How to Tame a Villain Character-Chapter 28: Surname

On the other hand, Harry returned to his residence to discuss this sad news with his family. The Harperwood family is known to have quite a close relationship with the Solstice family because the Solstice family helped deal with the crisis experienced by the city of Edenburgh several years ago. The Solstice family also plays a role in the high court, especially as Kael’s father is the highest chief judge in the country. Therefore, no one dared to disturb the family, including Alice, who couldn’t carelessly reveal the rotten secrets Kael had been carrying out for years.

"It is very unfortunate that Mr Bernard lost his only son overnight. "Moreover, if I heard from the results of the autopsy and investigation at the crime scene, there were no signs of murder," said Roger quietly, looking at Harris’s tired face. "Are you sad because you lost your friend?"

Harris nodded. "Losing a friend is like losing a precious thing. Moreover, all this time he has done a lot of good to me."

Hearing one word inversely in his mind, Harry burst out laughing as he patted the sofa. This actually made all members of the Harperwood family immediately glare at him for behaving inappropriately in the midst of the sad news that shocked the country.

"Harry! Why are you laughing amidst this world news?! Watch your attitude!" snapped the head of the family.

Harry smiled sarcastically. "He did good? That bastard? Just fuck off!"

"This damn child! Luckily you married Claudia so I won’t lock you up in the dungeon right now! Anyway, later you have to attend the funeral ceremony!"

"Don’t expect me to attend the funeral!"

Harris’ patience limit had reached its maximum. He grabbed his brother’s hand, then dragged him to another room before his parents couldn’t control their anger.

Harry was still silent when he was dragged into Harris’ study. Walk around the very neat room while fumbling with the documents stored on the storage shelves. In fact, he was very grateful to his younger brother for taking the initiative to drag him to this place because the purpose of his visit was actually to visit his younger sibling.

"Harry, are you crazy about fighting with dad?!"

"Aren’t you the one who’s crazy for hanging out with that bastard all this time?"

Harris walked quickly towards his older brother with a glaring gaze. "What actually got into your mind to make you have no conscience like this? If Claudia finds out about your true attitude like this, I’m sure she’ll be very scared."

Listening to Harris’ words actually brought victory to Harry. "Claudia was actually very happy to hear this sad news. Besides, she’s afraid of you now because I leaked the secret that you were close friends with Kael."

Harris pulled Harry’s collar tightly. "Damn you!"

"Shouldn’t you have an honest talk with her from the start? Because I revealed this little secret, he finally started to hate you." Harry laughed lightly as he let go of Harris’s hand. "In fact, you are a coward who always wears a mask to win a woman’s heart."

"I won’t spare you, Harry! You’ll see, I’ll take Claudia back to me!"

"Don’t dream, Harris! Claudia will be my wife forever!" Harry stared for a moment at the luxury watch on his left wrist as he walked towards the door.

"Aren’t you afraid that Claudia will stay away from you when she hears your main secret? You’re the illegitimate child of this family."

Harry’s footsteps stopped for a moment hearing a word he didn’t deserve to hear. His hands were clenched tightly into fists, wanting to punch Harris in the face without hesitation. He even wanted to end Harris’ life right now because he acted presumptuously in front of him.

"You don’t need to be arrogant because you have the Harperwood surname. Actually, you are a lost child who lost your mother and father--"

"Shut up!"

"That’s why, if you dare to mess with me again, I will take everything you have, including your wife!" freēwēbnovel.com

Harry turned around for a moment while putting on a relaxed expression, even though he was actually holding back his anger. "Can you fight me? When you talk, you should think first. Moreover, there are still many secrets you are hiding from Claudia."

If the conversation continued, Harry might lose his mind. He returned to the Harperwood family room to continue his conversation with his father regarding Kael’s death.

"Father, I’m sorry I really can’t attend the funeral today."

Roger got up from the sofa with an angry look. "You insolent child! You won’t be embarrassed to be gossiped about by the palace ministers!"

Harry smiled confidently. "Why should I be embarrassed when it’s not my fault? "I can’t attend because I promised my wife I wanted to go on a date today."

"But, you can do it tomorrow," argued Laeticia, Roger’s wife.

"Making my wife happy is much more important than attending a funeral that has nothing to do with me."

*****

Along the way back to his residence, Harry sat pensive, staring at the car window. Talking about what Harris said earlier is true. Harry is not the biological son of the Harperwood family. When Harry was still small, Harry’s biological mother married Roger because of a condition that forced Harry to accept Roger as his father. Additionally, since living in this residence, Harry was treated as if he were invisible unless it had something to do with work. Because it could be said that Harry is far superior to Harris.

Since meeting and marrying Claudia, Harry felt that Claudia was the only person who sincerely supported him. When he said he wanted to date, for some reason it came out of his lips very easily. Even though all this time he had never dated a woman and was confused about what men usually do when they date women.

"Thomas, I want to ask you something important."

"What do you want to ask? What should I investigate?"

Harry shook his head slowly. "It’s not about the investigation. But, in your opinion, what if one woman really defended me sincerely, would she really love me?"
