Chapter 352
"Whether Henry started a business in New York or not, this attack is inevitable, it will happen eventually," Michael said. "That’s why he wants Kate to stay inside the apartment under my protection because we don’t know when Marlon will strike."
"And about the business he wants to make... he simply wants to be fully independent from Marlon. So Marlon, Penny, or Sarah won’t have power over him," Michael explained. "Though he has a lot of money, he lacks the needed influence. That’s why he asked for his cousin’s help to help him with legal procedures and getting all the connections needed to push his new company fast."
Michael glanced at Mai, who listened carefully. She was full of worry and grieving, which also hurt Michael.
Because he was supposed to protect Kate at all costs, but he had to send his beloved sweet bunny to help Kate and fight an intruder instead.
He felt pathetic.
"He wants to start his own family with Kate and their baby. So he tried his best to separate himself from his constricting, crazy family," Michael said. "This is all for Kate’s safety and happiness, whether you like it or not."
"But..." Mai lowered her head. She fiddled with her hands, still reluctant to concede with her protest. "If he truly loves her and knows his family is full of assholes, he shouldn’t have dated her and knocked her up..."
Michael couldn’t think of any good reply for that one, simply because he and Henry decided never to tell Kate and Mai about the bitter truth of Henry’s initial plan to take Kate’s baby and ditch her.
It was too cruel, and they knew Mai and Kate would hate them for the rest of their lives.
