Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 212

“In your dreams!” Sophia stood in front of him, looking up at this father whom she had admired so much, and said with a low voice, “When I have no value to you, I’m simply brushed aside. When I have the value, you want me to be your daughter again…”

She clenched her fists and gritted. “James White, do you think it’s going to be as easy as that? Do you think I’m still the fool I used to be?”

“You…” James pointed at her with his finger, face pale.

Sophia grabbed his finger, forced it down, curled her lips and said, “With so many people around, aren’t you afraid I’d cause a ruckus and ruin your reputation?”

She no longer harbored any expectations for her biological father, but at the same time, she also did not wish for her brother and sister-in-law to be negatively impacted because of their father.

James stared at her with wide eyes, clenched his teeth, and pulled his finger from her grasp, his face flushed with anger.

“Besides, Charles is already looking in this direction. If you don’t leave now, do you think he’ll assume you’re bullying me or intimidating me?” Sophia said.

James glanced at the direction of her pointed finger. Charles was still surrounded by people but he was looking in this direction now. He was chatting with some people with a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes were slightly cool as he glanced at this direction with a trace of discontent.

In a sudden light bulb moment, James realized something.

There was one time when he thought that cooperation was a sure-win, but it was unsuccessful in the end. When his son caused trouble in the Dream Club, Charles made an unreasonable demand for the White family to purchase the piece of land in G City. And when the Harris Corporation auctioned that piece of land, they had refused to give it to the White family…

All these questions seemed to have an explanation at this moment…

In order to avoid Charles’ retaliation against the White family for Sophia’s affairs, he had deliberately treated Sophia coldly in front of Charles.

Before any of those things happened, he had also emphasized his attitude towards this rebellious daughter of his, strongly indicating the detachment of their relationship.

At this very moment, James realized many things and sorely regretted his actions. All the things he had done had caused him to lose everything!

“James, what’s wrong with you?” Jenny noticed that he had not moved for quite some time and his face did not look good, so she asked hurriedly, “Are you feeling sick?”

Sophia snorted, “Yeah, he’s sick. He’s delusional.”

“I’m fine.” Strangely, James was not annoyed at her words. On the contrary, he looked at Sophia with a sincere attitude, “As your parents, I know we have let you down. It’s our fault.”

Jenny had felt very uncomfortable when she saw her husband and daughter fighting these days. When she saw her husband admitting his mistake, tears welled up in her eyes and she choked back a few sobs.

“As for me, I don’t expect your forgiveness at once, but I’m still your father and you’re still a part of the White family. If you face any difficulties, feel free to look for me or your family members.” James sighed softly, reaching out to pat Sophia’s shoulder.

However, an expressionless Sophia stepped back and avoided his touch.

Just because she was useful to him, he had changed his attitude again. This made her feel disgusted.

James was afraid that doing too much would cause a backlash from Sophia, so he just comforted her with a few words like a benevolent father before leaving with a tearful Jenny.

Just before he left, he told his son and daughter-in-law to stay and help rekindle their relationship.

“Just ignore him!” With a sullen expression on his handsome face, Sterling rolled the wheelchair up to the table, picked up the champagne that Sophia had taken a sip from, and downed all the contents. “He’s treating you better because he saw that b*stard Charles getting closer to you!”
