I was unhappy, but then I realized…
My sister was unhappy too.
She hugged me, crying.
“Sis, Harrison Cole is a jerk! Last night, I
asked him about his sweetheart, and he
wouldn’t tell me!”
“He wouldn’t tell me, and then he started
undressing me! There are such horrible men
in the world!”
She was furious.
Wait… why was she reacting this way?
Wasn’t she his lost love?
I was about to tell her the truth.
Then Harrison Haves‘ aunt. Amelia, arrived.
<
Since the death of Harrison Hayes‘ parents,
Amelia was Old Man Harrison’s only daughter. She and her husband were scheming to take over the Harrison company.
Old Man Harrison didn’t favor sons over
daughters. If Amelia was capable, he would
let her inherit.
But she wasn’t capable.
She just wanted the money.
She mismanaged the company, lining her own pockets.
Her husband was even worse.
He was a financial black hole. Every
investment he made failed.
He even wanted to use Harrison family funds
for his own failing company.
They were parasites, leeches on the Harrison
family.
And I suspected Amelia was involved in the
accident that killed my in–laws and injured
L
Harrison Hayes.
She was the biggest beneficiary.
The accident happened on her birthday.
Amelia disliked her nephews.
She knew they were her biggest obstacles to
inheriting the company.
She scoffed at Harrison Cole. “Oh, Cole,
you’re married now. Didn’t you used to hang
out with your ‘boyfriends‘ all the time? What
happened? Did you suddenly like women?”
“Cole, you’re clearly insane. Even if you like
women now, you’re still insane. I think
Grandpa should send you abroad for
treatment. You’re mentally ill. You think you
can work at the Harrison Company? You’re
dreaming!”
Amelia was vicious. Her words were cruelly
cutting.
Harrison Cole said nothing, looking
indifferent.
I was furious.
Before I could tell my sister the truth about Harrison Cole’s “lost love,” she jumped in, unleashing a torrent of insults at Amelia. “How does it matter who he likes? Old hag!
Look at yourself! He’s handsome, and he’s
amazing. Unlike you, you’re ugly, with only
one husband who cheats on you! Instead of
interfering in my husband’s life, maybe you should focus on your own!”
My sister was amazing.
Even though she was upset about Harrison
Cole’s secret love, she still defended him
when he was attacked.
Amelia was enraged.
She tried to slap my sister. “You little… I’ll kill
you!”
I grabbed her wrist. “Aunt, don’t hit people.”
That’s my sister!
I would hit anyone who hit her!
Amelia, restrained, screamed at Harrison
Cole. “Don’t you care about your wife?! She
insulted your aunt!”
Harrison Cole looked at my sister with tenderness. “Aunt, my wife is right. Aren’t you
exactly what she described?”
Amelia was speechless.
It was the first time she’d been so defeated
by Harrison Cole.
She turned on me. “And you! Why didn’t you
stop her?! I’m an elder! I have the right to
discipline you!”
