Chapter 105
Upstairs, Lily felt a rush of relief when she realized that she had finally been rescued.
Tears streamed down her face as she choked out, “Clement.”
“Dad.” Alex and Sam immediately called out to Clement when they saw him.
Henry observed the scene with a cold look.
Clement shielded Lily and the boys with his body.
Lily looked at him, her tears flowing uncontrollably as she cried. “Clement, I… I…”
She had so many things to say to him, but she couldn’t form the right words.
She had never expected such cruelty from Henry, especially considering the bond she had shared with
Elaine.
She had even watched him and Madelyn grow up.
Clement understood things immediately upon Lily’s hesitation.
He marched up to Henry angrily and slapped him across the face.
“You monster! You’re heartless! She’s your elder!”
Lily was over ten years older than Henry. She was only a few years shy of hitting her 40s, which made her
his elder.
Henry touched his stinging cheek and glanced coldly at Clement, Lily, Alex, and Sam.
“Clement, I’m already being very kind by not letting the kids witness it firsthand.”
Clement had always been a cheater. Henry wanted to see if he would still accept Lily now that she had
been tainted by another.
“Dad.” As Clement moved to slap Henry again, Alex and Sam intervened and pulled at him from both
sides.
“Dad, please stop. It’s not right to hit people.”
Seeing Alex and Sam plead for Henry, Elaine’s eyes welled up even more. Despite her anger, she had to
admit the boys were innocent.
Seeing this, Lily wiped away her tears and grasped Clement’s arm. “Let’s go, Clement!”
She didn’t want to linger there a moment longer. Each passing moment felt like a nightmare.
With tear–filled eyes, Clement took Lily’s hand.
As Lily walked past Henry, she paused and looked back at him. “I’m sorry, Henry. And thank you for not harming Sam and Alex.”
Chapter 105
Yet, she vowed never to forget or forgive what Henry had done to her.
With his hands in his pockets, Henry remained stoic. It wasn’t until Clement led Lily, Alex, and Sam out that Henry moved.
Elaine snapped back to reality and approached Henry, “Henry.”
Elaine knew how composed and ruthless Henry was. But she had never expected him to be so cruel
toward Lily.
She didn’t even dare ask how many men Henry had called to get the job done.
Henry looked at Elaine calmly. “Mom, I’ll have the driver take you
home.”
Once the driver escorted Elaine away, Henry instructed his assistant to sell the house before driving off in
his car.
Clement’s affair had caused irreparable damage to him, Madelyn, and Elaine. Henry wouldn’t let Clement
off that easily.
Now that he had forced Clement to give up his shares, Henry knew the former would seek a divorce.
He couldn’t allow Clement to find peace. He had to keep Clement unsettled.
Henry flicked the cigarette out the car window and stepped on the gas, speeding off into the night..
