Chapter 175
In the gang’s base of the Taibbi family, Zachary had just finished his exercise and was drenched in sweat as he walked past
the courtyard
“Mr. Taibbi said that outsiders are prohibited from trespassing of the courtyard. Don’t you understand?” A few lackeys guarding that place were somewhat angry.
Zachary glanced at them coldly and immediately saw Henry getting out of a black car and passing by the courtyard.
Henry’s face darkened. He acted as if he was ignoring Zachary’s existence.
Zachary clenched his fingers and stared at Henry fiercely.
Silas, who had been observing Zachary from the second floor, sed the corner of his lips. Then, he took the initiative to walk into the room and report to Spike.
There was no emotional change on Spike’s face. “You may leave now.”
No sooner had Silas left than Henry entered the door.
Silas sneered. He did not care about Henry at all.
As Spike’s most trusted sidekick, he would not treat Henry as a person, since Spike himself did not even treat his illegitimate child as a person.
Henry remained calm and sat opposite Spike. “Were you the one who asked someone to push Ashley down into the cellar?”
Spike had never imagined that Henry would be so forthright. He frowned and asked. “So what? Are you here to question
me
“Were you trying to warn me that this was what would happen just because I didn’t listen to you?” Henry looked at Spike calmly.
“I thought you should have learned to be obedient after all these years. Spike put down the pen in his hand.
“What do you want? Henry spoke straightforwardly.
“Transfer everything you have to Quinton Spike even prepared the contract. “Of course, I won’t let you lose everything. You can keep 15% of what you have. In addition, I will hand everything of Taibbi Corporation to you. You are more suitable to stay with me than Quinton.”
Henry wanted to laugh, but he managed to hold it back
He thought ironically. “Spike wants me to hand all the lawful wealth to Quinton, but gives everything unlawful to me instead. He must be thinking of using me as a scapegoat in the future so that Quinton can be at ease. What a good father he is! It’s so thoughtful of him. He feels so moved, he even looks like he is about to cry. A touching scene indeed!”
Spike looked cold in his eyes. This was his plan since day one. The old Henry used to be obedient and would listen to him. However, things were undoubtedly different now.
“What? Do you have a problem?” Obviously, Spike knew that Henry would disagree.
“You are so. You want me to give up everything I got just for Ashley’s sake? Henry sneered. “Impossible…”
“Be it Gibson Corporation, everything about Gibson Corporation, or Josie, they are all mine. Don’t ever think about them.” For the first time. Henry refused Spike directly.

Chapter 175
He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
He would do whatever it took
“Who does Quinton think he is? What makes him think that he can easily take everything from me?” Henry smiled ironically.
He was trying to provoke Spike.
However, Spike’s expression merely darkened. He did not say anything.
“The purpose of me showing up here today is to tell you that I have nothing to do with you and that woman who goes by the name Hazel. Henry lifted the corner of his lips and continued. “By the way. I have a gift for you.”
With that, Henry took out a few photos from his suit’s inner pocket and scattered them on the table.
They were pictures of Hazel having an affair with Silas, the most trusted subordinate of Spike.
Spike looked very angry indeed. His wrath was palpable.
Nevertheless, he still didn’t say anything and let Henry leave arrogantly.
This was just the beginning. He still had many ways to make Henry willingly hand over everything.
There were paths that he did not want to take, but the main thing was that Henry and the despised Hazel were testing his limit again and again.
“Mr. Taibbi, bad news! A rookie in our gang who did not know about the rules hid behind the door and ambushed Henry, Henry was injured. His assistant and bodyguard called the police. What should we do?”
Spike’s subordinates anxiously came in from the door to report,
Zachary sure was bold enough. He was trying to take Henry’s life
“Show me the surveillance footage. Spike stretched out his hand took over the tablet, and sneered.
The man named Zachary was certainly violent. He tried to deliver a fatal blow with the stick.
“Isn’t he wearing a hat? Find someone to change into his clothes. Do you get what I mean?” Spike asked in a deep voice.
The subordinate was stunned for a moment because he knew that Spike was trying to find a scapegoat for Zachary. “But… Mr. Taibbi, he’s just a rookie.”
“Do I need to explain to you?” Spike had nowhere to vent his anger.
He thought, “What a traitor you are, Silas!”
There were not many people whom Spike could trust to begin with. Silas could not stay anymore, so Spike had to find a new replacement.
Zachary hated Henry. Thus, he was the best candidate for Spike at present.
Meanwhile, Samuel and Henry were in Hofcaster Hospital.
Henry was seriously injured and was taken to the hospital.
When Quinton heard that Henry was attacked in the gang’s base he gloatingly rushed to the hospital to visit the former.
“Look what happened, my brother. I bet someone was trying to uphold justice,” Quinton sneered.

Chapter 175
Henry ignored Quinton Both sides were in psychological warfare now,
This is because none of them had anything on the other party.
Henry was forbearing and waiting for the opportunity.
The next move would depend on Zachary
Whether or not Zachary would be successful in getting the lethal goods on Spike would depend on whether he could gain the latter’s trust.
“Henry, if you divorced Josie in the first place and willingly gave her to me, you wouldn’t have had so much trouble.” Quinton walked to the side of the bed. Henry’s bodyguard and assistant stopped him.
“You two go out first.” Henry’s voice was hoarse.
The bodyguard hesitated but eventually walked out.
“This is what you owe me. You should give it to me, Quinton said as he lowered his voice. It was full of resentiment.
“I don’t owe you anything.” Henry shot Quinton a sarcastic look.
“Your existence itself is a sin. Quinton somewhat lost his control
He was the son of Spike, and his mother was Spike’s first wife.
Nonetheless, it was absurd that it turned out that he had an older brother.
Not to mention, his older brother was an illegitimate child.
How on earth could his mother accept this?
“You all killed my mom!” Quinton roared as he suppressed his emotions.
Spike killed your mother. Don’t use your weakness as an excuse you dared not blame Spike or go against him, but vent your anger on the others. You are so pathetic.
Henry criticized Quinton.
If Spike had not cheated on Quinton’s mother, she would not have died.
“Besides, when Spike was with Hazel, he still was not with your mother. Even though he knew Hazel threatened him with his child, he still chose to marry your mother for money and his future. Then, he even used all his means to force your mother. to death. You are merely a tool he used to pass down the family.”
Henry sneered. Spike was heartless.
Human nature was terrible and could not survive criticism.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think you can instigate me?” Quinton completely lost his control and grabbed Henry by his collar.
“Do you think that the reason he sent you abroad to train you in every way is that he values you? Perhaps you can try to see if he will give up on you if you have scandals that can’t be covered up and ruin everything he has accumulated for you.”
Henry deliberately provoked Quinton.
He had anticipated that Quinton would gloatingly show up in front of him if something happened to him in the gang’s base.

Chapter 175
He was making a wager that Hazel wanted to destroy Quinton to get revenge on Spike.
Otherwise, Jessica would not have stayed by Quinton’s side.
“Henry, don’t think you can drive a wedge by saying these. I advise you to use this opportunity and think about it. You should listen to my father’s words obediently and hand over all the shares of Gibson Corporation. This time, he only let someone hurt your head. Next time, he will kill you.” Quinton turned around and left after finishing his words.
