Chapter 364 North’s Retaliation
“I misunderstood your mommy seven years ago. That’s why I said those words to her…”
North looked at him coldly. “You only said those words seven years ago? Seven years later, when Mommy and I first saw you, you hit her immediately. It’s because of her that I didn’t teach you a lesson! Do you know what would happen to others if they had done this to her? They would be begging on the streets!”
Henry was so shocked that the muscles on his face couldn’t stop twitching. If North didn’t speak to him in person—if he wasn’t looking at the latter defensively—Henry would have thought that he was imagining this.
Is this what a kid would say?
Asking me to beg on the streets?
However, the confidence in North’s eyes injected fear into Henry. Perhaps he’s not bluffing!
However, North was not done. Looking at Henry solemnly and seriously, he recounted, “The second time we saw you, you chased us away because of your other daughter’s wedding anniversary. Do you know how sad Mommy was?”
Henry suddenly felt ashamed of himself. Even though he wanted to explain, no words came out of his mouth. After all, he didn’t pay respects to his dead ex-wife that day.
North snorted, “You felt sorry for your daughter just because she didn’t have any painkillers, and you came over to force Mommy to save your daughter. Why didn’t you ask your daughter to let me go then? I’m my mommy’s son—how come you’ve never felt sorry for me? Mommy is too kind, letting you off the hook every time, but I won’t! From today onward, if you hurt her again, I won’t let things slide easily!”
When he was speaking, he clenched his fists tightly as he looked at Henry with a livid expression.
Taken aback, Henry looked fearful. He actually couldn’t treat North as a seven-year-old anymore as his demeanor was even fiercer than his.
He stammered, “I-I won’t hurt her anymore. I-I just want to v-visit her!”
North snorted out laughing. “Every time you see Mommy, she would be sad for a long time. Do you think I’d let you see her?”
Even though Henry managed an entire company with hundreds of employees working under him, he was stumped at this moment, facing a child’s accusations.
Every time Henry saw North, the latter was rather quiet and inconspicuous. However, unexpectedly, his mind was quite coherent, and he could remember every incident clearly.
Standing aside, Sophia silently cheered North on. North is brilliant indeed! His words are so powerful!
Yes! We have to retaliate until Henry has nothing to say!
Henry heaved a long sigh. “Fine. I-In that case, please help me to thank your mother for asking President Nolan to let Maxwell Company off the hook. With that, I-I shall take my leave now. Bye.”
However, as soon as he turned around, he heard Olivia’s voice. “Sophia, who’s there?”
Henry suddenly stopped his footsteps. However, he merely stood still, not having the courage to even turn around. Even a child could see it clearly, but why not me?
Every time after meeting her, I will only blame her for not helping.
However, I’ve never stood in her shoes. Why should she help me out?
I was the one who wanted to break off ties with her. After all these years, I’ve never cared about her, so I don’t have any rights to request anything from her!
My grandson is right—I can’t simply relate myself to them anymore.
Olivia already saw Henry, who stood still with his back facing her in a slumped manner, as if he had lost all life within him.
North didn’t want his mother to be implicated with Henry anymore, so he took the initiative to hold her hand. “Mommy, I’m hungry. Let’s go have some food!”
Olivia replied, “Sure. What would you like? I’ll bring you there later.” With that, she walked toward Henry.
North quickly said, “Mommy, let’s go now!” After he spoke, he began dragging her away.
