Henry looked at Grace with pleading eyes, "Mom, you're already at this age, why are you still chasing after so much? We have plenty of money, houses, and properties. Why can't you just live peacefully? If… if you're exposed, how will I ever face people and tell them you're my mother?"
Grace was stunned, her eyes gradually filling with a sense of sorrow. "Henry, I admit… I've done things that betrayed the company, but aside from that, I haven't done anything immoral."
Henry stared blankly at the mother he had always respected. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, his eyes filled with disappointment and pain. The mother who had always taught him to live with integrity was now justifying her actions so confidently after committing such wrongs.
"Mom, promise me you won't make any more mistakes, okay?" Grace, seeing the anguish in Henry's eyes, softened and tried to comfort him gently.
