Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 458

Everyone thought that Charles would at least reconsider his decision, but instead, he merely laughed gently and replied in an indifferent tone, “So what?”

So what?

Well, that would be the end of all of them, including him!

Did he really not care or was he just pretending not to?

A thousand thoughts went through Oscar’s head, and just as he was still contemplating how to respond, Ted spoke first.

“That would destroy the Harris family, and that would be all on you, Mr. Chairman cum President!!! Charles, you have always been an intelligent man. If you know what’s good for you, just pass on Harris Corporation to my son. We’ll give you your share of what you deserve, and if not, I…”

Bam!

A menacing look flashed in Charles’ eyes as he kicked Ted in the chest. “If you don’t do as I say, you’ll see Harris Corporation being investigated for conducting human experiments on the news headlines tomorrow!”

Oscar’s heart jumped at his words. “Charles, you…”

“Stop threatening me with Harris Corporation,” Charles interrupted him coldly, “I told you this before, as long as all of you mind your own business and let me do what I have to do, all my shares will be yours in time. Do you think I still care about any of this?”

If he still cared, he would not have offered to give up his shares in the first place.

Oscar tried to speak a few times but his words got stuck in his throat.

Ever since losing Sophia, Charles no longer had a weakness… They, on the other hand, grew one.

Ted climbed up from the ground abashedly, and with no other ideas, he turned his attention to Yvette. “Aunt Harris, are you just going to let Charles do this? If he leaks out the human experiment case to the media, all the shares in our hands will be worthless!”

In fact, worthless was an understatement.

If that happened, they would be lucky if they could still file for bankruptcy. If not, not only would they lose their dividends, they might be in debt as well.

“Ted is right. Charles is still young, he might just be blinded by love for now so he doesn’t truly understand what it means to lose all of this. As his mother, you can’t just watch your son throw his future away just like that, can you?” Oscar was desperate as well, and so he turned his hope to Yvette too.

However, Yvette did not even flinch as she replied calmly, “The shares are in Charles’ hands and they belong to him. I respect his decisions.”

She did not even hesitate for a second when she answered and her words were clear-cut. Oscar and the rest of them did not know what else to say.

Charles glanced at his blood relatives with a sneering look on his face. “I’m sure all of you heard what I said. I want to hear an answer from each and every one of you before my parents sign their divorce papers: Are you on the mysterious bigshot’s side or mine? Make your decision and stick to it.”

He was just thinking when to tell them this matter, and since they had served themselves to him on a silver platter, they saved him a trip.

Everyone was at a loss for words.

They had come over with the intention to check up on the second family, and perhaps help Alan put in a few good words if Yvette tried to take away anything of the Harris family’s.

After all, a Harris family’s heirloom should not be in the hands of some outsider.

Who would have thought things would turn out this way?

If they had known, they would certainly not have come over!

Charles stared at the strands of white hair tucked behind her ear, wondering when had her hair turned grey. He paused for a moment before he said, “He’ll be here soon.”

“Okay.” Yvette sat back in her seat and glanced at the door from time to time.

Soon after, Mr. Harris arrived.

He had spent the last few days accompanying Madam Jones and had not seen Charles, and so it took him a while before he could recognize which person was his son.

“Who allowed you to freeze my cars?” Mr. Harris’s expression was dark and stern. He wanted to buy a necklace for his precious, beloved woman, and yet, his card was declined… He had never felt so embarrassed!

Charles looked at him coldly. “Do I need anyone’s permission to freeze your card?”

With all his brothers watching right beside him, Mr. Harris felt even more flustered and his face flushed red in embarrassment. “You…”

“Shut up. I already asked someone to print out the divorce papers and they should be delivered over soon. I’ll unfreeze all your assets as soon as you sign the papers.”

The whiskey bottle was empty now, and Charles merely threw it on the floor before he rubbed his temples gently. His head was aching from the lack of sleep and excessive alcohol intake.

If this was just another day, everyone would have crowded around to watch this exchange.

However, how could they possibly have the mind to watch the fun when they could barely take care of themselves? Even hearing the words ‘sign the divorce papers’ made them anxious.
