Chapter 105
Zachary was speechless.
Michael and Asher were both shocked at what Harry said.
Not even Megan knew how to respond to that statement.
They exchanged glances, unwilling to believe what they had just heard.
"Young Master Harry, he is just an orphan boy. How..."
Before Zachary could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Harry.
"How dare you show such disrespect to Mr. Nicholson!" Harry coldly barked. "From now on, the Carter Family will cease to support the Dugray family in anything!"
"What?"
Zachary's vision went dark as he nearly fainted from shock.
Without the help of the Carter Family, the Dugray family would quickly be reduced to the weakest family in the industry.
Not even the gods could save them then!
Pfft!
His fear skyrocketed, causing his blood to pump so hard that blood sprayed from his mouth.
Then, without even bothering to wipe away the blood lingering on the edges of his mouth, he crawled over to Kingsley while still on his knees.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Nicholson!" pleaded Zachary. "Uncle! I am sorry! Please forgive me!"
"Forgive you?" Kingsley glanced down his nose at Zachary. "You proposed to my girlfriend, yet you want mercy?"
"I won't do it again! I will not ever do it again! I will stay far away from Cecilia... Far away from your wife! Please spare the Dugray family!"
Zachary was on the brink of despair.
Nothing he did would make up for his guilt if the Dugrays were destroyed because of this incident.
He was willing to do anything as long as Kingsley would have mercy on him.
When Kingsley heard what Zachary called Cecilia, a chuckle escaped his throat. "Fine. Since you're smart enough to understand your place, I'll forgive you this once."
"Yes, yes."
Zachary kowtowed hard as if he had just been pardoned from death. His forehead banged loudly
against the floor several times.
Megan was dumbfounded by the sight before her.
With a dazed look in her eyes and her mouth gaping open, she looked as if she had lost her mind.
How she wished she could slap herself in the face right now.
The most powerful candidate for her daughter's future spouse was actually the "bum" she had been insulting the entire time.
"The pre-bid conference will be held in three days, Mr. Larson," Harry said before anyone else could speak. "Please excuse me, for I have plenty of work waiting for me."
"Ah, do take care, Young Master Harry."
Michael bowed and scraped as Harry left the mansion. It was only then that he turned to look at Kingsley with a conflicted look in his eyes.
"Dearest son-in-law, are these invitations really for us?" asked Michael.
Cecilia blushed when she realized what her father had just called Kingsley. At least she did not have to marry Zachary now.
"Well? Are you happy with them?" Kingsley responded with a nod.
How could Michael not be happy with the gift?
In reality, he was so happy that he had the urge to kowtow to Kingsley.
These five invitation letters were tickets to heaven. With their help, the Larson Family would be a first- rate family.
"Yes, I am! We are very, very satisfied with them!"
Michael then nudged his wife with an elbow. "Hurry up and apologize to Kingsley!"
"Ah, my dearest son-in-law, I was wrong to do what I did," Megan said to Kingsley with a groveling smile on her face. "Please don't take it to heart..."
"As I've said, I will forgive you for Cecilia's sake," he replied.
His cold response made her let out an awkward chuckle. "It's fine. We will be family soon anyway. I will love you more than I love my own son!"
Asher, who had just been watching the entire time, froze upon hearing his mother's words.
Just then, his phone began to ring.
After glancing down at the phone, Asher hopped to his feet and answered the phone after clearing his throat. "Commander!" he greeted.
"Where are you, brat?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The person on the other end of the call had roared so loudly that everyone in the room heard every word he said.
Stunned, Asher dazedly replied, "I am on leave today... So, I am at home, sir..."
What had happened? Just what had caused his commander to scream so loudly that his voice went hoarse?
"I have just been informed of your punishment by the higher-ups," barked the commander. "You have been issued a warning for disrespecting the general, and you will be demoted!"
"D*mn it!" the commander continued in a louder shout. "I am also being punished because of you! I have been ordered to write an essay by hand! Asher Larson, just what on earth did you do to have made the General angry when you are just lazing around at home?"
