Chapter 13 Let's Sign a Contract
Chapter 13 Let's Sign a Contract
Walking on the cold street, Harriet Smith felt that her ears were almost frozen. It was surprisingly cold
today!
The phone vibrated. It was a message from Sophia Scott, Harriet's mother, who said that they had
already traveled back and the train arrived at 10 o'clock in the morning.
After hanging up the phone, she went to school in a hurry. Yesterday, it happened so suddenly without
asking for leave. She must have to deal with the aftermath!
The principal was reasonable and just warned her to be careful in the future.
She agreed one by one. She took another day off, and the principal did not say anything and agreed.
After breakfast, Harriet Smith went to the train station in a hurry. The train was temporarily late. It took
40 minutes to see them.
When they got closer, she could hear Sophia Scott's complaint. "The train is late every time. My waist
is in pain now."
Henry Smith just smiled and said, "I asked you to take the high-speed train, but you refused. The
treatment of spending more than half of the money is different. It's fast, the environment is good and
comfortable."
Harriet Smith took the suitcase from Henry Smith and supported Sophia Scott with one hand. "Mom
and Dad, let's go to the KFC next to us. I have something to tell you."
She didn't intend to tell her parents about the house. After all, they were old and in poor health. She
was afraid that they couldn't bear it.
But now Lucas Smith couldn't count on him at all. She couldn't solve it alone, so she could only tell the
truth.
After ordering three cups of coffee, Harriet Smith hesitated for a moment before telling them what Vera
Brion had done.
Upon hearing that the house had been sold, Sophia Scott's body shook due to the impact. Henry
Smith, who was standing by the side, quickly supported her, and his face and breathing became heavy.
After a long while, Henry Smith said, "Forget it!"
"Dad!!" Harriet Smith couldn't believe what she had heard!
"That house was bought by your grandfather for your brother, and your brother's name was written on
the property ownership certificate. He can do whatever he wants."
Harriet Smith's breathing became rapid. "Dad, look what Vera Brion did! Are you so indulgent that you
don't care?"
"What am I supposed to do? I can teach my son a lesson, but what about the daughter-in-law?" Henry
Smith let out a long sigh. "When your brother married her, I didn't agree. In the end, they eloped and
sought death. I couldn't even control them back then, let alone now."
"So, just pretend that nothing happened?" Harriet Smith felt that it was absurd!
"Your brother only listens to Vera Brion, and now that she sold the house, he won't even say a word. "
Henry Smith looked at Harriet Smith and said, "How could I not know her personality? To be honest, I'm
not counting on her supporting your mother and me in old age. Now that the house has been sold and
she has taken the money. In the future, we will live together. And they will live together. I never count
on your brother ..."
Harriet Smith was so angry that her nails had sunk into the tender flesh in her palms, but what could
she do?
"Once Vera Brion takes the money, you'll never get it back!!"
"Dad, I agree. I can also find a house, but I have one request!"
"Harriet, go ahead."
"Vera Brion will definitely come again. At that time, if she dares to step into the house, I will dozen her
all over the ground search tooth. Neither of you can stop me, and neither of you can protect her!" She
gritted her teeth, saying word by word.
Henry Smith and Sophia Scott nodded in agreement.
Harriet Smith suppressed the raging flames in her chest and called Miss Farson, asking Miss Farson to Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
help find a suite.
Unexpectedly, the call was just in time. Miss George said there is a house for rent next door, so she
would call the landlord to ask.
Harriet Smith had been to Miss George's house before, so she naturally knew the structure, size, and
traffic condiction, so she immediately agreed.
After a while, the price was settled. The only thing have to do was to sign the contract and hand in the
money.
She asked her parents to move things first, and she went to see the landlord with Miss George to do
the rest.
After asking for leave, Miss George hurried to the cafe where Harriet Smith was waiting.
"Don't you have a house? Why are you in such a hurry to rent a house now? Do you want to move out
and live here by yourself?"
Harriet Smith shook her head with a wry smile and told Grace George the whole story.
Hearing this, Grace George suddenly understood. She was also very angry with Vera Brion's behavior,
but she felt more helpless. Every family has its own hard nut to crack!
"Let's go and see the house."
Half an hour later.
Harriet Smith looked around the room several times. There were no cracks or any signs of damage.
The landlord stood behind her and said, "Miss, don't worry. This house is very good. If I hadn't gone
abroad to take care of my son, I would never have rented it out!"
Nodding, she turned around and said, "Let's sign the contract."
After signing the contract and paying the bill, Henry Smith and Sophia Scott happened to have brought
everything here.
The four of them were busy tidying up the room. When they were all finished, it was already six o'clock.
It was already dark in the short days of December.
Sophia Scott had prepared the food and insisted on keeping Grace George for dinner. Since she
couldn't refuse, Grace George agreed with a smile.
As soon as she sat down at the dining table, her cell phone rang. It was Grace's phone. She answered,
"Hello?"
Nobody knew what the other side said. Her face turned pale in an instant, without a trace of red. Even
her hand holding the chopsticks was shaking slightly.
Looking at Grace George's action, Harriet Smith couldn't help frowning. She was a little worried and
wanted to know what was going on.
"Sorry, I have something urgent to do now. Thank you for your hospitality."
As soon as she finished speaking, Harriet Smith got up and was about to leave. Harriet Smith quickly
grabbed her hand and got up. "Let's go together."
Grace George hesitated for a moment and nodded.
It was not until they sat in the taxi that Harriet Smith asked, "What happened? Why do you look so
pale?"
Covering her face with both hands, Grace George slowly said, "My brother got drunk in the bar and got
into trouble. Now he is fighting with someone."
Harriet Smith asked the taxi driver to drive faster and then called Sykes Wright. She was afraid that she
couldn't teach today.
After a while, the phone was connected. She said directly, "Sykes, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't teach you
today. You don't need to wait for me."
"Miss Smith's private life is quite busy..." At the other end, the voice was very low and deep, with the
magnetism of a mature man...
However, she was stunned, and her heart beat faster in an instant. She couldn't help pursuing her
slightly dry lips and said in one go, "Mr. Wright, please tell Sykes for me. That's it. I'll hang up now!"
Hanging up the phone, she took a deep breath to calm down her beating heart.
