He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 476

"Your end will be so painful that you won’t wish to live anymore. So you better run like the rat you are... at least for now," Dahlia shrugged before she resumed acting as the grieving widow at her husband’s funeral.

Sarah rushed back to her car. She was afraid that Dahlia had someone ready to ambush her, so she quickly drove away from the cemetery.

She called Graham as she drove away, and the call was connected shortly after.

—

"What do you want this time, Sarah? You know that I won’t do anything to help you anymore, right?" Graham said on the phone. He sounded bitter because he was still unable to meet with Kate after she gave birth.

Sarah ignored his displeasure and asked, "Do you know that Marlon is dead?"

"Yeah, I know it from my friend who attended the funeral, and what about it?" Graham asked nonchalantly. "Why should I care about that old man who murdered my best friend?"

Sarah gritted her teeth. She was the one who told Graham that Marlon and Penny were the ones planning James’ murder, and Graham ate it up without thinking twice.

She was glad that Graham ate her lies easily, but now she wished that Graham would at least care a bit for Marlon so she would have at least one ally here.

"You should know Marlon’s death means Henry will be the new Master of Grant Estate. He will use his influence to ruin Kate’s life!"

...

Graham knew that was likely the case because now Henry had all the resources to torture Kate.

But at the same time, he had exhausted all his trust in Sarah, feeling that Sarah was lying to him all this time and used him as one of her pawns.

So, rather than trusting her or taking Henry’s side. He preferred to be independent and try to find a way to contact Kate.

"Graham?"

"Just like what I told you before. I can’t trust you, Sarah," Graham said. "You are not the type who would do so much to protect a woman you barely know. I know you want something else, yet you refused to tell me your true intention. So I’m not going to work with you."

Sarah clenched the steering wheel, "Do you know that Kate ran away? I don’t know where she is right now, but she’s not in Vernon’s mansion. My informant told me that she had never returned to Vernon’s mansion after she got discharged."

...

Graham finally listened when Sarah dropped the bomb, much to Sarah’s relief, "I want to find her and protect her, but I still need your help, Graham."

"... thank you for the information, Sarah, but I still won’t work with you," Graham said decisively.

"What?! WHY?!"

"Because I’m afraid you also have a bad intentions towards Kate. So I will find her myself. But thank you for the information."

"YOU—!"

Beep.

—

Sarah stopped her car abruptly. She threw her phone and screamed like a madwoman as she cursed Graham.

"You ungrateful prick! I helped you so many times, and this is what you do to me?! ARGHHHHHHH!"

Sarah continued screaming as she was throwing a temper tantrum inside the car. She ignored all the honking behind her as she was busy murdering Graham in various ways in her mind.

Graham hung up after getting the information he needed. His expression was solemn, but he was glad he could squeeze all the information from Sarah before he hung up.

’That woman is not to be trusted. Not after I realize that I’ve been steered by her the whole time,’ Graham told himself.

He sat in his office in Los Angeles, staring at the cloudy morning, when he heard a knock on the door.

Graham got up and opened the door. He put up his smile immediately, knowing he was facing the politician who was involved in a big corruption scandal.

The politician shook his hand, and with a sly grin, he said, "Thank you so much for clearing up my case, Mr. Hubbard. I would’ve rot in jail without your help. I’m here to pay for the bonus that I’ve promised."

"It’s no problem, Mr. Toch. You can always recommend me to your colleagues. I will take up any case as long as the payment is adequate."

Graham might have been the best divorce lawyer in New York before, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t handle other non-divorce-related cases.

He simply worked on divorce cases because he wanted to help women who were abused by their husbands.

Unfortunately, he could only earn so much as a divorce lawyer. So, he had to shed his idealism and take up expensive cases. He didn’t care even if he knew the defendant was guilty. He would work on it as long as he was paid good money.

This politician in front of him was guilty of corruption and bribery. As Graham handled his case, he realized he was helping a corrupt politician walk out of the courtroom scot-free.

He was hesitant at first, but thinking that he needed a lot of money to fight against Henry to protect Kate, he simply discarded his morality for money.

He also expanded his law firm, telling his juniors to start taking up more cases, not only divorce cases.

Even if they had to handle a divorce case, they need to squeeze as much money as possible from it.

’It’s all for you, Katherine,’ Graham thought as he got obsessed with the idea of protecting Kate. ’I did everything because I don’t want you and your son to get hurt. I don’t even mind taking up that son of yours as mine. Maybe we should dye his hair black or red so he matches mine or yours. I don’t want him to look like that bastard Henry Grant.’

Graham’s eyes darkened as he got the news that Kate’s son was basically Henry 2.0.

He looked exactly like a copy of Henry in the hair, the facial features, and even the eyes.

’I take back my words. I can’t stand having to have that kid between us. Maybe we have to give your son to his father, then we can start anew, Katherine.’
