Xavier knew very well what Rufus was up to.
Jacob was worried. Mr. Gates and Mr. Jones were colleagues, but Mr. Jones was upright and honest and never abused his power.
Many people said that the Jones Group's achievements today were all because of Mr. Jones, but Jacob knew that Xavier had done it on his own.
He didn't get any benefit from Mr. Jones.
But the master of the Gates Family was different. Rufus was doing business, but also secretly did something illegal. With Mr. Gates protecting him, he was living a good life.
But they were afraid that they would be exposed one day, so they wanted to cooperate with the Jones Family. If things were exposed, the Jones Family had to seek help from them and the problem would be solved by their strengths.
Although Rufus had tried many tricks, Xavier still refused to go along with them in their evil deeds.
This time, he was caught out and Rufus would definitely make the best use of his mistake.
Jacob wanted to persuade him, but Xavier didn't want to listen and hung up.
The next day, the thing that Marshal killed someone in a fight made the headlines.
For a moment, it provoked much discussion.
Xavier ignored this and went to work at the company as usual.
Jacob was very anxious.
Jacob felt like he was being a back-seat driver.
Everyone in the Harrison Family was anxious.
The whole family had been up all night because of Marshal, and they were panicked when they saw the news this morning.
Richard looked ten years older than the last time his family saw him. He really loved his son.
"Ask Harriet to beg Xavier!" Richard slammed the table.
"To beg him again? Because of this, their marriage was canceled." 'Don't Estella want Harriet to beg Xavier?'
She did. Marshal was also her child. How could she not be anxious?
But yesterday, seeing the attitude of the Jones Family, she knew that the Jones Family would not interfere in this matter.
Even if she wanted to save her son, she couldn't ask Xavier for help.
"Are you saying Harriet's marriage is more important than Marshal's life?" Richard scolded coldly.
Harriet didn't sleep much all night. She had just fallen asleep in the morning and was woken up by Richard's roar.
She was exhausted. When she heard Richard mention her marriage, she rushed down the stairs and shouted at Richard. "He's your son. But I'm also your daughter. He did this because you have spoiled him too much. My marriage is not important to you now just because of him. Why?"
Estella quickly grabbed hold of Harriet's arms and comforted her. "You still have a chance to marry Xavier. Calm down."
Harriet couldn't calm down. "Mom, I see. It must be Arya. She was behind all these things. Otherwise, Xavier wouldn't have dumped me."
Suddenly, Harriet widened her eyes and stared at Estella in panic. "Did Xavier know what happened back then?"
"Harriet!" Estella snapped. "That was you back then!"
Harriet still didn't believe it. She couldn't accept that Xavier didn't want to her anymore.
She covered her face and cried. "I love him. I want to marry him. Mom, please help me."
"I'll help you. Don't be afraid." Although Estella said so, she was not confident. Estella didn't know how to help her. Marshal was in jail, but the Jones Family didn't want to help him.
It was all because of Arya.
Because of her, Xavier ignored Harriet and even wanted to cancel the engagement.
The company was hers, and they had lost everything.
Estella was resentful. 'Why didn't Arya die in prison?'
Their life would be perfect if she had died.
She must ruin Arya's life.
So Harriet wouldn't have the chance to be with Xavier or live in this world.
She hugged Harriet who was panicked and crying and said with a grim expression. "Mom will definitely protect you. I will ruin Arya, and she will never be a threat to you."
The Harrison Family was filled with panic and fear.
***
But Arya was calm. Naturally, she knew what had happened to Marshal since it had made the headlines.
She just looked out of the window. 'Is this retribution to them?'
