Love at First Sight? Mr. Harrison Has Been Scheming All Along-Chapter 159: Sean Harrison Really Wanted to Kill Her, Didn’t He?
Nadia Willow was standing right beside the car. When it suddenly lurched forward, she didn’t have time to react at all!
The car’s front bumper practically grazed her body as it passed!
Then, it stopped fifty meters away.
Nadia Willow was terrified by the sudden incident.
It wasn’t just her; even Ethan Dixon broke out in a cold sweat.
If Nadia Willow had been standing just a few centimeters off, she would have been sent flying if she was lucky. If she was unlucky, she might have been pulled right under the wheels!
Sean Harrison wasn’t trying to scare her.
He was...
When Nadia Willow processed what had just happened, her legs went weak, and she collapsed right where she stood.
Ethan Dixon glanced at the car dozens of meters away, realized something, and hurried over to Nadia Willow. "Miss Willow, don’t sit in the middle of the road," he said, helping her to her feet.
Nadia Willow seemed to realize something as well...
She let Ethan Dixon help her up and started walking toward the side of the road.
Her eyes kept darting toward the car.
Just now, Sean Harrison...
’He really wanted to kill me, didn’t he.’
Ethan Dixon helped Nadia Willow to the side of the road and said politely, "Miss Willow, if you have any further issues, please feel free to contact me at any time."
"Okay."
Nadia Willow stood leaning against the wall, not daring to move an inch.
Ethan Dixon jogged back to the car. After a great deal of persuasion, he finally coaxed Sean Harrison out of the driver’s seat and took his place.
A few minutes later, the car finally drove away.
The entire time, Nadia Willow remained leaning against the wall, staring fixedly in the direction the car had gone.
Only after the car disappeared from sight did she turn to look at the hospital behind her.
This wasn’t a general hospital.
It only treated a few specific types of illnesses...
Sean Harrison was in the car with his eyes closed, resting, when the phone in his pocket rang.
He assumed it was Nadia Willow again...
Sean Harrison didn’t answer right away.
After a minute of ringing, the phone went silent.
Only then did the man pick up his phone to take a closer look...
The missed call was from [Rory Linden].
He called back.
Rory Linden told him she was having dinner with Sherry Walsh that evening. Sherry would be picking her up directly, so he didn’t need to come get her.
"Okay, I’ll pick you up after dinner then."
Sean Harrison’s mood would always lift unconsciously whenever he heard her voice.
What Rory Linden didn’t know was that in all the years since they had met, whenever he was in a bad mood, her young, innocent voice would echo in his mind.
Telling him that everyone has the right to be vulnerable.
Telling him that they were good friends, and it was okay to be himself in front of a good friend.
Ethan Dixon glanced at the man’s expression in the rearview mirror before saying, "President Harrison, I’ll arrange for the best psychologist in Veridia for you as soon as possible."
Sean Harrison closed his eyes. "Okay."
The scene just now had truly terrified Ethan Dixon.
He had been with Sean Harrison for many years. While the man occasionally had moments where his emotions got out of control, they were always within a normal range.
Anyone could be like that.
But Sean Harrison’s behavior just now was clearly abnormal...
It was a completely reckless impulse, so different from how he usually acted.
’It seems...’
’President Harrison might really be sick.’

Meanwhile, after hanging up, Rory Linden sent Sherry Walsh a message to let her know.
Sherry Walsh sent a voice message, laughing at her. "I can’t take it anymore! You even have to report to your boyfriend just to have a meal. Seriously, I haven’t even eaten yet, and I’m already full from all this public display of affection."
Rory Linden didn’t argue.
She felt it was just something couples should do.
It was a good thing.
It wasn’t like when she was with Miles Harrison, who kept some of his activities secret from her.
She knew...
...that at those events, he always had other women with him.
Rory Linden sent a sticker in reply.
Sherry Walsh’s voice message came through again. "Fine, fine. I’ll tolerate it, seeing as you two introduced me to my idol. I’ll pick you up tonight."
Rory Linden texted back: "Okay, I’ll be waiting."
It was Saturday, and thankfully, there were no emergency surgeries, so Rory Linden was able to get off work on time.
She changed her clothes and waited for a while at the hospital entrance before Sherry Walsh’s car pulled up.
After Rory Linden got in the car, Sherry Walsh said, "I just came from Lawyer Sterling’s firm. He needed my help with something, so I’m a little late."
"No problem." Rory Linden heard an opening and asked teasingly, "I didn’t really know before, but this Lawyer Sterling is so young and successful... is he single or... married?"
Rory Linden had dinner with Noah Sterling once before, thanks to an introduction from Sean Harrison.
At the dinner, they had mostly talked about case-related matters.
But she could tell that this Lawyer Sterling was indeed young and accomplished.
"He’s... probably single?"
Sherry Walsh’s tone was filled with obvious uncertainty.
She sighed deeply and explained, "We’ve been working together for a while now, and I’ve never seen any woman he’s close with. I’ve never heard him mention a wife or kids, there are no family photos in his office, and no women’s belongings. It’s reasonable to guess he’s single, right?"
"Hearing all that, it sounds pretty reasonable," Rory Linden said thoughtfully. "How about this, I’ll have Sean Harrison ask for you. What if he has one of those fiancées studying abroad or something..."
"No way, right?"
As Sherry Walsh pictured it, her expression fell.
"I’m just kidding. But I’ll ask Sean Harrison for you."
"Sean Harrison, Sean Harrison... you two are dating, so why don’t you have any cute nicknames for each other? I can’t even get my dose of PDA." Sherry Walsh glanced at the traffic light ahead and added casually, "Why don’t you two just get married already? Then you can call each other ’hubby’ and ’wifey’."
Rory Linden went along with it. "We are actually planning to get married. Probably around... January."
The words had barely left her mouth when the car visibly "jumped."
Sherry Walsh had accidentally stepped on the gas. She slowed the car down before turning to Rory Linden with an incredulous look. "You, you... how did you two suddenly decide to get married?"
"It was a sudden decision," Rory Linden said, looking at the road ahead. "I don’t have any family, so I was originally hoping to get Auntie Rhodes’s blessing before we got married."
"And then?"
"And then... I decided she doesn’t deserve it!"
Rory Linden and Sherry Walsh were best friends; she could say whatever was on her mind in front of her.
A surprised look crossed Sherry Walsh’s face before she burst out laughing. "If you’re saying that, then she definitely doesn’t deserve it."
After she finished, she immediately asked, "Quick, tell me what she did to earn that review from you."
