Chapter 171. A Corrupt Judge
Harry stood directly across from the judge who truly held the power, a briefcase in his hand. He was wearing a pair of glasses, something he had deliberately put on just before stepping into the office, even though he had no actual need for them. The choice was odd, but intentional. What surprised Harry most was that he had even been granted this meeting at all. Judge Walter was considered an influential figure, or at least that was how he had been presented to Harry. Securing this audience has not been easy. Harry had been required to part with a massive sum of money simply to prove that he was worth taking seriously. In total, he had spent one million dollars just to demonstrate his financial capacity and seriousness. That display alone had been enough for the judge to acknowledge him as a man worth meeting, and as a result, Walter had agreed to see him without delay. Everything about the transaction had been handled discreetly. The money could not be traced back to Harry in any m
Chapter 172. Rhiannon's New Friend
Harry had already triggered a chain reaction, one that would, in time, define the course of Carmen’s life in ways she couldn’t yet imagine.He had made the choice to cut Carmen husband out of his son’s life entirely, but the real reason behind that decision wasn’t something anyone could clearly point to. Even Harry himself wasn’t certain when the idea had first taken root in his mind. It might have been something he had been carrying for a long time, quietly forming beneath the surface, or it could have emerged suddenly, shaped by circumstance and opportunity.Harry understood better than most what growing up in a fractured household could do to a child. He had spoken before about the importance of presence and stability, and in that sense, his actions directly contradicted his earlier words. Yet contradiction had never stopped him. Harry had always acted according to what he believed was right, rarely pausing to question the morality of his choices, especially when those choices invo
Chapter 173. Rhiannon Takes Control
Harry made his way back home, and to his genuine surprise, he found that Melissa had already selected the outfit she wanted him to wear for his outing with Rhiannon.He wasn’t entirely sure how he was supposed to react to something like that, but he couldn’t deny that the gesture meant something to him.As he took a closer look at the clothes she had laid out, Harry couldn’t help but admire her taste. Part of the reason it looked so well put together was because Melissa clearly had more information about the evening than Harry himself had been given.He smiled warmly at her, then moved closer to the bed to inspect the outfit more carefully.“This actually looks really good,” Harry said, openly complimenting her choice.“You like it?” Melissa asked, her face lighting up instantly, and Harry nodded in response to reassure her.Her fashion sense stood out to him because there was no chance he would have picked something like this on his own.The shirt was simple and loose, patterned with
Chapter 174. A Weird Turn Of Events
Harry was out on a date with Rhiannon, and he genuinely hadn’t expected her to bring him to a place this extravagant.The restaurant was clearly high-end, the kind of place where simply booking a table could easily cost more than a thousand dollars.Under normal circumstances, Harry would have been completely swept away by the experience, his heart racing at the thought of someone treating him to something so luxurious.If not for the recent changes in his life, specifically, the perspective and confidence his system had given him, this night would have stood out as the single greatest moment he had ever lived.Even so, he couldn’t deny that it was still a thoughtful and generous gesture on Rhiannon’s part.It was the kind of thing most people would struggle to match or return, and that alone made Harry curious.He found himself wondering how she had managed to come into that much money in the first place.He already knew it had something to do with the show she had been involved in,
Chapter 175. The Wayward Daughter
Harry slid into the car, settling into his seat as the door closed behind him. The evening had gone incredibly well, and notably, neither of them had touched a single drop of alcohol the entire night. It had been a genuinely good moment for both of them, one of those rare experiences that felt light, comfortable, and real. Slowly, it dawned on them that Melissa had been the bridge that connected their paths in the first place. She was the reason this night had even happened. Melissa had trusted Rhiannon enough to place her around Harry, and at the same time, she trusted Harry enough to let him be around Rhiannon. That trust had made everything possible. Rhiannon found herself grateful that Harry had entered their lives. She had been cautious at first, carrying doubts and internal hesitations, but what Harry had done earlier was something she was absolutely certain no one else would ever do for her, not in this lifetime. That realization warmed her deeply. For the first time, sh
Chapter 176. Terrible Parents
Rhiannon had been a highly impressionable child, and because of that, it was crucial that her early years were built on some kind of emotional groundwork she could grow from. Children like her needed stability, something solid to lean on while discovering who they were. Ingrid understood this better than anyone and did everything within her limited power to provide that support. Still, there was only so much she could realistically do. At the end of the day, Ingrid was not family, she was an employee.Her loyalty did not lie with the children. It lay with the parents.No matter how much she cared for Rhiannon, Ingrid ultimately answered to the household’s authority, and that authority belonged solely to the parents.That night, after witnessing yet another incident that left Rhiannon emotionally shaken, Ingrid made the decision to speak to the parents directly. She approached them with cautious hope, quietly praying that the conversation would end positively. It wasn’t unusual for car
Chapter 177. Melissa Knows
Harry had given Rhiannon something she couldn’t find anywhere else, and the most important part of it all was that there was no sexual expectation attached. There was no hidden agenda, no ulterior motive. This was simply Harry being a decent human being and offering support to someone who was clearly hurting.When Harry finally made his way back home, the amount of money he had spent that evening didn’t bother him in the slightest. It felt justified. More than that, it had been worth it, because it allowed Rhiannon to open up and let herself be vulnerable around him, something she clearly struggled to do with others.By the time Harry arrived home, it was already well past eleven at night. What he didn’t expect to see was Melissa curled up on the couch, wrapped in a blanket. She hovered in that half-asleep state, drifting in and out of consciousness. From the way she lay there, Harry could tell she had been waiting for him the entire time, worried enough to stay up despite her exhaust
Chapter 178. Mariko The Messenger
Morning arrived, and even though Harry wasn’t someone who cared much for social media, he received a message from Clara informing him that he had suddenly become well-known.Confused by what she meant, Harry went online to check for himself. That was when he discovered that someone had managed to capture a clear photo of his face.He didn’t dwell on it for long. To him, this was the kind of attention that would die down eventually. Besides, if things went according to the future he had planned for himself, he was bound to end up online sooner or later anyway.Melissa was still asleep, but Harry found himself wondering whether what she truly needed was a complete change of surroundings. He knew he needed to speak to Rhiannon about moving out of that apartment. And if money was an issue, he was more than willing to step in and help.He let Melissa continue sleeping, aware that she hadn’t rested well throughout the night. He had felt her shifting restlessly beside him, turning over again
Chapter 179. In The Locker Room
Harry lingered inside the club for a short while longer, allowing himself a moment to decompress. He leaned against the bar area, quietly drinking several glasses of water in succession, letting the tension of the earlier meeting ease out of his system. As he stood there observing the space, his thoughts drifted to Mia. Mia was capable, there was no denying that, but he lacked experience. She could keep the place running for now, sure, but this establishment was only going to grow. Managing it long-term would require someone with sharper instincts and more exposure to high-level operations. That was when another thought crept in. This might be the perfect chance to bring Brandon into the equation. But then Harry hesitated. What if Clara was the better option? After all, there was a hard limit to how much a personal trainer could realistically earn, even one as skilled and well-connected as Clara. Bringing her into something bigger could dramatically elevate her financial standin
