Love at First Sight? Mr. Harrison Has Been Scheming All Along-Chapter 160: They Really... Are About to Get Married.

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: They Really... Are About to Get Married.

After a moment’s thought, Rory Linden decided to give Sherry Walsh a brief summary of the situation involving Charlotte Rhodes, Evan Hollis, and Sean Harrison.

She didn’t know much.

Most of it was what she had learned from Evan Hollis.

As for Sean Harrison...

He had never told her anything about his past.

Things like what happened with Evan Hollis, or what went on in that video.

About his past...

Rory Linden wanted to know more, but Sean Harrison didn’t want to talk about it.

That was fine. She could wait. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

So, Rory Linden briefly told Sherry Walsh the little she knew and what she had seen for herself.

"My God, how can a mother be so outrageous?!"

Sherry Walsh’s hands tightened on the steering wheel. "What more could she possibly want, being Sean Harrison’s mother?! If I had a son as incredible as him, I’d wake up laughing from my dreams!"

"That’s..."

"Hehe, just kidding. I’m as single as they come. I should probably focus on finding a partner before thinking about anything else." Sherry Walsh looked at Rory Linden. "You go ahead and get married first. You can share your wisdom with me then."

"Okay."

Rory Linden agreed.

The two of them arrived at the restaurant and placed their order.

While they were waiting for their food, Sherry Walsh couldn’t resist saying, "To be honest, I’m really surprised. I never imagined Sean Harrison grew up like that. I mean, I got everything I wanted as a kid, so I just assumed he would have had even more."

"I was surprised, too. Turns out, he never celebrated his birthdays, just like me. He probably never got any presents, either."

Rory Linden clutched the water glass in front of her, her gaze lowered to the ripples on the surface. "That’s why I want to marry him on his birthday, be a good wife, and treat him well."

"See? I told you so. Any man lucky enough to marry a wonderful woman like you is set for life!" Sherry Walsh affirmed. "But Sean Harrison is worthy of it—at least, much more so than that mad dog, Miles Harrison."

Rory Linden nodded. "Yeah."

Sherry Walsh asked again, "By the way, about you two getting married, what did Miles Harrison have to say? He hasn’t been harassing you, has he?"

Rory Linden shook her head gently. "No, he went abroad. He said he’s starting a business with a friend and won’t be back for the next few years."

"For real?!" Sherry Walsh couldn’t resist mocking the idea. "Someone like him starting a business? He’s more likely to get scammed and wake up in a tub of ice missing a kidney."

"...I... don’t think it would come to that."

But Rory Linden didn’t sound too sure herself.

Miles Harrison had been spoiled growing up and had never experienced any real hardship.

Anyone who knew him even a little would hear this and assume he’d been scammed.

However...

Given Miles Harrison’s personality, once he made a decision, no one could talk him out of it.

As for whether he’d actually been scammed, the most direct indicator would be if Evelyn Irving contacted them for help...

The two of them finished dinner.

As usual, Sean Harrison came to pick her up.

His car was parked at the restaurant’s entrance.

He only got out of the car when he saw the two of them approaching.

Sherry Walsh stayed where she was, waved at Sean, and asked with a grin, "President Harrison, congrats on getting married! If you need a prenup or anything of the sort drafted, our firm can provide legal services."

"That won’t be necessary."

Sean Harrison’s reply was firm.

Sherry Walsh had been wanting to ask this question. She chose not to ask Rory Linden, but to ask Sean Harrison directly.

She wanted to see his reaction.

She hadn’t expected Sean Harrison to answer so decisively!

"Well... you’re so rich, a lot of women must be after you. What if one day your feelings change and you want to marry someone else? Without a prenup, you’d have to give half of your assets to our Rory, you know?"

Sherry Walsh said this on purpose.

Rory Linden looked at Sean Harrison.

She really didn’t care about a prenuptial agreement.

Her stance on the matter hadn’t changed.

It wasn’t as if she couldn’t support herself. If one day Sean Harrison fell for someone else and they really did get to the point of divorce, she would only want to take what was hers, as long as the process wasn’t too ugly.

