It was only when people started calling them a good match that Henry realized he was already out of the picture.

Why Chase? He was never the one Wendy loved most. What gives him the right stand beside her? What gives him the right to spend Christmas with Wendy?

And he? He had to hide out in a house somewhere with his daughter, while even Larry got to visit the family. Meanwhile, he and Joy were left to spend this Christmas in cold isolation.

All of it made Henry sick to his stomach. It twisted into jealousy so intense it bordered on madness. He even started thinking about killing Chase. It wasn’t the first time the thought had crossed his mind.

Back at the Quinn Residence, that knife he used on himself was supposed to frame Chase. But if he had known that Wendy would eventually look back, he would have killed Chase instead. That blade should have been aimed at one of Chase’s vital organs.

He couldn’t let Chase live. He couldn’t let Mandy live either. He wouldn’t allow anyone else to hold an important place in Wendy’s heart.

“Well, since Chase is home, I’ll head out. Joy, say goodbye to Wendy.”

Joy still refused to change what she called Wendy, sticking to “Pretty Mommy.” Chase didn’t feel like arguing with a kid, so he stood beside Wendy with a smile and said goodbye. In return, he got a dramatic eye roll from Joy.

The bird’s nest on the floor was from a top–tier brand. Wendy glanced at it once and then kicked it toward the doorway. “Melody’s bringing gifts to Windwell Pharma Group in a few days, right` too. I wouldn’t dare eat anything Henry gives me.”

How the tables had turned. In the past, all the harsh words had been aimed at Chase; never once at Henry.

Chase wrapped his arms around Wendy and carried her back to the living room. For once, neither of them had work to do. They picked the most talked–about movie to watch together.

“Did you see the way Joy and Henry looked at you just now?” Wendy tossed a strawberry into her mouth and glanced sideways at Chase. “That was the first time Henry didn’t even try to hide it. He wants to kill you.”

If even Wendy noticed, then of course Chase did too.

He wasn’t worried. “If he’s got the guts, he can try. By the way, I heard you sent something to Shanelle a few days ago. Funny how she’s Joy’s birth mother, but Joy doesn’t seem to feel close to her at all.”

“I heard from Sammy that when Shanelle was in the final stage of her pregnancy, the Hudd family was about to go bankrupt, and her relationship with Henry had already fallen apart. Honestly, I get why Henry hates Shanelle.”

Shanelle symbolized everything humiliating for Henry. His marriage to her, even Joy’s birth, were all signs that Henry had no control over his fate. It was a power play from another member of the Harrison family. So Henry never loved Shanelle; he despised her.
