Chapter 55 Harriet Howell
“I owe it all to Billy. Without him, I wouldn’t have gotten a single penny…” Harleen briefly explained the situation.
“Wow, brother-in-law, you’re amazing! Who do you know at Ozin Tower?” Felicia exclaimed with an exaggerated expression as she looked towards Billy.
“One of their department managers is a good friend of mine.” Replied Billy.
“I don’t believe you!” Felicia questioned with a suspicious look, “Can a department manager decide on that thing?”
“Well I’m not entirely sure about that.” Billy said and laughed.
“Billy, thank you!” Sharon spoke up after calming down her excitement slightly.
“Mrs Knight, it’s okay. It’s no biggie.”
After a pause, Sharon continued, “I formally apologize to you now. It was my fault before, please don’t take it personally.”
“Please don’t say that. If anyone needs to apologize here it’s me for causing all this trouble for your family. But please rest assured, from now on, I won’t let anyone bully you anymore!”
“I believe in you.” Sharon nodded and replied.
“I’ll go cook some food for lunch. Billy and Casey, could you guys join Fletcher for a drink later? He hasn’t drunk fro long.”
“Sure. Thank you, Mrs Knight.”
At 2pm, after finishing lunch and playing with Tasha for a while, Billy said goodbye to the family and left with Casey.
“Hey brother, when are we gonna lay hands on the three families?” asked Casey as he started the car.
“Has the eldest son of the Watkins family arrived in Ozin yet?”
“He should be arriving this afternoon.”
“Good! Send a message to Judge and have him find Harriet Howell. Let’s settle her accounts before we go after the Watkins family.”
It was time to settle all debts.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Got it!” Derek nodded and pulled out his phone to send a message.
Less than 10 minutes later, they received a reply from Judge with Harriet’s address. Casey stepped on the gas pedal and headed towards her estate.
Harriet was hosting a small party at her estate for some of Ozin’s most prominent figures. Since the Miles family incident, she had become one of Ozin’s top women-known as its queen-thanks in part to her endless social skills and the fact that she was known as Osmond Watkins’s mistress.
Harriet Howell, who was not yet 35 years old, had skin as delicate as a teenage girl’s and a natural beauty that made it hard for most men to look away. Of course, being in her prime, she also kept two strapping young men besides Osmond. But Osmond turned a blind eye to this arrangement because it lightened his load considerably.
“To you, Harriet.” Said a gallant while raising his glass. “Here’s wishing you stay forever young!”
“Thank you, Wang!” Harriet replied with a seductive smile. Today she wore a low-cut sweater that showcased her stunning figure and an exquisite platinum necklace with an abyssal gemstone at its end on her slender neck. Her tight jeans hugged every curve perfectly.
“Harriet, I heard your club is opening next month?” another rich boy asked Harriet with lustful eyes.
“Yes, indeed. Don’t forget to come and support me then!” Harriet responded with laughter.
“I will be there! I’ll even get the highest membership card so I can see you every day!”
Harriet giggled and said, “Thank you, Jay!”
“Just one month since we last met and already you look younger again!” At this point, an elegant lady walked over holding her wine glass up high.
“It seems like your two men have been working very hard these days.” She continued after taking a sip from her glass.
“Jillian, I can’t compete with you on that front.” Harriet glanced behind the lady and asked, “Didn’t he come along today?”
“Don’t even mention him, he just gets me angry whenever I think of him. He’s such useless trash.” Jillian frowned deeply before adding, “I’ve already kicked him out.”
“What’s wrong? I thought Tommy was doing well? Is it because you have too high of expectations?” Harriet smirked.
“The other day, I took him on a cruise with Willa and Tyne, and he embarrassed me by not lasting half an hour. Willa and Tyne are still laughing at me today.” Complained Jillian.
Harriet giggled and said, “Jillian, don’t be angry. If you don’t mind, tonight I’ll have Del accompany you.”
“Really? You promised, don’t back out!”
“That’s settle!” Harriet smiled again.
“Well then, thank you in advance!” Jillian’s eyes sparkled.
“Oh yeah, that project you mentioned last time? I talked to my husband about it and he said there’s no problem. Just go to his office tomorrow to see him.” Said Jillian.
“Okay, thank you sweetheart.” Harriet looked pleased.
Jillian lifted her glass and downed it in one gulp while imagining what would happen tonight between her and that young guy Harriet promised her.
“Harriet, I heard a guy went check your beauty salon a few days ago? Did everything get resolved?” A middle-aged man approached them with a glass in hand. His eyes flashed with fervor as he looked at Harriet.
“You can tell me their name, tomorrow they will come apologize at your doorstep.” He added confidently.
“Thank you for your concern, Scott, but it’s handled. He won’t show up in Ozin anymore.”
“I see… that’s good news. What an idiot! He dared to investigate your territory, he must hit his head or something!”
“Come on, let me raise a toast to everyone. I’ve arranged for some beauties to come and liven up the party. They should be here soon, and tonight we’re not leaving until we’re all drunk!” Harriet spoke up as she raised her goblet.
“Thanks Harriet, cheers!” Everyone raised their glasses and drank together.
Boom!
Just then, the two iron gates of the estate exploded with metal pieces flying everywhere. Several men and women near the gate were frightened pale and quickly retreated.
The next moment, Billy and Casey walked steadily in. At this point, Billy had already disguised himself as he did at Crown Hotel the other day.
