“How dare you eavesdrop outside my room?”


    Henry covered up his embarrassment with bluster.


    He got to his feet and dusted his trousers.


    “What are you conspiring, huh?” he asked Lydia.


    “What did your ex-boyfriend prepare?”


    “It’s none of your business!”


    “None of my business?” Henryughed derisively.


    “Let me guess, you’re still trying to dissolve this engagement, and you’ve enlisted your ex-boyfriend’s help in ruining today’s event.


    Well? Am I wrong?”


    Thinking that he had caught her red-handed, Henry raised his chin.


    “If I go down right now and tell Dad about this, how do you think he would react?”


    He was expecting Lydia to panic, but surprisingly, she just sneered at him.


    Henry was soon flustered by her stare.


    Still, he refused to back down.


    “I’ll be happy to keep my mouth shut under one condition.


    Give me 5 million right now, and I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear anything.


    ”


    “Do you think this is a dream? Or are you simply too delusional?”


    Lydia spoke like she had just heard the most ridiculous joke in all her life.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    “I won’t even give you 50, let alone 50 million!”


    Henry’s nostrils red as he red at her.


    “If you don’t want me to reveal—”


    The next thing he knew, Hannah had knocked him down from behind with a ferocious kick.


    Henry fell Like a ton of bricks.


    He yelled out in pain and curled into himself.


    Hannah had hit him at the back of the knee.


    He could barely pick himself up, so he resorted to screaming.


    “What the hell is wrong with you?”


    It was then that Bryson spoke, his voice low and ominous.


    “The thing is, there is another, more conclusive way to keep you silent.


    Do you want to know what it is?”


    Henry suddenly fell silent.
