Chapter 411
"WHAT?!" Vernon’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe what he heard just now. "How could you do that? You worked hard for it. You deserve to succeed with that new company of yours!"
Henry showed a self-deprecating smile and replied, "Because I see no point in working on it anymore. I begged for your help to get a head start to give Kate a comfortable life. I want to guarantee her security too. That’s why I want to be fully independent from Marlon."
"But she hates me now. She wants me to suffer for the rest of my life. She doesn’t even want to see my face," Henry said. "What’s the point of me working my bones off when I’ve been abandoned?"
Vernon saw the deep sadness in Henry’s eyes, something that he never saw coming from his cousin.
Henry was always lively, reckless, and somewhat of a daredevil. Yet when his beloved left him, he lost his vigor instantly.
And Vernon understood that feeling of defeat because his love life with Chloe wasn’t as smooth sailing as what people thought. He also had that moment when he felt he had lost everything after Chloe left.
Vernon took a deep breath. He tried to maintain his calm as he didn’t want his cousin to go on a dark and destructive path after this, "Then what are you going to do next after you transfer your company to me?"
"I don’t know," Henry replied. "Kate told me to live and suffer. So, I’ll probably spend the rest of my life in seclusion or as a homeless. I don’t really care."
"That’s pathetic, you know that, right?" Vernon warned him. He just couldn’t accept that his cousin would give up so easily.
