Chapter 263 Charles’s Arrival

Chapter 263 Charles’s Arrival

Harrison watched both of them fading away from her sight.

Then she took a seat in public gallery, which was then filled with people.

“Harrison.” A familiar voice rushed into her ears.

Harrison turned around, looking a bit surprised, “Susan? Why are you here?”

“My godfather got involved in this case. Of course I gotta be here.” Susan answered.

Actually, it was Susan who self-proclaimed Martha as her godfather. Commonly speaking, it took a

serious ceremony to have a godfather according to the tradition in Northfield.

But Susan seemed to be an eccentric exception.

“Where is Manuel?” asked Harrison.

“Hey, it seems that your concern about him has outweighed that about me! I gotta tell you I am pissed.”

Said Susan with a sulky look.

Speechless, Harrison added, “But you have married him. My concern about him is also a kind of

concern about you.”

“Stop mentioning that we’re married. That’s disgusting.”

“So what about your life living with this ‘roommate’?”

“Not that pleasant. We live our own lives separately. I feel great whenever he’s out of my sight. I feel

like getting somewhere else to sleep.”

“But his leg got disabled because of you. Can’t you be nice to him?” Harrison questioned.

“Justine hired a personal servant for him. She’s young and beautiful. What else can I do for him?”

“Are you being jealous?”

“Jealous of what? I really hope that the servant will hook up with him and he will then

divorce me.”

Hearing that, Harrison didn’t feel like continuing with the conversation.

Of course, she could understand Susan’s feelings.

Even though Harrison herself knew the truth, from Susan’s perspective, she wouldn’t be likely to accept

Manuel’s affection for her. After all, it was he who conspired to separate her from Henry with dirty tricks.

As for Henry’s conspiracy, Manuel chose to deal with it in his own way, to which Harrison pay

respect.

“Hey, Charles is here.” Susan suddenly uttered.

Hearing that, Harrison held back what she tried to say to mediate between Susan and

Manuel.

She turned to take a look-as expected, Charles was walking toward her.

“What are you doing here?” Susan maintained hostility against him.

Back into the old days, she used to believe that he was a nice guy with gentle manner and good looks

while sparing no endeavor to show his love for Harrison.

But now, she found him disgusting. When compared with Oscar, he was literally a loser.

“After all, Harrison and I used to be in a relationship. It’s part of my duty to show a bit of concern about

the case her father got involved.” As always, he faked a humble and

considerate look.

“Thank you.” Harrison simply smiled.

Of course, Harrison was not that stupid to quarrel with him in front of the public.

What was more, she knew what he was up for this time-he wanted to see Martha being. proven guilty.

Since then, she was willing to have him sitting nearby.

“I heard that it’s Oscar who is gonna be Martha’s defense lawyer. Is that true?” asked Charles

suddenly.

Just a day ago, they informed Kash Hunter that he didn’t need to present himself as the defense

lawyer. Though there was an unpleasant dispute happening, it soon dissolved after they paid him the

compensation.

According to the rule in Northfield, the name of the defense lawyer should be reported to the court in

advance, of course, Oscar’s name had been reported. After a series of official scrutiny, he was formally

approved.

Commonly speaking, that kind of information should be kept unknown. However, Charles somehow

managed to get it.

Needless to say, Charles had done a lot to manipulate the case. Whenever there was a change, he

would get the leak.

“You’re right.” Harrison casually replied.

“Has he ever done a job as a defense lawyer?” Charles continued to mock, “I don’t mean to be judgy.

For all these days, he did surprise us a lot. However, law is nothing easy to be trifled with. I am afraid

Martha may end up with a worse penalty once Oscar messes it up.” “Charles, if you are here to hear

the case only, just stay quiet. As for the result, it has nothing. to do with you. Judging from your

unnecessary concern about my father, I am afraid if you are up for something else.”

Hearing that, Charles appeared a bit awkward.

But Harrison simply ignored him with obvious disdain.

Holding back his anger, Charles started to expect her miserable look after Martha was proven guilty.

Now he didn’t intend to waste any time arguing with her.

However, he somehow felt like Harrison suddenly became too eloquent to be refuted.

He then walked over to her and was about to sit down next to her.

But then someone suddenly rushed over and deliberately bumped onto Charles.

Charles almost tumbled down because of that.

Luckily, he managed to hold himself steady by grabbing the chair.

“Sorry, the seat is mine.” It was Theodore. While speaking, he took the seat.

Charles appeared a bit irritated.

However, out of a decent manner, he had to control his own anger.

After all, it was known to all that Theodore had been so aggressive and domineering that he would

revenge on whoever offended him at all costs.

Charles swallowed down his anger. He stood up straight and smoothed his suit awkwardly. But then he

added in a mocking tone, “Oscar has appointed you to be his wife’s security guard?”

“Harrison has been the apple of his eyes. Of course she deserves the best security guard in case of

some kind of bastard preying on her again.” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Theodore, you’d better watch your language!” Charles huffed in low voice. Obviously, he was

exasperated.

“I have already restrained my language. Otherwise, I would have mentioned you begging for…”

apparently, Theodore started to mention the great humiliation of Charles last time.

Hearing that, Charles turned livid.

He thought they should have forgotten about it.

Gritting his teeth, Charles walked away with madness.

Susan couldn’t help getting thrilled when seeing that.

She said to Theodore, “Hey, I didn’t expect an idle guy like you actually appeared so talkative in critical

moment.”

“An idle guy? I suppose that adjective applies to you more than me. Listen, girl, I am much more

capable than you have ever expected.”

“So cocky you are.” Susan could notice that Theodore was being offensive.

However, she had barely talked to him before.

What was wrong with him today?

“Hey, the session starts.” Harrison hurried to remind them.

She felt like Susan was gonna fight him right away if she didn’t distract her attention.

When Theodore was about to refute, he held it back.

There was no need to argue with her.

After all, his best friend, Manuel, still deeply fell for her.
