Chapter 297

Jennifer was definitely in over her head this time. Her heart was in the right place, but her actions? All hustle and bustle, ending up with thankless tasks.

“You can’t just dismiss this as a simple mistake,” Harrington tried to argue further.

Maddox turned to Phillip, asking, “I remember right before the new year, when TechFly went public, the Wrights also bought shares, didn’t they?”

Phillip, who had been sitting quietly, minding his own business, replied, “Yes, they own 4.88% of the shares. Since TechFly’s IPO until last week, the stock price has increased tenfold. the Wrights’ net profit is estimated to be around 140 million dollars. Plus, the interest-free loans that were granted to them right before the new year amount to over a billion dollars in total.”

Maddox and Phillip, calm and collected, laid out the benefits the Wrights got from Jennifer clear as day.

Even though Jennifer’s good intentions backfired, the Wright family was far from being short-changed.

Curtis’ lips curled into a sardonic smile as he said, “Ms. Jennifer, you really went all out for me. It’s too early to talk about wedding gifts when nothing’s set in stone yet. In our family, you’re the second least business-savvy person, right after Leanne.”

Jennifer glared at him. With everything going on, he still found the mood for jokes.

Harrington’s formidable presence dwindled, leaving him speechless.

Having accepted the benefits, the Wright family had no grounds to further accuse the Richardsons.

Disappointed, yet aware they couldn’t afford to offend the Richardsons, Harrington, with a deep frown and a stern face, managed to say, “In any case, what your family did this time was not honorable.”

He left with his wife and daughter, the servants too scared to make a sound, respectfully opening the door for them.

Suzan followed behind, and outside, Claudine couldn’t help but criticize, “You spent over two years with him at Starlake. What have you been doing that you couldn’t even keep a

man?”

Suzan retorted sarcastically, “Maybe if you had made me as pretty as Leanne, none of this would be my fault, right?”

Suddenly, Harrington turned around and slapped her.

Suzan’s head was jolted to the side, the burning pain on her face made her clench her skirt

tightly.

“Use

Harrington scolded with a dark look “I went through so much trouble to get you close to Curtis. If it wasn’t for your drama and breaking up with him, you would have been the one marrying him, not that Leanne!”

A servant ran out to the garden to bring Leanne a jacket, mentioning it was getting cold as the night fell. But what was brought was Curtis’ jacket.

Leanne guessed they must have finished discussing the matters with the Wright family.

Mary took Curtis’ blazer and threw it into the pool, even poking it with her cane, “Drown the little rascal.”

Leanne couldn’t help but laugh, looking around before picking up a stone and tying it to the jacket, hoping it would sink.

Just as she finished, a cool voice came from behind, “You two are quite ruthless, aren’t you?”

She reflexively turned around and saw Curtis leaning on the balcony railing on the second floor, with ivy climbing up the wall beside him.

He looked down at the pool leisurely, “This shallow water won’t drown me. Should I go for a swim and show you?”

“You are annoying!” Mary, pulling Leanne, said, “Let’s go back.”

By the time they returned, the Wright family had already left.

Mary then asked someone to find the camera.
