But Sadie only shook her head lightly.

"No. From the moment I came back, in my heart I still saw you as my father, and I even thought that as long as you weren’t involved in that incident, I could help you, help the Monroe Family, even help the Stanton Group soar. After all, you were my only blood relative left. It’s just a pity... you let me down again and again."

Henry Stanton’s heart twisted into a knot. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

If he had known earlier that Sadie’s true nature was like this, if he had known earlier that Sadie could really keep Damian Knight’s heart firmly tied to her, he would definitely have treated Sadie like a precious jewel in his palm, spoiling her, so how could he have thrown her out of the house?

Wait!

Henry suddenly realized that it still wasn’t too late. Sadie was his daughter, and that was an ironclad fact. A daughter couldn’t possibly send her own father to his death, no matter how ruthless she was, she wouldn’t be able to do it.

Henry instantly changed his expression and said ingratiatingly, "Sadie, everything in the past was Dad’s fault. Dad shouldn’t have listened to your grandma and your aunt and kicked you out. It was Dad who was wrong. Can you forgive Dad, please?"

"Heh." Sadie acted like she’d just heard a joke, and asked with a cold laugh, "Even if I could forgive you for throwing me out of the house, what about the fact that you killed my mother?"

Henry’s back went rigid, then he grit his teeth and said, "Your mother’s death was just an accident. If you want to talk about the cause of that accident, you can only blame Stella. It had nothing to do with Dad at all!"

"Really?" Sadie’s lips quirked.

Henry nodded repeatedly. "Of course! I loved your mother so much, how could I possibly hurt her? She was the woman in my bed, for god’s sake."

"Oh? Then let me ask someone else what they have to say." Sadie turned her eyes to the side and ordered the bodyguard, "Bring her over!"

"Yes, ma’am!"

In no time, the tightly trussed-up Stella Monroe was brought over.

When she saw Henry Stanton tied up in the trunk, the ashen look on her face vanished in an instant, replaced by wild, maniacal laughter.

"Hahaha... Henry Stanton, you didn’t see this coming either, did you? What we did to Luna Monroe ten years ago still got dug up by her daughter ten years later. You thought you could lock me up in that pigsty for the rest of my life? I say you’re the one who’ll be imprisoned by Sadie for life! The two of us, neither of us is getting away, and neither of us will end any better than the other!"

Henry shook all over with rage. Thinking of the fact that Sadie was right there, he hurriedly argued, "Stella! Don’t talk nonsense! Luna’s death had nothing to do with me. It was all you colluding with others to hurt her. I didn’t do anything at all! Don’t drag me down just because you got caught!"

"Drag you down?" Stella sneered and asked, "Wasn’t it you who personally pushed Luna Monroe down? Who was it that said to her, ’I’m sick of seeing that high-and-mighty face of yours,’ and then shoved her off?"

"I did not! What push? Don’t talk nonsense! Luna clearly jumped because you pissed her off!"

Stella shook her head. "Heaven is watching everything humans do, Henry. Don’t think that just because you won’t admit it, it’ll all go away."

Henry simply ignored Stella and turned to Sadie, saying, "Sadie, you have to believe Dad! Dad really didn’t take part in that. I didn’t know anything at all. By the time I found out, I was already married to Stella. After that I had no choice. For the honor of the Monroe Family, I couldn’t very well send the Monroe Family’s only daughter to prison, could I?"

But the moment Henry finished speaking, Stella burst out laughing again.

This time she even laughed until tears came out, her waist bent so far she couldn’t straighten up.

"What are you laughing at?!" Henry roared, furious.
