Now, with the project presented to him, Henry had obliterated its chances. Jaylin seethed with fury!

“Why must I bear the burden of such a worthless son like you?”
Henry refrained from talking back, his voice hushed as he said, “I didn’t know about the project she wanted to discuss… It’s not entirely my fault…
