Chapter 168 Henry’s Revenge
A stifling feeling welled up in my chest, I took a deep breath and asked, “So, did Walter and William
know about this?” Underneath the vast wealth of the Ilinton family, hundreds of lives were being
suppressed.
Dale shook his head, “Only the old man and a few of his close subordinates knew about this back then.
Later, these people were gradually transferred abroad and have now become the confidants of the
Hinton family. If it weren’t for Henry using this to threaten Carley, I would never have told you any of
this.”
I pursed my lips, continuing, “What did Henry threaten Grandma
with?”
Dale sighed, saying, “He wanted Carley to legitimately marry Miss Ashley into the Hinton family, so that
Ms. Conner’s unborn child could be born rightfully into the Hinton family, becoming the legitimate eldest
grandchild of the Hinton family, and in the future, possess a share of the inheritance of the Hinton
family’s descendants.”
Henry really thought far ahead, knowing that no matter how much he struggled, he was nothing more
than a fugitive. He couldn’t provide a bright future for his own child, so he set his sights on the Hinton
family. Even a portion of the Hinton family’s wealth would be enough to ensure that his child would
never want for anything in his lifetime. Moreover, the future of the Hinton family’s eldest grandson was NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

No wonder Carley’s attitude towards me changed so quickly. After all, who would want to raise
someone else’s child for free, let alone share their own property with a child of unknown origin? If

interfere in the future, wouldn’t the Hinton family be in chaos?
After a moment of silence, I couldn’t help but ask, “If that’s the case, then why did Henry suddenly
pretend to be a doctor to harm grandma today?”
Dale frowned slightly and said, “Perhaps he had already discovered that Carley didn’t want Ms. Conner
to enter the Hinton family, and was prepared to fight to the death with him. That’s why he planned to kill
Carley, letting Ms. Conner go directly to Mr. Walter. Given Mr. Walter’s feelings for Ms. Conner, if Carley
was no longer around, Mr. Walter marrying Ms. Conner would probably be…”
I couldn’t help but curl my lips, indeed, Walter’s feelings for Ashley were extraordinary. If Ashley were
to threaten with death, or play the victim, I feared that Walter might soften at that moment. It was hard
to say that he wouldn’t marry Ashley into the Hinton family.
Having figured out the ins and outs, I took a slight breath, looking at Dale and asked, “Did grandma not
intend to tell the younger generation of the Hinton family about what happened back then?”
Dale shook his head, “I wouldn’t dare to speculate too much on what Carley might be thinking, but now
that Henry has made a move against Carley, I suppose Carley will have her own plans when she
wakes up.”
True, I nodded, no longer asking any more questions.
Went upstairs with him.
In the elevator, I couldn’t help but think of Walter’s father and found myself looking at Dale, asking him,
“Dale, did Walter’s father really just disappear without a trace?” How could a perfectly fine person just
up and leave like that? And to vanish without a trace.
Dale shook his head, sighing somewhat, “When Mr. Walter’s father left years ago, he severed ties with
the Hinton family. Plus, the old

Was angry at the time and never allowed anyone to inquire about it. Later, when the old master passed
away, Carley had someone look for him, but they didn’t find him. They only heard that he had gone to
the border. Over the years, the Hinton family has also arranged for people to inquire, but there is still no
information. Some people say, they fear that…”
He didn’t say the words that followed, but the implication was clear. Walter’s father might have already
passed away.
I pursed my lips and didn’t ask any more questions.
I couldn’t help but think back to when I met Walter at the border five years ago. Over the years, I’ve
been unable to understand why he, a young master of the Hinton family, who could have enjoyed a life
of luxury, chose to go to the border and ended up being tortured in a
water dungeon. Now it seems, perhaps his purpose of going to the water dungeon. Now it seems, pe
border was to find his father.
That being said, I do recall when Ezra died in Chesterburg, his complexion seemed off, as if he was
lost. I didn’t understand at the time why he was so unwilling to accept Ezra’s death.
Looking back now, could it be. that Walter’s father was connected to Ezra? Walter wanted to find clues
about his father from Ezra, but Ezra’s death meant that the trail had gone cold.
“Madam.” Dale’s voice interrupted my thoughts.
I snapped back to reality and looked at him, momentarily bewildered, asking, “What happened?”
Dale pointed at the bag in my hand and said, “Your phone rang.”
Hearing Dale’s reminder, I hurriedly pulled out my phone from my bag, sure enough, there was a
missed call. It was from Rachel.

Upon seeing this, I dialed the number back. The call was answered within a few seconds, and I heard
Rachel’s anxious voice from the other end, “Tabatha, I just saw Henry. It seems like he went into Blue
Silver Bay.”
Blue Silver Bay was the neighborhood where the Conner family lived. What was Henry doing there?
Driven by instinct, the first thing that came to my mind was whether Henry was trying to retaliate
against me by using my mother because I had disrupted his plans.
