Chapter 199
Janet dolled up and drove directly to the hospital after hearing that her uncle had a heart attack and was hospitalized.She arrived with fruits, neatly packed as if care could be measured in bags. She spoke softly as she approached a nurse who was just walking out of the ward.“Nurse, how is my uncle doing?” she asked, tucking a hair behind her ear as she glanced over the nurse shoulders toward the closed door.The nurse was surprised at first when she saw Janet since it was the first time in eleven days seeing Janet, but since she said he was her uncle, the nurse told her he was getting better and walked away.Janet drew a sharp breath and pushed the door open after adjusting the coat over her shoulder.Mrs. Torres turned when she heard the door open and her eyes lit up to see Janet, her lips curved into a broad smile.“Janet, you came!” she exclaimed, her face eased in a way it had not eased to Mia.Janet took her hand. “Of course I came. Uncle must rest, that is all that matters n

“Making peace is one thing, carrying a blame that is not yours is another, your stepmother shouldn’t treat you like that no matter what she heard from Janet, and…”“I know,” Mia interrupted him.“Do you?”Mia gave him a look that was almost a warning. “I am not a child.”“No,” Harrison said. “You are a woman who loves her father, that makes you easy to move today.”Mia clenched her jaw and averted her gaze from his intense eyes. “Let me handle mky family issues,” she said. “Please, just let me do this, I will not sign my name to a lie, I will only make sure this doesn’t affect my father anymore.”Harrison studied her face, he wanted to say no, he wanted to talk to his stepmother and put Janet’s story on the table until it’s useless, but this was not his blood, and Mia was not asking him to fight, she was asking him to not to.“All right,” he said softly and looked at her thin frame. “Have you eaten? Let’s grab something.”“I don’t have an appetite.” Mia said but Harrison shook his hea

After leaving the gala, Harrison tried to reach Mia to check up on her, but his calls were all forwarded to voicemail. Worried, he called her stepsister’s number.Anna picked at the first ring. “Hello, this is Anna Edward, who am I speaking with?”“It’s Harrison.” Harrison said, it was the first time calling Anna with his number.“Harrison?” Anna repeated, trying to jolt her memory of the name. “Oh, Mia’s boyfriend.” she said excitedly.“Yes, I’ve been trying to get a hold of Mia, but her line isn’t connecting, do you think you can put her on for me?” Harrison went straight to why he called.“Umm… Mia isn’t home yet.” Anna said and Harrison’s brows creased slightly with worry.“She should be home from the office by now, do you know the reason she isn’t back?”“She might be at the hospital.” Anna said and Harrison quickly spoke before she could finish.“Is she okay? Is she hurt?”“No, she’s not, she’s probably with father, he had a heart attack few days ago and still at the hospital, I

Carl’s eyes darkened as he glanced between Harrison and David, his assistant who he had asked to watch Harrison and David stepped close to him.“Did you notice them?” his assistant asked quietly.“Yes,” Carl sipped his wine slowly. “They looked at each other, they may be joining against me.”“But David has a hatred for him and from my findings he has been working with Janet to bring Harrison down and another lady named Mia.”Carl raised a brow slightly. “Mia? Mia Edward, CEO of Torres Enterprise?” he questioned.“Yes, that’s she.”Carl had seen her a few time, and he had heard she was a part of the Edward family but has founded her own company, she was also one of the partners selected by diamond global.”“Is there any relationship between Mia and Harrison?” Carl asked, he believed the only lady Harrison love was Isabella, but due to the past mistakes, he thought she hated him, and was dating Janet who also broke up with him, but hearing about Mia was new.“I don’t see any connection
Chapter 195
Ten days later a big charity party filled a large hall with music and cameras. Harrison was invited to the party, there he met David and Janet who were also invited.Harrison walked in dressed in his casual clothes and Janet who was sipping a glass of wine scoffed when she saw him walk in.“Isn’t he embarrassed to show his face here?” Janet muttered with a frown.David traced her gaze to Harrison and turned to Janet. “Let’s not cause a scene today Janet.” He advised her.Janet scoffed. “Whatever, as long as he doesn’t stand in my way.” She sipped her wine and glanced around the room. “We should meet with reputable people, they might help Edward group after Mia humiliated me at her last charity event.”David glanced around and placed his hand on the table. “Who should we meet first? I know they’ve seen us and looked in this direction, but none of them is approaching.”Janet clicked her tongue and paused when she saw Carl. “David, there, isn’t that Carl Hayes?” she asked, gesturing.Dav

Janet sat alone in her room after David left, she had thought about what he said, but no matter how she tried to see reasons to his words, she still can’t let her anger die off.She picked up her phone and called a contact who worked near Mia’s company. “I need information.” she said to the lady at the other end of the line. “How bad are Mia’s money problems right now?”Mia had removed most of her spies from the company after the event with the sales team, so her only source was this lady who worked close to Torres Enterprise.The lady answered. “The supplier is still pressing hard, the newspaper story made some smaller partners nervous, two of them delayed new orders.”“Can the problem get worse?”“Yes,” she said. “If another supplier changes term, or if more stories reached the press, she will feel real pressure.”Janet bit her finger in thoughts and then she raised her gaze. “Find a way to make that happen, but keep my name far from it.” Janet ordered.“I can speak to one more supp
