Chapter 48
“What?” Corey sneered. “Through formal procedure? Don’t say these decent-sounding words. Don’t f*cking think that I don’t know about Mark’s immoral deeds. He’s such a horrible dad. He even sent his illegitimate daughter to the land developers as a plaything.”
Harold looked at Luke. “Is he telling the truth?”
“That piece of land was handled by Mr. White. I’ve inquired about it. It was true that he sent his illegitimate daughter to those land developing officials using your name…”
Not to mention Corey, Luke also felt that Mark White was wicked. He didn’t care about his blood daughter, and he could blame this bad reputation on Master White.
“That piece of land in the outskirt of the city,” Harold’s gaze fell on Crystal. The girl’s eyes were swollen from crying. His tone suddenly became light. “The White family doesn’t want it anymore.” “Master White…” Luke was surprised. “Please think twice…”
This was a big deal. If he broke the contract, he would have to pay millions of dollars. Mark White valued this project very much and wanted to make a lot of money from it. Harold’s move was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
“The White family doesn’t lack these things.” Harold’s voice was cold. “Mark is a good-for-nothing. He never uses his brain when he does things and always uses the evil ways.
When it came to Harold’s decision, Luke didn’t dare to say anything else. “Yes sir, I’ll deal with it as soon as I get back.”
“Why aren’t you letting her go yet?” Harold looked at Corey. “I don’t have much patience!”
Corey looked at the woman in his arms. The girl’s face was full of tears. Actually, he didn’t pinch her neck so hard. This girl was so coward. He pushed her out, “All right, here she goes. Is she such a treasure? She’s just a crying baby! Once the business is done, of course, I won’t bully her.” Crystal was pushed into Harold’s arms. As if she had found a safe harbor, she hugged the man’s waist tightly until she smelled his cold wooden scent.
Luke, who was watching from the side, suddenly had a feeling of a child being bullied in
kindergarten and going home to complain to her parent.
Master White was such a tough man. He couldn’t be like this. It must be an illusion!
“Are you hurt?” Harold’s voice was low. Those who were familiar with him all knew that this wasn’t a good sign. “Why aren’t you speaking?”
Crystal sobbed in his arms, “He said he would bury me in the graveyard.
“He said that you are not a good person. You always break the law.”
She pointed at her face, “He even pinched my cheeks so hard.”
Corey couldn’t believe it. “When did I exert my strength?!”
“You did!” Crystal accused.
Corey had never liked to talk nonsense. He had always relied on force to win. And now, with Harold as her backbone, this girl became arrogant!
“You said that you wanted to consummate our marriage! You wanted to sleep with me!”
Corey had nothing to say. He did say so, and now he couldn’t deny it.
Harold’s eyes darkened. He handed Crystal to Luke, caressing her little face. “Wait for me outside with Luke.”
Crystal nodded, her misty eyes full of doubt. “Are you not leaving?”
Harold took off his jacket and wrapped it on Crystal’s shoulders, his voice gentle. “I still have something to deal with. Remember to cover your ears.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Crystal didn’t know what he was going to do, so she didn’t ask more. She obediently followed Luke out. As soon as she left, there was a lot of noise inside, followed by Corey’s scolding. “F*ck… Harold, you f*cking want to kill me, don’t you?!”
Crystal shivered in fear and turned around to take a look. Luke remembered Harold’s instructions and immediately covered her ears. “Ma’am…”
