Chapter 345

“What do you mean?” Master Harris was still domineering. It was not difficult to catch the weariness in his voice if one were to listen carefully, though.

Sophia stopped smiling and said in all seriousness, “Give Charles 25 percent of the shares and he won’t fight Justin for the inheritance after you’ve passed away.”

“25 percent?! Sophia, do you really think one word from you will be able to get you 25 percent of Harris Corporation shares?!” Master Harris stood up as his eyes went wide with anger.

Ted’s entire family’s shares were just this amount!

Sophia said, “I think there’s a need for correction. He’s not gaining these shares because of one word from me. These shares are given due to Charles’ capability. He deserves it. Isn’t what you’re dreading most right now Charles?”

Charles was a little astonished as he had never expected Sophia to make such a demand.

Even he was shocked by her quick growth!

The look on Master Harris’ face changed. It was red with anger because of Sophia’s exorbitant demand, yet he was unable to utter a word throughout this time.

It was because everything Sophia said was too damn right!

Master Harris sat on the sofa while lifting a glass of water to drink. He had a melancholy look on his face. He slammed the glass back on the table.

“The shares in my hands have long been distributed out.”

“You pretty much have a hand in everything. I’m sure it won’t be difficult for you to retract 25 percent shares from your children and grandchildren,”

said Sophia.

Master Harris did not say a word for quite a while. All he did was continue drinking water.

Sophia did not push him. She caressed the wounds on Charles and said, “You have so many wounds. You must have endured quite a lot of beatings in the past.”

“Not much, just twice or thrice a day.”

“Does it hurt?”

“It’s nothing. At most, I just can’t get out of bed because of the pain. I’m used to it.”

“Charles, why are you being so silly? Don’t you know how to fight back? Why should you get beaten all the time when you’re making money for them? Even ancient slaves don’t have it as bad!” Part of it was said for Master Harris’ benefit while part of it was said out of heartache for Charles.

These wounds did not form in just one or two days!

Master Harris knew their conversation was meant for him to hear. He frowned and said angrily, “Aren’t you making things out to be too perfect?! Do you think the others in the family will stand by and watch while Charles takes everything away from Justin? Careful, your attempts at getting rich might just make you end up losing what you already have!”

“If Charles wants Uncle Oscar’s assets, the family will naturally do something about it.

“However, don’t you forget, Master Harris. You’ve been favoring Ted’s family all these years and the others have long been unhappy about it!

“If Charles takes away Ted’s family’s share of the inheritance that shouldn’t have belonged to them in the first place, it’ll only cheer up the other members of the family! They can’t wait for Charles to take action!” Sophia said.

Silence.

Sophia straightened her back. Her back hurt, but if she hunched over, her waist would be tired. She decided to plop herself onto the sofa.

It did not make her feel any more comfortable.

She could only lie on her stomach or her side in order to avoid the wound on her back, but it was not a suitable situation to do so.

It took quite a while for Master Harris to finally say something with a dark look on his face. “What happens after I give Charles 25 percent of the shares? How can I guarantee that Charles won’t take what belongs to Ted and his family after I... After I die?”

“If you aren’t confident, you can state it in your will. If Charles were to fight Justin for his inheritance, you’ll have his 25 percent shares confiscated.”

“Justin has around 25 percent shares in hand, and it’s the same amount you’ll be giving Charles. There’s no need for him to torment himself with so much work, it’s not worth it.”

There were companies willing to conduct this service if enough payment was made for the management of his will. It would also command enough authority to forcefully execute the will.

Master Harris did not immediately agree, nor did he reject the idea.

Sophia was not in a hurry. The 25 percent shares from Harris Corporation was not a small amount. Anyone would need time to consider this.

“I’ll give you an answer tomorrow,” Master Harris got up with a dark look as he walked toward the door.

He had come here to give these juniors a warning but ended up being blackmailed by them. He could not accept how things had turned out!

Ken nodded slightly at Charles and gave Sophia a thoughtful glance before picking up the cane from the floor and following Master Harris out.

“Master Harris, please wait a moment,” Sophia held in the pain as she stood up to call out to Master Harris.

Master Harris took the cane from Ken’s hands and hit the ground hard with it. He said angrily, “Sophia, don’t you dare ask for more! Do you really think I’m afraid of both of you?”

If it was not for that brat from the Phillips family poking his nose into this, he would have gotten Sophia sent into prison long ago. This complete mess of a situation would not be happening now.

He had never been in such a horrible situation before... To be blackmailed by two juniors!

“I just want to ask you about something. There’s no need to act so uptight, Master Harris,” said Sophia.

Master Harris grunted loudly.

“Charles has suffered quite a number of beatings today, and I suffered one stroke of the cane from you. You should at least let us know why we’re being beaten, right?” Sophia said.

Master Harris snorted. “Are you deaf? Didn’t I just say that I’m beating Charles for marrying a stupid woman like you?!”

With that, he walked away without turning back.

“Miss White, you’ll understand once you get on the internet,” Ken said and left as well.

Internet?

Sophia frowned slightly and laid down on her stomach while asking Charles for her phone.

“There’s no need to check. It’s nothing.” Charles’ back was covered with cruel wounds. They looked horrible, yet provided a physically moving visual of his body.

She had to admit that his wide shoulders and narrow waist were a perfect triangular shape that made anyone who was looking red in the face.

Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 344 It Felt Terrible Sophia’s gaze paused momentarily on his naked upper torso before she turned her gaze away. “Is there something horrible being said online? It’s nothing. I’m immune to terrible words.”

Charles said nothing as he passed the phone to her. “There’s no need to be bothered by what they say.”

“I’m not bothered. I need to take a look and solve the problem if it’s possible,” Sophia clicked on Weibo while saying.

Three trending topics that were in the top ten. It was obvious someone had planned this.

Sophia’s gaze fell on the second hot topic. She took a deep breath before clicking into it with a deep frown.

[Exclusive news has been confirmed. Madam White had slit her wrist in suicide at midnight on the day before yesterday.
