Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1412
Charles scoffed, “Well, she had the help of Hans, who had always been the stocks expert at Landry Group. Of course she did it with Hans! “
As he said this, he shot Jim a glance of disapproval and added, “You used to say that Landry Group won’t be able to survive without you. I guess by the
looks of it, Heather isn’t any worse than you at all! “
Jim curled his lips into a small smile and replied, “ Well, let’s invite Hans and the rest of the team out for a reward as well.“
As soon as he finished his sentence, Heather came out of her room, escorted by one of the servants.
As soon as she stepped onto the stairs, she had already caught sight of Jim, who was sitting on the sofa.
Just one look at this man was enough to send shivers down her spine.
She should have known! How could Jim possibly waste the opportunity to call her out as the fake daughter of the Landry family?
Since Jim had ruined her plans, he would have the chance to badmouth her in front of their father!
“Come on down, Heather.“ As she poured Jim another cup of tea, Rosalyn caught sight of Heather standing at the edge of the stairs and smiled at her. “ Your father and brother were just about to reward you for your outstanding achievement tonight.“
Heather bit down on her lip and had no choice but to descend the stairs.
Rosalyn invited Heather to sit down in the seat next to her and poured her a cup of tea, adding, “Even though Heather isn’t biologically our daughter,
she’s been living with us for more than twenty years ago… Her talent and intelligence shouldn’t be underestimated at all.“
Jim let out a chuckle but did not reply.
Soon, Hans was brought into the room, drenched from head to toe.
Charles glanced at the soaking wet man, who was still shivering from the cold and furrowed his brows. “What’s going on?“
“One of my men restrained him outside in the rain.“ Harvey, who was sucking on a lollipop, slid down the railing of the stairs and sat down next to Jim with a smile. He was wearing a red hoodie and baseball cap.
He placed both his legs on top of his father’s lap and continued, “Our stock expert was sent to a hotel to assassinate someone under fake Aunty Heather’s orders!
“Fortunately, I was a good detective and managed to catch their trail and stop them just in time.
“Otherwise, if word gets out about this, people would think that the Landry family have to resort to violence because we couldn’t win in the stock battle! “
With that, the young boy winked at Charles and said, “Don’t you think I was right to do this, Granddad? “
Charles’ expression darkened upon hearing this. He glared at Hans and asked, “Is Harvey telling the truth?“
Hans was feeling so cold, having been out in the pouring rain, that his entire body trembled. He knelt on the ground with a thud and stammered, “Yes…
Yes, Sir. It was… It was Ms. Heather that ordered me to do this! I—I’m not one for violence…“
The color drained from Heather’s face when she heard this.
She never expected that Hans would give in so quickly.
Charles turned around and, having caught sight of Heather’s face, immediately understood what had happened. He glared at Heather in anger and snapped, “Kneel now! “
Heather bit down on her lip and quickly got onto her knees.
Rosalyn glanced at Charles with a pained expression and said, “Charles, there’s no need to be so radical, isn’t there? Heather was just— “
“She almost ruined the Landry family’s reputation! “ Charles was livid. “Even such a young child like Harvey knew that financial wars should remain that. The Landry family isn’t so weak as to resort to violence to solve all our problems!
“Thank God Jim and Harvey managed to catch this. Otherwise, the Landry family will be humiliated! “
With that, he glanced at Heather coldly and said, “ I’ve overestimated you. From today onward, you’re not allowed to touch any of the Landry Group’s assets! ”
