Just as everyone was anxious, Henry's voice quietly reached everyone's ears. "Who said that? Claire, do you despise yourself too much, or Mrs. Gu too much?"
It was obvious that the appearance of Henry had become a fuel to the rising atmosphere. Byron, who had been a little anxious just now, immediately found the feeling. He turned around quickly and held Claire tightly in his arms, threatening, "Mr. Henry, long time no see. I didn't expect to spend so much time negotiating with you."
Without saying a word, Henry stared at the three men in front of him, his face full of confusion. If he remembered correctly, he should not know these three men, right?
Byron's smile was obscure. He leaned forward a little and sneered, "Henry, I know you care about this woman. Don't dawdle. I believe you know why we came to you. As long as you give us the deeds of the house, we can return this lady to you. "
They didn't expect that Henry would really come here just for a woman. Or was it because those people around him put too much pressure on him that he had no choice?
Claire's eyes widened in surprise, "Henry, how could you... Why are you here? "
Didn't he abandon her? How could he come here at such a critical moment?
At this moment, David and Louis also came here. The two of them obviously knew something about the situation here.
In fact, the person who was the most nervous was not Henry, but David. Others might not know how important the title deed was to Henry, but he did!
David could tell that Henry had a special feeling for Claire, so he was afraid that Henry would agree. Once he promised these desperadoes, it would not be easy to take them back.
Even if the other party had agreed to let Claire go in exchange, they couldn't completely believe it. Killing people for money was already a piece of cake for them!
The silence of Henry was even more unsettling. No one could guess what he was thinking at the moment. Everyone was waiting for Henry's words.
He would either nod or shake his head. When he made a decision, there would also be people who would make appropriate sacrifices for this matter! And that person was Claire!
When Henry was about to say something, David took the initiative to get close to him regardless of the difference in his identity and persuaded him in an agitated voice, "Mr. Henry, you can't agree. The title deed is the most important thing Mrs. Kate left to you before she died. Once you give it to them, all the memories Mrs. Kate left to you will be gone! "
He knew what kind of existence Henry's mother meant to him. In Henry's eyes, family affection was more important than anything else. He couldn't let his only warmth be ruined by his impulse.
Henry clenched his fists, as if he was shaking because of David's words. After thinking for a while, Henry smiled with relief and looked at Claire. "I know. But Claire, don't forget that your life is mine. It's me who decide your life and death. It has nothing to do with others! "
Obviously, Henry had made up his mind.
Somehow, when Claire saw the firmness in Henry's eyes, she gradually calmed down. She took the initiative to smile and fixed her eyes on Henry. With a smile on her face, she said, "I just want to ask you... Have you ever loved me? Have you ever loved me, Claire? "
She couldn't figure out what this man was thinking about. He could have used her as a pawn before, but now he came back to save her. What kind of existence was Claire in the heart of Henry?
Henry slowly put his hands around his chest, shook his head and asked, "Claire, I've told you that I've been there all the time. Besides... Do you really believe that I will lose? I, Henry... I never do anything that I'm not sure of! "
Didn't Claire trust him too little? If he was not sure, how could he agree? Even if he really lost, Henry would make up for Louis at other costs. He didn't lack women, neither did Louis. What he wanted was just to take everything from Henry, which was clear to Henry.
