Dauntless God Of War

Chapter 15

Isabella got home before lunchtime.

“Bella, you're back. Did you get my document?” Seeing that Isabella was back, Benson quickly stubbed out the cigarette in his hand.

“Your documents were shredded by Harvey,” said Isabella with hatred as she plopped the small box she was carrying onto the table.

“What? That b*stard Harvey! How dare he...” Benson slapped the table furiously, gritting his teeth.

Those documents are my effort for the past few years, and it's all gone now. If I had known this would happen, I would've acted differently yesterday.

Benson was even more chagrined when he thought of how he put on a virtuous facade and rejected Harold's offer the day before.

Pauline, who was wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen with a pot of mushroom soup. She put the pot on the table and said, “It's just some documents. Do you have to be so mad?”

After reproaching Benson, Pauline looked at the door longingly and asked, “Bella, why are you alone? Where is Harold? I've made some mushroom soup and have been waiting for you two to come home.”

Upon hearing that, Isabella's eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost.

Does Mom really think Harold is the God of War like how Dad thinks he is?

Isabella could not think of any other reason for the stubborn Pauline to change her attitude so quickly.

“He's riding a bicycle, so he's slow.” Isabella rolled her eyes at Pauline and went back to her room.

Harold finally returned when it was lunchtime to see the family eagerly waiting for him to have lunch together.

The scene once again made him feel the warmth of having a home.

“Come and sit down, Harold. This is the mushroom soup I've been making all morning. Come and try some.”

During the meal, Pauline kept serving Harold mushroom soup. The more she looked at him, the more she was fond of him.

She already knew Harold's true identity.

Isabella became a little jealous upon seeing how her mother treated Harold enthusiastically and ignored her. It was as if Harold was their biological child.

The weekend passed in the blink of an eye.

Harold got up early the next day and sent a WhatsApp message to the company's supervisor to apply for a leave.

Disregarding the supervisor's approval, Harold sat by the bed and waited for Isabella to wake up while holding the acquisition contract of Turner Corporation in his hand.

Isabella was still sleeping soundly when she felt the strange sensation of someone watching her.

Afterward, she opened her eyes abruptly and saw Harold's enlarged face right in front of her.

Startled, she shouted, “Ah! Harold, what are you doing?”

Right after she screamed, she remembered how she was reprimanded by Pauline yesterday.

Damn it! Mom will definitely misunderstand again! I screamed like this two mornings in a row. Mom and Dad must definitely think I'm a lustful woman.

Isabella grabbed her hair with her hands and looked at Harold as if she was about to go nuts.

“What do you want?” she asked through gritted teeth.

Harold smiled, took out a document from behind his back, and handed it over. “Happy birthday!”

His voice was as gentle as ever.

Isabella froze for a moment when she heard that. She had totally forgotten about her birthday.

In a daze, she took the document from Harold and asked, “What is this?”

“Have a look,” Harold said mysteriously.

“Turner Corporation transfer agreement?”

Reading the contents of the document, Isabella was stunned. She then eagerly flipped to the back of the document and saw the signatures of Bradley and Brandon.

“You spent only five million to acquire Turner Corporation? That's impossible!”

Isabella was in disbelief.

“Why is it impossible? Because of the Larson family, all the business partners of the company, including Craig, have terminated their collaboration with the Turner family. Coupled with dunning from the bank, they had no choice but to sell it. If not, the company would have to be put on bankruptcy auction.”

His explanation was justified.

“But... we have to pay the loan if we take over, right? How can we afford that?” Isabella asked.

She could not refute his explanation, but at the same time, she was worried about the loan.

She knew exactly how much Turner Corporation borrowed from the bank, and she thought it was already a miracle that the money Benson gave Harold was enough to acquire Turner Corporation.

I didn't know Dad had so much personal savings!

“You don't have to worry about that. Have you forgotten that I'm the God of War? I'll take care of this small matter,” Harold said lightly.

“Harold, that's enough. I know that the money for the acquisition of Turner Corporation came from my dad. You are really shameless. I used to think you're an honest man, but it turns out you were just pretending all along! Get out of here!” she said angrily.

Furious, Isabella then kicked Harold off the bed and chased him out of the room.

Hearing that, Harold was baffled.
