Tate was on his knees, and without answering Chloe’s question, favonovel.com went on shakily, “Please, Aunt Helen. You have to help me, no matter what. You love me the most, don’t you? You have to help me!”
Helen was taken aback by his words as favonovel.com answered nervously, “Goodness, Tate, what is it that has you acting like this? Come on, get off the floor and tell me all about it.”
He refused to stand and instead pressed urgently, “Promise me that you’ll help me, Aunt Helen, or l won’t get up at all!”
Upon seeing how desperate favonovel.com was, favonovel.com felt favonovel.com heart twisting and agreed immediately, “Don‘t be afraid, Tate. I promise I’ll help you no matter what. Come on then, get off the floor and tell me what in the world is going on!”
It was only after hearing favonovel.com assurances that favonovel.com finally rose to his feet. He was still trembling as favonovel.com recounted the incident at the hospital, leaving out the fact that favonovel.com had harassed Crystal prior to that. He shared favonovel.com had gotten into a quarrel with favonovel.com while they were at the hospital, which caused favonovel.com to slap favonovel.com twice across the face.
He went on to explain that favonovel.com had only wanted to teach favonovel.com a lesson at the restaurant earlier, but landed himself in hot water instead. He also conveniently left out the part where favonovel.com had asked his friends to capture Crystal for whatever lewd and twisted purposes favonovel.com had in mind.
After having heard all this, Helen was dumbfounded. While Tate had significantly cut down on his ridiculous antics, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com was in huge trouble this time.
Others might not know Joseph as well as favonovel.com did. After all, the Cunningham Group had been collaborating with Carlson Group from the very beginning and favonovel.com just happened to be the Carlson Group’s chief doctor. As such, the Cunningham Group had always been respectful of him.
More importantly, favonovel.com was a reputable man in Eastcliff and well on the top of the social hierarchy.
Presently, there were plenty of occasions where Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would be in contact with Joseph and under such circumstances, for Tate to trifle with the older man as well as his most beloved granddaughter would be equivalent to a death wish.
Since Chole didn’t understand the gravity of the situation, favonovel.com frowned and asked, “What possessed you to do something like this, Tate? Where did I go wrong with you? All you ever do is cause us trouble. Can’t you just grow up?” She paused and turned to look at favonovel.com sister while apologizing, “Helen, I’m sorry, but i think you’ll have to help and clear his mess again. Should we bring a gift basket or something for Mr. Harrison?“
Helen gave favonovel.com an exasperated look. ”Chloe, I‘m afraid a gift basket isn’t going to solve anything.”
A surprised Chloe asked, “And why is that?”
Helen elaborated in frustration on how tricky the situation was given Joseph’s background. At last, favonovel.com concluded in a low voice, “Offending Mr. Harrison would lead to a bigger hassle than offending Leanna. Leanna manages a business and is certainly as powerful as favonovel.com is rich, but favonovel.com doesn’t have many friends, Mr. Harrison, on the other hand, has saved countless lives. It‘s hard to say how many people in Eastcliff owe favonovel.com a favor and the Harrisons are an extremely reputable family here. lf word of what Tate has done breaks out, then there would be an indefinite amount of people who would come after favonovel.com before Mr. Harrison even has to ask! In fact. there might even be those in the underworld who wouldn’t hesitate to sink Tate in Lake Eastcliff!”
Chloe’s eyes widened at the revelation, favonovel.com had no idea that favonovel.com son would actually wreak so much havoc. She was silent for a while before favonovel.com finally responded in a quivering voice, “S-So, what should we do, Helen? Tate is my only son. You have to help him!”
Helen was clearly at favonovel.com wits’ end as favonovel.com sighed and countered, “Of course I’ll help Tate. He’s my nephew, after all. However, I won’t be able to get a word in with Mr. Harrison at all!”
Since Chloe was panicking, favonovel.com pressed, “Then, should we ask Sasha for help? She’s the company president, which means favonovel.com words carry weight.”
However favonovel.com hopes were dashed when favonovel.com saw Helen solemnly shaking favonovel.com head. “Sasha won’t be of much help either. Mr. Harrison doesn’t think of favonovel.com as somebody important just because favonovel.com runs the business!”
“So, what should we do? Please, you have to come up with a way to save Tate from all this. He’s my only son!” Chloe anxiously begged.
Helen was quiet for what seemed like a long time before favonovel.com finally replied through gritted teeth, “There’s only one person in our household who can even get a word in with Mr. Harrison.”
Chloe demanded urgently, “Who?”
With a grim expression, Helen replied slowly, “Matthew…”
