Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 387

It was Yvette calling.

“Soph, Charles is in deep trouble this time. Whoever reported the Harris Corporation to be involved in human experiments is a political rival of the Cox family, there’s nothing the Cox family can do. The Harris family already tried everything possible but it’s no use.”

Unlike the previous call, Yvette’s tone this time was much more solemn.

Sophia was completely leaning against the wall to support her body, her hands and feet ice-cold. “... There’s nothing the Cox and Harris family can do?”

How did the matter become so serious all of a sudden?

“Yeah. Aside from that, the Jones family is pestering the Harris family to help them. Otherwise, they would expose your Uncle Harris’ affair with that Lewis woman, as well as the news of Charles being arrested. They’re basically threatening the Harris family with dragging them into the mud as well.” Yvette’s voice was interlaced with disgust.

Sophia pursed her lips. The Jones family’s current situation was not optimistic, hence there was a high possibility of them doing something reckless. After all, why not smash the pot when it was already cracked?

The Harris family was in a tight spot as well. They were stuck in a corner with no means to advance nor retreat so they were forced to make a decision!

“You’re worrying too much, you should take good care of yourself and your baby.”

“I called you just to give you a heads up that the media and police might be looking for you. Answer any questions they ask and if you don’t know anything, just be honest and tell them, I’m sure they won’t trouble you too much.”

Yvette still had other things to attend to, so she quickly ended the call after giving Sophia advice and instructions.

Sophia stared at her phone screen that went dark, and she suddenly felt that everything before her seemed dark and everything looked fuzzy.

She kept trying to summon the fighting spirit Charles had just so she could fight alongside him in this battle, but the truth was that now that he was suddenly taken away, she had no idea what to do!

“What are you doing here standing outside? Aren’t you cold?” Sterling came out of the room with a seemingly crumpled cigarette.

He had never smoked before this, so after taking one puff on the lit cigarette, his eyes went red as he choked. Still, he did not put it down.

Not accustomed to the smell of the smoke, Sophia frowned and fanned the air. “Nothing, I’m just standing here for a bit, I’m not cold.”

Seeing her reaction, Sterling took another puff of the cigarette before putting it out as he coughed.

The brother and sister stared at each other quietly with thoughts running through their mind.

After a long moment, Sterling asked with an odd look in his eyes, “Your sister-in-law… I missed a call from Nicole just now but nobody picked up when I called back.”

“She… Did she… It’s not that I want to reconcile with her. After all the things she did, I don’t think there’s any way I can ever forgive her. I just wanted to ask if she called you?”

Sophia shook her head.

She was quite hesitant whether to tell her brother that there was a mild possibility that Nicole was being threatened to do these things.

However, if Sylvia and Nicole turned out to be working together instead of what she assumed, it would just be another devastating blow to her brother.

Sterling’s eyes dimmed as his expression returned to the same dull look as before. “Everyone always called me useless and stupid because I don’t know anything, but your sister-in-law had always praised me and motivated me.”

He gave a bitter laugh before continuing, “I can’t believe I trusted everything she said! What happened in the end? She threw me aside just like everyone else, and the one she truly likes is Charles…”

“Ster!” Sophia quickly interrupted him. “Don’t jump to conclusions about Nicole yet! Just give me… Give me three days and I’ll try to explain to you what’s going on with Nicole.”

Sterling’s eyes widened in shock. “What do you mean? Haven’t we already gotten a good judge of who she is?”

Sophia averted his gaze and frowned. “Ster, don’t ask me any more questions. Please just give me three days and I promise to tell you everything. I still have something to do, I think I’ll leave now. Take good care of Dad, and if you decide to go back to work, please get him a caretaker.”

Not giving him a chance to ask anything else, Sophia scurried out of the room and got on the elevator with her bodyguards trailing behind her.

It was quite chilly outside, and so Sophia pulled her coat tighter as she got into the car.
