Chapter 13 The Harper Family's Conflict

"No." Walter shook his head, a confident gleam in his eyes. "You misunderstood." "Misunderstood? Then why didn't you speak?" Leila's worry lessened, but she wondered if the earlier Walter was trying to back out. If that were the case，did she misunderstand him? Did she wait for the wrong person? Walter approached Leila, "Leila, I wanted to say, three months is too long. I want them to accept me in three days, or even three seconds. But I understand." "It's simply impossible." Walter's words carried a hint of helplessness. After all, he had been away for such a long time. How could the children easily accept his reappearance? It was impossible. It was not just impossible but accompanied by a profound sense of resistance! But how could he give up? "Leila, rest assured. Since I've returned this time, I will make the children accept me, and I will ensure they have a bright future." Soft words with determination. "You..." Leila looked at Walter with eyes that kept flickering. Between her eye sockets, There was a deep sense of being touched. Hoping that he could really do it. Thud! Suddenly! A muted thud emanated from inside the hotel. When Leila regained her composure, she witnessed a figure soaring out of the hotel entrance, crashing to the ground like a lifeless dog. Ernie! "It's him!" Leila subconsciously covered her red lips, her beautiful eyes slightly widened. "What happened inside?" Ernie had quite a bit of influence. After beating Ernie, did he still want to establish himself in Greafank? Truly frightening. At this moment, Leila thought of something. "Walter, where is the person who came with you just now? Did he beat Ernie inside?" "It's okay." Walter patted Leila's shoulder. "You can rest assured. Actually, his identity is not simple." "Really?" "Of course, it's true. How could I deceive you? Just relax. His status is much more powerful than Ernie's. Don't worry, not just one Ernie, even two or three wouldn't matter to him." "But Ernie's power in Greafank..." "It's okay. Just rest assured." Walter waved his hand. "Don't worry about it. I believe in Nightkill. Now, can you take me to see the children?" While saying this, Walter seemed like a child who had made a mistake. More like he was asking an adult for permission. Walter managed to elicit laughter from Leila. With a grin, she said, "Certainly, but you need to be mentally prepared. They're not so easily fooled." "Okay." Walter felt a lot of relief in his heart. It seemed like fate was finally not treating him poorly? All these things— Finally, there was a chance for compensation! Perhaps! This was the best outcome! Leila pouted, "Then go drive. I'll guide you." "Okay." Walter nodded, quickly driving away. Along the way, Leila looked at the scenery outside the window, her expression constantly changing. At this moment, it seemed like she was satisfied in her heart. Six years of humiliation? At this moment, it seemed like it had finally dissipated. Yes! Finally, she had everything. Hoping for a good start. However, there was still worry in her heart. Harper family! Yes! Tonight, she publicly embarrassed the Harper family. Could they let it go so easily? Could they let go of Walter? She wasn't wrong in her thinking. The atmosphere in the Harper family villa at this moment was terrifyingly heavy. The head of the Harper family, Luis, wore a dark expression, silently staring at the people in front of him. The murky eyes occasionally emitted bursts of brilliance, as if he wished to incinerate everyone in front of him. Completely ablaze? Yes! That was it! Faced with Luis's gaze, no one dared to speak. The anger in Luis's heart grew, and he slapped the table forcefully, "What are you all doing?" "Do you still find tonight's embarrassment insufficient?" "Or are you all mute?" Luis's words were like thunder, resounding through everyone's ears. Falling on the ears of the people present! Tate glanced at Otis, "Dad, don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your health. The situation tonight has reached such a point, isn't it all because of third brother?" "He swore to take care of his daughter before." "But look at what he's done?" Tate's words immediately attracted the attention of those present, redirecting the conflict toward Otis, "Dad, I think third brother needs to explain tonight's events to us." "It's because third brother didn't discipline his daughter properly." "Who says he's not to blame?" "Dad, I suggest we just kick third brother's family out completely, to avoid further embarrassment for everyone." "Especially that Leila, relying on her looks, she doesn't know her place. Tonight, she got Ernie, and our Harper family is in even more trouble." "Dad, I think, if it's really not working, let's listen to everyone and drive them out, the three of them." ... Bang! Luis slammed the table, "Am I dead? Is it your turn to teach me how to do things?" The scene was silent again. Dead silent. Everyone looked pitifully at Luis, afraid to make a sound. Luis locked eyes with Nicole, "What about those two illegitimate children?"
