One Night Stand With That Beggar

Anger thrummed through Harry’s veins upon hearing that. “Why should we do that? We have been working so hard for this opportunity. I will go and meet them regardless.” He got up and ordered her, “Pass me my clothes.”

Kaylene knew that it was impossible for her to convince Harry otherwise, so she got up and passed his clothes to him.

Harry repeated a few important points of his plan to Kaylene before they departed.

“You watch over my brother after I leave. Stall him if he is looking for me. I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay!” Kaylene nodded. After Harry left, she headed to the Old Master’s room with a box in her hands.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Amos’ cell phone rang again.

It was Clint on the phone. He updated him on Harry’s whereabouts, “The Second Master has gone out and is heading to the West Mountain.”

“What about the Cooper family?” asked Amos.

“They are also there now. I feel like they really are desperate to get the deal.”

“Let them be! We will just sit back and enjoy the ‘show’!” Amos hung up the phone and looked at Eudora. “Shall we go?”

Eudora nodded. She had taken enough pictures of the place.

They ambled down the road and saw the Old Master playing chess with Kaylene in the yard.

Kaylene was about to lose to the Old Master. Everyone could tell that the Old Master was getting impatient.

Amos raised his eyebrows and walked over to them with Eudora.

Kaylene laughed when she saw them. “Amos, thank God you’re here! Your father is indeed an expert in chess. I’m no match for him. Do you want to give it a try? ”

Amos rejected her invitation, “I can’t really use my hand now.”

His hands were still in bandages. Eudora rolled her eyes secretly when she thought of how ‘functional’ his hands were last night.

“I’m done!” The Old Master put down his pawn and said.

Kaylene became anxious instantly. “I can help you to move the piece if your hands are hurt,” Kaylene suggested.

Amos smiled and replied, “Aunt, don’t you need to keep uncle company?” Amos could sense her desperation.

“He is asleep…” Kaylene lied. At the same time, the Old Master looked at her and interrupted, “Oh, really? Let’s go and see him.”

“Brother!” Kaylene stopped him right away. “I wouldn’t dare to lie to you! Harry asked me to play chess with you since you have come all the way here. He’s so sorry that he cannot meet you himself.”

The Old Master wasn’t deceived by Kayleene’s made-up lies. He felt more suspicious seeing her trying so hard to stop him.

“Thank you for being considerate, Kaylene. Since we are done here, let’s go and see him now!” said the Old Master as he stood up with his crutch.

The servants behind him quickly came forward to help him while Kaylene followed after him.

“Brother, look! The scenery there is so beautiful. Shall we go there for a while?” Kaylene was not giving up. She continued,

“Someone told me that there’s a beautiful lake over there!”

“Shut up!” The Old Master yelled. He was not going to trust Kaylene again.

Knowing that she had messed up, Kaylene looked at her feet quietly. They passed through the yard and went straight for Harry’s room.

As expected, no one was in the room.

The Old Master frowned and asked, “Where is he? Didn’t you say that he was sleeping?”

Kaylene tried to make up another excuse. “Perhaps he went to the restroom. I’ll go and check.”

“No, you stay here. The butler will go!” ordered the Old Master.

When the butler was about to leave the room, someone from outside screamed, “Second Madam! Something’s wrong!”

Kaylene recognized the voice and quickly replied, “Why are you shouting?” It was the guy who left with Harry just now.

The man immediately shut his mouth when he saw the people in the room.

The Old Master frowned and asked, “What’s the matter?”

The man glanced at Kaylene and kept quiet.

“Say it!” The Old Master hit the ground with his crutch. “Will you be responsible if something goes wrong?”

Without a doubt, the Old Master’s threat worked.

The man told them everything that he knew.

“Something happened to the Second Master. He is at the West Mountain.”

Dumbstruck, Kaylene asked, “What happened?”

The man hesitated for a moment and replied, “He was robbed!”

“What?” Kaylene’s heart sank. “Where is he now?”

The man answered, “He’s hurt. We are carrying him back now.”

Harry was carried into the room before the man finished talking. His injury looked pretty bad. His face was filled with annoyance and frustration. “I’m certainly not going to forgive the Coopers.”

“Say that again!” The Old Master slammed the table and stood up.

Only then did Harry notice the Old Master in the room. He glanced at Kaylene.

Kaylene lowered her head knowing that the situation had gone out of control.

“Brother, why are you here?” Harry asked softly.

Fury roared through the Old Master’s mind. “I know that you have something up your sleeve when you asked her to distract me. But, I did not expect that you would go and make a deal with someone else behind my back. What’s worse is you end up losing both the deal and the money! You’re indeed my brother! You’d better tell me everything you have done,” the Old Master exploded.

Harry gritted his teeth. “Brother, hear me out! It’s not what you think it is. I just wanted to impress you after taking over Valiant East. It was meant to be a surprise, that’s why I didn’t tell you about it. It’s for the company’s sake. ”

“For the company’s sake?” The Old Master snorted. “Then what about the Cooper Family? Do you think that I don’t know what kind of business they have been doing? Why do we need to get involved with them?” The Old Master raged.

Although the Old Master had been ill, his mind remained clear. No one could fool him.

“If you are not going to tell me exactly what happened today, then leave the Granger family at once!” The Old Master glowered.

Harry clenched his teeth and bellowed, “Yes! I admit that I did that for my own benefit. But what’s so wrong with that? It was all because of you! How long do my family and I have to live under your thumb?”

The Old Master trembled with rage. “Under my thumb? Is this what you think all this while?”

Harry shouted, “Yeah? In the past, everyone listened to you in the Granger Family. Then you became the head of the family. Hank was supposed to take over you after that. Is it Amos’ turn now then? You never treated me like I was your brother. Since Steven has grown up, I have to start thinking about my future.”

The Old Master clenched his fist. “Of course, you should start thinking about your future. So from now on, don’t come to the company!”

“Brother!” Harry held the Old Master’s leg and pleaded, “I’m sorry. I will never do it again. Please give me another chance!”

The Old Master frowned. Meanwhile, his assistant received a phone call. He walked to the Old Master immediately and whispered into his ears.

The Old Master went cold with fury. “You even embezzled from the company funds!”
