"No, but she emphasized that once you hear about what she has to say, you’ll take it very seriously," Joe reiterated what Jacqueline said.
Henry sneered coldly, "Why makes her think that I'll take her seriously?"
Joe shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. I saw her expression and she seemed very confident."
"Hah!" Henry snorted disdainfully as he walked to a door and stopped. He lifted his leg and kicked the door open.
The people in the house screamed in shock when the door suddenly opened.
Jacqueline immediately went into Dominic's arms.
Dominic patted her back to comfort her. "Don't be afraid, Jackie. It's okay, it's just Henry."
"Henry?" Jacqueline lifted her head from Dominic's arms and looked towards the door. She saw two figures standing there, which were Henry and Joe standing at the back.
Jacqueline let out a sigh of relief and she slowly calmed down.
It was not because she was timid, but she had been tortured since she was taken away by Shaw.
Moreover, after everything that happened yesterday, she was constantly on the edge and felt afraid over every little thing.
"Henry, you're here." Jacqueline's face was still pale, but she forced a smile at Henry.
Henry didn’t bother to greet her. He glanced around the room, and after seeing the two documents on the coffee table, he walked towards it.
He stopped in front of the coffee table and bent over slightly to pick up the two documents. "Why didn't you sign these?"
The father and daughter had always broken their promises, so his eyes were full of coldness.
Dominic was a little scared and he started breaking out in a sweat on his forehead. He stubbornly said, "I...
I signed it..."
"What?" Jacqueline was stunned and she shouted at him in disbelief, "You signed it? When did you sign it?"
A dim light flashed in Henry's deep pupils. He wanted to know the answer to that question too.
Before he got there, Sue also told him that Dominic refused to sign the documents, so why did he sign them now?
Henry was very interested in the reason for his sudden change. His sharp gaze fell on Dominic, and h e kept staring at him.
Dominic's shoulders shrank even more, and he even lowered his head as he didn't dare to look at Henry and his own daughter.
"I... I signed it when you were in the bathroom," he replied ashamedly.
Jacqueline was so angry that she almost tripped." Father!"
What was the problem?
Why did he suddenly become so timid?
He was not like this before.
Jacqueline could not help but feel resentful towards Dominic. She resented the fact that her father had become so cowardly and useless.
Henry and Dominic both noticed how disgusted and repelled Jacqueline felt about her father.
