Chapter 251
After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire
Chapter 251 Kill Two Birds with One Stone As expected, the news that Harrison was a goddamn ungrateful child had become the trending topic within half an hour. There were to trending topics today, and both of them were about the Cooper family.
The first one was, the chairman of Cooper Group had been suspected of crime and taken away for investigation.
The second one was, Harrison Cooper embarrassed her grandmother in public, leading the latter to pass out on the spot, uncertain of life.
Harrison sat in the office and went through the hot news coming out one after another.
Undoubtedly, it was a year of many troubles.
Harrison answered a couple of calls.
One of the calls was from her father. He asked her what exactly had happened and saw if she would like him to come to the office and handle it.
Of course she said no. Things would be more difficult to deal with if he was on it personally. Maybe, the senior managers had been bribed by Roger and would force him to quit. If he refused to, there might be another trending topic.
Another call was from Susan. She called to asked what on earth had happened. She thought everything went well after Harrison joined the company, and wondered why something big like this had happened. Then she cursed Lorie harshly on the phone.
Harrison had kinda vent out her anger.
Now her phone rang again. Harrison glanced at it and found it was Charles calling in.
Couldnât he wait to laugh at her? She thought of it but still picked up the phone.
âI thought you would never pick up my call again.â Charles said in a very ironical voice.
âOK. Iâm hanging up.â Harrison said straightforwardly.
âHarrison!â Charles stopped her hastily..
Hamson smiled coldly.
7 think you will need my help.â
âWhat makes you think you can help me?â Harrison asked him back.
âHave you ever wondered why it happened all at once?â Charles reminded her deliberately.
âSo, you wanna tell me you did it?â Harrison snorted.
âHell no! I donât do things against the law.â Charles defended himself immediately.
He was defeated a couple of times, and had learned from the past and become more careful. But, heâd done lots of things against the law!
Harrison wasnât in the mood of quarreling with Charles now, and she didnât want to waste time on him, either. She answered his phone only to try to get something from him.
âBut I can make some calls and pulled some strings to help find out what exactly has happened to your father. Harrison, youâre a smart cookie. I guess you got what I meant.â Charles was being mysterious on purpose.
Of course Harrison had got it. Charles simply wanted her to act weak and soft, then beg him to help solve her fatherâs problem.
Telling from his voice of tone, it was clear that he knew the whole thing. Maybe more than that. He might have planned it as well.
âWhat do you want me to do?â Harrison asked with hesitation.
Charles laughed out on the other end of the phone. Probably, he was complacent.
âOh, you gave in so easily, and Iâm not used to it. Harrison, arenât you very good at playing tough? Why donât you act against me now?â Charles. said sarcastically. âOh yes! What about your dear husband? Why doesnât he help you with the problem? So, now you know heâs useless in the most crucial moment, right?â
âWhat the hell do you want me to do?â Harrison was running out of patience.
âDivorce Oscar. Letâs back together.â Charles went straight to the point.
Harrison laughed softly, and thought it really funny.
âSo, you mean youâll help me solve my fatherâs problem if I divorce Oscar, right?â Harrison asked.
answere âRight!â Charles answered.
âHow can I be sure that youâll get my father out of trouble? What if you fool me around?â
âWho do you think youâre to negotiate with me now? It just canât be more obvious that your dad is doomed this time. According to the law of Northfield, heâll be sentenced to prison for at least ten years. If your father goes to prison, do you think you can take care of the whole Cooper Group all by yourself? Or do you think youâll still have your day once your Uncle Roger takes over Cooper Group?â Charles said confidently, âSo, you have no other choice but to trust me unconditionally.â
âYouâre so over yourself, Charles. Probably, old habits die hard.â Harrison taunted him.
The look on his face changed instantly. He could feel that he couldnât threaten or lull Harrison.
âWell, itâs unknown whether I can save my father from this mess. The worst case is that I canât get my father out of trouble and turn to you for help, and choose to trust you. As a result, my father still goes to prison, and my marriage will be broken.â Harrison said, âCharles, nice try!â
Charles held the phone in his hand tightly.
Indeed, heâd never thought of helping Harrison. Instead, he couldnât wait to see Harrison and her family decline, and then he would try to hold the shares of Cooper Group in every way. By no means would he want to help her.
All he wanted was to take advantage of the chance to get Harrison utterly isolated. Harrison would really be on her own one she chose to divorce Oscar. In that case, he could torture her as he wished!
But Harrison wasnât the one she used to be, and she wouldnât buy whatever heâd said.
He thought Harrison would be freaked out by then, but he couldnât hear any anxiety between her words. He wondered why she had changed so thoroughly overnight!
âHarrison, Iâve offered you the opportunity but you blew it. So, donât blame me for being cruel to you in the future!â Charles threatened, âI might as well remind you kindly. Oscar is admitted to work in the City Hall, right? Government officers in Northfield must be come of a decent family. Oscarâs family background will be stained once your father is founded guilty. What do you think Oscar will do then? Do you think heâll give up his promising future for you?â
âItâs none of your business.â
âDonât delude yourself! Men are selfish! Love is nothing when compared with his official career. You can save face for yourself if you leave Oscar first, or then...â

Harrison hung up the phone directly. She wasnât mad, but just thought it a waste of time talking with Charles. He couldnât give her any help from the beginning to end. He was useless to her!
She put down the phone, and looked really gloomy. She must admit that Charles did the cleverest thing in his life if he had planned the whole thing.
To her, it was the critical period of time for her to work and develop in Cooper Group. It was now and never. Once she missed the opportunity, she might be unable to reach the goal which sheâd set in front of all the senior managers.
To Oscar, heâd just been admitted as a government officer in the City Hall. His career must be affected if anything happened to her family.
She couldnât deny that Charles had killed two birds with one stone this time!
