Chapter 22


    Skr pursed her lips in disdain when someone mentioned Donald. “Is your sister is blind or


    something? How can she fall in love with someone like Donald and even register for a marriage


    certificate with him?”


    Kevin answered, “Let''s not talk about it anymore. He''s a piece of worthless trash!”


    “That''s true. Oh, whatever. We should hurry and pay back the money so that we can leave. Our


    recent luck has been so freaking bad.” Skr spoke in distress as they had lost three hundred


    thousand in each match. That one night cost them almost three million.


    “As long as my sister marries Harrison, he''ll undoubtedly pay for our losses. To him, three million is


    nothing. He''ll help us even if we racked up a loss that''s worth ten million,” Kevin eximed.


    Meanwhile, Jennifer got off a taxi in front of Pollerton Pharma. She took a deep breath while looking


    at the tall, thirty-three-floor building before her. Then, she dialed Harrison''s number.


    “Jenny, what''s up? Why did you suddenly call me?” Harrison''s gentle voice spoke through the


    phone. One could easily guess that he was delighted and anxious upon receiving Jennifer''s call.


    “I need to borrow one million from you. Something happened to Kev,” Jennifer answered in a low


    voice.


    A silence ensued before Harrison finally answered, “Where are you now? Let''s meet up to discuss


    the details.”


    “I''m in front of Pollerton Pharma.”


    Excitement coursed through Harrison upon hearing that. He then responded, “Okay. Could you wait


    for me there? I''lle over to pick you up now.”


    “Okay,” Jennifer agreed after a short moment of hesitation.


    It was not long before Harrison exited the building and noticed Jennifer. Infatuation shed in his


    eyes as he ogled her.


    Jennifer donned a slim-fitting white top


    that sessfully entuated her slim waist and a pair of skinny jeans, revealing her long, alluring


    legs.


    An air of elegance and gentleness emitted from her.


    “Jenny,” Harrison called out while gazing at her intently. At that moment, his lust for her


    overwhelmed his senses.


    Although Donald had never slept with Jennifer, she was still married to him and was legally his wife.


    Harrison got excited when that thought struck him as he enjoyed getting involved in intense and


    complicated entanglements.


    He suggested, “Jenny, why don''t we talk in my office?”


    After a moment of contemtion, Jennifer nodded to agree.


    She soon sat on a couch when they reached Harrison''s office. Then, thetter handed her a cup of


    coffee before sitting beside her.


    Jennifer was so nervous that she shifted to create some space between her and


    Harrison.


    That did not offend Harrison. Instead, he shed her an amused smile and asked, “What''s the


    matter?”


    A frown crept up to his face the next second when Jennifer briefly recounted what had happened to


    Kevin.


    Harrison knew about de Alliance; The head of their organization was Mark White, who was


    infamous for being a brute. Garrett had even warned Harrison countless times not to have any ties


    with de Alliance.


    “One million is not a big deal. However, it won''t be easy for me to retrieve Kevin and his friend,”


    Harrison stated.

    Jennifer''s expression quickly soured.


    Harrison continued smilingly, “Jenny, I''m not sure if I should tell you something.”


    “Go ahead.”


    Harrison sized the woman up before fixing his gaze on her delicate face. Then, he stifled a sigh at


    the thought of her being in love with Donald.


    “One million in addition to six hundred thousand... How many years will it take you to earn that sum


    and repay me?” he cast a suggestive look as he spoke.


    Jennifer froze, lowered her head, and muttered, “I swear I''ll return the money to you. In five, or


    maybe ten years, I''ll be able to give it all back. At the same time, I''ll pay you interest ording to


    the market price.”


    Harrison chuckled. “Need I remind you that Donald doesn''t have a job now? Plus, Kevin is marrying


    a girl soon, and you need to take care of your parents. Considering your annual sry is about 100


    thousand, it will take many more years before you can pay back the sum you owe me.”


    A moment passed before Jennifer replied, “Okay, I see. Thank you for your time.”


    She was about to get up from her seat to leave.


    However, Harrison sat closer to her and suggested in a gentle voice, “There are other ways for you


    to repay me that won''t involve money.”


    That perplexed Jennifer. Her brows furrowed as she stared at Harrison, who gazed at her intensely.


