Unexpectedly, all those partners suddenly stopped the negotiation and chose to cooperate with other suppliers.
If it happened just once, Henry would not doubt it.
But it happened over and over again. Henry definitely knew that something must have happened or he had offended someone he shouldn't have.
Sure enough, only God knew how angry he was when he knew that Katie drugged Natalia, and provoked Archie.
But no matter how angry he was, Katie was his daughter, and he had to protect her.
He had thought that Natalia had asked Archie to do all these things, but to his surprise, judged from her reaction just now, she seemed to know nothing at all!
Archie had done so much for her, but she even didn't know anything... It surely indicated how important she was to Archie...
Henry didn't dare to think about it anymore. He felt a little regretful.
If only he hadn't let Natalia leave back then.
Maybe she couldn't bring any benefits to the Miller family, but at least the Millers would not have offended such a big enemy as Archie.
At the thought of this, Henry felt bitter. He persuaded humbly, "In that case, you probably don't know it, but it doesn't matter. You just need to go back and tell Mr. McCarthy that the Miller family has no intention of putting you in a difficult position. Please ask him to let us go. I will discipline my children from now on and won't let them provoke you again. You just need to say that."
Natalia was stunned for a moment, and then she understood.
With a smile, she said, "Okay. But you have to keep your word. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I can help you again if something should happen next time."
Henry hurriedly promised, "Yes, I understand."
Natalia nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll let it go. I gotta go now. You can go get her yourself!"
Henry smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Natalia."
Without saying anything, Natalia turned around and left.
When she left, she happened to see Katie being taken out.
As soon as she saw Natalia, she immediately rushed towards Natalia crazily.
"Natalia! You bitch! Stop there! How dare you send me to jail? I must kill you. I won't let you go. I won't let you go!"
With a sarcastic smile on her lips, Natalia took a look at her as if she were looking at a piece of trash. Without any hesitation, she strode away.
Katie was still cursing, but she couldn't get rid of the two policemen.
She roared, "Why are you catching me? You should catch that woman! She crippled four of my bodyguards. I haven't gotten even with her yet! Are you all dead? She has committed such a serious crime. Why don't you guys arrest her but come to make trouble for me? Shouldn't you follow the law?"
The two policemen were expressionless.
Hearing that, Henry felt a headache and couldn't help shouting angrily, "Shut up!"
Katie screamed, "No! Dad, you also just let her do whatever she wants! Have that bitch used some spells on you and my brother? Why did you let her go after she did so much to me?"
Henry couldn't stand it anymore and slapped her across her face.
Katie turned her head and looked at him in disbelief.
"Dad! You... You slap me?"
Henry gritted his teeth and said, "I think I should have slapped you a long time ago! I thought a girl should be doted on. Now I think it's just because I spoiled you too much that you become so rebellious!"
Looking at Henry's livid face, Katie realized that her father was really angry this time.
She immediately softened her attitude and cried, "Dad, I'm sorry. Don't be angry, okay? I'm just angry that she always bullied Jessica and tried to seduce my brother. I... I just want to teach her a lesson."
Henry didn't want to find out the reason anymore.
He rubbed his aching forehead and said wearily, "You can go abroad with your cousin next week! Stay there for a couple of years and learn something. Don't come back soon."
Katie's eyes widened.
"What? Dad, you're going to send me abroad? I won't go!"
Henry said in a cold voice, "You have to go this time, no negotiation!"
"Dad! Are you going to abandon your own daughter just for that woman? I won't go! I won't go even if I die!"
