Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA middle-aged man’s voice rang out at the sudden stop of footsteps. There was a certain ingratiation in his voice, “Laurie, Rosemary will be back soon. Don’t say that!” “What? Am | not allowed to say? Andrew Harris, if it wasn't for your poor judgment, how did the company lose $3 million? You will have to figure out how to fill the gap yourself!” “Laurie...” Rosemary waited for the sound to die down, walked in, looked at his father sitting on the sofa, and said, “Dad!” “Rosemary, you're back!” Andrew Harris looked up at her with a bitter smile and said, “Did you hear what Laurie said just now?” “Yes. Is there something wrong with the company? She just sounded like the company was in bad shape.” Rosemary said, looking worried.
Although the family was quite wealthy already, Andrew Harris was often scolded by Laurie because the company’s operation was getting worse and worse in recent years.
After all, Andrew Harris was the breadwinner of his family. He was scolded a lot, which made him feel uncomfortable. But in the face of Rosemary, he did not dare to say it.
With a smile, Andrew Harris digressed and said, “Have you had dinner yet? I'll ask Mrs. Smith to prepare some food for you. You come back from school once in a blue moon. Should you be able to spend more time at home this time?” “Dad, tomorrow is National Day, our school will have a seven-day holiday, have you forgotten that?” Rosemary reminded him.

“Dad, if there's anything going on at work, just let me know and I'll find a way to help you!” Laurie, who just turned back to the living room, heard Rosemary's words and immediately said, “Find a way? What way can you think of?” Looking up at Laurie, Rosemary forced a smile and whispered, “Laurie, I'm just trying to help dad!” “Help him? Or do you want to keep all the money of the company for yourself?” Said a languid voice. A girl in a pink princess dress came down the stairs, looked at Rosemary, and snorted.
“Daisy, can you be polite, please?” Andrew Harris chided softly as he looked at his youngest daughter, Daisy Harris.
Laurie sat down and said with a laugh, “I think Daisy’s right. | guess Rosemary thinks Daisy's grown up now, which makes her feel a sense of crisis, so she wants to get in early to help and take control of the company!” “Laurie, I'm studying acting. And I'm not going to take over the company. You're overthinking it!” “Overthinking?” Laurie snorted, “Who knows? Maybe you'll take over the company sometime!” “Laurie!” Andrew Harris looked at the jeering mother and daughter and his face darkened.
Laurie stood up and turned to Daisy. “Come on, Daisy,” she said, “we're not as good as she is!” As she walked past Rosemary, she stopped short and sneered, “I heard the Grant family is looking for a nubile girl born on July 15th. You just fit the bill, don’t you?"CC OC
