Chapter 466
However, Harriet and Britney had always kept a low profile, never seeking trouble. Why would someone strike at them like this?
For some reason, Harrier thought of Cody, that cold–hearted man she had encountered at the cafe.
She pondered. Could he find us bothersome, worried that our presence might affect his future, so he orchestrated this to eliminate any potential
threats?
As soon as this thought appeared, it began to grow wildly.
“No, I don’t believe he’s that heartless. Britney is his own flesh and blood. How could he do this?” Harriet exclaimed.
Jason nodded slightly.
Truth be told, he wasn’t sure if this accident was intentional,
But Harriet and Britney had been at Preston Hospital for over half a month without incident. It was only after Harriet encountered Cody that trouble found them. This incident was undoubtedly linked to Cody.
“I don’t think it’s him,” Jason remarked.
Harriet felt a slight relief hearing his denial.
But before she could fully process it, Jason added, “Cody is already married. He and his wife even I
even have a daughter,”
A buzzing sound filled Harrier’s head as if something had exploded inside.
Her face was filled with disbelief, her eyes widened as she stared at Jason, her whole body trembling. “He’s already married with a daughter?”
Harriet thought to herself painfully. No wonder Cody was so indifferent towards me at the cafe that day, even showing signs of disgust. Now a CEO of a major company, he has a prestigious image to uphold by marrying a girl from a prominent family. So that’s why he hasn’t bothered to visit when he learned of Britney’s injury
“It turns out that his wife has also given him a daughter, a picture–perfect family of three. Cody used to mention how much he wanted to have a daughter, always coaxing me to give him one. Now that his wish has come true, he must have poured all his love onto that child. But what about me and Britney? What do we mean to him?‘
Sering Harriet so devastated, Jason turned away slightly, feeling a pang of sympathy.
He pondered, ‘Sophia was also this desperate and helpless back then, right? Who was there to comfort and protect her? In the end, she had to endure all this pain alone, her heart completely broken! Perhaps men are inherently cold–blooded creatures. Only after deeply hurting the women who truly love them would they feel remorse. Then they’d foolishly cling to that cattered love, silently nursing their wounds. It serves them right! I’m no exception.
“I heard Mrs. Gibson is the daughter of a renowned mercenary leader overseas, quite capable. If she suddenly learns her husband has another daughter, she might get resentful. Once this resentment turns into jealousy and hatred, you and your daughter will become targets in her eyes. Jason said.
Harriet wasn’t naive. She could read between the lines. “Are you suggesting that if today’s incident was deliberate, Mrs. Gibson would be the prime suspect?”
Jason lowered his gaze slightly, responding with silence
And his silence was an admission
Harriet forced a wry smile. “I understand. You can rest assured. From now on, I won’t disturb Norman. No, Mr. Gibson.”
Impressed by her insight, Jason couldn’t help but admire her a little.
Independent women were truly different. They could weather any storm.
The current Sophis was also the same.
“Till send someone to protect you and Brimey. If Mrs. Gibson wants to take someone’s life in my territory, she’ll have to ask for my permission first” Jason promised.
Harriet propped herself up against the wall
From the moment she found out the fact this Norman had remarried and had a daughter with his current wife, Harriet’s heart had been shattered

completely.
Now, all Harriet hoped for was her daughter’s safety.
As for Norman, Harriet considered him dead in that shipwreck five years ago.
“Thank you,” she said sincerely.
Sophia spent over three hours in the operating room, undergoing a second surgery for Britney.
Fortunately, Britney’s life was temporarily out of danger.
When Sophia emerged from the operating room, she was exhausted. After she comforted Harriet briefly, Jason carried Sophia to a nearby ward to
rest.
By the time Sophia woke up, the city lights had already lit up the night sky.
She was woken u
up by a commotion. The two bodyguards at the door scented to be stopping someone.
Rubbing
her sore forehead, Sophi
hoarsely asked, “Who’s out there?”
