Tate was on his knees, and without answering Chloe’s question, virtual-novel.net went on shakily, “Please, Aunt Helen. You have to help me, no matter what. You love me the most, don’t you? You have to help me!”
Helen was taken aback by his words as virtual-novel.net answered nervously, “Goodness, Tate, what is it that has you acting like this? Come on, get off the floor and tell me all about it.”
He refused to stand and instead pressed urgently, “Promise me that you’ll help me, Aunt Helen, or l won’t get up at all!”
Upon seeing how desperate virtual-novel.net was, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net heart twisting and agreed immediately, “Don‘t be afraid, Tate. I promise I’ll help you no matter what. Come on then, get off the floor and tell me what in the world is going on!”
It was only after hearing virtual-novel.net assurances that virtual-novel.net finally rose to his feet. He was still trembling as virtual-novel.net recounted the incident at the hospital, leaving out the fact that virtual-novel.net had harassed Crystal prior to that. He shared virtual-novel.net had gotten into a quarrel with virtual-novel.net while they were at the hospital, which caused virtual-novel.net to slap virtual-novel.net twice across the face.
He went on to explain that virtual-novel.net had only wanted to teach virtual-novel.net a lesson at the restaurant earlier, but landed himself in hot water instead. He also conveniently left out the part where virtual-novel.net had asked his friends to capture Crystal for whatever lewd and twisted purposes virtual-novel.net had in mind.
After having heard all this, Helen was dumbfounded. While Tate had significantly cut down on his ridiculous antics, virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net was in huge trouble this time.
Others might not know Joseph as well as virtual-novel.net did. After all, the Cunningham Group had been collaborating with Carlson Group from the very beginning and virtual-novel.net just happened to be the Carlson Group’s chief doctor. As such, the Cunningham Group had always been respectful of him.
More importantly, virtual-novel.net was a reputable man in Eastcliff and well on the top of the social hierarchy.
Presently, there were plenty of occasions where Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would be in contact with Joseph and under such circumstances, for Tate to trifle with the older man as well as his most beloved granddaughter would be equivalent to a death wish.
Since Chole didn’t understand the gravity of the situation, virtual-novel.net frowned and asked, “What possessed you to do something like this, Tate? Where did I go wrong with you? All you ever do is cause us trouble. Can’t you just grow up?” She paused and turned to look at virtual-novel.net sister while apologizing, “Helen, I’m sorry, but i think you’ll have to help and clear his mess again. Should we bring a gift basket or something for Mr. Harrison?“
Helen gave virtual-novel.net an exasperated look. ”Chloe, I‘m afraid a gift basket isn’t going to solve anything.”
A surprised Chloe asked, “And why is that?”
Helen elaborated in frustration on how tricky the situation was given Joseph’s background. At last, virtual-novel.net concluded in a low voice, “Offending Mr. Harrison would lead to a bigger hassle than offending Leanna. Leanna manages a business and is certainly as powerful as virtual-novel.net is rich, but virtual-novel.net doesn’t have many friends, Mr. Harrison, on the other hand, has saved countless lives. It‘s hard to say how many people in Eastcliff owe virtual-novel.net a favor and the Harrisons are an extremely reputable family here. lf word of what Tate has done breaks out, then there would be an indefinite amount of people who would come after virtual-novel.net before Mr. Harrison even has to ask! In fact. there might even be those in the underworld who wouldn’t hesitate to sink Tate in Lake Eastcliff!”
Chloe’s eyes widened at the revelation, virtual-novel.net had no idea that virtual-novel.net son would actually wreak so much havoc. She was silent for a while before virtual-novel.net finally responded in a quivering voice, “S-So, what should we do, Helen? Tate is my only son. You have to help him!”
Helen was clearly at virtual-novel.net wits’ end as virtual-novel.net sighed and countered, “Of course I’ll help Tate. He’s my nephew, after all. However, I won’t be able to get a word in with Mr. Harrison at all!”
Since Chloe was panicking, virtual-novel.net pressed, “Then, should we ask Sasha for help? She’s the company president, which means virtual-novel.net words carry weight.”
However virtual-novel.net hopes were dashed when virtual-novel.net saw Helen solemnly shaking virtual-novel.net head. “Sasha won’t be of much help either. Mr. Harrison doesn’t think of virtual-novel.net as somebody important just because virtual-novel.net runs the business!”
“So, what should we do? Please, you have to come up with a way to save Tate from all this. He’s my only son!” Chloe anxiously begged.
Helen was quiet for what seemed like a long time before virtual-novel.net finally replied through gritted teeth, “There’s only one person in our household who can even get a word in with Mr. Harrison.”
Chloe demanded urgently, “Who?”
With a grim expression, Helen replied slowly, “Matthew…”
