Chapter 48.

Chapter 48.

“See?”

Harris scoffed.

“She isn't regretful of her actions. You'd better step aside now and allow me to deal with her before she is taken away.”

At that moment, the officers arrived.

Seeing them, Jessy put on a cry.

Did she think Frederick was joking earlier?

Hahahahaha.

“There she is.”

He pointed at her.

“No one will take my wife away.”

Harris blocked the way.

“Harris, I will order them to take you along if you don't step away from there.”

When Frederick threatened him, Harris stepped aside.

But what he did, Jessy was upset.

“Are you trying to betray me?”

However, Harris didn't say a word to her,

Instead, he left the living room, wiping the tears on his face.

As she was being handcuffed, Jessy kept crying.

But even for once, she never said she was sorry for what she did.

“Do you see that?”

Frederick said, looking at Jessy as she was being taken out of the house.

Jessy has so much pride, I swear,

Even Frederick thought she would apologize for her mistake.

Well,

Since she has been taken out of the house, I would be at peace for the time being.

TWO WEEKS LATER

‘Keeping more than five billion dollars in your account isn’t the right thing, you should invest it before you lose it completely.’

My little sis, Kylie advised when she visited yesterday.

And it does make sense.

The way Harris has been clinging to me these past few days is suspicious,

Maybe he knows the huge amount of money I have stacked up in my savings account, and he wants to loot it.

Anyway, he can never fool me, I know he isn’t up to any good.

The oil bank company is still on his mind so, nothing Harris would do will make me trust him.

“Are you sure about this?”

Frederick asked after I had told him what I intend doing with the money.

“Yes. They are increasing every week so, I should invest it somewhere else.”

He agreed with me,

But when he asked me what I wanted to invest in, I couldn’t answer.

Truthfully, even I don’t know what to invest in yet,

“Perhaps you will know.”

He chuckled softly and shook his head.

“No, it is your money so, you should think about what to do with it.”

Well, that is correct.

“Okay then,”

I shrugged my shoulders.

After Frederick has left,

I started researching a profitable business to venture into.

Then it crossed my mind,

What if I invest in real estate?

That is the trend these days,

And it will generate a lot of money for me within a short period of time.

Also, Harris succeeded in taking away that estate from me so, having one or more in my name will anger him.

Wow!

What a brilliant idea.

“Do you know of anywhere I can purchase an estate?”

I asked my assistant over the phone after making up my mind.

“Of course, Mrs. Frederick.”

Great!

“Do you want me to take you there today?”

Uhm,

I can’t make it today because I’ve been having a mild pain in my legs.

But if the person can make it to the mansion, then I will be glad.

“I will talk to him, Ma’am, and give you the feedback.”

A few minutes after I ended the call, he called back and said the man was willing to come.

Wonderful!

This is just the beginning, Harris.

Hahahaha.

An hour later, a maid knocked on the door and said I’ve got a guest waiting downstairs.

Since my assistant had already told me that the man was on his way, I knew the guest she was talking about.

“Take him to the garden and entertain him, I will be right there.”

It is better to have a business talk with him in the garden than inside the house.

Harris is around,

He has always been in the house since Jessy was locked up in prison.

“Good day, Mrs. Frederick.”

He bowed his head as soon as I arrived in the garden.

I nodded my head to him and showed him his chair.

“Please sit.”

He sat down and without wasting much time, he brought out a bundle of files and stacked them on the glass table.

“Your assistant has already explained everything to me, Ma’am,”

That is what I love working with that guy, always easing my work.

“And I will be more than happy to do business with you.”

He added.

Well,

Let’s hope this turns out well.

“So, where and where do you have them available?”

I watched as he gently separated the files, lining them on the table.

As he was doing that,

Harris invaded our privacy.

Before I could tell the man to take the files away, he had already seen what that was.

“Estates”

He smirked.

“What are you doing with all these?”

And what business of his is it?

“Are you planning on purchasing an estate?”

His eyes widened in shock when I bobbed my head.

“You are buying an estate?”

He gasped.

Of course, Harris.

I promised to take my revenge on you so, this is part of it.

“Not one.”

I said and he gasped shockingly.

“Can you walk away, please? I am in the middle of a business right now.”

I waved my fingers, but he didn’t move a step.

He picked up one of the files and after going through it, tossed it on the table.

“Do not buy any of these, it isn’t legit.”

Uhn?

“Excuse me, Mr. Harris, my business isn’t illegal, and whatever I sell is legit. Your Dad, Mr. Frederick has bought a lot of property from me…”

Pak!

What da!

“When I talk, you don’t interrupt me.”

He snarled at the man.

“What is the meaning of this, Harris?”

How could he slap the man because he is saying the truth?

Harris is so stupid.

“This man is old enough to be your Dad. What is your problem?”

I scolded him.

“Don’t you ever say that again, Blair, he can never be my Dad. And you…”

He turned to the man who was holding his face in pain.

“The next time I see you in this house, I will make sure you lose both of your legs!”

“Can you stop that, Harris? You are so annoying.”

But the man got scared of the threats, returned all the files in the bag, and stood up.

“I am sorry, Mrs. Frederick, but I have to leave. If you are still interested in the estates, perhaps you can come find me in my office.”

He bowed his head and hurried off.
