After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 734

Chapter 734 Henry’s Proposal

Susan hurried to turn around upon hearing that. Then she saw Manuel's white shirt stained with blood all over. She thought he was just sweating a few minutes ago when she was hugging him from behind in the darkness. Never did she expect it to be blood.

How came he was bleeding?

Before Susan could rush over, Henry fixed her.

"Susan!" Henry huffed seriously.

But Susan kept on struggling, "Let me go! I gotta check how he's going."

"What's your point to go for a check?" Henry dragged her away by force, "Now you gotta rest!"

"Henry, let me go!" Susan was pissed.

It was her very first time seeing Henry being so unreasonable. Regardless of her awkward relationship with Manuel, she had the right to care about his condition out of courtesy.

"Henry, I told you to let me go!" Susan shouted.

However, Henry simply turned a deaf ear to it. He was dragging her away.

"Henry!"

"I will be staying with you." Henry stopped to look at her with his bloodshot eyes.

Susan replied with a glare.

"I promise I will be with you for the rest of my life. I assure you that you will be free from danger." He stressed out in a cold voice.

Susan felt like he looked like a stranger to her at this moment. She then fell into silence, having no idea about what to say. Or perhaps it was time for them to make everything clear.

"I'll drive you home." Seeing Susan seem to chill, Henry took her hand to lead her away.

This time, Susan didn't struggle.

Hannah was right about that-a clear cut was needed between her and Henry, Susan asserted this time. Her indecision greatly accounted for the current situation, she reckoned.

As both of them were leaving, Manuel, who was watching their backs, couldn't help clenching his fists. As expected, it was nothing but the fact that Susan was merely throwing a tantrum, after which she would still return to Henry. There was no need for him to spend any more effort.

On her way home, both Henry and Susan remained silent.

She felt like the gap between them started to widen. A long distance and tough obstacle had been set between them already.

"Henry, let's talk." Susan suddenly suggested. This time, she had made up her mind. No more hesitation, no more room for her to flinch. Even though she could be possibly haunted by compunction because of Henry for the rest of her life, she still found it torturing to maintain the current relationship with him.

Henry suddenly brought her into his arms. Susan was surprised by him.

"Henry?"

"Susan, I was so scared!" Henry hugged her tight and interrupted.

"Henry, just let me go…"

Susan felt uneasy while wriggling. She found his hug a bit repellent, totally unlike the moment when she was hugged by Manuel.

"Susan, I can't afford to lose you. Do you know how scared I was when I got the call from the guard? What if the worst had happened to you?" Henry simply ignored what she was saying. He seemed to be still drowning in horror.

"Now I am fine. Just let go…" Susan struggled to break free.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

"Henry, just calm down, okay? I know you are feeling awful. But as time goes by, I am sure you can manage to forget about me. I used to be falling for you. But now I realize that I actually fall for Manuel. Nothing is unchangeable as time goes by. Love is no exception." Susan bent over to comfort him.

"No, never! My feelings for you will never change!" Henry shook his head to deny it firmly.

Susan's eyes were filled with tears as well. She knew how heartless she appeared to be at this moment.

"Sorry, Henry, I can't be with you."

Henry gaped at her in response.

"I will tell my dad to return you the shares. You are free to make your own choice to stay or leave Phillips Bank. Whatever choice you will make, I assure you that the fixed shares of dividend will always be transferred to you annually." Susan tried to maintain her composure.

She knew the more sadness she showed, the less likely for her to make a clear cut.

"You mean there will be nothing else between us but a trade with money?" Henry questioned mockingly.

Susan didn't respond.

"Are you gonna dump me after getting tired of me and fudge me with money?"

Feeling guilty, Susan knew it must be his distress accounting for his harsh words.

"Susan, don't you ever think about getting away from me so easily!" something vicious came across his mind.

The next second, he pinned her down on the couch. Then he started to kiss Susan and rip off her clothes.
