Chapter 197
The more Henry tried to control Isaac, the more his grandson strayed away from him!
Still, Kathy was smart enough to hear the ominous meaning in Henry’s words. “What do you mean,
Henry? Are you giving up on me?”
“I’m old now,” Henry sighed. “There’s a limit to how much I can help you. Whether you win Isaac’s heart
depends entirely on yourself, so you would have to make him fall for you, so that he willingly spends
the rest of his life with you. Am I supposed to keep helping you if you keep running to me whenever
there’s an issue?”
Kathy bit her lip miserably, even as Henry continued, “Who knows? Your transfer might fall through if
you had an accident or you got hurt on the way to the branch office. Try to buy time, and go on from
there!”
Henry could not have made himself clearer–the rest was up to Kathy.
“I’m tired. You should go.”
Finally realizing that she had come at a bad time, Kathy said, “Oh! I must have disturbed you… I really
came at a bad time. Please take care of your health, Henry. I promise to handle any problems on my
own from now on.”
Henry waved her off. “Go.”
He made sure that Kathy left the manor and was out of earshot before he finally spoke, “Do you really
think Isaac would be interested in her?‘
He certainly did no think so—she was too stupid!
Kathy had all the advantages Irene never had, but somehow failed to use any, even coming crying to
him for help!
He really wondered what had gotten into him to help her in the first place.
“Sir, you’re stressing yourself with worry. Let’s get you some rest,” Moneypenny said, helping him walk
just then.
“Oh, I’m just old and weary,” Henry groaned emotionally.
“You shouldn’t say that, sir. You will still live for a long while.”
“And that would still eventually come to an end.”
Suddenly, Henry turned toward Moneypenny. “Now, help me set up a meeting with Harvey Gooding.”
“Why would you want to meet him, sir?” Moneypenny asked.
Henry had made up his mind–he could ignore Irene’s situation, but not a scion of his family.
Irene had promised to deal with the situation herself before, and he decided he could refrain from
meddling.
However, with her now missing, he must take back the child from Harvey.
“You’ve spoken to him before, haven’t you? Tell me, what is he like? A pushover, or a tough
nut?” Henry asked.
Moneypenny dropped to his knees, stammering, “I’m so sorry, sir…”
“Oh, get on your feet. I know you were coerced, but you’ve spoken to him and know what he’s like so
tell me.”
As Moneypenny stood up, he said, “Well, he’s not an unstoppable storm like Master Isaac, but he can
hold his own.”
Henry knew then that he should not meet Harvey recklessly–the man would only be open to
negotiations with sufficient leverage.
“Any weaknesses?”
“I’m not sure,” Moneypenny lowered his head, and explained, “We were not that close…”
Henry suddenly chuckled, and it somehow gave Moneypenny the creeps. “Do you have an idea, sir?”
Henry smiled at him. “Let’s return his favor–an eye for an eye. That’s just fair, don’t you agree?”
Moneypenny understood right then. “You mean, we should abduct someone he cares about, and
demand Irene’s child in exchange?”
Henry nodded that was exactly it, but he also had another goal in mind.
The child was Irene and Isaac’s, but Isaac had no idea.
It therefore made Henry doubtful–how could he not know?
That was why he must take back the boy and conduct a paternity test! Nothing must be left half -baked
when his family was involved!
Likewise, he would never allow a Jefferson to be abandoned, let alone be threatened!
“Go on. Find out who he cares about the most,” Henry said.
“Yes, sir,” Moneypenny said, and left.
Still, as he watched his butler leave, Henry’s almost turbid eyes twinkled!
