Dauntless God Of War

Chapter 24

Isabella and her family were about to have breakfast when there was a knock at the door. She immediately went to get the door.

“What are you doing here, Harvey?”

Isabella's face clouded over at the sight of the visitor.

Without answering her, Harvey shoved past her arrogantly and walked in.

He came on behalf of the Turner family, so he believed that only Benson, the head of the family, was qualified to talk to him.

“Uncle Benson, my grandpa has allowed you and your family to return to the family, but under certain conditions—Isabella must return Turner Corporation to us. She's a married woman who is no longer a member of the Turner family. Turner Corporation is his life's work, so it can't fall into an outsider's hands. Besides, Isabella must fill the holes in the company's finance and recover some lost orders before returning Turner Corporation to us. You can only return to the family after these conditions are met.”

Harvey looked so patronizing that it was as if he was being generous to Isabella and her family.

In truth, Edward just asked him to come over and invite them back.

Harvey had taken the liberty of setting the conditions on his own.

“Um...” Benson faltered after glancing at Isabella. They had known that Harold had bought Turner

Corporation and gifted it to Isabella the previous day.

They had initially planned to ask Isabella to return Turner Corporation to Edward as it was the latter's life's work after all.

Having gotten used to being bullied, they did not even think anything was wrong with Harvey's unreasonable demands.

Seeing her father's eager eyes, Isabella remembered the birthday party that her father had held for her the night before.

She opened her mouth but could not bring herself to say no to Harvey.

“You're the son of Bradley, that jerk, aren't you? Go back and tell the old man to send someone with some weight to beg my wife and her family to go back. Who do you think you are? You're just a junior. Also, don't even dream of getting Turner Corporation back. If you can't find a job, there are a lot of odd jobs at Turner Corporation. We can make an exception for you and hire you since we used to be relatives. I'm done talking. Now, get lost!” Harold said while eating breakfast after noticing that Isabella was in a dilemma.

Seeing how cynical Harold was, Harvey was furious. “This is our family affairs. Who do you think you are that you can interfere—”

Harvey stopped mid-sentence and quickly fled as he saw Harold grabbing a chair, ready to hurl it at him.

“Alas!”

Benson could not say anything further as Harold had spoken.

Although he wanted Isabella to return the company to Edward, he dared not go against Harold after he recalled how scared Craig was in front of Harold the day before.

“Harold Campbell, Grandpa finally gave us a chance to return to the family, but you drove Harvey away. What exactly are you up to?” Isabella questioned angrily while glaring at Harold after seeing Harvey flee in fear.

After being kicked out of the family, what's best for us would be to return to the family. Grandpa finally gave us a chance, but this b*stard screwed it up.

Isabella was so mad at Harold that she felt like strangling him to death.

“Don't worry. They'll be back. Don't waste time talking to them if it isn't your grandpa who comes after this.”

Then, Harold continued to eat his oatmeal. “Mom, this oatmeal you made is so tasty. It reminds me of home!”

Harold finished up three bowls of oatmeal and still wanted more.

“My grandpa takes his pride seriously. Do you want him to personally come and invite us back? Dream on!”

What Harold said made Isabella's blood boil.

“Is that so? I can guarantee that Grandpa will definitely come to the door and beg us to go back within three days. I'm full now. I'm going to work.”

After placing down his utensils, Harold took his car key and left for work.

The reason why he still went to work was that he didn't want others to say that Isabella had a lazy husband.

“You...”

Isabella was so mad that she was no longer in the mood for breakfast, so she also took the car key for the blue Audi and left for work.

Turner Corporation was a mess waiting for her to clean up.

Harvey's sudden visit had caused them to arrive late at the company.

Harold was more than ten minutes late by the time he arrived in his white Mercedes-Benz.

But he did not care as much as before.

Before the expiry of The Five-Year Agreement, he could not use any of his previous wealth or influence and had to live like an ordinary man.

But it was different now that five years had gone by. He was now very rich and did not have to worry

about money at all.

Going to work was just to keep up appearances. He did not bother about how much of his salary would get deducted.

After parking his car in the underground garage, he went into the company in a leisurely manner.

Harold was working at Galaxy Media, one of the top three companies in the advertising industry.

He had joined the company in order to pursue Brittany back then. He started as an advertising installer and worked his way up through the company to become part of the project management department, where Brittany worked in.

Just as Harold was entering the office of the project management department, the bearded owner of Galaxy Media came out of his office and happened to see Harold.

He instantly remembered the scene he saw outside Paradise Hotel the day before.

“It can't be him. How could a bigshot like him appear in my small company?”

The bearded man, Matthew White, shook his head to get the unrealistic thoughts out of his mind.

Then, he headed to the conference room.

Meanwhile, Harold's colleagues were shocked when they saw him in the office of the project management department.

They already knew what had happened between him and Brittany.

They did not expect that Harold still had the nerve to come to find Brittany at the company.

“Harold, why are you here? To get Brittany back?” mocked a tall, thin young man in a casual outfit and a pair of rimless glasses.

“Nonsense. Of course, I'm here to work!” Harold rolled his eyes at the man.

The man's name was Kayden Zimmerman, a loyal lackey of Gary Gibson, Harold's supervisor.

Everyone in the office became even more surprised when they heard Harold's reply.

“Why did you still come to work? You were absent from work for no reason yesterday, so you've already been fired. Oh, right. Mr. Gibson told me to inform you yesterday, but I was too busy that I forgot about it! Oops!”

Kayden had a look of surprise, and then it changed to smug.

“Absent from work for no reason?”

Then, Harold took out his phone and checked his WhatsApp.

I can't believe Mr. Gibson didn't approve my leave request.
