Chapter 257
After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire
Chapter 257 Oscar Won the Favor of Martha and Michelle âWhatâs wrong?â Oscar frowned and asked.
Harrison watched the phone screen and couldnât believe her eyes. It was already ten oâclock in the morning?
Usually, she woke up at seven oâclock. No wonder she felt so refreshed after she woke up this morning. It turned out that she had overslept.
What happened to her alarm clock? Why didnât she hear it? She thought it was still early in the morning. And her alarm clock hadnât rang yet. And she even played with Oscar on the bed for a little while....
âWhatâs wrong?â Oscar asked again as he didnât hear anything from Harrison.
âWho turned off my alarm clock? Harrison turned around and questioned Oscar.
Without doubt, it must be the man in front of her.
âI did.â
âWhy did you do that? Youâre late for work...â
âItâs Saturday today.â Oscar reminded.
Harrison was stunned and stared at Oscar. No wonder Oscar also slept till now.
She pursed her lips and said, âI also work on Saturdays.â
âNo, you donât.â Oscar said.
âWho are you to say that?â
âJust stay at home on weekends.â Oscar said in a bossy tone.
âWhy should I?â
âBecause Iâll stay at home with you.â Oscar said seriously. Meanwhile, he went on talking on the phone, âWhere were we just now?â
Then, he talked with Theodore on the phone again.
Harrison was speechless.
Who was he to meddle in her life? Why must she stay at home as he did?
Suddenly, she thought of Charles in her previous life. She couldnât remember how long Charles had been working around the clock. He was always busy both in weekdays and on weekends. And they seldom spent time together.
For it. Charles always remembered some small things like giving her flowers on her birthday or buying her perfume on their wedding anniversary day, and so forth. She used to be so moved because she thought Charles had made time to surprise her.
However, it turned out that his assistant had done all those things for him. All he had to do was text her.
She pursed her lips and couldnât help to look at Oscar, who was now talking on the phone with Theodore. He never talked much, but he would warm her heart with actions each time.
She couldnât tell if he was too good at hitting on girls or...he really loved her as he said. But what did he see in her? She didnât do anything to him.
And Oscar didnât look like a man who would fall in love with someone easily.
âI know I look dashing, but Iâll be shy if you keep looking at me like that.â Oscar hung up the phone and found Harrison staring at him without a blink.
Harrison came back to earth instantly and looked away.
Oscar was a looker, but in fact, he was a jerk. However, she couldnât bring herself to hate him..
âIâll go back to Cooper Manor later. Harrison ignored him and changed the topic. She had to go back and discuss the case with her father since she didnât go to work today.
âIâll go with you.â
âNo need. You should have a good rest at home.â She said and thought a patient should stay in and have a rest.
âNo. You need me.â
âOscar...â
âTrust me.â Oscar put on a sweet smile and said, âIâm more useful than you thought.â
Gosh! She believed no one else was more over confident than Oscar!
Anyway, Harrison went back to Cooper Manor together with Oscar. Of course, Martha and Michelle were extremely hospitable.
âOscar, I heard that you were admitted as a government officer. Was that true?â Martha said happily, as if he had forgotten he was stuck in the case.
âYeah. Iâm not very interested in the family business, but I just canât fool around and do nothing. Anyway, Iâve married Harrison, and must take the responsibility to support the family. So, I chose to be a government officer.â Oscar said very gently.
âHearing it, Martha and Michelle were really pleased. On the one hand, heâd showed his career ambition. One the other hand, heâd showed his love for their daughter.
Oscar was not only good at pleasing women, but also good at wining the favor of the seniors. Harrison would feel sorry for the country if he didnât choose to be a diplomatic officer.
For so many years, youâre the first government officer from the rich and influential families. You work in the City Hall, and I fully support you!â Martha expressed his own opinion.
Tâll do my best, father.â Oscar promised, looking like a perfect son-in-law.
In fact, Harrison really wished to tell her father that Oscar was very scheming. He worked in the City Hall for himself only. There was nothing to do with her.
âItâs family day. Could you please stop talking about work?â Michelle interrupted them, âOscar, come here. Try some fresh fruit. I went to the market this morning and bought them for you.â Michelle said.
Oscar went over immediately and picked up one piece of fruit with the fork. âSo sweet.â
âEnjoy it.â Saying it, Michelle gave some more fruit to Oscar.
Harrison was sitting right next to her mother, Michelle, but the latter didnât even throw her eyes on her. Michelle cared about Oscar only. Harrison couldnât help to get jealous.
âMum, I also want some.â Harrison acted cute and said.
After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire Michelle turned to glance at her and said impatiently, âItâs right in front of you. Help yourself.â
âHere, Oscar. Have more fruit.â Michelle gave more fruit to Oscar again kindly.
âThanks, mum.â Oscar smiled lightly and looked really polite.
At that moment, he glanced at Harrison on purpose, as if he was provoking her.
Harrison rolled her eyes and wondered if he could be more childish! Her mother was nice to him only for the sake of her, OK? There was no need to show off!
But she thought it over and remembered her parents had never been so hospitable to Charles back then.
âHarrison.â Martha called her name suddenly.
âYes, dad.â Harrison turned to look at Martha.
âThe courthouse informed me that I would be in count in one week since theyâve got witnesses and solid evidences. It will be next Friday.â Martha said with anxiety.
At that moment, Harrison couldnât help looking to Oscar, which had scared the hell out of her. What? Was she counting on Oscar unconsciously?
Didnât she say that she would count on herself in the new life?
âDonât worry, Dad. Harrison and I have figured out how to win the case.â Oscar looked very confident, âYouâll be set free.â
Martha still doubted it and said, âIâve checked the evidences with Harrison yesterday. And Iâve studied the case at home. Itâs very hard to clean my name.â
âNo, it isnât. There are lots of flaws in the case.â Oscar said firmly, âPlease trust us.â
âOf course I do trust you. But Iâm afraid it will be too difficult for you.â
âDad, come on. Weâre a family. Donât be silly.â Oscar said, and looked a little angry.
Martha smiled with relief. Unexpectedly, Harrison had married a reliable man.
