Imprisoned While Pregnant, She's Back for Payback novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324 Tess’s Poison

Kylie’s gaze cut coldly across Nadine’s face, then locked on Henry.

“Shannon’s still alive, isn’t she? All those years you spent abroad–you were seeing her, weren’t you? Yes or no?”

Her voice trembled, every word like blood squeezed from her throat.

How could she have been so blind?

She’d treated her husband’s mistress with gratitude, raised her love child as if she were her and in the process neglected her brilliant real daughter. own,

Her chest clenched, rage so strong she nearly blacked out.

How could they be this shameless?

Henry stood frozen under her accusatory gaze. His silence only deepened the fury burning in her eyes–until his own expression hardened, his guilt slowly mutating into brazen defiance.

Kylie grabbed his collar, staring at his hypocritical face, her nails itching to rip the false skin right off.

“Henry, you’re a heartless bastard! Without me, there wouldn’t even be an Ember Group- none of your power, none of your status! And you betray me with Shannon?”

Her eyes were bloodshot as she raised her hand, ready to slap him.

Memories flashed through her mind. How he’d tricked her into a shotgun marriage. How her family tried to force a divorce, even shoved them into the courthouse. How she’d resisted, even tried to elope–sending her grandmother into a stroke from the shock. The Larsons gave her two million and a whole office building, then cut ties forever.

Her heart twisted like a knife turning in her chest.

All these years, she’d given so much, only to be treated like this.

Her eyes slid to Nadine’s face. Her hand curled into a fist.

No wonder … No wonder Nadine resembled Henry so much. Back then, she’d worried Henry wouldn’t agree to adopt Nadine, thought maybe their resemblance might soften his cold heart. But he had agreed without hesitation. Of course, because Nadine was his daughter all along.

A bitter laugh bubbled up inside her, though her eyes brimmed with tears.

She lifted her hand high.

The blow whooshed through the air–then froze mid–strike.

Henry raised his eyes and suddenly pulled her into his arms.

“Kylie, what madness is this? Can’t you see how obvious a setup this is?

“I admit it—yes, the Ember Group got its start thanks to your family’s connections. But so what? I’ve always truly loved you.

“It’s been 20 years–you’ve been cut off from the Larsons all this time, and I never relied on them. Every trip abroad was for you, for us, to give you and the Embers a better life.

“As for Nadine, that child has always treated you as her real mother.

What was she thinking? How could she let Tess’s poison get to her?
