Chapter 491
"Nothing much. Luna and her friends are still freaking out because of your son. I want you to promise them that it will never happen again!" Harold came up with an excuse after Liam answered his call.
He then pointed the lens of his phone at Luna, Naomi, and Michelle.
After hearing what Harold said, Liam's expression turned serious, and he made a promise to the three women. "Of course. I was just about to teach that useless son of mine a lesson. I promise to be more stric with him so that such a thing will never happen again! On behalf of my son, I hereby apologize to you three ladies..." He then bowed respectfully to apologize to them.
Harold was satisfied to see Liam's respectful gesture. He said a few more things to the latter before hanging up.
"Well? Do you believe me now?" Harold asked the three women after the WhatsApp video call ended.
At that point, it was impossible for either of them not to believe him.
The moment they saw Liam appear in the video, they no longer had any suspicions about what Harold had said.
It turned out that it was Harold, the loser whom Naomi and Michelle looked down upon, who helped them resolve the issue with Owen instead of Donny.
Luna glanced at Naomi before asking, "Naomi, Harold put in so much effort to help settle our affairs. Shouldn't you apologize to him?"
"Hmph. He did all that for your sake. Besides, he was lucky. I'm sure Mr. Hightower will sue Harold for deception once he finds out that it was only a coincidence that Harold knew about the cause of Old Mr. Condle's illness and that he isn't actually a miracle doctor. By then, we might be dragged into the mess. If you want me to apologize and thank him, he should at least prove that he's worthy of that!"
Being a prideful person, Naomi couldn't bring herself to apologize to Harold after hearing what Luna said.
With that, she got up and left.
"Naomi, where are you going?"
Luna was confused to see Naomi leaving in a huff.
"I don't feel like eating anymore. I'll be taking my leave first. You all can enjoy!" Naomi said as she ran out of Morinstar Hotel and drove away, leaving Harold, Luna, and Michelle behind. The trio wordlessly exchanged gazes with one another.
At that moment, the dishes they had ordered were served. It would be a waste if they did not finish the food.
"It's fine. Let's sit down and eat. I'll give her a call when I get home!" Luna said as she stared at the delicious food on the table.
"All right. It'll be waste if we don't eat these. Let's eat!"
Michelle's personality seemed to turn a one-eighty. She was the first person to sit down and start eating.
Left without a choice, Harold could only sit down and enjoy the meal.
Not long after, a waiter brought over a bottle of whiskey.
Donny was the one who ordered it, as he had planned to make the three women drunk so that he could seize the chance to take advantage of them.
Though Donny had run off, the bottle of whiskey wasn't returned.
"Waiter, open the bottle and fill our glasses!"
Before Luna could ask the waiter to return the drink, Michelle beat her to it and asked him to open the bottle of whiskey and fill their glasses with it.
Luna's brows knitted into a frown.
"I'll be driving. I shouldn't drink!"
In response to Michelle's unusual behavior, Harold used the excuse of needing to drive to reject her offer.
"Luna, let's drink to celebrate that we became millionaires today!"
Michelle respected Harold's decision and stopped persuading him to drink. Instead, she turned to Luna and invited the latter to drink to their success for the day.
Luna could not reject Michelle when she heard the latter's reason for celebrating.
After finishing the food on the table and the bottle of whiskey, it was clear that Michelle was drunk.
"Harold, how about you use your motorcycle to send her back first? You can come back to the hotel and pick me up after," Luna said with a frown. She watched Michelle staggering in her drunken state before glancing at Harold's motorcycle, which could only carry one passenger.
"All right!"
Harold did not give it much thought. After Luna helped Michelle onto the motorcycle, the latter wrapped her arms tightly around Harold's waist, causing him to frown.
