He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 512

Kate finished her business and then freshened up in the restroom mirror. Today was exhausting, but she was satisfied that she finally got the wedding dress she wanted.

Lord George told her that she could use the dressmaker who had been working with the Duchy for generations, but that would ruin the surprise because Henry would definitely ask about the details of her dress and jewelry.

So she went with Chloe instead.

As Kate finished her touch-up, she walked out of the restroom and saw a man wearing a hoodie, looking down at his phone while leaning on the wall in the corridor.

He looked suspicious, but Kate tried to ignore him and walked past him.

Unfortunately, the moment she passed him, the man grabbed her arm tightly and pushed her to the wall.

Kate gasped, and after she realized what would happen, she opened her mouth, ready to scream.

The man quickly covered her mouth and pulled out his hoodie, "Relax, Katherine. It’s me..."

Kate was stunned when she saw Graham Hubbard, who looked haggard as if he had been through a difficult time.

He looked exhausted and depressed at the same time, which made her wonder what happened to him after they had simply lost contact for a long time.

"G—Graham? How could you—wait, let go of me first," Kate asked. She tried to pull her hand away from Graham, but the latter didn’t let go.

"Katherine, I’m here to help you," Graham said.

"Help me? What do you mean? I don’t need help at all," Kate refused. She continued struggling to no avail. "Damn it, I will scream if you keep holding me like this!"

"Listen to me first, Kate," Graham said solemnly. "Henry has taken over everything that I have. He ruined my law firm and forced me to go through a lot of difficult situations. I wasted all of my money to fight him in court for ridiculous things that he threw at me. All because he doesn’t want me to reach out to you."

Graham was living in literal hell on earth right now. He didn’t expect Henry to threaten those politicians to help him so he could put Graham in jail for bribery, conspiracy, fraud, and obstruction of justice.

He lost everything in three months, and now he had exhausted all of his savings just to save himself from jail time.

Graham knew that monster didn’t want Kate to meet him, so he decided to discard all the fears that he had to reach Kate.

This was his only chance to save his loved one before she was tied with that bastard for the rest of her life.

"That man is a scum who will hurt you, Katherine. He ruined my life because he saw me as a threat, so I will have to tell you everything before it’s too late," Graham said. "And hopefully, you will listen to me."

Kate stared at Graham, who had lost his luster after almost three years. She didn’t know what was in Graham’s mind but knew it must be another slander towards Henry.

"I think you need to let go of the past, Graham," Kate said coldly. "Are you going to be a parrot that says the same thing over and over? That Henry wants to hurt me and take my son?"

"But that’s the truth!" Graham insisted. "You heard his conversation with his father, so you know how much of a scum he is!"

"It was a misunderstanding. He told me everything," Kate said. "And you should stop with that old narration of yours. Henry and I will marry soon, and we are happy with our lives right now."

"You have been brainwashed, Kate!" Graham said desperately. "Even if that old man is dead, Henry is still a scum! He will betray you somehow. Maybe he will cheat on you."

"He will not do that," Kate replied firmly. "I know him, and I know he is not that kind of scum."

"You—"

Graham was speechless by how stubborn Kate was.

"Do you realize that he is a murderer? He’s the one who murdered his father. He murdered Sarah and Erin as well. Can you marry a man whose hand has been stained with blood?" Graham asked. "I know you’re not an idiot, Kate."

"I think you don’t seem to understand that I am the one who staged the trap to put my sister in a frozen wasteland and put my mother in a retirement home for the rest of her life," Kate said coldly. "Do I regret any of it? No, because I deem it necessary, just like how Henry killed those people. They are necessary sacrifices, including you, Graham. I believe what Henry did to you is also a necessary sacrifice."

"You... you have been influenced by that bastard," Graham’s eyes darkened. "It’s because you gave birth to his equally bastard son. You need to get the hell away from them. I will help you escape. We can go somewhere remote and live there for the rest of our lives. I will—"

PA!

Graham was caught off guard when Kate suddenly slapped him. His brain stopped working for a moment, trying to comprehend what just happened.

"Don’t you dare to call my son a bastard, you piece of shit," Kate turned hostile instantly. She had no fear against Graham, who was physically stronger than her. "I gave birth to my son and raised him with love. You have no right to slander him with that dirty mouth of yours."

Graham finally discarded the last remaining kindness he had. He looked down at Kate like she was a dumb dog that needed to be punished.

"That boy looks exactly like his father. He will turn into a scum just like him. You should’ve aborted him back then," Graham said coldly. "Or even better, you can kill him now. Then we can run away together."

"You—!" Kate raised her hand again, ready to slap Graham for the second time.

But Graham quickly caught her wrist and held it tightly until she couldn’t move.

Graham leaned down and whispered obsessively, "You don’t seem to understand, Kate. I gave up everything for you, so I want you to run away with me, or we will die together."
