Chapter 447

Everybody was feeling a little excited as they whispered among themselves. “Joseph himself came here! Is there still a need to question Crystal’s identity?”

“She really is Joseph’s granddaughter! Oh, Lord! S-She is the very definition of having both looks and money!”

“Oh, stop it! What other rich and beautiful lady could begin to compare with Miss Harrison? Whether it be her family background or her own abilities, nobody can compare to Miss Harrison!”

“A young, rich lady like her trying to marry into wealth? She herself comes from wealth!”

“Bah! Tristan, that b*stard! Wasn’t he saying something about giving Miss Harrison a chance and that she failed to grasp it? Look at the situation now; how does he match up to her in status?!”

“Don’t joke around. Can Tristan even be compared to Miss Harrison? That small bit of assets belonging to the Fields Family can’t even be considered as pocket money in front of the Harrison Family!”

“Tristan’s mother sure is shameless. Just now, she actually dared to say that Miss Harrison tried to trick her son. Now, it looks like her son failed to court Miss Harrison, so she’s deliberately kicking up a fuss in retaliation!”

“We’ll see how they end up!”

Listening to the conversation going around, Veronica was embarrassed beyond words, and her face was flushed beet-red. Normally, she had never suffered a loss whenever she threw her weight around in front of others. Who could have thought that she would meet her match here? More importantly, now that things had been blown so far out of proportion, there was no way for them to get out of it!

Pondering over it for a while, she looked at Matthew suddenly. All of a sudden, she got an idea. Thus, she hurriedly explained, “Mr. Harrison, you’ve misunderstood us. To be honest, this matter is not entirely our fault! This entire fiasco started because this Larson guy was intentionally causing trouble with us! Miss Harrison is a natural-born beauty.

With her gorgeous looks and her magnanimous nature, anybody can tell that she is a perfect lady.

Thus, my son was deeply attracted to her and wanted to get to know her a little better. That’s not wrong, right? However, this Larson guy deliberately came between the two of them and beat my son up.

For that reason, I was so furious that I came here to demand an explanation from him. W-We had no intention of harming Miss Harrison in any way. Truthfully, we have been very respectful toward Crystal was taken aback. She had never expected that this lady could turn the truth on its head and push all the blame onto Matthew. Thus, she furiously yelled, “Y-You liar Then, Veronica quickly replied, “Miss Harrison, I apologize for offending you previously. But, all of this was caused by that worthless good-for-nothing! Mr. Harrison, you are an understanding man. Besides, our company has many business dealings with Harrison Pharmacy.

Furthermore, my husband is in charge of these aspects. Since we are so closely acquainted, how could I possibly try to harm Miss Harrison in any way?! All these troubles were caused by this good-for-

nothing that leeches off his wife! Mr. Harrison, what do you think?”

One couldn’t help but admit that Veronica was extremely intelligent. With a few words, she brought up the relationship between the Fields Family and the Harrison Family, reminding the Harrison Family about the cooperation between them. At the same time, she threw Matthew under the bus.

She kept emphasizing that Mathew was a good-for-nothing. It was clear to see that she was hinting to Joseph that the Harrison Family should bring this issue up against Matthew.

After that, the Fields would give the Harrison Family a lot of benefits! It was the modal way of solving issues between businessmen. However, it was a pity that she was up against the wrong opponent this time around.

Upon hearing those words, Joseph’s expression gradually turned colder. “On my way here, I was wondering if there was some sort of misunderstanding. However, after listening to your explanation, I am certain that there are no misunderstandings whatsoever!

I’ve never met anybody as shameless as you! Do you truly believe you can manipulate everything? Do you think you could turn the truth on its head?! I’m telling you: that won’t work on me! Don’t think you can weasel your way out of this matter!”

Veronica looked troubled and embarrassed. Then, she roared, “Mr. Harrison, the Fields Family is fairly respectable too. Is it worth making a mountain out of a molehill over something as trivial as this? The Harrison Family might be influential, but even you would inevitably suffer losses if you make such a huge deal out of this!”
