Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 473

Charles scoffed as coldness returned to his eyes. “You laid a finger on my woman, I’m just paying you back for everything you did. It’s as simple as that, isn’t it?”

“I thought you were smart enough not to meddle because you’re aware of the cost. After all, making a move on me would cost you tremendous losses as well and it’s just not worth it,” Mr. Zellner replied.

He would make sure that Harris Corporation would be exposed to the public for being involved in human experiments before anything happened to him. Then, the Harris family would suffer as well.

Charles tightened his grip around his phone and said sternly, “Just because you don’t think it’s worth it doesn’t mean I think so too.”

To him, Sophia was worth it. Sophia was worth risking everything for.

Seeing that Charles was unfazed by material interests, Mr. Zellner decided to try another approach. “You’re just as sentimental as me. My wife passed away at the age of thirty from breast cancer and I haven’t remarried since. I just couldn’t bring myself to move on because I can’t anyone else.”

“I understand better than anyone how it feels to lose someone you love and I promise you, I have never thought of hurting Ms. White. Whether you believe me or not, I need to explain this to you. Mr. Harris, your grandmother, and Leah Jones were the ones who plotted Ms. White’s murder, I truly didn’t know anything about it.”

Charles merely snorted. “Breast cancer? Are you sure you didn’t kill her because she was threatening to expose your love affairs?”

Silence.

Mr. Zellner did not respond.

After a long pause, he let out a heavy breath. “No wonder everyone compliments your intelligence. Mr. Harris, I never wanted it to turn out this way but you forced me to be ruthless.”

Charles replied in an indifferent tone, “Mr. Zellner, your ability to twist rights and wrongs around is truly admirable.”

If Mr. Zellner had not set his target on him and Sophia in the first place and forced them down this road, none of them would be in this situation!

Mr. Zellner chuckled. No longer backing down as before, the fawning tone in his voice was gone this time. “Mr. Harris, do you think that you have already won?”

Charles’ expression was rigid as he kept quiet, and he lowered his hand from his ear, ready to end the call.

Right then, it was as if Mr. Zellner could sense that Charles was about to end the call and quickly said, “Mr. Harris, do you know that Sophia is still alive?”

How did he know that Sophia was still alive?

How did he find out about something she had hidden from everyone including himself, her brother, and sister-in-law!

Charles’ Adam’s apple bobbed as his eyes flashed. A sense of uneasiness rose to his chest.

Mr. Zellner continued, “Mr. Harris, you’re very quiet. Do you not believe me?” He chuckled and continued in an amiable tone, “What a coincidence, Ms. White has come to pay me a visit. Mr. Harris, would you like to join us?”

“!” Charles’ eyes widened as his eyelids flickered uncontrollably. “Sophia is already dead, her brother himself sent her body to the crematorium for cremation.”

He could not tell whether Mr. Zellner was trying to deceive him or if the man really was saying that Sophia is still alive.

Sterling could not hear what Mr. Zellner was saying, but judging from Charles’ responses, he had somewhat of an idea what the conversation was about and his face paled as well.

“I understand what you’re thinking, Mr. Harris. It’s quite hard to think that the dead can come back to life, isn’t it?” Mr. Zellner paused for a short moment before continuing, “Do you remember Ms. Scarlett Griffin? The young lady paid you a few visits just recently, I’m sure you remember her.”

The frown on Charles’ face deepened. It seems that Mr. Zellner knew quite a lot too since he mentioned Scarlett.

The man’s words only confirmed his suspicions. “You saw the car crash site yourself, how can the jade pendant and letter remain unscathed amidst it all? There is only one possibility —— the letter was written post-accident, and the jade pendant was just not at the scene of the accident at the time.”
