Chapter 295: Epilogue
Chapter 295 Epilogue
After several attempts, he opened his eyes. What came into view was Elena, who had fallen asleep leaning against him.
Seeing this scene, a pale smile appeared at the corner of Harrison's mouth.
Since he had known Elena, she had always been cold and stern toward him. He never dared to imagine that one day she would be sleeping peacefully beside him.
Harrison felt happy inside.
He struggled to lift his hand and gently placed it on top of Elena's head. When his large hand touched Elena's long hair, a sense of contentment welled up in his heart.
Elena was awakened by Harrison's slight movement. She suddenly lifted her face, and when she saw Harrison's beautiful smile, tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes.
"Harrison, you're finally awake."
Elena's voice was full of grievance.
Looking at Elena like this, Harrison's tone was full of affection. While stroking Elena's long hair, he teased her playfully.
"I heard a little fool talking non-stop in my ear, so I woke up."
At that moment, Charlotte, who was also in the hospital room, saw this sweet scene. She knew that if she stayed any longer, she would disturb them. She quietly left, as if afraid of interrupting Harrison and Elena.
Only Elena and Harrison remained in the hospital room.
Elena scolded Harrison, "I'm not a little fool."
"You're my little fool, Harrison's little fool." Harrison raised his hand and gently caressed Elena's face.
Their eyes met, filled with deep affection that couldn't be pulled apart.
Half a month later, Charlotte placed all the documents and materials of the Reed Group in front of Elena.
Charlotte said to Elena, "Elena, what a gain! Robert and Christine are both dead, and Mandy has been stripped of her inheritance rights for committing crimes. Now, everything from the Reed family is yours."
Elena looked at these things in front of her, her eyes full of contempt.
No matter how much Robert and Christine schemed and calculated, they never would have thought that what they had coveted from Cecilia all their lives would return to her hands like this.
This could be considered returning things to their rightful owner.
"Elena, the assets your mother left behind were substantial, but because of Robert's poor management, the Reed Group has lost a lot of money over the years. Although the current assets aren't much, it's at least some comfort for your mother."
"What do you plan to do with these things?"
Charlotte asked Elena.
Without hesitation, Elena replied, "No need to handle them. Just donate everything to the orphanage. I think if my mother knew that the assets stolen from her are now being donated to an orphanage by me, she would be happy."
"Mom, do you see? I've taken back everything that Robert and Christine stole from you."
As she said this, tears appeared in Elena's eyes.
Charlotte wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say.
Elena was an adult now. In the adult world, there are adult difficulties. Some things she had to bear herself.
Charlotte sat quietly with Elena for a while. After some time, she prepared to get up and leave.
Just then, Elena called out to her.
Elena said, "Charlotte, have the police finished handling Robert's case?"
Charlotte nodded, "Yes, it's almost all wrapped up. I heard from Nathan that they can close the case soon."
Elena nodded and said to Charlotte, "Please contact the hospital for me. Robert's body can be taken out of the morgue now."
Hearing this, Charlotte wasn't surprised. She asked, "Are you planning to bury him?"
Elena nodded, "Yes, he's still my father after all. It's not right to keep leaving him in the hospital morgue. Better to bury him soon."
Elena's words made Charlotte nod.
She asked again, "So, where do you plan to bury him? Together with your mother?"
Elena quickly shook her head. At this moment, the harshness returned to her eyes.
She said directly, "How could that be possible? How could such a despicable and shameless guy deserve to be buried with my mother?"
"Just find him any public cemetery and bury him there."
Just as Elena finished speaking, her phone on the desk rang. When she saw the caller ID, a smile instantly spread across Elena's face.
She put it on speaker, and Harrison's voice soon came through from the other end.
"Elena, didn't you say you'd leave work early today? We're supposed to go take wedding photos together."
Hearing Harrison's urging, Elena packed up her things while responding, "I'm leaving work now, I'll be home soon. Just wait for me a bit."
Then, the voices of three children came through.
"Mommy, come home quickly! We've been waiting for you for so long."
"Okay, okay, I'll be home right away."
After Elena finished speaking, she gathered her things and left in a hurry. Charlotte watched her and couldn't help but complain.
"Elena, are you so sweet on love that you're ready to throw away your work?"
Elena smiled at her subtly and said, "Don't I still have you? Charlotte, don't worry, when you and Nathan get married, I'll give you a long vacation."
"I'm leaving now, bye."
After Elena finished speaking, she turned and left.
Within just a few days, news of Elena and Harrison's upcoming marriage spread everywhere through the media.
A marriage between two powerful people always attracts attention and becomes the talk of the town.
At that time, a woman in a luxurious manor was leisurely drinking her coffee. When she opened her phone and saw photos of Harrison and Elena happily together, the coffee in her hand suddenly shook.
Was Harrison going to marry someone else?
A look of jealousy appeared on the woman's beautiful face. Her fingers, gripping the coffee cup, slightly lost their color.
Harrison was the man she had her eye on. She wouldn't allow Harrison to marry another woman.
Just then, the woman called out toward the manor villa, "Someone come! Book me a plane ticket. I'm going back to Pinewood City."
After giving the order, a cold smile spread across the woman's face. She said to herself, "Harrison, how could I miss your wedding? Don't worry, I'll give you a big gift that you'll never forget for the rest of your life."
