Chapter 678

Instantly, Cindy doubted her eyesight. She stared at Henrick. "This... This is...?"

"Just as what's written on it," he said placidly. "I'm going to sell off Southall Group.'

As soon as he said that, Cindy fell into another gulf of self-doubt. Not only my vision has turned bad, my hearing has deteriorated too.

After what felt like an eternity, she snapped back into her senses. Immediately, she reviewed the documents once more for confirmation. Two minutes later, she found herself asking in a quavering voice, "Why? I can understand that you're sad about Mrs. Southall's passing, but you don't need to do this. If she were to see you giving up on yourself like this, I'm certain she'd be displeased."

"I didn't do that for Mom." Henrick shook his head. "The company has been in the red. The only profit comes from the branch office which manufactures high tech robots. However, the investment needed for product research before each launch is extremely costly. It's not worth it."

He added, "I plan to bring you back to our hometown and start anew there. We will sell off all of our properties here, keeping only the manor. So that we still have a place to stay when we return to Jadeborough."

Upon hearing his words, Cindy found it hard to breathe as though her heart was being wrenched repeatedly by an invisible large hand.

The main purpose of her marrying Henrick was to take over Southall Group. Never in a million years would she had thought of him wanting to sell it off!

I've wasted my youth for nothing? Oh Lord, what have I

"You... You..." stammering, she pointed a finger at Henrick.

He passed her a glass of water. "I know that you're very used to Jadeborough, and you probably can't accept this within a short span of time. But please know that I did this for you as well as our kid. The environment back home is so much better for you to spend your pregnancy there. Moreover, we don't need to put up with anyone there. If you're worried about the chores, we can relocate the housekeeper there too. Let's build a mansion bigger than this one. You can continue living

comfortably as Mrs. Henrick Southall."

"No, I don't want any of it!" Cindy broke down completely. She grabbed his collar while staring daggers at him with a pair of bloodshot eyes. "Henrick, you can't do this to me! Absolutely not!" Seeing her unexpected big reaction, Henrick was shocked to the core. He quickly consoled her, "Don't be so upset. Otherwise, it might affect the baby. Listen, I was thinking for our child..."

"I don't want to listen to you. I disagree, and I'll never say yes to this!"

Like a mad woman, Cindy struggled to break free from Henrick's arms. She yelled at the top of her lungs, "I'll divorce you if you sell the company!"

Henrick froze. After hesitating for two seconds, he called for his butler.

"Mrs. Southall's emotions are unstable right now. Please bring her back to her room."

The new butler acknowledged the command and promptly dragged Cindy away with the help from two bodyguards.

Feeling frustrated and crossed, Cindy was crying and screaming in her room. She really wanted a divorce. Left without an option, Henrick kicked the door open and bellowed, "Fine, I'll give you what you wish for, a divorce! Deliver the baby and then we'll go on separate ways."

After leaving her with a harsh sentence, the enraged Henrick stormed off. On his way out, he instructed the bodyguards, "Keep an eye on her. If anything untoward happens, I'll make all of you pay for it!" "Noted!" the bodyguards replied in unison and shut the door.

Cindy collapsed on the floor, wailing uncontrollably.
