He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 492
Chapter 492: Chapter 492
Earl Klaus entered the penthouse, followed by Sarah, who was still being restrained by two men.
Unfortunately, no matter how much she struggled, she was no match against them, so she simply followed inside the penthouse.
Klaus sat on the sofa and looked at his daughter, who was still looking at him resentfully. His lips thinned, knowing he was to blame for what happened to Sarah.
"I don’t know what I did wrong until you turned out to be like this, Sarah. I feel ashamed thinking that I’d meet with my wife again in the afterlife, telling her that I’ve failed as a father," Klaus murmured.
Sarah’s mother, Nathalia, died when Sarah was only three.
Klaus didn’t want to remarry out of heartbreak, so he vowed to raise Sarah himself, hoping to be a good father who taught his daughter to be a great lady in the future.
And now he realized that he had failed.
"Don’t bring my mother into this. I fucking hate her," Sarah said.
Klaus’ eyes widened, "How could you say that to your own mother?! She loves you until her last breath!"
"And do I need to reciprocate her love?" Sarah sneered. "That woman is a lowborn. You married a commoner woman with filthy blood. That’s why I have to marry up. I have to be a Duchess so I can be a true noble. I did everything because you decided to be a selfish asshole!"
Klaus gritted his teeth, "What has gotten into you, Sarah Stone Lancaster? Did I ever teach you to care about this? There is no point in worrying about a noble title. There’s not much you can do with it anyway!"
"That noble title will make me a better woman than my mother will ever be! I will be a great lady praised by everyone!" Sarah yelled. "My mother must be rotting in hell right now because she doesn’t know her place as a commoner!"
Klaus had had enough of Sarah’s antics. He thought Sarah would eventually learn the error of her way, but looking at her reaction, it was fairly obvious that she wouldn’t change.
"Your mother was an amazing woman. She was kind and gentle. She was a great mother until her passing, and I will never forget how she told me to look after our daughter after her passing," Klaus recalled about his wife. His eyes began to pool with tears as remembering Nathalia reminded him of the good life he once had.
"And she was a commoner," Sarah rolled her eyes. "I don’t give a damn whether she was kind or whatever. The most important thing in this world is status. You cannot do anything without your status, EARL Klaus."
Klaus wiped his tears and said, "Put her inside her room and lock it from outside. She’s not allowed to leave until tomorrow when we have the earliest flight back to London."
Sarah glared at her father and said, "You will regret this, Klaus. I will fucking kill you in your sleep."
"You are not a kid anymore, Sarah. Stop acting like a child and take responsibility for your actions," Klaus replied.
He watched as the men pushed her into her room and locked it from outside so she wouldn’t be able to harm others anymore.
"You two should guard outside. Just in case Henry wants to kill her," Klaus said, as he knew Henry was still bloodthirsty.
They were lucky enough that Duke Henry didn’t unleash his rage on all of them because even Klaus wouldn’t be able to do anything if Sarah was killed by Henry.
Klaus glanced at Sarah’s room. There seemed to be no struggle from the other side, which was relieving.
He thought he had to tie her up so she wouldn’t escape, "I guess she has resigned to her fate."
Honestly, Klaus was also hurting when he treated his sweet daughter like this, but all the hard evidence Henry presented couldn’t be ignored, "I’m sorry, my sweet little princess. But this is for the best. I don’t want you to hurt even more people for your ambition."

Sarah had been sitting on the bed for the whole time. She kept checking the clock on the wall, counting every second.
She clenched her fists as she bore a grudge against her father.
"You pulled all of my support and said you would lock me up inside my room in the mansion for the rest of my life, heh," Sarah scoffed. "Dad, I am a woman of ambition. If I don’t get what I want, I will just bring everyone down with me, starting with you."
Sarah grinned as she waited until it was midnight. Then she got up, took a spare key from inside the drawer, and easily unlocked the door.
She opened the door slowly and peeked around to make sure that nobody was inside the penthouse. When she saw an empty living room, she was convinced that her Dad’s subordinates were guarding outside.
It might seem impossible to escape, but Sarah had a lot of ideas in her mind. Her ambition won’t be quenched so easily after all.
Thus, Sarah went inside her father’s room and saw Klaus sleeping soundly on the bed under a dim light.
Sarah raised her brow and muttered, "I thought I should’ve kept you alive since you’re my father. But I know if I let you off right now, you will help Henry to catch me again. I’m sorry, Dad, but you’re a pest for me right now."
Sarah went to the kitchen, grabbed a sharp kitchen knife, and returned to her father’s bedroom.
She approached the bed and sat next to her father.
Sarah aimed the knife right at his chest and stabbed his heart without mercy.
"Urk!" Klaus opened his eyes instantly when he felt that sharp pain. He saw his daughter looking at him with a smirk, then looked at the knife planted on his chest.
"Sa...rah?" He called her name, confused of what was happening.
"It’s your fault that you’re not useful anymore, Dad," Sarah said as she made the second stab in his throat and let him die on the bed.
