Thump !
He had fainted.
“Jaylin!” Melissa hurried to his side, sobbing hysterically.
“Someone, call an ambulance! Call an ambulance right now!”
Brayden obliged, though he didn’t feel any urgency to do so. Jaylin’s fall seemed to snap Henry back to his senses, but he didn’t care about his father at all.
Instead, he lunged in Lydia’s direction. Unfortunately for him, Brayden was faster. Brayden blocked him before he could even get close.
“Lydia! You bitch! You set me up, didn’t you?! My gambling away the shares was all part of your plan!” Henry flailed against Brayden and tried to get past him.
“Lydia, I am your brother! How dare you set me up and make me lose so much money in the casino?! How would my loss even benefit you, you bitch?! Answer me!”
“Well, for one thing, I won’t have to be controlled by you or Dad anymore. For another, I’ll get to decide on my own marriage. More importantly, though…” Lydia plucked another document from Brayden’s hand and held it up to Henry’s face.
“The Phillips Group was teetering on the edge. It’s thanks to me and the contract I signed that it’s still standing as we speak. I think I’m justified in saying that I am more suitable to lead the company than either of you.”
Henry skimmed through the document, his eyes widening at every word.
“How can this be?! How did you get your hands on these shares?
That’s impossible!”
Lydia smirked at them.
“Never mind that. The point is that if you kept possession of the Phillips Group’s shares, you’re bound to Lose them sooner than later. I currently hold 42% of the company’s total shares, which makes me the biggest shareholder.”
Henry turned manic. He grabbed his own hair and began to mutter under his breath.

“No, no, no, no! It can’t be! You bitch! You are lying! How could you have the shares! You lied to me! I will kill you for that!
You’re dead!”
He tried to hit Lydia again, but Brayden restrained him with little effort.
“One of them fainted, and the other one has gone crazy. What should we do with these people?”
After enduring so much, Lydia’s hesitation had faded.
“Didn’t you call an ambulance? One needs to go to the hospital, and the other… should be sent to a psychiatric facility.”
Once everything was settled, she observed the ambulance driving away.
Standing beside Lydia, Hannah remarked, “I thought you would have mentioned that Henry was with Estrella.”
