My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 422

Chapter 422: Henry Pleaded
While in East City, at Isaac Donovan’s house, Henry Donovan stares sharply at his Grandpa.

However, even when he shows his annoyance, his Grandpa completely ignores him, causing him even more frustration.

“Grandpa, please help me, please! Ask Aunty Emma not to fire me. How could she do that after taking over the company? Did she forget I’m her nephew!?”

Henry pleads again; this is his fifth time, but still, his Grandpa ignores him.

Instead of helping Henry or offering him kind words, Isaac Donovan scolds him.

“Henry Donovan! Stop talking nonsense. I can’t help you…”

Henry is left speechless.

What on earth is happening here? Everything seems odd!

Last night, his father completely shut himself in his bedroom, alone. His father refused to meet when he tried to reach him to talk about the company.

When he tried to speak to his father again this morning, the maid said he had already left the house. They also didn’t know where he had gone.

Henry tried to call him, but to his surprise, he found out that his father had left his cell phone in his study room.

He was even more shocked when he found a letter from his father, saying goodbye to him through the letter and mentioning that he would go to a remote place and didn’t know when he would return.

Henry initially believed his father had left to search for his missing mother and avoid dealing with the company matters.

…

Henry was still shocked by his father’s sudden departure, but something else surprised him even more.

When Henry arrived at his office this morning after his extended leave due to injury, he was shocked to learn that the company had fired him.

It was difficult for Henry to believe, but the new employee who had taken his place handed him the termination letter. He was surprised to see that the new CEO of Donovan Group had issued the letter, and when he saw the name, he felt almost choked.

How could he not have known that the new CEO was his aunt, Emma?

Two days ago, Henry heard rumors that there was an impromptu shareholders’ meeting with the agenda of removing the company’s CEO. However, he did not believe the rumors.

Today, everything unfolded, and it turned out that his uncle was indeed replaced.

And the new CEO is none other than his aunt.

Henry never imagined this would happen; his aunt fired him. He didn’t understand why his aunt had fired him.

He couldn’t recall having any issues with his aunt that would have led to his dismissal.

Eager to find out why, Henry attempted to contact her by phone, but his aunt didn’t answer.

When he tried to visit her at the main office, the security stopped him before he could reach the CEO’s office, which stressed him out immensely.

Realizing he couldn’t meet his aunt, Henry hurriedly went to his Grandpa’s house.

Unfortunately, his attempts to reach his Grandpa seemed to be in vain, as his Grandpa also ignored him.

Henry stood from his seat and kneeled before his Grandpa.

“Grandpa, please,” Henry pleaded. He couldn’t afford to lose his job because he had a lot of bills to pay, and his father no longer gave him money.

“Heaven!! Henry Donovan, stop pleading with me. I cannot help you, my child… I can’t,” Isaac Donovan said sadly. “You know, I’m no longer involved with the company. I’m too old to handle company matters!”

Isaac Donovan could see the fear and worry in Henry’s eyes. Still, he couldn’t help because Emma and Archy handled all the company matters.

“I understand, Grandpa. But, can you ask Aunt Emma why she fired me without warning?” Henry pleaded with a trembling voice.

“Go sit first, then I will call your aunt…” Isaac Donovan said.

Henry nodded and immediately stood up. After sitting down on the sofa, he urged his grandfather to call Emma. He was tense, waiting for the phone to connect, but it was unanswered until the last ring.

‘How could Aunt Emma also ignore grandfather’s call, too!?’ He was shocked beyond words.

Henry’s shoulders slumped.

Countless questions began to fill his mind.

While squeezing his hands tightly, he tried to find the answer to every question now dancing in his mind.

What exactly is going on?

Why did Grandpa, Dad, and his uncles suddenly have no power over the company?

Who actually allowed Aunt Emma to replace his first uncle?

“My child, Henry, you see now, right? I’m also powerless…” Isaac Donovan said. He smiled slightly when he saw Henry’s disappointed expression.

“Grandpa…”

Isaac felt bad witnessing the confusion flash through Henry’s eyes.

“Henry, your aunt is busy with her new job; she won’t answer my call. I will try to call her later…”

Henry’s fists clenched tighter. He didn’t rush to express what was on his mind, but he now stared at his Grandpa in the eyes.

Before coming here, Henry thought his grandfather had decided to replace his first uncle as CEO and hand the position over to his aunt.

However, Henry believed him after hearing and seeing his grandfather deny it.

Something made him even more curious: Who was the person behind Aunt Emma?

After a while, when Henry feels no longer as disappointed as before, he finally asks, “Grandpa, do you know who gave Aunt Emma the power to remove my first Uncle from the Company?”

Isaac Donovan was taken aback by Henry’s question. He frowned, “Why did you ask? Your father didn’t tell you?”

Henry let out a deep sigh as he shook his head.

“No, my father didn’t tell me anything. And he’s been acting strangely lately. Last night, he refused to see me. Then, this morning, I discovered from his maid that he had left the house bringing nothing but clothes he wears, and no one knows where he is now.”

“What do you mean your father left, and now no one knows his whereabouts? How could that be possible?” Isaac Donovan was confused.

“I don’t know what to tell you, Grandpa. He just left me a note saying he won’t return anytime soon. And the most bizarre thing is that he left his cell phone behind, which had never happened before. And now I couldn’t reach him…”
