Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 288

After hearing what he said, some of the more influential people in the meeting said—

"My schedule happens to be quite empty today. I don’t mind staying a while longer."

"I’m sure what Mr. Oscar says in public today will impact the company greatly. I’m all ears."

"I have to catch a plane in three hours. I still have time."

As for the rest, some of them remained silent, while some others echoed agreeable views.

Since most of them had said so, Master Harris had no choice but to sit down again.

"You must have put in quite an effort in private to persuade so many of them to cooperate with you, right, Charles?" Justin raised his fox-like eyes slightly.

Charles said indifferently, "Birds die in pursuit of food and human beings die in pursuit of wealth. Everyone is just cooperating for their own interests. What does it have anything to do with me?"

Justin unscrewed the lid of a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and whispered, "Charles, you know better than anyone whether this has anything to do with you or not. As brothers, though, I must remind you that grandpa won’t be pleased if you pull too many petty tricks in private."

"Was Grandpa ever pleased with me?" Charles asked.

Justin smiled. "Of course, Grandpa made you the president, isn't that an affirmation of your ability? It's a pity you messed up."

"Oh, so that’s affirmation to you? I don't need that kind of affirmation." There was a hint of irony looming over Charles' face.

Justin shook his head. "I thought you were quite clever at first, Charles, but now I just think you’re silly. There are so many women out there in the world, why must you ruin your future for one woman?"

After hearing what he said, Charles laughed. "Why do you think Grandpa prefers you then?"

Justin's body turned stiff; his complexion paled.

"It's all because of a woman." Charles said slowly, "Justin, what do you think would happen if you weren't the offspring of that woman, or if Uncle Ted wasn’t that woman’s offspring?"

Master Harris had married three women in total. Among them, his wife gave birth to Oscar and two daughters. His second wife set him up, climbed in bed with him, and gave birth to Mr. Alan Harris.

The third wife was Master Harris' favorite. She gave birth to Ted.

As for Aunt Jacinda who was now by his side, she had been his lover since she was twenty, but had never become his wife.

After hearing what Charles said, Justin’s heart fell with a thump as he asked with a sneer, "What do you mean, Charles?"

"Not much, really." Charles patted him on the shoulder. "Grandpa is looking at us. Let’s drop it."

Justin raised his head to take a look. Sure enough, Master Harris was looking in their direction with a look of displeasure.

"It is obvious that someone is framing Charles using the account book incident this time. I think we need to investigate this properly," Oscar said.

Master Harris harrumphed coldly. "Leave the investigation to the police. You don't have to worry about it. Is this what you want to talk to us about after making all of us stay back?"

"Of course not." Oscar said, "I’m talking about this because I want to ask you your reason for removing Charles as the president so suddenly. Was it because of the account book? If not, what was it?"
