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.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

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?’ She wondered why Henry was analyzing her.

Blanche's curled eyelashes were raised a bit. Although Henry didn't seem to have much power on the surface, Blanche always had the feeling that he created a huge vortex and could trap people in it.

"Grandma was the most important person to me. She brought me up. It's time for me to repay her.” Although Blanche righteously said those words, Louis' face suddenly appeared in her mind. She still felt like she was being condemned. Henry clapped his hands a few times.

"I'm in awe of your feelings for your grandmother. As for the surgery, you'd better forget about it. Since you have the time, I advise you to spend more time with your grandmother. I could never operate on your grandmother.”

"Why do you refuse to operate on my grandmother?"

Blanche was disappointed and suddenly raised her voice.

She had just seen a glimmer of hope, but it was immediately dashed.

Before Blanche could finish and shut up. Henry pressed his body toward her. Then, Henry stared at her from above

Blanche was about to open her mouth when Henry picked up one of her arms and spun her around.

"What are you doing?” Blanche felt dizzy. She found Henry's behavior inexplicable.

"To spin you around. I'm trying to clear your head. You'd better give up that idea. I repeat I will not operate on my opponent's people."

Blanche was angry to see Henry turn around and walk away. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red

"You're the mast cold-blooded person I've ever met. You could have saved a lifebut you were selfish. No matter how much I begged and bargaimed with you, you refusedto savewiy grandmother. You’ rethe mast outrageous person I've ever rrfét."

Henry turned back around. He looked like he was irritated by Blanche's words. Then he stared at Blanche. He had an agitated look in his eyes.

"What the hell are you? How dare you judge me? Don't guilt-trip me. Look at how many people die in this world every day! Am I going to save everyone?”

Henry turned around and walked away. And Blanche felt as if Henry stomped on her chest so hard that her chest swelled

Henry was as stubborn as a mule. No matter how passionate Blanche was and how much she pleaded with him, she couldn't make Henry have a change of heart

Blanche buried her face with her hands. She started to crumble.

If she had the ability, and someone was dying in front of her, she would save that person.

"YOu wouldn't save my grandma, would you? IIL tell you what if we swapped identities, and it was my enemy'sdoved one lying in front of us, I would have saved that person. Even if that person is my sworn eneniy, I would still save that person. You are just cold-blooded to the core. I'm not guilt- tripping you.”

Blanche suddenly growled from behind. Though she looked tough, she said those words in a sullen and sobbing voice. Henry paused for a moment. Eventually, he walked away. Blanche felt more frustrated. At the restaurant, Sam took one look at the chicken leg he didn't dare to touch and took the time to explain

"Mr. Herbart, you heard that. Mrs. Herbart found out from Clara that I testified on her behalf, and that's why Clara gave me the roast chicken leg. And I didn't try to cozy up to Blanche.”

Louis looked up and said, "Try if you dare."

Sam was finally relieved that Louis had believed him.

"But why didnt you just let me finish? You'rethe one who asked me to come forward and testify. You told me t6:do so. This is ridiculous” I didn't see anything. It's the first-time I've ever committed perjury, and I'm inexperienced. if Mrs. Herbart knows thé truth, she'll be gratefulto you.”

"I don't need anyone to be grateful to me.”
