Chapter 231: Erin, Beautiful Like a Fairy
Ben's hands trembled as he spoke with a bitter tone, looking down. "Even if you want to fire me, I still have to say it, Mr. Patrick... You have already strayed from your true self. Everything you have done during this period has exceeded your initial intention to make it up to Jasmine. Your love is possessive, too obsessed."
Henry took a deep breath and grabbed Ben's collar, wanting to make a move. as his fist poised to strike, it faltered.
But
Reason had triumphed over impulse.
Slowly releasing Ben, Henry took a step back.
Indeed, he wanted Jasmine to submit.
Whether it was six years ago or now.
"You're right... I made a mistake when I pretended to be Justin's father," Henry said in a deep voice. "Jasmine is so hostile towards me because she believes I was the one who raped her six years ago, causing her psychological trauma and guilt that led to multiple suicide attempts over the years."
Henry sat on the sofa, his voice heavy. "All of Jasmine's suffering began that night, so the person who forced her is responsible for her mental illness, which is Justin's biological father."
Ben looked at Henry, understanding him. "Mr. Patrick... Jasmine has suffered enough. Please don't... hurt her anymore. When the child's condition stabilizes, you still have a chance to reveal the truth."
Ben was afraid that Henry would create irreparable damage.
Henry nodded, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth. "You're right!"
He shouldn't hide the truth from Jasmine any longer.
When Jasmine finds out that Ethan is the root cause of all her pain, she will run away on her own, without him lifting a finger.
"Mr. Patrick... Are you really going to reveal the truth?" Ben found it hard to believe Henry.
Henry's love had indeed become somewhat obsessive.
"Of course!" Henry snorted. "But not now."
Ethan was so afraid of Jasmine knowing the truth, so Henry would definitely make good use of it.
After all, Ethan was the one who hurt Jasmine six years ago.
"Mr. Patrick..." Ben grew anxious.
"Shut up, you may go now," Henry warned Ben. He had tolerated enough from him tonight.
Lowering his head, Ben nodded after a moment. "Mr. Patrick, get some rest early."
...
Outside Richard's house.
After receiving a call from the police station, Richard stated that he couldn't handle it anymore and that May, for no reason, took the Cunningham Family's children away.
He would handle the situation as it needed to be handled.
He didn't care about howthe child traffickers would be punished either.
Exhausted, Richard walked downstairs and leaned against a lamppost, lighting a cigarette.
Having a mother like that was truly exhausting.
In reality, over the years, Richard hadn't experienced much maternal love, and he hadn't even experienced paternal love for a single day.
As far back as Richard could remember, his sickly father had passed away.
May had really gone through a lot, raising him and Serena all by herself.
At that time, Richard didn't know that Serena wasn't his biological sister.
May treated Serena really well, even saving up money to buy the best milk powder when they couldn't afford to eat.
Richard had always been jealous of his sister because when he was starving and his stomach was in pain late at night, Serena had the best milk powder and baby food.
When he was forced to go out and collect bottles and scraps to sell for money, Serena had the latest toys.
When he had to give up the opportunity to go to college and join the army, Serena was enjoying an expensive private school education but refused to study hard.
Richard never understood why May, such a selfish person, was so good to him, even after knowing that Serena wasn't her biological daughter.
Even until now, Richard couldn't figure it out.
Many times, Richard doubted whether he had been picked up.
It wasn't until the truth about Serena being the picked one came out that Richard finally learned the truth.
"Richard!"
Erin heard the news and that the child had been kidnapped, so she drove out alone in the middle of the night.
She looked a bit disheveled, clearly treating her millions-worth luxury car as a bumper car again.
Seeing her limping over, Richard stood still under the streetlight, amazed for a while.
Erin rushed over, like a fire suddenly bursting into his cold and dark world.
So even though he knew they were not from the same world, Richard still... was moved.
His fingers were a bit stiff as Richard slowly raised his hand and, in the end, honestly hugged her.
"You drove out alone in the middle of the night? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Richard understood how dangerous Erin's situation was; otherwise, she wouldn't have hired so many bodyguards.
But this woman, even though she knew coming out alone was dangerous, still drove here with her terrible driving skills.
"Don't worry, those bastards can't watch me twenty-four hours a day." Erin laughed and cursed.
She always had such an infectious spirit, making Richard laugh and cry at the same time.
"I'm not afraid of those people wanting your life. I'm afraid you'll ruin it yourself," Richard said, reluctantly picking up Erin with one hand. "Let's go home."
"Whose home? Your home or mine?" Erin looked expectant.
"..." Richard sighed deeply. Is this woman a thug?
"It's late, come to my place if you don't mind..." Richard, with boyfriend-like strength, carried Erin in one arm and took her into the elevator.
Erin frowned uncomfortably, being squeezed like this was not pleasant. "Can't you be more romantic and carry me like a princess?"
"What's wrong with carrying you in an elevator?" Richard replied.
"No, you said I can do anything to you." Erin jumped and hung onto Richard.
Richard was taken aback and quickly held her with both hands. "Could you please..."
"Be a bit more reserved..."
"Can being reserved knock you down?" Erin rolled her eyes.
"This is a rental house, although it is no longer the Demolition Zone I used to live in, it is still a far cry from your mansion. Think carefully," Richard warned Erin before opening the door, giving her a chance to change her mind and go back.
Erin squinted her eyes and smiled.
She took out a small square packet from her pocket and bit it directly into her mouth.
"Sister, I came prepared."
"..." Richard's breathing trembled with anger. He really wanted to throw this woman out the door.
His ears were burning, Richard had never met such a woman in his life.
Maybe... rich Misses from wealthy families are all like this.
Richard knew Erin was free-spirited and had been married before, so she couldn't be like him... all these years still a...
He also knew how difficult it was for a rich Miss to get obsessed with something temporarily.
Richard was unsure how long Erin's enthusiasm would last, and he knew it wouldn't take long for Wilson to get tired of him.
Richard had been avoiding Erin...." Richard closed the door, met with her lips... because he was afraid of getting involved.
She was too passionate.
He simply... couldn't resist her.
"E
Richard's breathing became rapid as he pushed her up against the door. "You need to think it through... you can provoke me, but if you get tired of me, you must... tell me in advance."
"And... I'm willing to have sex with you, but even if it's just a physical relationship... I want you to not be with anyone else during our time together."
Erin looked at Richard. "You really are an inexperienced man."
Richard looked away, hoping this woman could be more tactful in her words.
"Never mind, I don't mind if you're inexperienced." Erin bit Richard's ear.
Richard took a deep breath and carried the person into the bathroom.
Under the warm light in the bathroom, Erin looked as beautiful as a fairy...
