You Are My Mr Wright novel Chapter 51

She had been tossing and turning all night without even closing her eyes for a moment, and it was only in the early morning that heavy drowsiness came over her, making her a little sleepy.

When she went to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water, she woke up immediately.

When she went downstairs, she found that the old lady was also snoring on the sofa. Obviously, she didn't sleep well last night.

Covering her with the blanket, Harriet Smith took out her mobile phone and tried to call Beau again.

Two seconds, three seconds, five seconds, seven seconds...

"Hello..."

When that all-too-familiar low voice came through the phone, her heart, and her body relaxed completely: "Have you arrived there? Are you all right?"

"Yes..." He answered briefly.

After a short pause, she continued to ask, "Is uncle all right?"

"Very good..." This time it became two words, but there seemed to be a little impatience in his deep voice. "Is there anything else?"

"No, when you arrived in the Butte County..."

However, before she could finish her words, he interrupted her. "I'm busy now. I will hang up the phone—— I didn't hear her screaming."

The last sentence confused her. He didn't hear her screaming, who was screaming?

But she didn't think too much about it. He must be very busy now. She sent a text message for fear of disturbing him again.

...Be careful over there, take care of yourself, and be careful of the aftershocks, safely... come back...

She had typed the word "come back" three times and deleted it three times. In the end, she hesitated and firmly typed it and sent it out.

After sending the text message, Harriet Smith stared at the screen for a long time. She thought that maybe he would simply reply with "yes".

However, after waiting for five minutes, the phone screen did not even light up. She thought that he must be really busy.

After leaving her alone in Washington, plus what had happened like that, she was not in the mood to go shopping anymore and wanted to go back to Tranton

He said that he would go straight back to Tranton from Butte County. She still felt at ease staying in the House of Wright, because as long as he returned to Tranton, she could see him at first sight.

She decided to tell the old lady her thoughts. Although it was a little regretful, the old lady did not force her to stay. She just told her to be careful on the way.

Harriet Smith smiled and agreed. She hugged the old lady intimately, pulled her suitcase, and rushed to the airport.

It was really different to take the airplane alone compared to with a companion. It seemed a little lonely.

She didn't sleep well all night. When she got on the plane, she still didn't feel sleepy. She could only look at the white clouds and the sky outside the window out of boredom.

It was in the afternoon when she returned to the House of Wright. Lainey Brown and Sykes Wright were not there. They said that they had gone to the fundraising venue.

She tidied up her suitcase, took out the gifts she bought in Washington, and planned to go home.

However, when she pushed open the door of the living room, she was stunned.

The living room was in a mess as if there had been thieves before, and the things were overturned on the ground.

"Mom, mom, what's wrong? Did ta thief come in? Did you call the police?"

As she shouted, Harriet Smith quickly walked into the room, only to see a group of men in suits pulling Vera Brion's hair and holding knives in their hands. They were bright and dazzling.

Henry Smith, on the other hand, helped Sophia Scott, who was trembling, sit by the bed.

Seeing this, Harriet Smith knew what was going on. Vera Brion loved gambling so much that she didn't change her mind. She didn't have enough money, so the group of people came to her door.

Vera Brion's eyes lit up when she saw Harriet Smith. It was as if she had seen a savior as she spoke to the group of men.
