Timothy turned to shoot a mocking glare at Harper. “It seems like you’re in trouble, Mr. Quinn.’ Harper naturally knew what Timothy was referring to.
He pretended to calmly put his phone away and said, “It seems like we’ll have to discuss business another day.” He then turned to leave.
If he stayed any longer, there was no way he could get away scot-free when the police found them. Timothy saw through his plan and ordered the bodyguards next to him, “Do not let him leave.”
The two men nodded in acknowledgment and moved forward to capture Harper. Seeing that, Harper went pale. He quickly ordered his men to stop the two men.
Even with his current situation, he did not forget to threaten Timothy as he barked out his threat. “Are you sure you want to be an enemy of Prospera?”
“I never wanted to be your enemy, but you came after me first!” Timothy’s retort was as cold as ice. During this time, the two bodyguards had completely defeated all of Harper’s men.
Harper panicked when he saw that. He turned to run away, but he only took a few steps before the two men caught up to him.
He seemed to have lost all sense of logic as he turned around to fight. In the end, the two bodyguards captured him with a swift move by twisting his arms behind his back.
That afternoon, Henry was rescued by the police and sent straight to the hospital. The police were also fast to arrive to arrest Harper. Seeing that, Timothy handed Harper over to: them.
“I wish to lodge a report; this man kidnapped my business partner and used shady business tactics to blackmail me into selling company secrets,” he stated.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Reinhart. We’ll thoroughly investigate him and ensure justice is served.” The policeman in charge swore to Timothy with a solemn expression.
Timothy nodded and watched them leave. Deep down, he knew that they had all the evidence and witnesses they needed to ensure Harper could not escape the long arm of the law.
Soon, he left the area as well. However, he headed to the hospital instead. At the hospital, he found out that Henry was generally fine except for a few flesh wounds. He merely needed to rest for a few days.
“You rascal! Let’s see if you still have the guts to drink so much alcohol in one go.” Mrs. Tompkins’ eyes were red as she smacked Henry.
He gritted his teeth at the pain. “Mom, my dearest mom… Ouch! Be gentle, please! I won’t go out drinking again, okay? Dad, help me stop her. I am wounded.”
“I should let your mother teach you a lesson. I keep telling you to stop drinking so much, but you just won’t listen.”
Mr. Tompkins had no intention of stopping his wife. In fact, he even told her to smack Henry harder. That was the sight that greeted Timothy when. he stepped into the room. At once, all of his anxiety fled from his mind.
It was then that Henry spotted Timothy and hurriedly cried out to him, “Timothy, help me! My mom is going to kill me!”
“I think she’s doing a good job. I told you to be careful since we were going through dangerous times, but you still went out drinking. You deserve this.”
Not even Timothy was willing to help Henry.
On the way over, he had been briefed by Edward on how Henry was kidnapped. At that moment, he felt that Henry completely deserved the beating.
When Harper’s scheme against the Gullivers failed, he reminded Henry to avoid going out during the night and drinking during business dinners.
As for Henry, he was currently fooling around and clutching at his chest, hurt that his best friend had abandoned him as well. “Tess, Timothy is bullying me!” he cried out.
“I think he’s being very reasonable.” Tessa shrugged. She arrived at the hospital with Timothy soon. after Henry was rescued..
The group fooled around a while more before the Tompkins approached Tessa and Timothy with grateful looks on their faces. “Thank you so much for rescuing our Henry.”
“You’re too kind, Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins. This is our duty. Anyway, Henry is my business partner. I can’t just ignore him.” Timothy stopped the elderly couple from being polite.
