Chapter 251 Kill Two Birds with One Stone

As expected, the news that Harrison was a goddamn ungrateful child had become the trending topic within half an hour. There were to trending topics today, and both of them were about the Cooper family. The first one was, the chairman of Cooper Group had been suspected of crime and taken away for investigation.

The second one was, Harrison Cooper embarrassed her grandmother in public, leading the latter to pass out on the spot, uncertain of life.

Harrison sat in the office and went through the hot news coming out one after another.

Undoubtedly, it was a year of many troubles.

Harrison answered a couple of calls.

One of the calls was from her father. He asked her what exactly had happened and saw if she would like him to come to the office and handle it.

Of course she said no. Things would be more difficult to deal with if he was on it personally. Maybe, the senior managers had been bribed by Roger and would force him to quit. If he refused to, there might be another trending topic.

Another call was from Susan. She called to asked what on earth had happened. She thought everything went well after Harrison joined the company, and wondered why something big like this had happened. Then she cursed Lorie harshly on the phone.

Harrison had kinda vent out her anger.

Now her phone rang again. Harrison glanced at it and found it was Charles calling in.

Couldn't he wait to laugh at her? She thought of it but still picked up the phone.

"I thought you would never pick up my call again." Charles said in a very ironical voice.

"OK. I'm hanging up." Harrison said straightforwardly.

"Harrison!" Charles stopped her hastily..

Hamson smiled coldly.

7 think you will need my help."

"What makes you think you can help me?" Harrison asked him back.

"Have you ever wondered why it happened all at once?" Charles reminded her deliberately.

"So, you wanna tell me you did it?" Harrison snorted.

"Hell no! I don't do things against the law." Charles defended himself immediately.

He was defeated a couple of times, and had learned from the past and become more careful. But, he'd done lots of things against the law!

Harrison wasn't in the mood of quarreling with Charles now, and she didn't want to waste time on him, either. She answered his phone only to try to get something from him.

"But I can make some calls and pulled some strings to help replace out what exactly has happened to your father. Harrison, you're a smart cookie. I guess you got what I meant." Charles was being mysterious on purpose.

Of course Harrison had got it. Charles simply wanted her to act weak and soft, then beg him to help solve her father's problem.

Telling from his voice of tone, it was clear that he knew the whole thing. Maybe more than that. He might have planned it as well.

"What do you want me to do?" Harrison asked with hesitation.

Charles laughed out on the other end of the phone. Probably, he was complacent.

"Oh, you gave in so easily, and I'm not used to it. Harrison, aren't you very good at playing tough? Why don't you act against me now?" Charles. said sarcastically. "Oh yes! What about your dear husband? Why doesn't he help you with the problem? So, now you know he's useless in the most crucial moment, right?"

"What the hell do you want me to do?" Harrison was running out of patience.

"Divorce Oscar. Let's back together." Charles went straight to the point.

Harrison laughed softly, and thought it really funny.

"So, you mean you'll help me solve my father's problem if I divorce Oscar, right?" Harrison asked.

answere

"Right!" Charles answered.

"How can I be sure that you'll get my father out of trouble? What if you fool me around?"

"Who do you think you're to negotiate with me now? It just can't be more obvious that your dad is doomed this time. According to the law of Northfield, he'll be sentenced to prison for at least ten years. If your father goes to prison, do you think you can take care of the whole Cooper Group all by yourself? Or do you think you'll still have your day once your Uncle Roger takes over Cooper Group?" Charles said confidently, "So, you have no other choice but to trust me unconditionally."

"You're so over yourself, Charles. Probably, old habits die hard." Harrison taunted him.

The look on his face changed instantly. He could feel that he couldn't threaten or lull Harrison.

"Well, it's unknown whether I can save my father from this mess. The worst case is that I can't get my father out of trouble and turn to you for help, and choose to trust you. As a result, my father still goes to prison, and my marriage will be broken." Harrison said, "Charles, nice try!"

Charles held the phone in his hand tightly.

Indeed, he'd never thought of helping Harrison. Instead, he couldn't wait to see Harrison and her family decline, and then he would try to hold the shares of Cooper Group in every way. By no means would he want to help her.

All he wanted was to take advantage of the chance to get Harrison utterly isolated. Harrison would really be on her own one she chose to divorce Oscar. In that case, he could torture her as he wished! But Harrison wasn't the one she used to be, and she wouldn't buy whatever he'd said.

He thought Harrison would be freaked out by then, but he couldn't hear any anxiety between her words. He wondered why she had changed so thoroughly overnight!

"Harrison, I've offered you the opportunity but you blew it. So, don't blame me for being cruel to you in the future!" Charles threatened, "I might as well remind you kindly. Oscar is admitted to work in the City Hall, right? Government officers in Northfield must be come of a decent family. Oscar's family background will be stained once your father is founded guilty. What do you think Oscar will do then? Do you think he'll give up his promising future for you?"

"It's none of your business."

"Don't delude yourself! Men are selfish! Love is nothing when compared with his official career. You can save face for yourself if you leave Oscar first, or then..."

Harrison hung up the phone directly. She wasn't mad, but just thought it a waste of time talking with Charles. He couldn't give her any help from the beginning to end. He was useless to her!

She put down the phone, and looked really gloomy. She must admit that Charles did the cleverest thing in his life if he had planned the whole

thing.

To her, it was the critical period of time for her to work and develop in Cooper Group. It was now and never. Once she missed the opportunity, she might be unable to reach the goal which she'd set in front of al the senior managers.

To Oscar, he'd just been admitted as a government officer in the City Hall. His career must be affected if anything happened to her family.

She couldn't deny that Charles had killed two birds with one stone this time!
