Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 463

Master Harris was immediately reminded of the stupid things he had done: He had been paving way for his b*stard children!

His expression darkened, and without replying to her statement, he frowned and said, “Charles is extremely smart, it’s practically impossible for someone to use Harris Corporation to launder money right under his nose!

“To be exact, they’re not trying to split you and Charles apart, but Charles and the woman he loves. It doesn’t matter who the woman is, their goal is to hurt him through hurting the woman to distract him. Then, they would have a window of opportunity to do whatever they want to.

“But I think they’re taking a step back now because Charles has been keeping an eye on their movement, and that’s why they decided to start helping Jones Group. Their plan now is to wait for Jones Group to recover before they leak the human experiment news to the press. Then, the Harris family would be destroyed and Charles would lose the strength and powers to go against them.

“Do you understand now?!”

If she still did not understand the situation after this hefty explanation, he really doubted her intelligence!

“... I understand now,” Sophia was stunned for a moment before she answered.

She had encountered many hardships in the past but at the end of the day, she was just a young lady who recently turned twenty.

The most complex problem she had experienced so far was the car accident Leah set up two years ago and Leah’s attempt in scheming White Industries not long ago.

However, in comparison to what she was facing now, these two were just child’s play.

From the moment her mother was induced to commit suicide, she, the White family, and Charles had been taking every step according to the person’s plan.

—— This person was truly powerful.

So the ultimate goal for all this was to launder money.

She could not help but suspect whether this person was a deputy minister or minister… or perhaps someone even higher-ranked.

Just the thought of this made her shiver.

“Then… what about the human experiments?” Sophia licked her lips. She had yet completely recovered from the shock, and so her mind was still a mess.

Master Harris’ eyes dimmed. “It’s none of your business, you don’t have to worry about it! Now that you understand everything, will you agree to help me out?”

Worried that she would reject him again just like before, he quickly added, “Just think carefully before you answer me: Since the person is capable of doing so many elaborate things, it’s safe to assume that they’re not just an ordinary person. Charles will be fighting against extremely overwhelming odds and on top of that, he’s dead serious about avenging your death. Do you think this person would just let Charles off the hook so easily?”

Someone with a position so high would certainly not want to keep any possible seeds of future danger.

If it was him, he would not leave Charles, a rival who was young and with great potential, and he believed that this person was the same!

Sophia furrowed her brows. Even a slight movement as such pained her, but she merely shrugged it off. “I’ll have to think about it.”

“What’s there to think about? Isn’t everything I have said clear enough?” If it was not for the fact that he could not do it himself, he would never come to her for help.

She was too dumb and slow!

Sophia was already used to his tone, and so she did not take it to heart. “From what you just said, this person must be incredibly powerful. If I slip up just one time, he’ll find out that I’m still alive, and I don’t want to become Charles’ weakness again.”

Master Harris scoffed. “Do you think I would be so stupid that I didn’t realize this? You don’t have to worry about this, I’ll sort it out for you. Just rest well for the next half a month and get ready to see Charles.”

-

At Bamboo Virtues Village.

It was two in the morning, yet Charles was still drinking in the living room, His eyes were bloodshot and the unshaven stubble on his handsome face had wine stains. Empty bottles were scattered all around him on the living room floor as he sat on the sofa.

There was a piece of paper amidst the empty bottles.

Perhaps so.

-

Mr. Harris could not be bothered with what was going on with the Harris family as he happily brought Madam Jones, who did not seem to match his level of enthusiasm, and left for their honeymoon.

Nevertheless, he showed no sign of severing his relationships with his other mistresses, as well as his illegitimate children.

Just like that, the four of them settled a problem that had been bothering them for almost half their lives within two days.

Meanwhile, Charles putting everything he had earned throughout his life at stake in the pursuit of having everyone he knew to find out who the mysterious bigshot was not making any progress at all.

Ever since Sophia’s funeral, it had been almost half a month and yet, nobody had made any progress!

Jones Group, on the other hand, was slowly on the path of recovery after accepting the projects offered by the government.

Everyone had gone back to life as before. It was as if Sophia’s death had not happened at all.

Even Sterling and Nicole seemed to have moved on from the grief caused by their sister’s death. Sterling was back to work as usual while Nicole stayed at home with the kids, and they never talked about Sophia anymore.

Charles was the only one whose life had changed. He stopped working and retired to drink all day nowadays. Whenever a Harris Corporation employee brought him up, they would immediately be reminded of Sophia’s tragic death.

Charles was still drinking when the doorbell rang. He did not even look over as he simply threw the empty bottle aside and picked up another new bottle before taking a swig straight from it.

The doorbell rang for a while before it stopped. The beeping sound of the digital door lock sounded, followed by a click, and the door opened from outside.
