Henry really believed what he said. He genuinely thought all of this was unnecessary.
In his eyes, now that I was doing well and had completely moved on from Irvin to be with another man, there was no reason for me to keep going after Julianne.
He thought that targeting her and making things difficult wouldn't benefit me in any way. So why couldn't I just be more forgiving and let everyone live in peace?
From Julianne's perspective, Henry believed I was being petty and that I shouldn't be holding onto the grudge. He completely ignored the fact that I had no reason to forgive her.
Julianne had tried to kill me more than once. Of course, going after her would benefit me.
Watching her get what she deserved would bring me joy. That would be the biggest benefit to me.
But I didn't bother arguing. I knew there was no point wasting time talking to someone so biased.
"If you want a compatible heart for your precious crush, you better hurry up and treat Ava. If not, she'll die first, and your son will be next," I said.
If he could use Ava to threaten us, then I could use the son he treasured most to return the favor.
Henry had just started to feel a little guilty toward me. But the moment those words left my lips, he completely snapped.
"Emilia! You seriously can't blame your mom and me for not loving you. Just listen to yourself! That's your brother, your twin brother!" he yelled.
I looked at him with a cold smile. "Why are you so shocked? Haven't you always said I'm vicious? Isn't it only natural for someone so vicious to hurt even her own family?" I asked casually.
Henry opened his mouth like he wanted to respond, but no word came out. After a long pause, he finally seemed to think of something to say, but I didn't give him the chance.
I called someone in and had him escorted out.
