Chapter 1461: Chapter 1461: Sabotaged Overnight
Jesse Rowan poured himself a glass of red wine and headed towards the villa’s bedroom.
Upon reaching the doorway, he suddenly overheard the woman inside making a phone call.
“Dad, has the issue with the North Garden construction site been resolved?” Joan Harry’s voice was very soft.
Joan Harry knew that the North Garden construction site issue had blown up; a sudden collapse at the site had resulted in several construction workers either dead or injured.
The lives of more than ten people—such an incident simply couldn’t be suppressed.
The media had widely publicized it, adding fuel to the fire, and old scandals about the Harry Family’s shoddy construction, tax evasion, and illicit dealings were also brought to light.
The man behind the curtain was rumored to be Sylvan Cheney.
The Harry Family was on the brink of being shaken to its core.
They had practically been sabotaged overnight.
“Joan, you don’t need to worry about this matter.”
“Dad, if there’s anything I can help with, just tell me.”
“Joan, concentrate on your work. Dad will take care of these issues.”
Just as Joan Harry was about to speak, Jesse Rowan came over and took the phone from her—
“CEO Harry, are you in need of money? If you are, I can lend it to you.”
There was a pause on the other end of the line.
Joan Harry’s eyes widened, and she dared not make a sound.
“Is this Mr. Rowan?” Yacob Harry spoke calmly, “I heard… you’re pursuing Joan.”
“Yes, so if father-in-law is in any trouble, Jesse Rowan will definitely go through fire and water, unafraid of dying a thousand deaths.”
The other end did not respond immediately, seemingly contemplating something.
The air suddenly became silent.
“Father-in-law, how about this—I’ll transfer five million to your account first, so you can settle the compensation issues. The rest, I can also lend a hand,” Jesse Rowan said with a smile, his tone exceedingly polite.
“This… how could I accept that…” Yacob Harry’s voice lowered.
“Oh come on, no need for formality between family. It’s no trouble. I believe father-in-law has the ability to overcome this difficulty, and your company will surely flourish even more in the future. At that time, I’ll also benefit from your success.”
“Jesse, thank you. The favor of help in desperate times is truly unforgettable.”
“Father-in-law, you’re too kind. I’ll have my assistant transfer the money right away, please wait.”
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Jesse Rowan hung up the call.
Throughout, his fair face remained smiling.
He took a sip of the red wine and sent a text to his assistant to transfer five million to the Harry Family’s account.
Joan Harry stood aside motionless, her eyes shining with profound light.
Jesse Rowan swirled his wine glass gently.
“Joan, am I treating your father well?” Jesse Rowan asked with a smiling gaze towards her.
Joan Harry appeared as if she had just finished bathing, dressed in a dark red silk nightgown, with her long curly hair draping over her shoulders.
Her skin was pale with a rosy hue, and her appearance was beautiful and gentle.
“He’s not your father-in-law, don’t call him that,” Joan Harry said indifferently.
“I’m on the path to making that effort,” Jesse Rowan said. “If I don’t call him father-in-law, whom do you want me to call? Mr. Cheney? Don’t forget, Mr. Cheney and the Harry Family are at daggers drawn. I heard Mr. Cheney has been fanning the flames behind the recent troubles of the Harry Family, orchestrating a series of despicable tricks in the shadows.”
“Joan, you should avoid going home for now, don’t add to your father’s troubles. Just stay in Koi Garden, where you’ll be well-fed and taken care of. See, I haven’t touched you these past few days, right?” Jesse Rowan’s voice was gentle as a soft spring breeze.
“I will have my dad repay the money you lent him as soon as possible.”
“What’s the rush, we are all family here, no need for such formality,” Jesse Rowan said, setting down his glass of red wine and moving closer to her.