    He borated, “I don''t need you to divorce Donald. Instead, all you have to do is apany me at


    times. Drop by my ce whenever you receive a call from me, and I''ll pay you a fifty thousand


    monthly allowance. Does that sound good to you?”


    With that said, he was about to put his arm around Jennifer''s waist.


    Jennifer''s expression drastically paled at that. Her body trembled as she stood, distanced herself,


    and rified, “I see you as a friend, Harrison, nothing more. Besides, I''m a married woman. Please


    show some respect to me.”


    It was then that Harrison finally exposed his real intention. “I don''t mind. In fact, the thought of


    sleeping with someone else''s woman excites me.


    He knew well of her circumstances;


    Jennifer''s parents could not give her the help she needed, and her brother, Kevin, was a hopeless


    and ipetent fool. Then there was Kevin''s soon-to-be wife, Skr, who was a money-hungry


    woman.


    Thus, there was no doubt the one million and six hundred thousand debt would be a massive


    burden to her family.


    Tears and redness appeared in Jennifer''s as she felt humiliated by Harrison''s words. Despite her


    trembling voice, she expressed, “Harrison, thank you for your offer, but I won''t ept it. I''ll return


    your six hundred thousand as soon as possible.”


    As she finished, she pulled open the door and was about to leave Harrison''s office.


    Still ogling her slender figure, Harrison reminded, “Do not forget that your brother Kevin is still with


    de Alliance. He might lose his hand if you fail to gather one million in three days.”


    Jennifer''s face became as pale as a ghost, and even her bones trembled with disgust.


    “I can rescue him. All it takes is a phone call from me, and he''ll be free. But whether I do that


    depends on your decision now.” Harrison patted the couch before continuing, “I hear your virginity is


    still intact. So, why don''t we-”


    Bang!


    Jennifer flung the door open and stormed out of the room before he could finish his sentence.


    A sarcastic scoff came from Harrison before he sipped on his coffee, unbothered by how he had


    offended her.


    He did not notice that his words and actions were recorded and sent to Donald.


    Elsewhere, Donald had a frosty expression the moment he received the video.


    “Lord Campbell, shall I get rid of Harrison?” Bradley Brown, one of Donald''s mostpetent


    subordinates, seethed. At the same time, he mused, “Does Harrison have a death wish? How dare


    he try to take advantage of Lord Campbell''s wife?”


    “I''ll do it myself.” Donald drove to de Alliance in a hurry while adding, “Also, get a subordinate to


    join me at de Alliance. I''ll retrieve the two idiots in 10 minutes.”


    “Shall I send Tyson over?” Bradley inquired gingerly.


    Tyson Quirk, also known as Tiger, was the head of an organization named Mount Sea Sect that


    operated simrly to de Alliance. However, Mount Sea Sect was inferior to de Alliance, so


    they had always steered clear of thetter organization and its owner, Mark.


    “I''m leaving the decision to you.” Donald ended the call.


    In the car, his darkened expression was so terrifying that no one knew what murderous intent he


    had in his mind.


    Kevin and Skr, who had just paid back one million, sat anxiously in the guest''s room.


    de Alliance was not easy to deal with. Although Kevin and Skr had paid back the money, it


    seemed like the organization was not nning to let the two leave anytime soon.


    “I hope Harrison helps us out. If not, it seems impossible for us to get out of here,” Skr said.


    Kevin was confident in saying, “Don''t worry. Harrison won''t leave us to suffer


    here.”


    After a while, the previously ill-mannered butler entered the room and said respectfully, “Things


    would have been a lot easier if you had told us that you''re acquaintances with Mr. Qu-”


    “We are indeed close with him.” Kevin cleared his throat while wearing a cocky smile, thinking that


    the butler meant to say “Mr. Queen,” Harrison''sst name.


    On the other hand, the butler misread the situation and assumed that Kevin was a close associate


    of Tyson, whosest name was “Mr. Quirk.” He bowed and said, “I''m sorry if I offended you earlier.”


    A smug look crept up Kevin''s face. He then strode out of the building with Skr while saying,


    “See? Harrison is indeed a capable man.


    It was then that a Bentley Continental pulled over before him just as he and Skr left the building.


    The car window rolled down to reveal Donald, who coldly instructed, “Get in.”
