He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 459
Chapter 459: Chapter 459
Sarah glanced at her informant, who worked in the hospital as a janitor, "How’s Kate’s condition right now? Don’t tell me that she is not even hurt."
The informant gulped nervously, "Um... the last time I checked, she was shaken by the incident. She was put in another ward and guarded by so many officers and a man with a military cut. I want to keep watching, but my shift as a janitor only lasts until evening, so I can’t stay for too long or the cops will get suspicious of me."
Sarah got increasingly anxious, feeling that none of her attacks worked. It was always small hindrances here and there that stopped her from achieving her goal.
’At this point, I won’t be able to separate Kate and Henry. I don’t want my dream to get destroyed at this point. I’ve sacrificed too much. I HAVE to be the duchess no matter what!’ Sarah thought.
"Call your friend and update me on Kate right now," Sarah ordered. The janitor quickly called her fellow janitor, who worked on a different shift and then relayed the message to their boss.
"Miss, Katherine has left the hospital. She’s being escorted by an old lady with plenty of bodyguards."
"Dahlia," Sarah gritted her teeth. "That bitch always finds a way to ruin everything. I should’ve helped Marlon to kill her back then."
Sarah’s day was ruined, knowing that Kate probably hid in Vernon’s mansion again, a place she could never reach.
But she believed that Kate would eventually return to that hospital to visit Henry since Henry was still hospitalized after his bloody fight with Erin.
"Keep your eye on Henry, inform me if Katherine comes to check on him," Sarah ordered. She turned around and was about to leave when one of her subordinates asked;
"Miss, what should we do with this corpse?"
"Strip her naked, make sure she has nothing that will implicate us, and then burn her," Sarah replied lightly before she left.
She returned to her car and drove back to her penthouse. The fact that she had lost two important pawns, Marlon and Erin, worsened her mood.
Marlon had been too sickly to do anything. He spent most of his time in his bedroom, lamenting about Dahlia and how they could’ve started anew somehow.
Unfortunately, after what Marlon did to James, Dahlia never wanted anything to do with him anymore.
"Well, I don’t give a damn about them anyway. I killed James because he was too smart. He knew what I wanted, and he was devoted to Kate. His death is justified," Sarah muttered as she opened the penthouse door.
Now, the only way for her to reach Kate was to bait her out of that mansion, probably attacking Henry since Kate would do anything for him.
Sarah’s lips thinned when she realized how devoted Henry was to Kate. He even sacrificed his own safety just to protect Kate and that goddamned baby.
...
Sarah felt a sting in her heart, imagining how Henry was so in love with this one random woman who actually hurt her.
Was she jealous? No, she didn’t really care when Henry fucked those women when he was in university.
In fact, she encouraged Henry to be promiscuous because that meant he was predictable. It was easy to control a man whose urge was so primitive.
But once Kate entered his life, everything spun and flipped upside-down.
The Henry that Sarah knew disappeared, leaving nothing but a shell of a once innocent boy who would blush when he looked at her.
Now, he became a love fool who would do anything as long as he could be with the woman he loved.
Sarah clenched her fists as she couldn’t handle the heartburn. She was jealous, but not for his love.
"I guess I’m just jealous because Kate is one step closer to becoming the Duchess of York. I refuse to bow down to a low-born woman like her. It’s so humiliating!"
Unfortunately, Sarah couldn’t do anything for now, but that didn’t mean she was out of options.
She still had Graham. It should be easier for Graham to inquire about Kate since his movement wasn’t as limited as Sarah’s.
Thus, she called Graham, and the call was connected not long after;
—
"Graham, I—"
"Fuck you, Sarah," Graham suddenly snapped and it shocked Sarah.
"What was that for? Why would you curse at me?"
"Oh, don’t play dumb, you fucker! Did you send someone to attack Kate in the hospital? I will fucking kill you if you do!" Graham yelled. He was like a madman who lost control just because the woman he loved was hurt.
Sarah clenched her phone so tight that her hand trembled. It was so upsetting knowing that these men loved Kate so much. It was also ridiculous because no matter how beautiful Kate could be, there was no way she was THAT attractive to blind these men.
’That bitch must’ve used some kind of charm, or maybe magic? I can’t fucking believe she could seduce James, Henry, and Graham at the same time.’
Sarah knew she would lose an important ally if she reacted badly to Graham’s accusation. So she took a deep breath a few times to calm down before she replied, "I don’t understand why you would suspect me of that, Graham. I have done nothing but care for Katherine."
"Then who the fuck sent someone to attack Kate? It’s only you and I who know about the birth of her son outside of her family."
"It’s Marlon," Sarah threw the blame without thinking twice. Sarah sighed to make herself even more believable, "Believe it or not, I investigated everything myself and got the news from my informant that Henry and Marlon actually staged everything."
"... staged?"
"Yes, Henry told Marlon about Kate’s baby and then staged the attack so Henry would come to save the day. They want Kate to be impressed by Henry, so she would give her baby to Henry and Marlon. After all, it would be more painful to be betrayed by someone you love, right?" Sarah said. "What Marlon wants is to ruin Kate’s life. He is a mad old man."
