Chapter 65
Richard was still angry and he trembled.
Harriet waited for a while. She didn't ask questions until Richard calmed down
Before asking questions, Estella and she looked at each other. They totally understood what should not say after exchanging knowing looks.
They had not mentioned that Arya had been out of prison as if they knew nothing about it.
They listened to Richard quietly. He was explaining what happened today, for which he fainted out of anger.
It must be a big deal.
Estella patted Richard's back. After a long time, he slowly calmed down.
"Arya hasn't been back since she got out of prison. Somehow, she hooked up with Xavier and got shares of the K&T Inc. She forced me to quit at the Shareholders Meeting today.”
Estella opened her eyes wide in shock. She could not believe that Arya had anything to do with Xavier.
Harriet was shocked as well.
But what shocked her was different from Estella.
She had always known that Xavier had a relationship with a woman, but she had not found any solid evidence.
What shocked her was that the woman was Arya.
"I really regret not strangling her when she was born. Now she has the chance to irritate me.”
As soon as Richard mentioned what happened today, he flew into a rage.
He became angrier when he thought about losing face in the company due to his unfilial daughter. Estella collected herself. "She must have hooked up with Xavier on purpose. She wanted to sabotage Xavier's relationship with Harriet. If the Jones Family knew it, Harriet's marriage will be canceled.”
In a sense, it was incest.
It was a scandal that Harriet's fiancé and Arya were in a relationship.
"No way!" Richard was furious.
"That's right. It's vicious of her to seduce her future brother-in-law. After all these years in prison, she hasn't changed. She should be back to prison to learn a lesson.”
"Mom, what's high on the agenda is how to solve the current problem.”
Harriet was calmer than Estella.
"She has so many shares, and the shareholders are supporting her now. It's impossible to turn it around.” Richard was thinking about the company.
He couldn't bear to quit.
But Harriet and Estella were concerned about Arya and Xavier's relationship.
Would Arya affect Harriet and Xavier's marriage?
Also, how far did they got?
Did Xavier know about what Arya had done?
Estella found an excuse to ask Harriet out so as to discuss the countermeasures.
They walked to the stairwell and looked around. Estella said until there were no other people, "You didn't know anything about them?"
Harriet pursed her lips and did not say a word. She was not a fool. She knew that Xavier had changed.
She just didn't expect that the woman should be Arya.
"As long as Xavier doesn't know that it was her that night, you still have a chance. And even if Xavier knows it, I can destroy her."
She had the video which she had spent a lot of money on. If Xavier knew it, she would post it online. And Arya would be too shameful to live.
"Xavier definitely doesn't know about her past,” Harriet said for sure.
If Xavier knew it, he would point it out directly.
Harriet seemed to have a good idea. She couldn't help but smile. "Mom, I have an idea. As long as Xavier doesn't know it was Arya that night, I still have the chance.”
Seeing that her daughter knew what to do, Estella smiled in relief. "You're my daughter. I knew you wouldn't let me down. Xavier is your fiancé and no one can sabotage your relationship.
Her mother was no match for me. As well, her daughter was no match for mine. "
Harriet smiled. Xavier was her fiancé and he could only be hers.
Xavier clearly heard Richard's roar.
Originally, he didn’t care about him. But it attracted his attention when Richard talked about the shares of K&T Inc.
Why did he call Arya his unfilial daughter?
What did the Harrison Family hold back?
He didn't understand what was going on now but he would find out the truth.
As soon as he returned to the company from the hospital, Jacob came at once.
Jacob's expression was very subtle.
Xavier glanced at him. "What's up?"
"Well... I've found out what you asked me to investigate.”
Xavier raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that he was satisfied that Jacob found out the truth. He was just trying to figure out what was going on.
Jacob was not relaxed. He never thought that Arya had been in prison and was Harriet's half-Arya. When they arrived at the office, Xavier sat behind his desk and lit a cigarette. And then he asked Jacob to report what he had found out.
Jacob took a deep breath and mustered up his courage. "Arya Harrison, Harriet's half-Arya.” At this point, he glanced at Xavier.
Xavier had already guessed it from Richard's words. What he wanted to know was why the Harrison Family was hiding it.
He took a deep puff of his cigarette. The white mist lingered, which covered his expression at this moment. He said in a cool tone, "Go on."
"Four years ago, she was sent to prison for killing someone by her car. And she was released in August this year. The Harrison Family kept it a secret because it might be a scandal. So they only recognized Arya and Marshal... And she..."
Xavier was irritated by Jacob's hesitation. His face darkened and he roared, "What else!"
"She... she was pregnant in prison, but the baby died."
After saying that, Jacob quickly lowered his head. The woman had the dubious distinction of going to prison and even being pregnant in prison, so he was afraid that Xavier would be angry at her.
It seemed that there were dark clouds over Xavier's fierce eyes. "What a capable woman!"
He clenched his teeth and took a deep breath. "Get her here!"
Jacob replied quickly, "Yes." And left.
Arya was in the company. When Jacob found her, she was discussing her job with Orlando.
Arya was surprised to see Jacob.
In her opinion, since Xavier gave her the shares, their relationship had been ended.
"What can I do for you?"
Arya asked.
Jacob's expression changed.
The woman was too bold to hide such an important thing from his big boss. “Does she want to die?" "Yes, please... No, Miss Harrison. Come with me."
Arya was not too surprised. Xavier would know what happened to her sooner or later.
Besides, she replaced Richard, which would make it quicker for him to know the truth.
"Orlando, you look after it. I'll be right back.”
Arya said.
Orlando showed a gesture of agreement. "Go ahead. I'm here."
Then Arya left with Jacob in relief.
When Jacob looked at her in the rearview mirror, he found that she was quiet all the time.
After a moment of hesitation, he decided to warn her, "My big boss has a bad temper. He does not like to be deceived.”
Arya knew that Jacob warned her out of kindness, so she nodded at him"Thank you. I see.”
When they arrived at the company, Jacob took her to the president's office. "He is inside. Go in by yourself. I won't go in with you."
Jacob had seen what Xavier looked like when he lost his temper. He had better not offend him at this time
Arya nodded."Ok."
She knocked on the door and opened it after hearing the response inside.
Standing in front of the window. Xavier put his hands in his pockets. He looked tall and straight. Arya stood at the doorway. "You want to see me?"
"Close the door."
Xavier did not look back. And Arya couldn't distinguish his emotion from his tone.
Arya turned around and closed the door. She stood beside the door.
Xavier slowly turned and quietly looked at her from a distance.
He was muttering her names, "Arya?"
Arya was very calm. "Yes, My name is Arya. You mispronounced my name and I didnt correct your mistake in time. I didn't mean to lie to you."
His expression became more and more sinister. He approached her step by step.
Arya subconsciously wanted to step back because he looked too scary at the moment.
"Mr. Jones, our deal was done. You have no right to question me.”
Xavier sneered as if he had heard a big joke. He grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him. "No right? Don't forget that our contract hasn't been ended yet. I can ask you to stand naked at the door for appreciation. But you can't reject me!
As long as I want, the shares I gave you can be invalid in an instant! *
Arya's hanging hands trembled. She pretended to be calm. "What do you want?"
Xavier cupped her chin harder and smiled insidiously. "You are so shameless. No wonder your baby died young. You are not good enough to be a mother at all!"
He mentioned her sorrowful past, which was buried deeply. She was so painful.
He crossed the line. The baby, whom she was not willing to talk about, made her painful.
