Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 201

Sophia poured herself a glass of water and drank it. When she sat on the bed again, she felt considerably calmer now.

Beep—

Beep—

Her phone started buzzing.

Sophia fished out her phone and looked at the caller ID. She answered the call and said, "Nicole."

"Mm." Nicole said, "I heard that you’re looking for Master Lewis’ wedding invitation. How many do you need? Your brother and I have two. Take it first if you need it. If it’s not enough then I will find a way to get you the rest."

Sophia asked, "You’re giving me the invitation without asking me what I’m planning to do with it. Aren't you afraid that I would do bad things with it and get you and Sterling in trouble?"

"What are you afraid of?" Nicole harrumphed twice. " Mom and Dad will take care of it. Worst comes to the worst, I’ll just apologize if need be. Saying sorry won’t hurt. The most important thing is that you’re having fun."

"..." Sophia said, "Nicole, you weren't like that before..."

Nicole said, "I admit that I hated the way your brother handled things at first, but I realized now how great it is to have Mom and Dad to turn to when something happens—saves so much trouble!"

Sophia could not describe her feelings. "Nicole..."

Nicole was more or less helping her to take it out on her parents for doing this.

"Do you want to come over and take the invitation yourself or should I send it to you?" Nicole asked straight away, leaving her no time for sentimentality.

"No. Even if Mom and Dad come forward to handle it when it happens, it will still ruin your and Sterling’s reputation." Sophia said, "I will ask Charles to get me an invitation. I need to charge him interest for being his woman."

Nicole said after a while, "Soph, Mr. Harris will give you a hard time if you provoke him like that.”

"You’re overthinking it, Nicole. Charles misunderstood me and did so many unforgivable things to me. He won’t blame me no matter what I do now," Sophia said.

Actually, she had no idea how far Charles would go in tolerating her. She was only saying it so that Nicole would not be worried.

"Mr. Harris is a temperamental man. You will never have a clue what he’s thinking about, Soph. Just don't… go too far," Nicole advised her a bit more before hanging up the call.

Sophia clenched the hem of her shirt. She was about to put her phone away when a piece of news popped up from an app.

#Harris Corporation may press charges against Sawyer Phillips from Phillips Enterprises for framing Harris Corporation’s subsidiary company, Dream Club.#

She tapped on the news and scanned through. The news summarized everything that had happened in Dream Club today.

After giving a clear account of the incident in a very brief manner, the reporter introduced the long-standing grudge between the Harris and Phillips families, then delved into why Sawyer did what he did in an in-depth analysis. At the end of the article, he also listed out Sawyer’s offenses one by one.

Back then, there was already a lot of negative news about Sawyer, but the Phillips family had covered them all up, that was why everything had stayed so quiet.

This time, after only half a day or so, it had become the second most popular Weibo search after Harris Corporation fanned the fire. There was a lot of public shaming going on on the Internet directed against Sawyer Phillips and Phillips Enterprises.

The netizens did not think that things were serious enough as they sorted out all the negative news related to Sawyer and posted them on the Internet. Numerous exposé related to Sawyer written by people claiming to be Sawyer’s close friends or ex-girlfriends also emerged. No one knew if Harris Corporation had arranged it or they had done it simply for the sake of gaining popularity.

Sophia knew very well that Phillips Enterprises’ stock price would undoubtedly fall and might even hit limit down after what had happened.

Back then when she was still in school, she heard that someone was bullying Leah, so she beat that person up. Unfortunately, someone took photos of her and posted them online, claiming that she was bullying others at school.
