Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 414

Clara did not get Sophia’s hint at all. She gave Sophia a confused look before continuing, “My dad says that there might be someone influential involved in this but he isn’t exactly sure who could it possibly be.”

Sophia felt as if she was on an emotional roller coaster as she listened to Clara speak. She was unsure whether she was more relieved or disappointed when Clara said that she did not know who the person was.

“What’s the point of telling us that then?” Zachary rubbed her head with a helpless look on his face.

Clara immediately became aggravated, and with her hands on her hips, she began arguing with him as she glared at him in annoyance.

As the two of them bickered, Justin came over with Sylvia beside her. “If it weren’t for the funeral wreaths, some people might think this was a wedding ceremony by listening to both you two young couples,” he said sarcastically.

Sylvia linked arms with Jax as they stood smiling beside him. They remained quiet as if they were just watching a show.

“Who asked you eavesdrop on us then? Am I right, Sophia?” Clara could not help but roll her eyes. She absolutely loathed two-faced people who dropped indirect hints when they spoke. Just start a fight if you think you can!”

Sophia laughed lightly. “I believe Mr. Justin is a bit unhappy now that Charles has the reins over the Harris family. How could he pick a quarrel if he doesn’t keep an eye on us?”

Now that he had lost Master Harris as his backer, the Harris family members were not on his side anymore. Hence, it was only natural for him to be upset.

Although, how did Justin get mixed up with Sylvia?

As if a revelation had suddenly dawned on her, Clara turned to Justin. “Instead of just talking sh*t, you should just be upfront if you’re really that good! If you can’t bring it, stop talking sh*t and trash-talking or you’ll just make yourself look even worse.”

Justin was at a disadvantage now, and yet he still dared to provoke Charles. He was clearly asking for trouble!

Justin’s expression changed and he seemed to have something to say, but after glancing at Charles, he excused himself.

“What are you doing here?” Charles gave Sylvia a cold look, not bothering to even disguise the disgust in his eyes.

Instead of answering him, Sylvia sized Sophia up as a huge grin spread across her face.

Her stare felt like a cold snake that slithered across every inch of Sophia’s body. It was disgusting and it sent a shiver down Sophia’s spine.

Sophia frowned and moved her body slightly, averting her gaze.

“No matter what, I was once your grandfather’s wife. It’s not strange for an ex-wife to show up at her ex-husband’s funeral to send him off, is it?” Sylvia took two steps forward toward Charles and touched his head.

Charles immediately backed away to avoid her touch. “When were you ever so kind?”

He refused to believe that she was genuinely here to see Grandfather off.

Although her hand was left hanging midair, Sylvia did not feel embarrassed in the slightest. Her eyes noticeably dimmed slightly for a quick second before it vanished and was replaced by a smile. “It’s one of the rare occasions where I’m speaking the truth, yet you doubt me. Well, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Charles gave her a cheeky smirk. “Should you leave yourself or would you prefer I have someone send you off?”

The tension in the air thickened between the two.

Sylvia knew he was not just talking big. “There’s no need for you to see me out, I’ll leave right after I speak to your grandfather.”

She paused for a moment as her gaze strayed on Sophia’s abdomen. With an amiable smile, she said, “Ms. White, you’re still in your first trimester, aren’t you?”

“What does it have to do with you?” Charles stood in front of Sophia protectively, his piercing gaze directed straight at Sylvia.

Sylvia looked away casually. “Oh, don’t be so nervous, Charles, I just wanted to give her a word of kind advice! Your first trimester is the most unstable period of your pregnancy, you should be careful or you might accidentally lose your child.”

Although she called it kind advice, her words sounded unusually harsh.
