Henry used thest bit of patience he had left to calm the woman in front of him. But deep down, irritation crept up on him before he even realized it.
Shannon’s eyes finally showed a spark of life.
She lifted her head. “Really?”
“Of course!”
Henry nodded again and again.
After Shannon’sst trip to the hospital, he had been on edge, scared something might happen again. Now that things were quiet, he figured it would all be fine. He just needed to keep a low profile when the time came.
“If you dare to go back on your word, I’ll expose every secret you’re hiding!”
Shannon red and threatened him.
Henry burst outughing, acting like she was just being dramatic. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders, squeezed lightly, then leaned in and kissed her cheek.
“You and I both know you won’t. How could I let you down? Rx. I’ll be there with you.”
He tossed out the promise carelessly and walked away.
The front door shut with a thud.
Shannon stared nkly at the doorway. Her arms hung by her sides, then slowly tightened into fists.
In the hospital room, Olivia had cleared everyone out.
Now only she and Tess remained.
“I heard you guys caught Jolie, and she gave up Henry?”
Olivia asked as she peeled a grape. It glinted under the light, matching the emerald bracelet on
her wrist.

Tess took it quietly, chewing while she nodded.

“Yes. Jolic insisted. She imed Henry pushed her into it. She imed she never would’ve gone that far without him.”
Olivia let out a cold snort. “So she thinks naming Henry gets her off the hook? She started this whole mess. She’s the one who took action.”
Tess nodded, though her expression grew more serious. “But I heard Jolie’s family background isn’t simple.”
She lowered her eyes, unsure of where to even begin.
Someone had almost taken her life–there was no way she could let that slide.
But if Jolie’s family really had influence, giving her the punishment she deserved wouldn’t be
easy.
“Herst name is Reagan?” Olivia followed the train of thought, searching her memory.
“Reagans from where?”
“I heard they’re from Moserton.”
Moserton.
Even Olivia frowned at that city.
“How did we end up dragging Moserton into this?”
Tess knew Crorus’s political center was no joke. And the Reagens, one of the top families there, carried real weight.
When she saw the look on Olivia’s face, she finally understood why Jolie had always acted so bold back when she worked as Steven’s assistant. With a family like that behind her, no wonder she thought she could do anything.
“You’re not badly hurt,” Olivia said, shaking her head. “But with Jolie’s background, punishing her won’t be easy.”
“I know, Grandma, but-”
“But if you were the heir,” Olivia cut in, raising a brow, “that would be different. Our family can outrank a Reagens. Even if the Reagens try to protect her, as long as you insist, Jolie will end up paying for what she did.”

Tess opened her mouth to respond, but Olivia suddenly winked at her–far too obvious, far too suggestive.
Tess didn’t know whether tough or sigh.
Even now, Olivia still wanted her to take over the family business.
“Grandma, Aunt Violet is still young. You don’t have to rush this.”
Hearing Tess’s quiet refusal, Olivia shot her a sharp re–full of you have no idea how lucky
you are.
So many people begged for a chance to be tied to them, but this girl kept rejecting the offer again and again.
But seeing how stubborn Tess was and remembering she was still recovering, Olivia huffed and didn’t push further.
After a short silence, something clicked in Tess’s mind.
She turned to look at Olivia. She seemedpletely calm, even while piling more fruit on Tess’s te.
“Grandma, I told you Jolie confessed that Henry was involved. And that my ident is tied to him too. But you don’t seem surprised at all. Why?”
Olivia snorted. Twice. Like she’d been waiting for that question.
“Henry?” She scoffed louder. “I never wanted your mom to marry him. I knew from the start he wasn’t a good man.”
She crossed her arms and rolled her eyes, looking every bit like a grumpy but yful olddy.
Tess couldn’t help smiling. Olivia’s attitude had a way of lifting her mood.
“Then why did you visit them back then?”
“Because your mom married him,” Olivia said bluntly. “Someone had to keep things looking decent, or her life would’ve been miserable.”
Her voice was annoyed, but by the end she let out a sigh. Tess watched Olivia’s expression soften with regret and didn’t know what to say tofort her.
So Olivia had always known Henry was only after the family influence. But for Kylie’s sake, she had turned a blind eye and endured his fake politeness all these years.

Tess quickly changed the subject, not wanting to linger there.

“What? You’re tired of me already?” Olivia’s eyes widened. “Now you’re trying to kick this old woman out?<b>” </b>
Her tone was full of mock outrage.
