NovelEnglishChapter 256 Exhausted, Henry finally collapsed on the couch, the stick slipping from his grasp and clattering onto the floor. Only then did Mandy and Seline breathe a sigh of relief.
Henry's gaze fell on the jewelry pieces laid out on the table. In a fit of rage, he kicked the table and snapped, "Return all of it. Now!" Twenty million dollars-gone. How was he supposed to explain this to the company? The check had been issued under Yates Corporation's name. If this financial hole wasn't covered soon, Suzanne would use it against him.

Mandy, still nursing her wounds, feared another beating. Clutching her head, she quickly agreed, "Alright, I'll return them immediately." But a cold glint flashed in her eyes. She had finally gotten her hands on these jewelry pieces. There was no way she was giving them up so easily. And that old bastard Henry dared to lay a hand on her? He would pay for this. Seline wiped her tears and hesitantly asked, "Dad, what happened to you? Why are you so badly hurt?" Despite the seething hatred in her heart, Mandy masked her emotions and feigned concern, forcing herself to ask, "Honey, did someone attack you? Tellwho it was, and I'll make them pay." She stepped closer, gently touching Henry's bruised face with feigned tenderness. Irritated, Henry swatted her hand away. "Who else? It's that bastard, Frankie Lloyd!" He had been completely played. Twenty million dollars! Gone, just like that! Seething, Henry slammed his fist onto the couch, wishing it were Frankie's face beneath his knuckles. Seline instinctively reached to check his head wound, but the moment her fingers brushed against it, Henry sucked a sharp breath and roared. "Don't touch it! Are you stupid? That hurts!" Startled, she recoiled, tears welling up in her eyes again. "I didn't mean to..." Henry shot her a glare before wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his frustration mounting.
Mandy finally pieced things together. Henry's foul mood stemmed from being humiliated by Frankie. The Lloyds had always been more powerful than the Yates, and if Frankie had made a move, Henry was bound to suffer.
Despite her disdain for Henry, she still depended on the Yates family. If anything happened to him, she wouldn't benefit either.
Pushing past the pain, Mandy stepped forward with a look of concern. "Honey, if the Lloyds have made their move, we can't just sit back and take it. But those two aren't easy to deal with." Henry shot her an annoyed glance. "You think I don't know that?" Even with the slightest shift, pain shot through his body like fire licking at his bones, intensifying his hatred. One day, the Lloyds would pay for this! Mandy stiffened, clenching her fists tightly. That old bastard, Henry, was getting more arrogant by the day.

Seline, who had been silently observing, lowered her eyes in thought before Lloyds are don speaking. "Dadl, tha this because of what happened last time. If we push Suzanne into the fire, they'll take their revenge on her instead of us."
If that happened, Frankie would eliminate Suzanne for them. That wretched woman had been nothing ched woman but a thorn in her side, constantly interfering at the company and even trying to seduce Jenson. Henry leaned back, scoffing. "You think we haven't tried? And what happened? The Lloyds cafterinstead while Suzanne got away unscathed." They were like rabid dogs, fixated on tearing him apart while Suzanne walked free.
Mandy subtly tugged on Seline's sleeve, signaling her to stay calm Sha Seline grasped Mandy's hand before turning back to Henry with a determined expression. "We used the wrong approach last time. We can try something different." Henry glanced sideways at Seline, a hint of confusion in his expression.
