He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 494

"Honestly, what’s the point of doing this anyway? You worked so hard to build your company, merging it with Grant Estate, and even went as far as accepting the title of Duke of York," Sarah continued. "But even with all those achievements, are you really sure that Kate will return?"

"She left because of you. You traumatized her during the most important moment in her life. You threatened her and her son’s life," Henry said. "As long as you’re dead, then she will return."

"What if she already has someone else? Maybe she already replaced you," Sarah said.

"She doesn’t have anyone else," Henry continued denying. He relied on all the information his mother gave because he didn’t want to inquire further, knowing it would only hurt him. "Even if she does, then I can just kill that bastard who dares to touch my woman, and bring my family back."

"You’re doing too much for a woman who doesn’t love you, Henry," Sarah continued her method to shake Henry’s belief. This man might look intimidating and strong, but he was still fragile, especially after Kate left him.

With only a small persuasion, it wouldn’t be hard to make Henry give up his meaningless chase over Kate and finally accept her as a Duchess.

"If she loves you, she wouldn’t run away with your son. She’s a selfish coward who’s not suitable to stand by your side. She’s not meant for you," Sarah said. "But I am. Don’t you see how desperate I am? I may not be a kind woman, but I’m sure as hell to stand by your side no matter what. I’m not a coward like Katherine."

"Killing my brother, throwing my mother into a mental asylum, ambushing my woman and my child are not cowardly moves to you?" Henry snorted. "You make me laugh, Sarah. Besides, Kate went through hell to carry my baby. She IS my only one. There’s no one else."

"But you’re not her only one, Henry!" Sarah insisted. "She’s gorgeous, I admit that. She could seduce you, James, and even Graham. What makes you think that you’re special? She can just seduce another rich man and move on!"

"She won’t do that," Henry’s gaze turned cold instantly. "Katherine is a loyal woman. Even if we’re separated right now, she still keeps herself away from another man."

"That’s what YOU want to believe. But you don’t know what’s in her heart. She left you when you were in a critical condition after saving her, what makes you think that she can’t betray you twice?" Sarah asked. She noticed the hesitation in Henry’s face, followed by his silence as he had no way to refute her claim.

It was like a poison that was injected inside his body, eating him from inside and making him doubtful whether Kate had truly moved on from him or not.

He did everything for Kate and Theo, and if Kate already moved on, then there was no point in living anymore because everything he did was in vain.

"That’s right, Henry," Sarah tried to approach Henry slowly, thinking she had successfully poisoned his mind with doubt. "You should forget about Kate. She is not good enough for you. She will only betray you again. She is a skank—"

BANG!

Sarah’s eyes widened, her mouth was wide open, and she gasped when she realized what had just happened.

Henry shot her right on her chest, and she slumped to the ground, spasming while looking up at Henry, "H—Henry, I... We..."

Henry aimed his gun at her head and...

BANG!

He shot her right on her forehead, killing her immediately.

"You talk too much," Henry said coldly. "You have no right to question Kate’s heart when you’re the reason why she left. I should’ve killed you long ago, Sarah Lancaster."

Henry spat on the corpse before he pocketed his gun. Everyone was so busy trying to control the fire and help the victims escape the burning building, so nobody noticed the murder in the alleyway.

Henry made sure that Sarah would lay dead for a while, probably getting chewed by many rats in the process, before someone finally discovered her rotten corpse.

It was the justice that she deserved after being a rat who brought the plague into his family. Henry’s family wasn’t perfect, but it was still livable for Henry until Sarah came and ruined everything just for her weird ambition to be a Duchess, which Henry found utterly foolish.

’I’ve become a Duke simply to destroy her noble house. To show her that none of this matters in the end...’ Henry thought. ’But Kate said that she read a lot of royal romance as a teenager, so she once daydreamed of becoming a Queen or a Duchess. I hope my status will be enough to interest her...’

Henry might look unfeeling and rigid from the outside, but he was still the same young man who fell in love deeply with Katherine almost three years ago.

He had his insecurities, and after Kate left, his insecurities only worsened.

Other than for her security, he piled up all of this wealth and status to convince Kate that he was now a capable man.

They didn’t need to worry about anything now, and Kate could spend the rest of her life at ease.

She didn’t need to work and could spend her life wasting as much money as she wanted, though Henry knew that Kate wasn’t that type of woman.

She was an independent lady who didn’t need to rely on anyone. Even now, his mother told him that Kate had a comfortable life in Maine with all her money.

She was rich and would continue to be rich for the rest of her life.

And that was also one thing that gave him doubt.

’Kate doesn’t need my money. I have a lot of it, yet she can live comfortably on her own...’ Henry thought. ’What should I do if she rejects me because I offer nothing but money?’
