Married Contract With You, My Perfect Husband Chapter 161
Advertisement
Harry didn't have much right to meddle in her private affairs. And Cleo had succumbed to him enough to not go anywhere today but to the one place. Harry should have tolerated her, but instead, he got angry.
"Do you think I am your puppet who has to follow your wishes? If you say 'A', then I will do 'A'. And if you say 'B', then I will do 'B'. You're clearly too much, Harry Miles Theodore!"
Cleo deliberately showed her arrogant attitude as not to continued to be colonized.
Harry seemed to have looked at Cleo more deeply. Knew that Cleo was not a woman he can easily subdue. And he didn't want him to look so easy to beat. Harry was no less fierce than Cleo.
"You're still my wife even if it's only a contract. Don't make me repeat what I said because I don't like it. Miles' name is also engraved on your last name when you have a status as my wife. You shouldn't be able to just go out and meet your man. I'm still your husband," Harry said stubbornly.
Cleo was certainly no less stubborn.
"Oh, come on! What are you saying? Aren't you over-dramatizing something? I'll only meet Willy, 'my friend'! You shouldn't mind this if you really are 'my legal husband'. I'm not doing anything bad, of course," Cleo said while playing with words of debate.
Harry looked at her in disbelief. Assumed if Cleo was getting smarter just to fight him.
"Are you still going to insist on leaving?" Harry asked with all of his refusals.
Cleo said confidently, "Yes."
"I'll still go even if you forbid!" Cleo quickly added. Harry felt that he had no strength whatsoever against her. Left her alone and agreed to it.
Harry looked at Cleo lazily.
"You will be escorted by the driver later," Harry said, made Cleo turn to him.
"How about you?" asked Cleo who knew that Mr. Gray had always been his most loyal driver which followed him everywhere.
Harry replied casually.
"I'll go by myself," he said coldly and then stood up.
Cleo asked again before the man left.
"Isn't your office closed? I thought you aren't going to go today," Cleo exclaimed in surprise and thought about it.

Harry had originally wanted it but he canceled it because it turned out that Cleo wanted to leave the house to meet Willy. Harry certainly didn't want to see the man again even though he was indebted to him because he saved Cleo.
Harry still didn't want to see him because he didn't like him. And did not want to see his togetherness with Cleo which would surely pierce his heart so precisely. Harry would rather keep himself busy while investigating further into Robby's attempts to harm him.
Had an impromptu meeting again. But this time, through an online system. Arthur sent some files regarding Robby for Harry to study and examine.
"So Robby had two wives and a child in each of his marriages? His first wife has died. And he's only been communicating with his son from his first wife recently?"
Harry read the report and was amazed.
The fact that his first marriage had failed due to the presence of a second woman made Harry quite surprised because the man seemed very loyal to his partner. Took good care of her daughter until her daughter's character was worthy of a lady to a noblewoman.
Robby certainly showed great concern for his family.
It was still hard to believe that someone like that had created such a mess in his life. Harry couldn't understand why the man had to go through all of that awkwardness if he'd been living very well all this time.
Robby shouldn't have cheated.
Luan and Arthur seemed to agree with his argument. They still seemed to have not found a single reason or trigger of why Robby did it all.
"If it's only because of business competition, that reason seems too simple. But if there was another, more specific reason, I think that would be the answer. But I still can't predict it."
Sofia appeared when Harry was still enjoying the online meeting. Sofia came excitedly to meet her grandchildren. Until she asked about her granddaughter-in-law. Harry was forced to tell a long story again when Sofia forced him to open up.
Sofia immediately looked annoyed when she heard all of Harry's stories that invited her angry veins.
"Is it true that the culprit is your ex named Aretta?" Sofia asked enthusiastically and still found it hard to believe.

Aretta was clearly too brave and reckless to be able to do all of that. In fact, she had previously received one sentence for her actions. What was her brain made of?
Sofia was infuriated by her.
"Where is she now? Why don't you arrest her on charges of intentionally harming others? You shouldn't stay still. Is not it?" Sofia asked while tilting her head at Harry.
"Of course I have done so much to catch that woman until she disappeared without a trace. Someone suddenly took her just as we were about to reach her. I've taught their men a lesson until I managed to solve the problem at the construction site. Grandma doesn't need to worry," Harry said, tried to calm his grandmother.
Sofia looked a little relieved as well as a little worried.
"Did someone order her? Or is this Aretta's own initiative?" Sofia asked, deliberately tried to find out more of the truth.
Sofia had investigated this matter herself through her trusted people. Sofia already knew that someone else was behind the construction case. And Aretta was one of the subordinates.
Until she wanted to hear the truth from Harry's mouth.
Harry certainly couldn't help but tell hid Grandma the assumptions and truths he'd managed to get recently.
"I'm still investigating, Grandma. However, this problem may be the result of someone else's actions. And Aretta is one of his subordinates, that's probably true," said Harry, gave only a small amount of information. But Sofia knew that Harry must be suspecting someone right now.
Sofia then asked him.
"Does this have anything to do with Mr. Robby from Yugio Entertainment?" Sofia asked curiously. Sofia honestly also suspected that the man was behind all of the chaos that occurred in the construction site, until the possibility that he had deliberately brought Aretta back to this city to meet Harry.
Harry seemed a little interested in how Sofia found out. Until she also suspected Robby.
"Does Grandma know about something?" Harry asked his Grandma back instead and was curious too. He thought that his grandmother might know something.
Sofia of course could only keep a straight face to cover her suspicions on Robby due to lack of evidence. And the investigating stare that Harry threw at her.
"Grandma asked about it because Aretta works in his company. Does he have anything to do with your case?" Sofia asked, found an alibi for his question quickly.
Harry didn't look suspicious.
Knew that his grandmother was quite smart and can always found lots of loopholes from anyone who might be in contact with those with problems. Harry even suspected Robby only after he got some interesting information from his team.
And of course the information from Aretta, which he knew even though they were words that she used to stir him up against them. Harry was clearly convinced that there was some truth behind everything that she said.
Harry massaged his forehead lightly.
"I'm still investigating it. But all sources pointed at him. I'm still telling people to keep looking for information about the problem. The problem is that there is no trigger to find a strong reason if it is true that the man is the culprit. We are still speculating. Let me know if Grandma knows anything," Harry explained plainly. At the same time, he was asking if his grandmother knew something.
Sofia didn't seem to want to say anything and pretended as if she didn't know anything.
"Isn't your business partner? Why should I be the one who probably knows more than you?" Sofia asked instead and felt Harry's last words shouldn't have been directed at her.
Sofia tried to be calm even though in her heart, she was actually a little anxious. Harry didn't ask again. Assumed that his grandmother certainly couldn't possibly know anything as she said.
Sofia had changed the topic to something else.
"So, is my granddaughter-in-law at home now?" asked Sofia who didn't see Cleo in the office today and her desk was empty.
Harry shook his head.
"She was in the hospital to visit her friend who was a helper for yesterday's incident. Cleo isn't home right now," said Harry still with a face that would bend whenever he spoke of the man.
Sofia looked surprised.
"And you didn't come to accompany her?" Sofia asked disapprovingly of her grandson's coolness. Harry should have accompanied his wife when yesterday's incident had just happened.
