Chapter 28
I stayed silent, watching Anya mutter to herself.
Suddenly, the factory gate opened.
Henry’s figure appeared and my heart trembled. Just as I wondered if I had sent the wrong message, Anya spoke first.
“Henry, do you really care about this bitch? For her, even knowing I planted explosives here, you still dared to come?!”
Henry didn’t even look at her, his eyes fixed on me.
“Kate, long time no see…”
I turned my head away, unwilling to meet his gaze. After a moment of quiet sorrow, Henry finally looked at Anya. “Isn’t it me you want? I’m the one you’re after. Let Kate go, she has nothing to do with this.”
“Let her go? Hahaha… If I let her go, who will let me go?” Anya laughed loudly, tears welling in her eyes.
After laughing enough, Anya held her stomach with one hand and steadied herself on the iron frame. “Henry, do you really think you’re so desirable? Kate doesn’t love you at all. Why can’t you ust turn back to me and stay with me?”
‘You clearly loved me before. Have you forgotten your confession to me under the fireworks? ‘Have you forgotten the vows we made?”
With every word she spoke, Henry’s expression grew darker until his face turned cold and grim. ‘Shut up! It was you who tricked me with your sweet words, making me misunderstand Kate.” ‘If it weren’t for you, Kate and I would still be living happily together, not staring at each other with cold eyes like we are now.”
Hearing Henry’s words, Anya looked as if she had just heard a ridiculous joke.
She smiled, pointed at me and said, “Then why do you think I harmed you and her? Isn’t it because of your self-righteousness?”
‘You say I ruined you, but weren’t you the one who hurt her the most all these years? If it weren’t or your indulgence, how would I have dared to bully her?”
‘In the end, all of this is your fault, yet now you’re blaming me.”
Henry’s face turned pale. He looked at me quickly, opening his mouth to explain, but Anya cut in, ‘Alright, I don’t have time for your reminiscing. If you just come over here, I’ll let her go. How about it?”
A thought flashed through my mind-Anya was not as simple as she seemed.
Henry believed her. Without hesitation, he walked over and when he was three steps away from Anya, she suddenly pulled a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed him. Blood spurted out and Henry quickly grabbed her wrist, forcing her to drop it.
He kicked Anya to the ground, then came toward me.
With the dagger still in his chest, he calmly untied the ropes around my wrists. “Kate, I’m sorry,
but I want to say I’m not…”
Before he could finish, Anya staggered to her feet, clutching a button in her hand and laughing wildly. “You bastards, go to hell together!”
