Semua Bab Unfulfilled Last Wish: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Whitney sat and glared coldly at Tina.Tina's face had been an eyesore to her the first they met—she looked too much like that woman!On the other hand, Tina stood motionless, forced to stay silent despite being keen on maintaining her innocence.Among the members of the Barnes family, Whitney despised her the most—it was pointless to reason with her.Tina had expected Henry to at least give her a chance to defend herself too and did not think that he believed Linda and Rory's word at face value, denying her even that.She pursed her lips, fighting back the sense of helplessness inside.There really was nothing she could do against an opponent with so much support.That was when Irene snapped, "My mom told you to kneel!"Glee showed in her eyes, as she despised Tina too.Her mother had been telling her to win over her grandmother when she returned to this manor with her mother. And yet, her grandmother never liked her, instead favoring Tina and siding with her on every occas

Taking the phone and watching the footage, Madam Barnes' gaze soon darkened.Then, she looked up and snapped, "Kneel!"Irene had been keeping her head down panicking ever since Tina claimed that she had proof, even ready to apologize.Nonetheless, her eyes lit up at Madam Barnes' sudden outburst, straightening herself confidently once more.She knew it—Tina never had proof, and she had almost believed it for a second!When Rory ran toward Tina, she was standing at the opposite side of the pond and saw everything!Irene was the only one there beside them too, so as long as she insisted it was Tina, Tina would never be able to maintain her innocence!Then, seeing that Tina was still standing there, she glowered and snapped, "Tina Smith! You heard Grandma—kneel!"She even grabbed Tina's arm to make her kneel, only for Madam Barnes to bellow at her, "I'm talking about you!""Me?!" Irene exclaimed in shock but promptly dropped to her knees with a thud when she saw Madam Barnes' f

Even if Madam Barnes did not tell Linda to leave, her words could well be a slap to Linda's face, utterly humiliating her.Indeed, all the pride Linda felt after Whitney and Irene fawned over her had vaporized.Even Henry was silent when he turned toward her, and she knew that Madam Barnes was the one family member that Henry cared for the most.And when she turned toward Whitney, the woman was scowling, not even looking at her.Clenching her hand so hard her nails dug into her palm, her smile faded even as she forced herself to stay polite. "I'll be leaving now, Madam Barnes.""I'll take you and Rory home." Henry stood up as well."Stop!" Madam Barnes snapped and suddenly started coughing violently.Henry's face dropped as he turned, hurrying to Madam Barnes with a look of worry. "Grandma!"Tina's face dropped too as she clapped Madam Barnes on the back while turning to Sam. "Get Dr. Sandler!"Even Whitney hurried to her as well. "Mom…"That was when Tina felt Madam Barnes t

Henry's large hand pulled her by the waist so that their bodies were pressing together intimately, and he bit her lip punishingly.His breath scalded as his fingers caressed her hip, rasping as he felt her shuddering in his arms, "You're teasing me on purpose, aren't you?"Tina pressed her hands feebly against his chest as his masculine hormones shrouded her, distancing herself while retorting stubbornly, "No."She struggled to get off her, pulling his hand off, only for him to pull her down again, this time making her straddle him.Tina could even feel her earlobes burning, whether it was his breath or something else…"No?" Henry leveled his dark gaze at her scarlet earlobes—she always was sensitive, and they were also bewitchingly red like a blossoming flower, luring one to pluck it.Gulping, Henry held the back of her head and kissed her, and she could not stop him tearing through her teeth, pressing in invasively.She wanted to get away, but he held her waist and nape, force

Tina stiffened at the mention of Sophie.Seeing that she was silent, he growled in warning, "Quit your antics already."Tina's gaze darkened—he was telling her not to say that Sophie was dead whenever he mentioned her.However, she never planned to mention Sophie at all, as she was concerned for Madam Barnes.Madam Barnes had doted on Sophie before falling to a coma—could she really take the news of Sophie's death?It was a bet she refused to take.Still, before she could speak, an elderly voice asked from the stairs, "What was that? Bring who to dinner?"Tina panicked but mustered herself and fought back her misery, smiling as she walked up. "No, Grandma. I—"Before she could even change the subject, Henry stared straight at Tina as he said, "Sophie."He refused to let her win—not when she had hidden Sophie for so long.Tina glared at him where Madam Barnes could not see but soon turned to her. "Sophie is—""Who's Sophie?" Madam Barnes asked, cutting her short.She was fro
