Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Didn’t Harleen just say that on the phone? Do I need to repeat it? Harleen can sign the contract, but we need to see the share and dividend documents first…” Sharon responded coldly.

“Sharon!” Fletcher interrupted her and continued, “Preparing for the share contract and dividends takes time. Since father promised, he will give it to us.”

“You…” Sharon ultimately held back her words.

“Harleen, why don’t you go with Grandpa first? Don’t keep Ozin Tower waiting!” Fletcher turned around and looked at Harleen.

“Alright.” After a moment of thought, Harleen agreed.

“Harleen, I’ll go with you.” Billy stood up and said.

“Dad, don’t go. I want you to stay with me. I don’t want Dad to leave.” Tasha grabbed his hand and shook it hard when she heard Billy was leaving.

“Billy, stay at home with Tasha. I’ll keep Harleen company.” Felicia spoke up.

“That works too. Call me if anything happens.”

Felicia nodded before saying to her sister, “Harleen, let’s go!”

Zeph glared at Harleen’s parents and Billy before turning around and leaving.

After everyone left, Sharon started complaining.

“Fletcher, you don’t know when to stop, do you? I bet after Harleen signs their contract they’ll turn their backs on us!”

“Sharon, I know you have a lot of resentment towards them.” Fletcher sighed before continuing, “But my father personally came to invite us, we can’t be too rude.”

“Hmph, I don’t want to talk to you!” Sharon glared at him unkindly. “I’m going to cook!”

“Make more, Billy and Casey are also eating lunch at home.”

“I know!” Sharon muttered under her breath. “You talk too much!”

Sharon was in a good mood today, especially when she saw Zeph and Robert’s miserable appearance. She felt relieved; it had been a long time since she felt this comfortable. She knew that it was all thanks to Billy’s efforts and thus her opinion of him had changed invisibly.

“Thank you, Mrs Knight!” Billy and Casey smiled at each other after speaking.

“Dad, Uncle Casey, you’re lucky today! Grandma’s cooking is delicious! You have to eat more later.” Tasha said sweetly on the side.

“Haha, okay!”

“Billy, will Harleen be able to sign the contract for Ozin Tower after she goes over? There won’t be any unexpected problems?” Fletcher asked.

“You may rest assured that there won’t be any problems.”

“That’s good.”

An hour passed. Fletcher’s phone beeped with a message from Harleen.

“It’s done!” Fletcher exclaimed excitedly after reading the message.

“What has you so happy?” Sharon walked out of the kitchen.

“The contract is signed!” Fletcher responded with a big laugh.

“I thought it was something more important. That’s not even your company!” Sharon pouted and turned back to her work.

“Billy, thank you so much. I appreciate it.” Fletcher turned to Billy with sincere gratitude and ignored Sharon’s comment.

“Mr Knight, don’t mention it. It’s my pleasure.”

“That’s amazing! Daddy is the best! I knew he could do it.” Tasha put down her toy and cheered loudly.

“Thank you for your praise, Tasha.” Billy patted her little head affectionately.

After fifteen minutes, Sharon walked out of the kitchen.

“Fletcher, call Harleen and ask when they will be home. I need to start cooking!” said she.

“Okay.” Fletcher was in high spirits as he dialed Harleen’s number immediately.

“Harleen, where are you guys now? How long until you get home?”

“We’re in a taxi now. Maybe about twenty minutes or so?” Harleen replied on the other end of the line.

“Great! Can you pick up a bottle of wine on your way back? I’m going to have some drinks with Billy and Casey at lunchtime…” Fletcher grinned as he made this request.

Before he completed his sentence, there was a loud noise from the phone speaker.

“Harleen, what happened!?” Fletcher exclaimed loudly, surprised.

But there was no sound on the other end of the line.

“Harleen? Harleen?” Fletcher shouted again after a moment, realizing that the call had been disconnected. He quickly dialed again. But this time it just rang without anyone answering.

“What’s wrong?” asked Billy.

“Harleen’s taxi must have crashed!” Fletcher sounded anxious. “No one is answering her phone.”

“What!?” Sharon exclaimed loudly. “Try calling Felicia’s phone!”

Fletcher tried again but the result was the same.

“No one is answering!” Fletcher looked at Sharon and Billy for help.

“Hmm!?”

“They… they couldn’t have gotten into an accident or something, could they?” Sharon sounded extremely nervous.

“Mommy, I want my mommy… Mommy will be okay…” Tasha started crying uncontrollably.

“Please look after Tasha. I’m going to find Harleen.” Billy said before rushing out of the door with Casey in tow.

“Where do you even start looking for them?” Sharon shouted.

“Don’t worry, I’ll find them,” Billy replied before quickly leaving the room.

Casey hit the gas and sped out of the neighborhood.

“Head towards Knight Group!” Billy instructed as he dialed Derek’s number.

“Mr Gardner?” Derek answered after just one ring.

“I’m sending you a phone number, get their location ASAP!”

“Got it.” Derek responded after a brief pause.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Less than five minutes later, they received a message from Derek with an address.

“Go here!” Billy set the navigation and handed his phone to Casey.

Casey took the phone and put the pedal to the metal. The address that Derek provided was on a secluded road that rarely saw any traffic. Only taxi drivers would know about this kind of place.

About fifteen minutes later, Casey parked next to a deformed taxi.
