Now that he was already at this point, he knew Vernon was right. There was no way in hell Henry would allow another man to stay in Kate's heart.
He didn't care if people would call him selfish or greedy, but he might do something very dangerous or even downright psychopathic if he saw another man right beside Kate.
He glanced at his cousin and wondered if he had the same idea. After all, Vernon claimed their brains were wired similarly. They must've had similar ideas about a few dangerous things.
Vernon finally shifted his gaze to Michael, who kept silent the whole time. He also looked defeated, but Vernon couldn't really blame Michael because he was only following orders from Henry.
"And for you, Michael…" Vernon said, and Michael turned his head towards Vernon. "I know you also regret involving yourself in this mess. But I can't exempt you from responsibility as well. You must stay by Henry's side to assist him even in his darkest days."
