Chapter 449
Chapter 449
I thought that I had already figured it out before. I knew that there would be no result when I was with Harrison. It was just that time was up or he was tired of me. Then we could get together and disperse. I even tried hard not to rely on him.
"It seems that as long as I don't rely on him, I can reduce my dependence on him. In this way, it won't be too painful to separate in the future, but in fact, I think it is too simple."
Now I can't even stand the result of being completely separated from you.
Harrison looked at me and asked, "Are you in such a hurry to separate from me?"
"How could it be me? It's obviously because of you," I said with a forced smile.
"If you want to leave, you don't have to go on. I have my own plans for other things."
After that, Harrison began to deal with his own affairs.
I thought he was just pretending to be busy, but in fact, he was very upset.
After standing there and thinking for a moment, I finally calmed down and calmly said to him, "Harrison, if my existence delays your career, I will not continue to pester you."
"I never thought about letting you leave. Don't think too much."
His words had the same meaning as before, but they didn't change.
I knew that there was no point in staying here any longer, so I said something and left. Harrison didn't say a word.
However, to my surprise, as soon as I closed the door of Harrison's office, Abbie appeared in front of me.
Abbie looked at me coldly. "Let's have a chat?"
After that, she turned around and left.
I'm not asking for my opinion. I'm just informing you.
Without a second thought, I caught up with her and stopped at the stairs.
Pa!
"Leave Harrison."
As soon as I stopped, I unexpectedly received Abbie's slap.
"Why do you want me to leave just like that? Harrison hasn't spoken yet," I said coldly.
"Did you hear what I said in the office just now? Things have already come to this point, and you're still planning to continue harming him?" Abbie's tone was ice-cold.
Her words were like a knife, cutting deep into my heart.
"To harm him? How could I be willing to do such a thing? But it's too hypocritical of you to ask me to leave. It's obvious that you want to be with Harrison. Why do you have to pretend to be righteous?"
"No matter how righteous I am, at least I'm better than you!" Abbie said angrily.
"Abbie, if you don't have the ability to grasp a man's heart, you have to admit that you are so beautiful. Even if you don't have Harrison, there will be someone else. Understand?" I tried to persuade her earnestly.
Harrison didn't want to tell me what Abbie had said, so he had to use some small tricks.
No matter what the result is, I won't let go of Harrison's hand so easily, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to push me away.
Abbie suddenly laughed, and then glared fiercely at me. "Because I know that he will never choose you. Do you know what the price of choosing you is? It's just a few big families working together against his company. Do you think he's willing to do something like this?"
"How is this possible?" I was surprised.
"I believe you know better than me how important Harrison's company is to him. If you lose the most important thing because of you, how do you think he will face you?"
I didn't expect this answer. I couldn't accept it for a moment.
Looking at the meaningful smile on Abbie's face, I quickly shook my head and said, "No, it won't happen. How could those people target me just because Harrison is with me? This is completely unreasonable."
"That's because Harrison is someone they want from within. Since he can't be used by any of them, it's better to destroy him." Abbie denied her suspicions.
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered what Harrison had told me before. He said that between the two sisters of the Cook family, the family property belonged to whoever got married first. Did he marry Callen but not inherit the inheritance? Was there a reason for the marriage between Aviana and Harrison?
But even so, there was no reason for the big families to target Harrison. Was there anything else I didn't know about?
"That's right. Our family is also involved," Abbie said matter-of-factly.
I looked at Abbie without saying a word, forcing myself to digest the truth.
Abbie didn't care if she was listening or not, and continued, "The relationship between the family and the family itself is connected.
Harrison wasn't used by these families back then, but he was able to develop on his own. The most important thing is that there are benefits involved as well."
"What does this have to do with his personal feelings?" I asked.
"If you want to develop in business, you have to have a backer. Is it good for him to choose you? Will everyone accept Harrison's selfdestruction?" Abbie's tone was full of undisguised mockery.
I didn't understand what Abbie had said, nor did I experience it. Naturally, I wouldn't understand the so-called family connection she had mentioned, but I understood that it would ruin my own future.
Although he hadn't been in contact with Harrison for a long time, I knew how much he cherished the company. How could the company run by himself not cherish it? It was a lie to say that he didn't care.
Abbie suddenly pushed me and said unhappily, "When others talk to you, listen carefully. Don't be absent-minded. This is the least respect for people!" Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Do I still need your respect?" I replied flatly.
"You!"
I interrupted Abbie, "I heard what you said just now. If there's nothing else, I'll go first."
With that, I left without waiting for Abbie's reply.
I don't want to listen to Abbie's words anymore. I just don't want to listen to those great principles of hers. I know all of them, but what can I do if I can't?
"It's impossible for me to take back my feelings for Harrison so easily. I can take all of them without saying anything else. In that case, is there still a need to talk to her? If I continue to talk, it will only make my mood more complicated."
When I got back to my office, I began to devote myself to my work, in order to stop myself from thinking too much.
It had been a very long morning, and it wasn't easy for it to be time for lunch. I wanted to have a good chat with Harrison and talk about Abbie's words with me. I wanted to know what he was thinking.
"I think it's better to tell Harrison about these things than to let me think about it alone."
However, Harrison didn't give me the chance. Before I went to find him during lunch break, he called me and said that he would have a meeting in the afternoon. Now he needed to go back to his company to sort out his things.
"When will you come back?" I asked.
Harrison seemed to be busy on the other side of the phone. He asked absent- mindedly, "What's the matter?"
"... Go ahead and do your work. We'll talk about it later." When the words were about to come out of his mouth, I took them back.
Harrison didn't ask more and hung up the phone.
Looking at the number on the black screen, my heart was full of mixed feelings.
