Semua Bab Unfulfilled Last Wish: Bab 11 - Bab 20

But without Henry holding her up, Tina's knees buckled and almost fell.By the time she steadied herself, Jimmy was already losing.Scrambling over, she stopped Henry from hitting Jimmy further, but Henry only stared daggers at her as he spat, "Get off!"Tina refused, but the fact that she was defending Jimmy only left Henry's glare colder.Grabbing Tina by the arm without a word, he shoved her aside, just as a breeze blew in and shut the door of the second bedroom with a bang.Henry naturally did not notice as he strode toward Jimmy.Jimmy was glowering just like him as he tried to stifle his burning chest and saw that Tina had lost her balance and fallen after Henry pushed her."Tina!"His eyes widened, he wanted to rush over to her side, but Henry grabbed his outstretched hand before he could reach her.At the same time, he kicked Jimmy viciously on the shin.As Jimmy's knee buckled, he dropped to one knee.Henry, still holding his hand, started to pull it backward, ready

At that very moment, Tina could see herself reflected in Henry's eyes.She mustered her courage and walked over, then stamped her feet on the thugs.However, her feet were still numb and she even fell, unable to inflict any damage."You're really useless." Henry chuckled and did the same to the thug who had reached Tina first, castrating him on the spot.Tina thought her heart could leap out of her chest, as she experienced falling in love for the first time.Henry used to be good to her too, but that could well be a secret now.After all, everything changed after Linda showed up.-Back to the present, Tina shut her eyes to quell her messy emotions.When she opened them again, her gaze was calm.Holding herself steady against the wall to get up despite the difficulty, she limped toward the man, stamping him viciously in the crotch.There was a blood-curdling scream, and the man soon collapsed on the ground limply.She did not fall this time, as a hand wrapped around her wa

Professor Walls actually found the result disappointing too.He admired Tina's talent, just as he was plenty satisfied with her work in this competition.As such, he tried to console her, "It's just one loss, Tina. It doesn't mean much."However, he simply wasn't aware how important this was for Tina—she could barely keep a lid on her emotions as she asked with a quivering voice, "Did my work come up short?""Of course not!" Professor Walls denied it right then."Then what is the reason I lost?!" Tina cried, her voice shrill in agitation.Professor Walls could only sigh in exasperation."Tina, when you're actually in the business, you'll understand that none of us can fight against money. But don't feel dejected—you will always have my vote, and your future is always bright with your talent."Tina had to fight back her tears, as she was reminded of what she had seen earlier—the organizers flocking around Henry and Linda.Her unease was proven true at that very moment!"So, Li

Though Linda's eyes welled up with tears and clearly appeared guilty, Henry scowled.He didn't stop to comfort her, instead growling, "Did you see who was with Sophie?"He was worried that it was a human trafficker—those monsters were really relentless these days."It was a middle-aged woman," Linda replied, her tone uncertain. "She looked like a babysitter, and Sophie was clinging to her happily…""Where did they go?" Henry pressed."There," Linda pointed without hesitation.Henry broke into a run right then—there weren't that many people over there, and he could catch up if he hurried!However, he barely made a few steps when Linda gasped in pain behind her, "Ah!"He promptly paused and turned to see that Linda was hurt—her gown was rolled up just enough to show a gruesome cut on her knee, which was bleeding freely.Henry hurried back to her, helping her up even as she did her best to push herself up.As soon as Linda was on her feet, she pushed Henry while exclaiming anxio

The hall was left abuzz with excitement. Everyone knew Henry had a wife and daughter, as the man was always scandal-free.Since this was the first time he showed intimacy with a woman in public, and considering Linda's gown, everyone wondered if Linda was the rumored Mrs. Barnes."You don't say," someone mused out loud just then. "Looking at them from the back, they looked just like the couple who rented out the whole of Wonderland for their daughter's birthday."Those words reminded Tina the day her darling Sophie was cremated, and her eyes were cold even as she stared at Henry.That was when the emcee announced, "Let's hear a round of applause for Mr. John Levine, CEO of Levine Inc.!"The crowd was once again abuzz at the mention of John Levine's name. The Levine family's legacy had stood for over a century in Jadelight, and John was head of their family in this generation.Amongst all the other prestigious families in the city, he and Henry were the most outstanding indivi
