All Chapters of Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

“You should probably leave, Mr. and Madam White." Charles glanced at her before turning to look at Jenny and James. "Sophia could never bring herself to hit her own parents no matter how much she resents both of you."Sophia handed her glass to Charles then laid down. "I'm a little tired. You should probably leave now."When he heard that she was about to drive them out again, James' countenance changed. He was about to speak when Charles interrupted him. "Since Mr. and Madam White care about Sophia so much and want to obtain her forgiveness, then I’m sure you will also put her health first, right?"The words hanging on the tip of James’ tongue were swallowed, looking as though he was constipated."...If that’s the case, we’ll go back first and come back in the afternoon." Jenny glanced at Sophia and said in a crestfallen tone, "Soph, your dad and I brought you some food supplements. You should eat more because they’re good for your health."With her back to her, Sophia did not ut

Sophia figured that Master Harris would come over to find out about the truth but did not expect him to come so soon.Master Harris brought Ken into the ward and looked Sophia up and down with a sullen look on his face, saying sarcastically, "It didn’t take long for you to almost miscarry, huh? Could it be such a coincidence?""You know that Leah and I are incompatible with each other just like fire and water. I can’t be colluding with her and Mr. Jones to deceive you, can I?" Sophia carefully lifted the collar of her patient’s gown when Master Harris came in.A couple is advised not to sleep together in the first three months of pregnancy. Master Harris would get suspicious if he saw the hickeys on her neck.Master Harris harrumphed heavily; his expression eased up slightly."When Sophia arrived at the hospital after suffering a relapse, she even went through a medical procedure. If you don't believe it, you can go ahead and ask the surgeon." Charles said, "We can't possibly do a

Jenny echoed him at once. "That’s right, Soph. As long as you come home, you can list out any conditions that you have! You were dissatisfied with your dad for not involving you and Sterling in the company, right? I can transfer all twenty percent of the shares under my name to you both!""Cough." James let out a dry cough and said, "We’ll talk about this next time. At the very least, Soph and Sterling need to enter the company to learn something first."Jenny was displeased. "Them learning something in the company and me transferring my shares to them are completely unrelated!""Of course they’re unrelated. Mr. White doesn’t want you to transfer your shares to Sterling and me." Sophia said sarcastically, "If you transfer these shares to Mr. White, I’m sure he will not refuse.”Jenny's face paled when she heard what she said."Soph, you think of me as a person that’s far too sinister." James said sternly and forcefully, "I didn’t want your mother to transfer the shares to both of

After hearing what he said, some of the more influential people in the meeting said—"My schedule happens to be quite empty today. I don’t mind staying a while longer.""I’m sure what Mr. Oscar says in public today will impact the company greatly. I’m all ears.""I have to catch a plane in three hours. I still have time."As for the rest, some of them remained silent, while some others echoed agreeable views.Since most of them had said so, Master Harris had no choice but to sit down again."You must have put in quite an effort in private to persuade so many of them to cooperate with you, right, Charles?" Justin raised his fox-like eyes slightly.Charles said indifferently, "Birds die in pursuit of food and human beings die in pursuit of wealth. Everyone is just cooperating for their own interests. What does it have anything to do with me?"Justin unscrewed the lid of a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and whispered, "Charles, you know better than anyone whether this has an

Ted looked livid. "You...""That’s enough!" Master Harris slammed the table abruptly and roared, "Shut up, all of you!"Luna sat down with a deadpan look on her face but Ted refused to take it lying down. "Dad, just listen to what Luna has just said...""You too, keep your mouth shut!" Master Harris cut him off sternly and snapped, "Sit down!"Ted glared at other Harris family members, especially Charles, then sat down with a sullen look on his face.Master Harris’ gaze swept around the table, focusing on several shareholders who were not from the Harris family, and asked with a dark expression, "Do you guys want Charles to be the president too?"They exchanged glances with each other. No one responded."That's what Mr. Fredrickson thinks." The secretary who replaced Mr. Fredrickson said in neither humble nor overbearing way, "Compared to Mr. Justin, Mr. Fredrickson trusts in Mr. Charles' ability more.""If you insist on handing over the president position to Mr. Justin today,

