Chapter 220 Break Up

"Not too much" He smiled bitterly.

Of course, Susan could tell that he was lying. But she didn't intend to expose his lie.

Now she only wanted to win his trust, "Henry, whatever happens, I will never marry Manuel even if he's gonna threaten me. Our marriage should only be decided on our own. Even if I might be expelled from my family, it doesn't matter to me as long as you are with me. I swear I will never leave you."

Henry looked at Susan. At this moment, Susan did not notice the change in Henry's eyes. And there was also a trace of upset.

He smiled bitterly again, "Sorry, Susan, I flinched."

Susan stared at him with her eyes wide open. She felt like she had been flooded with shocking news these days and couldn't help doubting if there was something wrong with her ears. Or perhaps there was such a sudden change happening to everyone around her.

"Sorry, I am not that brave like you. I decided to compromise." He stressed out his answer.

"Compromise? What do you mean?" tears welled up in her eyes.

She gazed at him with tearful eyes, fearing that she would miss something important from his expression change.

"It's over." Henry continued seriously.

He didn't sound like joking. Besides, he had never joked with her.

Her face soon got overwhelmed with tears, "Why?"

"Because I don't want you to go in jail. Nor could I accept the consequence that you will lose everything because of me."

"I don't give a damn! If Manuel wants me to be in jail, just let it be. If he wants me to pay the price with my leg, I will do it as well! If he wants me to be expelled from the family, let it be! I don't give a shit!" "But I do!" Henry suddenly turned agitated.

A gentle guy like him suddenly threw a tantrum at her.

"Susan, you can never understand my feeling! I am an orphan. I know how bad it feels to be alone. I don't want you to experience the same pain as I have been through."

"But I am here with you. Right?" Susan looked at him expectantly. From her point of view, everyone else in the world had the right to convince her to marry Manuel except Henry.

If Henry chose to compromise, it would deprive her of the faith to insist.

"Sorry, I can't. I can't see you be in prison. I can't accept that you might lose either of your legs. I can't accept that you wanna marry me at the cost of losing your family." His eyes turned tearful.

"I am a coward. I can't let go of everything because of how I grew up and what I have experienced. Sorry." He added.

Of course, his great upset wasn't brought by his feelings for Susan. Instead, he lost what he was about to get. Never had he expected that Manuel would try such extreme means. He should have thought abou that. He remembered in Phillips Manor he once stumbled upon Manuel telling his friends through the phone that he was gonna chase after Susan back again. That was why he proposed to Susan as soon as possible.

However, he had already fallen in love with another girl. So he had no feelings for Susan. Instead, he only planned to take advantage of her. If it weren't because of Manuel, he would have proposed to Susan a year or two later.

He wished he should have married Susan before Manuel returned home. There was one thing he was sure about-Susan had deeply fallen in love with him. As long as he proposed, she would not hesitate to marry him.

However, all his efforts had gone. Of course, he didn't give up on his own initiative. And never would he do so. Last night, both Edward and Justine had come to him. As an exchange, he would be offered 20% of the initial share of Phillips Bank if he gave up on Susan. The percentage itself wasn't the point. Instead, he could also be entitled to be one of the shareholders.

From the very beginning, he got close to Susan based on the pursuit of the ownership of Phillips Bank. He could never refuse such a tempting offer. So he agreed. As he claimed, he decided to take the offer for the sake of Susan. Besides, he said he wanted to pay back the Phillips' cultivation.

After all, it was known to all that the Phillips had been cultivating his talent from the very beginning. He maintained a good reputation. So he had no alternative buf to give up on Susan.

Watching her painful look, he felt like his heart being stung a bit. Perhaps it was out of a sense of pity. Compared with the share, he would be more likely to take over the ownership after he married Susan. "I don't need you to be brave! I just need you to stay by my side. As for the rest, I will handle it." After recollecting herself, she said firmly. She could never accept that they would break up like that. Since their high school days, they had been in a relationship. From the bottom of her heart, she was sure that she loved Henry. Meanwhile, she had no feelings for Manuel.

She never felt her heartbeat running wild whenever facing Manuel. Not to mention that he was her stepbrother. Though sometimes she felt touched when staying with Manuel, she never felt like loving him. "Susan..." Henry seemed to make up his mind.

However, Susan suddenly wrapped around his neck to kiss him. She feared he would push her away. That was why she wanted to prove that Henry still loved her.

Henry was rendered a bit panic because of her sudden move. The next second, he pushed her away with full strength. Stepping backward, Susan glared at him, "Really?" Henry slightly bit his own lips.

Her heart aching, Susan asked, "Henry, our relationship is so vulnerable?"

"Sorry, I can't risk your life. Only your life matters. I won't risk your life even if I would suffer something worse than death." Henry insisted. "How can you tell that's not what I want? Henry, don't you think you're actually hurting me when you decide to break up with me?"

"You will replace out."

"No! Never!" Susan huffed, "Henry, you will know how much you have hurt me when you pushed me away. I will let you know how terrible I feel when you pushed me away."

After that, Susan turned around to leave. This time, she left without hesitation.

Watching her back, Henry couldn't help clenching his fists. His eyes turned chilling.

He swore he would revenge himself one day.

He would revenge on those who tried to manipulate his life.

He swore to God he would make them suffer.
