You Are My Mr Wright
Chapter 51 Such a Family

She had been tossing and turning all night without even closing her eyes for a moment, and it was only in the early morning that heavy drowsiness came over her, making her a little sleepy. When she went to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water, she woke up immediately.

When she went downstairs, she found that the old lady was also snoring on the sofa. Obviously, she didn't sleep well last night.

Covering her with the blanket, Harriet Smith took out her mobile phone and tried to call Beau again.

Two seconds, three seconds, five seconds, seven seconds...

"Hello..."

When that all-too-familiar low voice came through the phone, her heart, and her body relaxed completely: "Have you arrived there? Are you all right?"

"Yes..." He answered briefly.

After a short pause, she continued to ask, "Is uncle all right?"

"Very good..." This time it became two words, but there seemed to be a little impatience in his deep voice. "Is there anything else?"

"No, when you arrived in the Butte County..."

However, before she could finish her words, he interrupted her. "I'm busy now. I will hang up the phone I didn't hear her screaming."

The last sentence confused her. He didn't hear her screaming, who was screaming?

But she didn't think too much about it. He must be very busy now. She sent a text message for fear of disturbing him again.

...Be careful over there, take care of yourself, and be careful of the aftershocks, safely... come back...

She had typed the word "come back" three times and deleted it three times. In the end, she hesitated and firmly typed it and sent it out.

After sending the text message, Harriet Smith stared at the screen for a long time. She thought that maybe he would simply reply with "yes".

However, after waiting for five minutes, the phone screen did not even light up. She thought that he must be really busy.

After leaving her alone in Washington, plus what had happened like that, she was not in the mood to go shopping anymore and wanted to go back to Tranton

He said that he would go straight back to Tranton from Butte County. She still felt at ease staying in the House of Wright, because as long as he returned to Tranton, she could see him at first sight.

She decided to tell the old lady her thoughts. Although it was a little regretful, the old lady did not force her to stay. She just told her to be careful on the way.

Harriet Smith smiled and agreed. She hugged the old lady intimately, pulled her suitcase, and rushed to the airport.

It was really different to take the airplane alone compared to with a companion. It seemed a little lonely.

She didn't sleep well all night. When she got on the plane, she still didn't feel sleepy. She could only look at the white clouds and the sky outside the window out of boredom.

It was in the afternoon when she returned to the House of Wright. Lainey Brown and Sykes Wright were not there. They said that they had gone to the fundraising venue.

She tidied up her suitcase, took out the gifts she bought in Washington, and planned to go home.

However, when she pushed open the door of the living room, she was stunned.

The living room was in a mess as if there had been thieves before, and the things were overturned on the ground.

"Mom, mom, what's wrong? Did ta thief come in? Did you call the police?"

As she shouted, Harriet Smith quickly walked into the room, only to see a group of men in suits pulling Vera Brion's hair and holding knives in their hands. They were bright and dazzling. Henry Smith, on the other hand, helped Sophia Scott, who was trembling, sit by the bed.

Seeing this, Harriet Smith knew what was going on. Vera Brion loved gambling so much that she didn't change her mind. She didn't have enough money, so the group of people came to her door. Vera Brion's eyes lit up when she saw Harriet Smith. It was as if she had seen a savior as she spoke to the group of men.

"This is my sister, the wife of Chairman Wright. Do you know the Companies of the Wright Family in Tranton? She has money. Go and get it from my sister!"

Hearing this, Harriet Smith felt disgusted. She immediately said, "I'm not Chairman Wright's wife, and I don't have money. She borrowed money from you. You can do whatever you want to her!" Hearing this, Vera Brion shouted, "Harriet Smith!"

As if she didn't hear her words, she gently patted Sophia Scott's shoulder and ignored Vera Brion.

These men looked at each other, sneered, and inhaled the smoke deeply from their cigarette, "we said in advance. If you can't pay, we will cut off your fingers."

"Mom, Dad, they're serious. They will cut my fingers, save me quickly! I will not do it again! I'll change!" Vera Brion shouted.

Henry Smith and Sophia Scott were extremely disappointed with her and did not say anything.

"Cut the crap!"

The dazzling and bright knife approached Vera Brion's little finger. She was so scared that her face turned pale and her body trembled with fear. Harriet Smith just looked on her coldly. If she had known this would happen, why would she have been like this?

It was precisely because she was still stubborn that she ended up like this. You must teach her a lesson.

Only when she felt pain and fear would she restrain herself.

The knife finally got close to Vera Brion. The sharp tip of the knife cut open the skin on Vera Brion's little finger, and she screamed in pain. Henry Smith and Sophia Scott couldn't stand it anymore, but it was not good to talk to Harriet anymore. They hesitated but were anxious. Harriet Smith simply turned her eyes away from her.

"Dad, Mom, I'm pregnant! I've been pregnant for two months. I don't want my fingers to be cut off. Save me, please save me!"

Vera Brion cried miserably. Sophia Scott finally couldn't bear it anymore. "Harriet, could you save her? I beg you, please save her one last time!" Henry Smith also said, "I am too ashamed to beg you again, but Harriet, just take it as a blessing for the baby in your belly and save her once." After a moment of silence, Harriet Smith finally said, "I can save her, but she must write me an agreement."

"No problem, I'll write, I'll write." Vera Brion quickly rushed to answer. At this time, If she could help her, she would like to write down ten agreements. Only then did she look at the leader of the men who was smoking. "I'll pay for her money. How much is it?"

"140 million dollars." The leader took a long pull on her cigarette and shook his legs leisurely.

"140 million dollars?" Harriet Smith gritted her teeth. She even wanted to kill Vera Brion

Vera Brion was so scared that she didn't even dare to raise her head and kept her head down.

Ever since she found out that Harriet Smith and Beau Wright were married, she had become very confident. She was even more proud of herself in the casino. Just say that Beau Wright, the well-known CEO in Tranton, was her brother-in-law.

Naturally, a lot of people were willing to lend her money. Therefore, she did not have a penny to borrow 140 million dollars from the casino and then completely lost. Henry Smith couldn't stop sighing and fiercely pointed at Vera Brion.

"Yes, 140 million dollars. Do you have it or not? If you do, you should pay for it quickly. If you don't have it, you can leave. Don't delay us from cutting her fingers." The knife was spinning in the leader's hand, and it might suddenly fall down at any time.

"I do. Let her finish the agreement first, and then I will go and get the money with you."

"Okay, anyway, I don't care about it. Write it down. What are you looking at?"

The bald man knocked on the table with the knife, which scared Vera Brion so much that she could not write.

Half an hour later, the agreement was completed according to Harriet Smith's request. She glanced at Vera Brion and put the agreement away.
