âThereâs no need,â Charles said without a single hesitation as he raised his head and gulped another mouthful of whiskey. A burning sensation spread across his stomach.
Still, Mr. Logan did not give in easily. âWe looked so hard and we found nothing, why donât we just check it out? Who knows, we might be able to find something.â
Charles scoffed and replied in a jeering tone, âThose women are the same, theyâre just trying to get into my pants because they share a few similarities with Sophia. Do you think she actually has any valuable information to give?â
Mr. Logan wanted to say something but Charles interrupted him impatiently, âI want to be alone, you should go now.â
Since he was already dismissed, Mr. Logan had nothing more to say. He merely gave Charles a few more words of advice and reminded him to take care of himself before leaving.

As soon as Sophia left the house, she got into a Lincoln stretch limousine.
There were two SUVâs in front and behind the limo that was full of burly men, all of whom were responsible for protecting her.
After she got into the car, the fleet of cars started and headed straight to the hospital.
On the way back, Sophiaâs mind was filled with thoughts of Charles.
If he continued drinking all day like this and not take good care of himself, his body would not be able to withstand it.
Moreover, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently and she could see his clothes hanging loosely over his frame.
The letter she had written to him had proved useless. How in the world could she talk sense into him and have him start taking care of himself without exposing her identity?
Sophia wracked her brain trying to come up with an idea, but even as they arrived at the hospital, she was still at a loss at what to do.
Master Harris was already waiting for her in her hospital room, and he immediately asked her the second she walked into the room, âDid you manage to tell Charles everything I told you?â
âI told him about the money laundering,â Sophia replied.
Master Harrisâ expression darkened right away. âDidnât I specifically ask you to tell him everything I told you?â
This girl just could not do anything right!
âI have only been learning how to disguise my voice for about half a month and Iâm not that good yet. Iâm worried he would get suspicious if I speak too much.â Sophia still could not stop thinking about Charlesâ red eyes and thin body.
He must have been terribly miserable for this period of time.
Shatter!
Master Harrisâs face turned red as he fumed with rage and threw a glass on the floor. âI arranged for so many women to imitate you and approach Charles for the past month. He gets so annoyed at the sight of any woman who shares the slightest quality with you at this point, so how would he overthink?â
He had put in so much effort, only for Sophia to ruin his entire plan by acting smart.
What was the point of just telling him about the money laundering issue?
Sophia did not know about this and was slightly stunned. No wonder Charles was so disgusted when she saw her, he had thought she was just another woman who wanted to bed him.
However, she knew she made the right call. âHe knows all my little moves and how I act when I lie. Moreover, he has always been able to see through my thoughts, I just didnât dare to stay too long.â
âBesides, he already found out a lot of things himself too. Now that he knows about the money laundering, Iâm sure he would be able to find out the truth soon enough.â
She had faith in his abilities. He was not the kind of person who needed help from others.
Master Harris could not deny the fact that she was right either. If news broke out that Sophia was still alive, it would surely bring Charles plenty of trouble. Hence, Master Harris calmed himself down slightly and the anger in his chest dissipated as well. âLetâs just wait for another two days.â
Master Harris did not think that Charles would be able to find out the truth by just this one tip, but Charles would at least be able to figure out something from this.
Sophia thought so too.
Even when Charles loathed her back then, he would always look into whatever information that he received to verify them himself whether they were false rumors or valuable information.
However, to their surprise, two days passed byââ
The bodyguard reported to Master Harris.
Master Harrisâ expression changed instantly. âCharles didnât... Cough cough...â
He covered his mouth with his handkerchief, and the white handkerchief was immediately stained blood-red. He looked much paler as well.
The people around him gathered forward right away. One patted his back, one handed him a new handkerchief, one gave him his medicine, and one began a routine examination.
âAs of yet, no,â the bodyguard replied cautiously as he glanced at Master Harrisâ expression warily.
Master Harris fell back into his seat as he covered the handkerchief over his mouth and coughed again. He panted heavily and he was coughing so violently he was almost gasping for air.
Sophia frowned when she heard this.
This was not Charlesâ way of doing things. He would have checked whether the money laundering matter was true or not after knowing about it.
However, he had not stepped foot at the company ever since she âdiedâ. He wasted his days drinking and was even willing to put the Harris family at risk just to help him seek revenge.
Therefore, it was not much of a surprise that he could not be bothered to verify a piece of information he had heard from a woman with âulterior motivesâ.
âYouâre the root of all our problems!â Master Harris gritted his teeth as he glared at her. âCharles is losing himself all because of you!â
âYes, I brought him a lot of problems and hardships, but Iâm willing to do anything and everything to help him. What about you?â She replied gently.
Between her and Charles, neither one of them harmed the other, and although she did not know whether he would blame her for everything, she did not regret the decision she had made.
Master Harris shrieked in rage, âIâm doing all this for him, arenât I?â
âYouâre doing it for the Harris family.â Although she was unsure why Master Harris was helping Charles instead of Justin, she knew that his heart was with the Harris family.
Master Harris snorted heavily. âWhatâs the difference between that?â
Sophia merely gave him a condescending sneer and said nothing. She could not be bothered to argue with him again.
She knew exactly how he treated Charles!
The jeering look on her face only aggravated Master Harris even more, but he did not want to continue this topic. âIf Charles doesnât believe what you told him, youâll have to pay him another visit.â
No matter what, he would make sure that Charles look into this matter.
Now that Harris Corporation was in Charlesâ hands, only Charles had the power to stop this person!

Master Harris gave her a disdainful smile. âLet them then! If theyâre able to find out who you are, Iâll applaud them for doing a good job!â
