Semua Bab Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Victor nodded and said no more. Madam Hemingway, however, asked, "Medical books are all very boring. How did you find them, Mr. Harris?""So-so." Charles wiped the sweat from the wing of his nose, walked up to Sophia, and extended his hand toward her. "It's getting late. Shall we go back?"Sophia glanced at his hand and quickly looked away. She then stood up on her own and was just about to say something when Aunt Lucy's room door opened."It's only nine o'clock. It's still early." Aunt Lucy walked out, wearing a smile on her chubby face once more. "Mr. Harris, you can't restrict her freedom even if you’re her boyfriend, right?"Charles said, “If this is a bar or KTV, then it’s still considered early. However, this is Dr. Hemingway’s house. Dr. Hemingway and Madam Davis still need to go to work at nine o’clock tomorrow. It won’t be appropriate for us to overstay our welcome.""You probably don’t know about our work-rest schedule, Mr. Harris," Aunt Lucy said belligerently, "We usua

James followed behind her and walked over, finally looking at Sophia without a cold look on his face for once. "You probably know your mistakes by now. You can’t stay outside all the time either. Listen to your mother and go home.""Know my mistakes?" Sarcasm was written all over Sophia's face. "Why did I do wrong? Why am I clueless?"Her words choked James so terribly that his complexion changed immediately.Marie leaned against the car and looked at the family with great interest."Soph, we can consider you young and impulsive back then when you hit someone with a car, but why do you still refuse to admit your mistakes even until now?" Jenny said exasperatedly.James harrumphed coldly. "Giving birth to a daughter like you is simply the greatest humiliation of my life!""Hah!" Sophia sneered. She did not count on her parents anymore and was not in the mood to say anything either. Hence, she turned around and got into the car.At the sight of this, tears welled up in Jenny’s eye

The reporters at the door were just about to ask something when several more reporters and photographers came over with cameras and microphones.Sophia did not know who these people were but she knew their company—Trust Sun, the news industry giant. The credibility of their words was nothing other reporters could compare to.Marie motioned to her subordinates with her eyes and someone immediately pulled out a bunch of papers, distributing them to the reporters at the door. "These are all Mr. Raymond’s recent accounts receivable records and photos of him meeting up with Mr. Phillips. I guess there’s no need for me to elaborate on what exactly happened, right?"The reporters’ expressions changed instantly."Oh, by the way, here’s an advice for you: the reporters from Trust Sun are here. They will report everything as it is, so don't put your reputation on the line for sake of petty profit," Marie reminded nonchalantly.Having said that, she turned to Ben, looking as though she was s

When the sound of footsteps vanished from the living room, Charles signed the document and closed the file. He glanced in the direction where Sophia left. There was a flash of darkness from the depth of his eyes.Beep—Beep—The phone that was placed on the table started buzzing, irritating anyone who heard it.Charles glanced at the caller ID, frowning almost imperceptibly. He did not answer the call. After a while, the same number called again. His eyes darkened and he answered the call."Your grandfather has stage four lung cancer. Everyone is in the hospital now except for you. I don’t care what you’re doing right now, get here immediately!" Mr. Harris’ sounded like a large bell on the other end of the call.After telling Charles the location of the ward, he hung up straight away.Charles tossed his phone on the table, then slumped on the couch and rubbed his eyebrows, looking slightly weary. He had not seen his grandfather lately and could roughly guess that something was u

The smile on Ted's face froze. "Charles, that’s not what I meant. I wasn’t trying to give you any dividends, I was just...""I thought you wanted to give me some dividends as a reward, that's why you said that you were sorry. Looks like I got the wrong idea." Charles cut him off. "If you have no plans to give me any money, then don’t say things like you’re sorry and whatnot. It can sound misleading to others."Other Harris family members listened to their conversation and most of them looked on with disdain and contempt.Ted’s family received the most benefits from the Harris family, but his family was also the stingiest.He did not know how to handle big things and enjoyed sticking his nose into other people’s business; he was more careful and detailed than anyone when it came to minor calculations and would always think that he was suffering losses. It was more difficult to dig money out of them than to pull a hair from a tiger.With so many eyes on him, Ted felt quite embarrass
