nonchalantly, "If you had bothered to search for the ring that day, it wouldn't be lost, would it? Have you ever tried looking for it?"There was a faint glimmer of hope underneath the frosty gaze he was shooting her. As long as she said that she had gone to search for it, he could forgive her.All he needed f
