Watching the two of them walk into the kitchen while playing and joking, Harry turned around and glanced at Elena with a frown.
When Harry went downstairs earlier, he noticed that Elena seed distracted and absent-minded.
"Elena, what's wrong? You look upset. Is sothing bothering you?" Harry walked over to Elena with concern, gently wrapping an arm around her as he asked.
"Brother-in-law, I've made up my mind! If I can't go to Zester University, then so be it. At worst, I just won't go to school—I'll follow you and write novels instead!" Elena suddenly looked up, her eyes glistening with tears as she spoke seriously.
Harry imdiately guessed it had sothing to do with Jian. Anger flared in his eyes as he asked coldly, "Elena, tell , what happened?"
"Nothing... it's nothing! The school just notified that I'm suspected of cheating on the exam. This ti, my score might... might not count! They're going to revoke my graduation qualification!!"
Elena's usually strong and proud deanor crumbled as tears stread down her face. She sobbed, her voice trembling with indignation.
"How did I cheat? They have no proof. How can they just accuse like this?! How can they ruin soone's future so carelessly?!"
Seeing Elena break down, Harry pulled her into his arms. His heart ached for her, but fury burned inside him.
Elena's ordeal reminded Harry of the injustice he had suffered back in high school.
This world had never been fair or just.
Beneath its polished, glamorous surface, society was riddled with filth and corruption.
Harry couldn't change the way the world worked, but he refused to stand by while those close to him suffered such oppression.
Not even the Jian family—who thought they could manipulate everything—would get away with this.
"Elena! Don't ever say that again! You've worked so hard for twelve years, earned such excellent grades, and got into a top-tier university. You have a bright future ahead of you—how could you even think of giving up on your studies? Listen to , your brother-in-law will handle this. All you need to do is focus on preparing to go to Zester University happily. No more nonsense about quitting, understand? As long as I'm here, no one gets to bully you! That's a promise!"
Harry's voice was icy, his tone domineering and resolute.
"Brother-in-law, there's nothing we can do! Nothing! Jian's mother is the deputy director of the Education Bureau, and his father is the biggest gangster boss in this city. How can a family like ours possibly fight them? You... you shouldn't get dragged into this because of !"
Elena shook her head despairingly, pushing Harry away as she cried.
"Stay out of this! Just leave alone! I don't want to go to college anymore!!"
With that, she turned and ran upstairs.
Watching Elena's stubborn, broken retreat, Harry's hatred for the Wang family deepened.
Margaret, Jian—I'll make you pay for this.
After having so Japanese food prepared by Nancy at ho, Harry quietly drove out, heading toward the eting spot he had arranged with Margaret.
A privileged woman like Margaret would never surrender so easily. Even if she ca alone, her husband might have secretly sent people to protect or tail her.
So Harry had to scout the location beforehand and plan carefully.
Upon arriving at the park, he walked around, familiarizing himself with the surroundings before returning to his car to observe the pavilion where he was supposed to et Margaret from a distance.
Ti ticked by, and at 12:45 PM, Margaret appeared at the park entrance ahead of schedule, dressed in a silk gown, sunglasses, and a mask, completely concealing her identity.
As Margaret slipped into the park, Harry watched coldly from behind.
The mont she entered, Harry noticed two ordinary-looking n suddenly appear at the entrance.
When Margaret reached the pavilion, several inconspicuous won began lingering nearby.
Harry wasn't sure if these people were Margaret's bodyguards, but he was certain so of them had been planted for her protection.
Their disguises were decent, but perhaps influenced by too many cri dramas, their exaggerated mannerisms and sharp gazes gave them away under scrutiny.
After observing for a while, Harry concluded that Margaret had likely brought four bodyguards—two n stationed at the entrance and two won circling her.
His guess was right. A woman like Margaret would never co unprepared.
Margaret: Hello, Master, I'm already at the park. Are you here?
Harry opened his phone and took a look at the WhatsApp ssage from Margaret, then replied with a sneer,
Harry: Madam Margaret, you seem to have turned a deaf ear to my words?
Margaret: What do you an? I have already done everything you said! What else do you want from ?
Harry: I told you that you can only co alone, why did you bring others here?