As Charles expected, Master Harris was very unhappy with the way the Jones family did things, hence he arranged for someone to expose several scandals related to Jones Group. It was not until Master Jones came forward to seek reconciliation and promised him certain benefits, did he finally renew friendly relations with the Jones family again.—In the face of absolute interests, there were no eternal enemies nor pure friends.Sophia played the role of a patient in the hospital for several days before returning to the White residence with Charles, during which Leah had remained silent as though she had given up on struggling. Everything seemed to be moving in the right direction.Sterling was extremely upset to learn that Charles was coming to the White residence too. The cast on his body had been removed, hence he rolled up his sleeves and planned to fight Charles but was dragged away by Nicole in the end."Stop messing things up, Sterling. Charles was being coerced into doing those

At the sight of her reaction, Jenny walked over to Sophia's side and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Do you feel unwell somewhere? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked?""...No, I'm okay,” She said, dropping her head after looking at her red and swollen eyes.After hearing what they said, both White father and son hurried over to ask Sophia how she was feeling and if she needed to see a doctor.Sterling found it hard to get used to the way James behaved and sneered. "You’re treating Soph so well when you think she’s useful, but you didn’t even want to look at her when you thought she’s of no use to you. A person like you simply doesn’t deserve to be a father!""Watch your attitude!" James roared sternly. "Regardless of what I do, I’m doing it all for the sake of the White family and White Industries! Do you think I need to suffer so much if you and Soph knew better than to get into trouble all day instead of making yourselves useful?!”Sterling’s good-looking face was

“Okay,” Jenny replied with a forced smile, but her smile looked worse than her crying.Sophia stared at Jenny, and for some reason, she felt uncomfortable about something. Her right eye twitched a few times. It was a feeling of insecurity. Her heart was beating wildly because of it. She pressed on her right eye in an attempt to stop it from twitching, but it was pointless.“Why didn’t you tell me that you’re suffering from depression?” Sophia walked to the side of her luggage and started to help unpack it.Jenny’s eyes flashed as she replied guiltily, “Stop bothering yourself with it. I remember you can’t even fold a piece of clothing. Once you’re done, I’ll still need to tidy everything up.”She lowered her head and did not look at Sophia. There was a slightly anxious look on her face.“I know how to do it now.” Sophia lowered her eyes.Jenny stopped whatever she was doing and broke down in tears. “That’s right, you were in prison for two years and spent a few months at Dream Cl

James’ was more emotional than usual when he saw Charles agreeing with him. “Finally, someone who understands my choices!”“Tell me this, when Soph and Leah had their disagreement and I chose Soph over the White family, it might end up with the White family becoming bankrupt. When that happens, I would never be able to protect Soph when facing the Jones and Harris families!”Charles’ eyes dimmed slightly when he heard the words ‘never be able to protect Soph’. His right hand subconsciously knocked on the sofa.James continued angrily, “I did so much because of the White family. And yet, everyone is blaming me for it. Don’t they realize who has been the one giving them a good life?!”Charles placed his cup down, and his body moved slightly to the front. With his arms on his knees, he said, “Sophia’s maternal grandparents gave them a good life. Didn’t they give you everything you have now?”Charles smiled. “Isn’t that so?”James' expression stiffened as he tried to change the topic

Charles’ sharp, angular features looked much more gentle under the dim, yellow lights. He lowered his eyes to look at Sophia. A shadow appeared on his face from his eyelashes, which blocked some of the light. A dark look could be seen deep in his eyes.Their distance was very close. They were so close that Sophia was able to see the fuzz on his face. She pressed her lips and attempted to push him off, but he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.Thump.Thump.His slightly rapid heartbeat rang next to her ears as Sophia’s whole body stiffened. “… Charles?”Charles grabbed her moving hand and held onto her tighter. “Stop moving.”There was an unnatural blush on his face as he frowned slightly. A cold look flashed in his eyes.Sophia’s limbs weakened slightly when she felt something push against her abdomen. A memory of something inserted into her body with a searing pain flashed in her mind, and her fingers trembled slightly. “What… What’s going on?”“Aunt Fisher drugged
