Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Harris’s Dirty Job

The conversation between father and son was still tense in Harris’s office. The only one who can help Harry now is Roger. He really hopes that Roger will really help him to restore Victor’s good name. Because he could judge that Roger’s personality actually had a strong opinion if it didn’t involve personal feelings. Even though Roger looks very strict and cruel in his eyes, Roger also loves his two sons even though his sons committed crimes.

"I will meet Victor’s family to apologize sincerely. I will not give him bribes because I am not the type of person who solves problems with just money."

"But, it’s likely that Harris will be locked up in prison for ten years. Is that okay with you?"

"Ten years is enough for him to reflect on his mistakes in trapping that innocent child." Roger took a flash disk on the table then gave it to Harry. "In this flash disk, all the evidence you need is there, including Harris’ relationship with his close acquaintances who are causing trouble."

"Could it be that you’ve seen all the evidence that Harris has so far, but you’re still hiding it all!"

"All of the crime incidents were committed by Harris’ circle of friends, in fact Harris was not directly involved with them. However, the crime that Harris committed was that Harris did not admit that he was in close contact with them and wanted to prevent the crimes committed by his friends."

"So, in this flash disk, Harris also hid the dirty evidence that all his friends did?"

"Actually, I’m still confused about why he wanted to do this. If his position is like this, it can be concluded that he is also collaborating with criminals."

Harry propped his chin up as he paced back and forth. "But, when I interrogated him every time his friends died, he always acted as if he didn’t know anything."

"Therefore, I really support you every night to always be a hero."

"But, you support me so that the Harperwood family is well known to everyone, right? You’re just using me for your own benefit."

"I never treated you as a tool. You just misunderstood me all this time. In fact, I want to let you go from now on. You already have a wife who can protect you. Now the choice is yours. Which path will you choose?"

"If I stop working and give up my title, will you be angry?"

Roger put on a firm look while folding his arms. "Are you sure about your decision? What you said just now, it’s like you’re giving up everything you have. All the achievements you’ve received for decades, do you really want to give it up?"

"Yes, I will give it all up. Since I married Claudia, I have learned many things from her. Even though I live a simple life with my wife, I am already very happy. As long as I was a duke and minister of palace defense, I never felt happiness even though everyone wanted to achieve it."

"It turns out that your wife is the only one who managed to make you smile. I really salute Claudia."

"Therefore, from this moment on, I want you to stop making demands on me. After everything is over, I will live with Claudia in San Marina."

*****

Towards the afternoon, Harris wanted to go home because he didn’t want his ex-fiancé to catch a cold because the air was getting cold. Even though Harris wanted to go home immediately, Claudia still prevented him because she didn’t want Harry’s secret mission to end in failure.

"Wait a minute, Harris!"

"What is it?"

"I still want to walk with you some more. I don’t want to go home."

Harris folded his hands. "Are you still afraid of Harry?"

Claudia nodded. "Because I can’t stand Harry being cold to me even though we live together. Every time I bring up marriage, he always avoids me."

"Then, you can leave that house and live alone in your late family’s residence."

"Actually, I want to do it. But, I still can’t bear to leave Harry alone."

"Your heart is too soft, Claudia. Why keep a bastard like him! If he doesn’t love you anymore, you should just leave him!"

Hearing her husband being insulted, Claudia looked down while clenching her fists tightly. "Harry doesn’t deserve to be called a bastard. He’s still a good person in my eyes."

"You-"

"Looks like I came to you just in time."

Seeing Harry coming towards her with various police officers, Claudia showed an excited smile. Finally she could be free from this disgusting play. She ran over to Harry and hugged him tightly. It doesn’t matter that Harris is very angry because he is easily deceived.

"Thank you for saving me, Harry," whispered Claudia.

"Just a thank you later. I have to catch this bastard now." Harry let go of the hug then approached his angry half-brother.

Harris laughed psychopathically while glaring at his ex-girlfriend who was hiding behind a group of police officers. "So, you all were deceiving me all this time!"

Harry lifted the corners of his lips. "It’s more likely that you are very stupid because you are easily fooled by my wife." He showed an official arrest warrant that had been stamped. "You think you’ll be safe if you keep hiding? Even your father has given up and wants you to atone for all your crimes in prison."

"What sin have I committed?"

"You framed Victor as an agent selling fake jewelry. You deliberately framed him even though it was actually you who did it. Then, I arrested the fake jewelry seller. Now you can just give up." Harry put his right hand in his trouser pocket. "I didn’t expect you to be a very good and loyal friend. You hid all the evidence of the crimes your friends had committed against all members of the Scarlet Community."

For a moment, Harris’ eyes focused on his ex-girlfriend, who looked furious after hearing all the things Harry had mentioned. "Do you believe what your husband says, Claudia?"
