Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 I Don't Need Anyone to Thank Me 

Blanche jogged to the bathroom door. She saw a man in a blue suit walk right into the men's bathroom. 

Henry went in, and Blanche stood miles away from the door and waited for him to come out. 

Just when Blanche thought she was going to wait for a while, she saw Henry walk out of the bathroom. 

"There you go again. Little mouse, I knew you'd follow me." 

Henry was just moments away from coming to the bathroom when he felt a rustling of footsteps coming from behind him. The funny thing was that the rustling reminded him of his wandering days. 

At that time, he was an orphan. He could only sleep in the street at night with the rats. Maybe even the rats thought he was a stray and could be bullied. 

Wherever he went, the mice came after him. 

Some of them were even brave enough to crawl over to him in his sleep and steal the buns he found. 

Blanche was confused. She wondered who Henry was talking to. Then she realized he was staring at her. 

"Henry, what mouse? I'm not a little mouse." 

"Who else do you think I'm talking to?" 

Blanche confirmed that Henry had called her a little mouse. Blanche's snow-white little face twitched. However, she thought it was a harsh nickname. 

Henry shrugged and looked cold. 

"What is it? Say it." 

His serious demeanor made Blanche cringe. Then Blanche licked her dry lips, plucked up her courage, and looked composed. 

"When you were in the private room, I saw you texting that tattooed guy. Do you know each other?" 

"Is it weird that I know him? He's the manager of Genesis Enterprises and a big shot. Shouldn't I know him?" 

His rebuttal sounded reasonable. And Blanche shook her head vigorously. 

"It's not like that. That guy is too reckless and self-righteous. He looks less like a manager of Genesis Enterprises and more like a puppet to me." 

"So you're trying to say he's a puppet, and I'm the man behind Genesis Enterprises. Little rat, you have a wild imagination." 

Blanche thought, 'Stop calling me a rat!' She was very afraid of rats. She fainted once as a child from a rat that suddenly jumped on her. 

Blanche took a breath, pursed her lips, and did not deny it. 

"So you think you've got something on me? So you want to go to your husband and tell him I'm colluding with a rival company?" 

Blanche turned up the corner of her mouth. 

"Whether I have a wild imagination or not, you and I know it well. I can keep this to myself as long as you promise to operate on my grandmother." 

"Huh! I can hear you threatening me with this thing. What makes me wonder is that you would rather sacrifice your husband's interest for the sake of your grandmother. Do you know how much money your husband would lose if this were true and I did collude with a rival company?" Henry was not afraid at all and raised his eyebrows to question Blanche. 

"Usually, after a girl gets married, the girl's family won't care about her anymore, but you're still thinking about your family." 

Blanche bit the corner of her pink and delicate mouth. She thought, 'Shouldn't he just say whether he will do it or not?'
