Chapter 51 Such a Family
Chapter 51 Such a Family
She had been tossing and turning all night without even closing her eyes for a moment, and it was only
in the early morning that heavy drowsiness came over her, making her a little sleepy.
When she went to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water, she woke up immediately.
When she went downstairs, she found that the old lady was also snoring on the sofa. Obviously, she
didn't sleep well last night.
Covering her with the blanket, Harriet Smith took out her mobile phone and tried to call Beau again.
Two seconds, three seconds, five seconds, seven seconds...
"Hello..."
When that all-too-familiar low voice came through the phone, her heart, and her body relaxed
completely: "Have you arrived there? Are you all right?"
"Yes..." He answered briefly.
After a short pause, she continued to ask, "Is uncle all right?"
"Very good..." This time it became two words, but there seemed to be a little impatience in his deep
voice. "Is there anything else?"
"No, when you arrived in the Butte County..."
However, before she could finish her words, he interrupted her. "I'm busy now. I will hang up the phone
—— I didn't hear her screaming."
The last sentence confused her. He didn't hear her screaming, who was screaming?
But she didn't think too much about it. He must be very busy now. She sent a text message for fear of
disturbing him again.
...Be careful over there, take care of yourself, and be careful of the aftershocks, safely... come back...
She had typed the word "come back" three times and deleted it three times. In the end, she hesitated
and firmly typed it and sent it out.
After sending the text message, Harriet Smith stared at the screen for a long time. She thought that
maybe he would simply reply with "yes".
However, after waiting for five minutes, the phone screen did not even light up. She thought that he
must be really busy.
After leaving her alone in Washington, plus what had happened like that, she was not in the mood to go
shopping anymore and wanted to go back to Tranton
He said that he would go straight back to Tranton from Butte County. She still felt at ease staying in the
House of Wright, because as long as he returned to Tranton, she could see him at first sight.
She decided to tell the old lady her thoughts. Although it was a little regretful, the old lady did not force
her to stay. She just told her to be careful on the way.
Harriet Smith smiled and agreed. She hugged the old lady intimately, pulled her suitcase, and rushed to
the airport.
It was really different to take the airplane alone compared to with a companion. It seemed a little lonely.
She didn't sleep well all night. When she got on the plane, she still didn't feel sleepy. She could only
look at the white clouds and the sky outside the window out of boredom.
It was in the afternoon when she returned to the House of Wright. Lainey Brown and Sykes Wright
were not there. They said that they had gone to the fundraising venue.
She tidied up her suitcase, took out the gifts she bought in Washington, and planned to go home.
However, when she pushed open the door of the living room, she was stunned.
The living room was in a mess as if there had been thieves before, and the things were overturned on
the ground.
"Mom, mom, what's wrong? Did ta thief come in? Did you call the police?"
As she shouted, Harriet Smith quickly walked into the room, only to see a group of men in suits pulling
Vera Brion's hair and holding knives in their hands. They were bright and dazzling.
Henry Smith, on the other hand, helped Sophia Scott, who was trembling, sit by the bed.
Seeing this, Harriet Smith knew what was going on. Vera Brion loved gambling so much that she didn't
change her mind. She didn't have enough money, so the group of people came to her door.
Vera Brion's eyes lit up when she saw Harriet Smith. It was as if she had seen a savior as she spoke to
the group of men.
"This is my sister, the wife of Chairman Wright. Do you know the Companies of the Wright Family in
Tranton? She has money. Go and get it from my sister!"
Hearing this, Harriet Smith felt disgusted. She immediately said, "I'm not Chairman Wright's wife, and I
don't have money. She borrowed money from you. You can do whatever you want to her!"
Hearing this, Vera Brion shouted, "Harriet Smith!"
As if she didn't hear her words, she gently patted Sophia Scott's shoulder and ignored Vera Brion.
These men looked at each other, sneered, and inhaled the smoke deeply from their cigarette, "we said
in advance. If you can't pay, we will cut off your fingers."
"Mom, Dad, they're serious. They will cut my fingers, save me quickly! I will not do it again! I'll change!"
Vera Brion shouted.
Henry Smith and Sophia Scott were extremely disappointed with her and did not say anything.
"Cut the crap!"
The dazzling and bright knife approached Vera Brion's little finger. She was so scared that her face
turned pale and her body trembled with fear.
Harriet Smith just looked on her coldly. If she had known this would happen, why would she have been
like this?
It was precisely because she was still stubborn that she ended up like this. You must teach her a
lesson.
Only when she felt pain and fear would she restrain herself.
The knife finally got close to Vera Brion. The sharp tip of the knife cut open the skin on Vera Brion's
little finger, and she screamed in pain.
Henry Smith and Sophia Scott couldn't stand it anymore, but it was not good to talk to Harriet anymore.
They hesitated but were anxious.
Harriet Smith simply turned her eyes away from her.
"Dad, Mom, I'm pregnant! I've been pregnant for two months. I don't want my fingers to be cut off. Save
me, please save me!"
Vera Brion cried miserably. Sophia Scott finally couldn't bear it anymore. "Harriet, could you save her? I
beg you, please save her one last time!"
Henry Smith also said, " I am too ashamed to beg you again, but Harriet, just take it as a blessing for
the baby in your belly and save her once."
After a moment of silence, Harriet Smith finally said, "I can save her, but she must write me an
agreement."
"No problem, I'll write, I'll write." Vera Brion quickly rushed to answer. At this time, If she could help her,
she would like to write down ten agreements.
Only then did she look at the leader of the men who was smoking. "I'll pay for her money. How much is
it?"
"140 million dollars ." The leader took a long pull on her cigarette and shook his legs leisurely.
"140 million dollars?" Harriet Smith gritted her teeth. She even wanted to kill Vera Brion
Vera Brion was so scared that she didn't even dare to raise her head and kept her head down.
Ever since she found out that Harriet Smith and Beau Wright were married, she had become very
confident. She was even more proud of herself in the casino. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Just say that Beau Wright, the well-known CEO in Tranton, was her brother-in-law.
Naturally, a lot of people were willing to lend her money. Therefore, she did not have a penny to borrow
140 million dollars from the casino and then completely lost.
Henry Smith couldn't stop sighing and fiercely pointed at Vera Brion.
"Yes, 140 million dollars. Do you have it or not? If you do, you should pay for it quickly. If you don't have
it, you can leave. Don't delay us from cutting her fingers."
The knife was spinning in the leader's hand, and it might suddenly fall down at any time.
"I do. Let her finish the agreement first, and then I will go and get the money with you."
"Okay, anyway, I don't care about it. Write it down. What are you looking at?"
The bald man knocked on the table with the knife, which scared Vera Brion so much that she could not
write.
Half an hour later, the agreement was completed according to Harriet Smith's request. She glanced at
Vera Brion and put the agreement away.
