Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 392

Henry had finally pieced it all together. That fateful night by the ocean, when Sarah had manipulated him and Olivia into a deep-seated hatred that spanned three years, resulting in their children being born prematurely and sickly, was unforgivable. "Oh. Haha..."

Sarah, realizing her schemes were fully exposed and there was no turning back, knew that no matter how much she tried to explain, Henry wouldn't believe a single word. Out of options and at the end of her rope, she let out a bitter laugh, "Yes, it was all me, meddling. Because Henry, you were supposed to be mine. I've wasted so many years on you; why should I have to watch her take you away from me! I've endured what others couldn't, strategized every move, all to get you to look my way, to get you to marry me! Only through obligation would you be devoted to me, but why... why have I ended up in this situation? Haha... I love you, but you, Henry... you've never loved me, I've always known. You're only fixated on that wretch, so, I won't let Olivia have an easy life either. If I can't have my peace, neither will you!"

"Ah-"

Olivia, fueled by rage, grabbed the twisted woman in front of her, venomously saying, "So what did you do to Sammy?"

Caught off guard and feeling a twinge of guilt, Sarah, upon seeing the despair on Olivia's face, smirked and taunted, "Oh, can't find your child?"

"Did you hide him? Give him back!" Olivia screamed, gripping her by the neck.

As Sarah was about to revel in her moment of supposed triumph, Henry stepped in, pulling Olivia away. Towering over Sarah, his imposing presence enveloped her.

"You have one minute to tell us where Sammy is."

Facing Henry's grim stare, Sarah felt a shiver down her spine. But she was clueless about Sammy's actual whereabouts, whether he was dead or alive. Under immense pressure, Sarah barely held herself together. Losing his patience, Henry called for his security, "Take Sarah to the operating room."

"Henry?" Sarah was struck by a sudden, overwhelming fear.

With a cold, merciless tone, Henry declared, "Sarah, you owe my mother a kidney. It's time to pay up."
