BookToReadChapter 258 Now, Henry was forcing them to sell their jewelry and had even laid hands on Mandy. The thought sent a wave of fear through Seline.
Mandy gently patted Seline's back, soothing her. "Don't be afraid. I'm here." No matter what Henry was planning, she wouldn't allow it if it threatened their interests.
The atmosphere in the Yates residence remained oppressive and tense. In contrast, Suzanne was in a rather pleasant mood.
At Starview Villa, in a room with warm wooden decor, Suzanne placed the final flower into a vase before lifting it and setting it on a side table. The evening breeze swept through, carrying the faint scent of fresh flowers throughout the room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as she put the vase down, her phone rang. Glancing at the screen, she answered without hesitation.
Before she could speak, a voice on the other end burst with excitement. "Henry got what was coming to him! Frankie beat him up so bad his face is swollen like a balloon!" Shane had wanted to do this for a long time.
The only reason he held back was because Henry was Suzanne's biological father. But now that Frankie had taken action, Shane couldn't be more thrilled.
Suzanne raised an eyebrow in surprise. "How do you know?" Had Frankie acted this quickly? She had expected it to take a few days at least. It seemed her provocation had worked faster than anticipated. Reclining lazily in a chair, Shane swirled the wine in his glass, a smug grin on his baby-faced features. "Who do you think I am? Of course, I'd know." His arrogance made Suzanne shake her head in amusement.
Taking a sip of wine, Shane continued gleefully, "Henry went to Golden Plaza's casino tonight and got played by Frankie. He lost more than 20 million dollars and got a beating on top of it. Pretty pathetic, if you ask me." Twenty million dollars.
Suzanne's brows furrowed together. Where did he get that kind of money? Henry had been managing Yates Corporation for years, skimming off the top here and there, but he had never had access to such vast amounts. His usual financial movements never exceeded ten million dollars.
Something didn't add up.
Shane, noticing her silence, teased, "What? Feeling sorry for him?" He understood. After all, Henry was still her biological father.
However, Suzanne merely curled her lips into a cold smile. "Sorry? He may be my father, but I cut ties with him long ago. Whether he wins or loses doesn't affectin the slightest." Losing 20 million dollars and getting beaten? That was nothing.
Even if Henry died right in front of her, she wouldn't so much as blink.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe things he had done over the years had long since killed any familial bond she might have felt toward him. The things he had put her through were far worse than this.
Shane's playful tone faded, replaced with quiet sympathy. He had witnessed firsthand the cruelty Henry had subjected Suzanne to over the years.
With a sigh, he comforted her, saying, "Don't dwell on it. Bad people always get what they deserve. This is just the beginning for Henry and Frankie." Suzanne nodded. "I know."
But what she really wanted to figure out was how Henry had cup with that 20 million dollars.
Setting down his glass, Shane stood. "I just called to share the good news. Nothing else. Get srest." Suzanne replied softly, "Alright." They exchanged a few more words before hanging up.
Suzanne stared at her phone, her expression growing colder.
She needed to keep an eye on Henry. If he dared to dip into the company's funds, she wouldn't show mercy.
Just as she turned to head to the bathroom, her phone rang again.
