Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 415

The bodyguards could have easily conveyed the message or Sylvia could have just given her a call, so why was Sylvia asking to meet?

Sophia licked her dry lips. “I’m supposed to go back with my brother, he’ll suspect something if he sees me leaving with you.”

“Ms. Yates just wants to see you for a moment and you’ll be back in no time, I’m sure Mr. White won’t notice,” the bodyguard replied.

“Let me go tell my brother then, or he might get worried if he can’t find me later.” The more the bodyguards persisted, the more Sophia felt that something was fishy.

However, the bodyguards were not giving way. “Mr. White is talking to someone now, it will be rude of you to interrupt them now.”

Seeing her hesitation, another bodyguard said, “If you’re worried that we might try something, there’s no need for you to be afraid. We wouldn’t have waited till now if we had any intentions with you. Besides, even if we wanted to, we would at least wait for you to finish your designated task before getting rid of you.”

Sophia did have her suspicions that Sylvia might have her murdered right after she completed her task.

What the bodyguard just said merely confirmed her suspicions that Sylvia was intending to kill her to keep her mouth shut… If that was the case, should she still obey Sylvia’s orders?

It would not be a good thing for her if the old woman burned the bridge after crossing it.

However, if she did not follow Sylvia’s instructions, proof of Harris Corporation being involved in human experiments would be leaked to the press. Most importantly, Charles was quite likely to be sent to prison again!

The leader of the bodyguards gave the bodyguard who responded to Sophia a glare and said, “Ms. White, you don’t actually think that we would kill you to shut you up, do you?”

“It’s hard to say. After all, you’re already toying the Harris family. I’m just a lowly, insignificant girl from the White family, it wouldn’t be too hard for you to get rid of me,” Sophia said.

There was still a chance for her to talk her way out here, but the moment she agreed to go out with them to see Sylvia, she would lose her grounds to negotiate.

The leader of the bodyguards continued, “If we kill you, there is no doubt that Mr. Harris would get to the bottom of it. Then, we would be exposed and our plan would fail. There’s absolutely no need for us to take such a huge risk.”

“To be honest, we don’t plan on offending Mr. Harris. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have wasted so much effort to talk about conditions with you. We could have easily leaked the news about human experiments and destroyed the Harris family just like that.”

Though he did make a valid point, there was still something Sophia could not figure out. “If you don’t plan on offending Charles, what is all this for? Are you doing all this just to break us up?”

“Ms. White, you should stop trying to beat around the bush trying to get information from us. If you know too much, it wouldn’t be a problem whether we want to kill you to silence you, but you would be the one forcing us to do so,” the bodyguard said in a solemn and warning tone.

Seeing that she could not get anything out from the bodyguards, Sophia stopped asking and followed them to see Sylvia.

At this point, she had no other choice but to go along.

There were a lot of cars parked outside the Harris family manor, and Sylvia was inside one of the cars outside.

Many of the attendee’s bodyguards were waiting outside as well, and under their casual glances, Sophia got into Sylvia’s car. A few of the bodyguards trailing behind her closed the door after her and waited outside.

A driver was sitting in front, whereas Sylvia and Jax were in the back passenger seat.

Sophia forced herself to remain calm and carefully took a seat, but she kept herself at the edge of the seat, ready to get up and flee at any time.

“I don’t have a weapon in my hand now, why are you so afraid of me?” Sylvia asked in a teasing tone, just like a cat toying with a mouse.

Sophia lowered her gaze but she had no intentions of averting this question. “You’re already daring enough to toy someone like Master Harris, I think you’re capable of playing me with just one finger. If I’m not careful enough, I might fall into your trap and get deceived by you, and not even know it.”
