S31 58. Counterattack
Sophia sighed in disbelief. Her head movements quickened. “Please don’t fire me, Dad. I
myself built my company to this. It’s not fair if you hand it over to someone else.”
Victor shook his head. “What people count on is current performance, not the past.
Nobody cares about how much you struggled to build it. All they see is how you brought
your own company down.”
Sophia’s tears began to well up. Her face was filled with despair. ” Please give me a
chance, Dad. I can restore my good name and that of my company. I guarantee you,
within one month, I can fix everything.”
“The Moore family may be sweet-mouthed, but we always keep our word, Sophia. You…
just made us doubt your identity.”
“No, Dad. I’m still the same Sophia. Please, don’t send me to Europe. I want to make my
company bigger.”
Victor didn’t answer. He looked away then took two steps back
“Mom?” Sophia voiced her last wish. However, her mother show
same response.
While Sophia grimaced in disapproval, someone knocked on the do When he was allowed
to enter, he showed a bright smile.
“Sorry to interrupt, Sir, Madam. Mister Harper has just dropped the charges. Miss Moore
can be released.”
Victor raised his eyebrows slightly, muttering, “As expected.” Then, embracing his wife’s
waist, he walked through the door.
“Can I leave our daughter here for a moment? Don’t let her get away. Later, my men will
pick her up.”
Sophia gaped. She understood that she would be immediately sent to Europe.
“Dad, please listen to me. I don’t want to go anywhere. My place is here. My dreams are
also here.”
She tried to break through, but the officer restrained her. “Sorry, Miss Moore. Your father
won’t let you out!”
“Dad?”
Victor was completely unfazed. Even though Sophia’s tears shed, his expression remained
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfrozen. “Be kind, Sophia. Don’t embarrass your family.”
A second later, he glanced at the officer. “Perform your duties.”
“Yes, Sir.” With a light push, the uniformed man pushed Sophia
backwards.
“Dad? Mom? Please forgive me. Don’t throw me away. I want to stay
here!”
As if the voice didn’t exist, Victor turned back down the hall. Toget
with his wife, he returned to their car. Inside there, a man was waiti He sat in the seat
facing backward.
“Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Moore. I have finished gathering information,” he said,
clenching his fists.
Instead of being happy, Victor’s gaze dimmed. “Didn’t I assign you to watch over Sophia?
Why is everything so messy?”
The man gasped. Looking down, he gathered courage in his lungs.
“Sorry, Sir, I have actually reminded Miss Moore several times, but
she didn’t want to listen.”
Patricia waved her hand. “Never mind. The situation can’t be
changed. Now tell me, who took part in bringing down Sophia?”
The man quickly opened his bag. After a few moments, he put Finnic’s photo on the
folding table between Victor and Patricia’s
seats.
“First, your son-in-law. The cause of her reckless behavior was her doubts about Finnic.
Besides, I discovered that Finnic was
collaborating with Frank Harper. I will explain this later.”
Next, Frank and Kara’s photo was placed next to Finnic’s.
“Secondly, this couple. As we know, Kara Harper is Finnic’s ex- girlfriend. I suspect that
Miss Moore is jealous of her. Maybe that’s also one of the reasons she’s targeting Frank
Harper. Apart from that, I think you already understand Frank’s role in spreading bad news
about Miss Moore.”
While Victor studied Frank’s face, the informant put down a photo of
Melanie.
“In order to make her wish come true, Miss Moore used Melanie
Harris. Mrs. Harris agreed to help Miss Moore. She also suppor her plan to take Frank
Harper from Kara. But apparently, Miss Mo changed the agreement. Mrs. Harris felt
betrayed. Then, she turned side with her son, dragging Miss Moore down in front of the
media
Victor lifted Melanie’s picture and looked at it more closely. After squinting for a few
seconds, he dropped it with a look of indifference.
“Who else is there?”
The informant took out a picture of Ava. “This is the nurse Miss Moore trusted to take care
of Melanie. Ava Connor. She agreed to.
help because Miss Moore paid for all the care for her mother who has been in a coma for
the last few months.”
“Why did she dare to disobey?”

“Frank Harper found out what Miss Moore had done to his mother. Apparently, he put
pressure on Ava. When the video of Mrs. Harris’ testimony was released, I received news
that Ava’s mother had been transferred from the previous hospital. Most likely, Frank
Harper
guaranteed her mother’s safety if she wanted to side with them. And the transfer of the
patient was possible because of Finnic’s help.”
Victor grabbed his chin. “Is Sophia really my daughter? Why is she so stupid and careless?
What’s the point of me teaching her all this time?
Patricia quickly grabbed her husband’s arm. “It must be because our daughter is too
stressed, Darling. She’s too ambitious to have Frank in her grasp.”
“Whatever it is, still, she’s a disgrace”
Hearing the small debate, the informant cleared his throat. “Sorry, Sir. There’s still one
more.”
He put down a picture of Jeremy. “This is Frank’s brother. His name is Jeremy Harper. He
played a big role in helping Frank attack Miss Moore.”
Victor nodded. “You’ve analyzed them?”
The informant took out another stack of photos. “It’s easy to find their weaknesses, Sir.
They’re all the same type.”
He put Vivian’s photo on top of Jeremy. “This is his mother. They live. at Rowan Harper’s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmold residence.”
Then, Mrs. Connor’s photo was placed on top of Ava’s. “This is her mother. I haven’t
confirmed yet, but most likely, she is being treated at Garcia Hospital. Frank is good
friends with the owner.”
After getting a nod, the informant placed Mrs. Miller’s picture by Finnic’s side. “Your son-in-
law’s weakness is also his mother.”
Then, he arranged several sheets of shiny paper in sequence. Before he had time to
explain, Victor snorted with laughter. The twins had caught his attention.
“Well, well. Are these the children who are the pride of Harper, Savior, even the whole
country?”
The informant nodded. “Louis and Emily Harper. They go to Savior Kindergarten. After
school, they go working at the Savior Company. They have their own projects whose
valuation is no joke.”
“How interesting. I can imagine how much their parents love them.” Victor’s eyes flashed
slyly.
“That’s right, Sir. The Harper family loves these two toddlers very much. Rowan Harper
even shared the largest inheritance with them.”
After a moment of silence, the informant turned to the picture of Barbara and Philip. Even
though Victor didn’t seem to need an explanation, he continued.
“As for Mrs. Harris, I’m actually not sure what her weakness is. She’s the type of person
who is selfish and prioritizes wealth. But right she has nothing. The only way for us to
attack her is probably thr her daughter. Barbara Harris.”
Victor raised his eyebrows slightly. And this guy?” He glanced at t last figure.
“Barbara’s future husband and the children’s bodyguard-Philip. His qualification is quite
good. He could be a big obstacle if you want to attack the twins or Barbara Harris.”
Victor leaned his head for a moment, letting silence maintain the logic of his thinking. The
informant could not stand the tense of silence.
“Then what are your plans, Sir?” he asked very carefully.

“You want to make amends for your negligence, right?”
The informant quickly nodded. “Yes Sir”