Sean Harrison suddenly changed his tack. "In that case, let’s sign an agreement about what happens if we divorce."

Sherry Walsh’s expression had just started to change.

He continued, "For any reason, if we divorce, I will transfer all of my shares in Panda Tech to her."

He wasn’t proposing to leave with nothing.

But...

In a way, this was even more drastic than that!

As a lawyer, Sherry Walsh understood a thing or two about these matters.

Sean Harrison had founded Panda Tech from scratch, and its market value started in the hundreds of billions.

Regardless of how many shares he personally held, the annual dividends from them were enough to ensure he lived very well.

If he transferred these shares to Rory Linden...

Then he would lose a very large portion of his income.

"Are you serious? This isn’t a joke. Let’s get it in writing. Come to our firm, and I’ll draft it for you."

Sherry Walsh’s tone was completely serious.

She wanted to test Sean Harrison, to see if he was just putting on a show.

Working as a divorce lawyer, she had seen too much of this kind of crap.

Many men banked on the woman being too kind and good-natured to accept the money, so they’d make a big show of offering it.

Only to turn around and say, "She’s the one who refused it."

"Alright. You can coordinate the details with Noah Sterling. If he needs any data, he can contact my assistant. We will cooperate fully."

Sean Harrison paused. "We’re planning to get engaged in January, so the agreement needs to be drafted quickly."

"No problem, President Harrison!"

Sherry Walsh naturally agreed.

Although her firm usually charged a flat fee for drafting prenups and didn’t make much money from them, she just wanted to see if Sean Harrison was sincere.

Rory Linden never imagined that they would settle such an important matter in just a few sentences!

"There’s no need..."

"Oh, come on, just sign it. It’s not like you two are going to get divorced anyway."

Just as Rory Linden was about to object, Sherry Walsh cut her off.

Hearing those words, her mind suddenly flashed to Miles Harrison.

They hadn’t broken up, but he had cheated on her constantly.

Rory Linden believed Sean Harrison wasn’t that kind of person.

But...

"Let’s not sign this. If we’re compatible, we’ll stay together. If we’re not, we’ll get a divorce. We shouldn’t need a contract to bind us."

Rory Linden looked at Sherry Walsh. "A marriage should be bound by love and responsibility, not a contract."

"Alright, alright, fine. I’ll stay out of it." Sherry Walsh took Rory Linden’s arm. "Just make sure you ask me to be your bridesmaid!"

Rory Linden nodded. "Okay."

Sherry Walsh immediately looked at Sean Harrison. "President Harrison, um... who are you asking to be your best man? Could you ask Noah Sterling?"

With that one sentence, her intentions were written all over her face.

"If that’s what you want, I can ask his opinion."

Sean Harrison said.

As long as the bride was Rory Linden, he didn’t care who the best man was.

"Wow! Thank you, President Harrison! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together!"

Sherry Walsh immediately started laying on the flattery thick.

Not daring to disturb their time alone any longer, she took her leave.

Once Rory Linden was in the car, she asked Sean Harrison, "Is Lawyer Sterling single?"

"I don’t know. A few years ago, I heard Henry Lancaster mention he has a fiancée from an arranged match by his family. I think she’s not in Celestria, but I’m not sure if they’re still in contact now."

Sean Harrison was driving, keeping his eyes on the road as he spoke.

Rory Linden was a little surprised. "But... after what you said, Sherry will definitely think he’s single!"

"If she wants to know, she can ask him herself. Outsiders shouldn’t get too involved in a couple’s relationship."

Sean Harrison stated his position clearly.

He glanced at her in the passenger seat out of the corner of his eye and asked, "By the way, regarding our new house, what style do you like?"

"Hm?"

"Do you prefer a villa, or a large flat? Both have their pros and cons. The flat would have a better view, while a villa would have a yard and a basement. There are also traditional Chinese-style villas, but their locations might be a bit more remote."

Rory Linden listened as he earnestly asked for her opinion.

A sense of reality finally began to sink in.

They were really...

About to get married.