Margaret: I didn't bring anyone here! I ca alone! You must have misunderstood!
Harry: Really? Madam Margaret, it seems that you don't believe anymore. I won't take care of your affairs anymore! Go away! May you be blessed!
Margaret: Don't! Master!! I was wrong! I will let them go now!
Seeing Margaret's WhatsApp ssage, Harry imdiately raised his head and looked toward the suspicious people.
The two won who had been hanging around Margaret seed to have received so instructions and imdiately lowered their heads and quickly left the park.
However, the two n with sharp eyes standing at the entrance of the park still showed no intention of leaving.
Harry: Madam Margaret, where are those two at the park entrance? Why haven't they left yet? My patience is limited!
Margaret: What? What do the two people at the park gate an? I only called two of my personal bodyguards, I didn't call anyone else! Did you misunderstand?
Harry: Are you still pretending? I'll give you one last chance! Let them go imdiately! Otherwise, I'll leave right now!
Margaret: Master, I really don't know who those two people at the door you are talking about are!!
Margaret: That's right! My husband does secretly send people to protect and follow , and these two should be his bodyguards!
Harry looked up at Margaret with doubt, and after thinking for a mont, he replied:
Harry: Then find a way to get rid of them! I don't think you want your husband to know about your affairs, right?
Harry: Contact after you get rid of them! We definitely can't et here. I'll tell you the new address later.
After sending the ssage, Harry turned off his phone and carefully watched every move of Margaret and the two n at the park entrance.
After looking around for a while, Margaret seed to have discovered the two bodyguards. What surprised Harry was that Margaret actually stood up and walked toward the two n.
When the two bodyguards saw Margaret walking toward them, they imdiately turned around in panic and wanted to leave, but were stopped by Margaret.
Margaret walked up to the two n and slapped them each in the face. Then she turned around, walked to her car, opened the door, and drove away.
Harry was not in a hurry to catch up with Margaret, but continued to stare at the two of them for a while.
Seeing that the two n returned to the car covered in dust and did not follow, he started the car, drove directly out of the city, found a remote and deserted place nearby, and sent a location to Margaret.
Harry: [Location Information]
Harry: Co here alone, rember, alone!
After sending the ssage, Harry secretly lurked on the roadside in the distance, waiting for the prey to take the bait.
Twenty minutes later, Margaret's Toyota finally appeared in Harry's sight. Then, Margaret, wearing a long dress, sunglasses and a mask, got out of the car, picked up her mobile phone and looked around.
Margaret: Master, I have arrived. I am alone, and no one is following .
Harry excitedly glanced at the text ssage sent by Margaret, looked around, and after making sure that no one was following him, he drove toward Margaret.
Looking at Margaret's graceful back, snow-white skin, and her long, black, smooth hair fluttering in the wind, Harry suddenly beca excited and nervous. His heart was beating wildly and his breathing unconsciously beca rapid and heavy.
Margaret seed to be born with a noble, beautiful and mature temperant. Although she was already a woman in her forties and was covered up tightly, the feminine charm and noble temperant that ca from her bones were full of lethality to n.
No wonder Margaret's husband Caleb keeps a close eye on his wife.
I'm afraid no man can resist the temptation of such a beauty.
If a woman like Margaret, who works in the system, didn't have a husband like Caleb, she would have been targeted and exploited long ago!
"Mrs. Margaret, get in the car." Harry, wearing sunglasses and a mask, rolled down the car window and greeted Margaret.
Margaret bent down vigilantly and glanced at Harry through the car window. Because she was wearing large and thick sunglasses and a mask that covered most of her face, Harry couldn't see Margaret's expression clearly. He just saw Margaret stunned for a mont. After hesitating for a mont, Margaret finally opened the car door and sat in Harry's passenger seat.
A light, fresh fragrance imdiately filled the car. Harry only felt the fragrance in the car. This fragrance was light and elegant with a refreshing and soft feeling. It was not strong, but could be clearly slled.
Harry secretly glanced at the delicate beauty sitting upright in the passenger seat next to him. His heart beat faster and faster, and his hands that were nervously holding the steering wheel were shaking slightly.
