"I owe it all to Billy. Without him, I wouldn't have gotten a single penny..." Harleen briefly explained the situation.
"Wow, brother-in-law, you're amazing! Who do you know at Ozin Tower?" Felicia exclaimed with an exaggerated expression as she looked towards Billy.
"One of their department managers is a good friend of mine." Replied Billy.
"I don't believe you!" Felicia questioned with a suspicious look, "Can a department manager decide on that thing?"
"Well I'm not entirely sure about that." Billy said and laughed.
"Billy, thank you!" Sharon spoke up after calming down her excitement slightly.
"Mrs Knight, it's okay. It's no biggie."
After a pause, Sharon continued, "I formally apologize to you now. It was my fault before, please don't take it personally."
"Please don't say that. If anyone needs to apologize here it's me for causing all this trouble for your family. But please rest assured, from now on, I won't let anyone bully you anymore!"
"I believe in you." Sharon nodded and replied.
"I'll go cook some food for lunch. Billy and Casey, could you guys join Fletcher for a drink later? He hasn't drunk fro long."
"Sure. Thank you, Mrs Knight."
At 2pm, after finishing lunch and playing with Tasha for a while, Billy said goodbye to the family and left with Casey.
"Hey brother, when are we gonna lay hands on the three families?" asked Casey as he started the car.
"Has the eldest son of the Watkins family arrived in Ozin yet?"
"He should be arriving this afternoon."
"Good! Send a message to Judge and have him find Harriet Howell. Let's settle her accounts before we go after the Watkins family."
It was time to settle all debts.
"Got it!" Derek nodded and pulled out his phone to send a message.
Less than 10 minutes later, they received a reply from Judge with Harriet's address. Casey stepped on the gas pedal and headed towards her estate.
Harriet was hosting a small party at her estate for some of Ozin's most prominent figures. Since the Miles family incident, she had become one of Ozin's top women-known as its queen-thanks in part to her endless social skills and the fact that she was known as Osmond Watkins's mistress.
Harriet Howell, who was not yet 35 years old, had skin as delicate as a teenage girl's and a natural beauty that made it hard for most men to look away. Of course, being in her prime, she also kept two strapping young men besides Osmond. But Osmond turned a blind eye to this arrangement because it lightened his load considerably.
"To you, Harriet." Said a gallant while raising his glass. "Here's wishing you stay forever young!"
"Thank you, Wang!" Harriet replied with a seductive smile. Today she wore a low-cut sweater that showcased her stunning figure and an exquisite platinum necklace with an abyssal gemstone at its end on her slender neck. Her tight jeans hugged every curve perfectly.
"Harriet, I heard your club is opening next month?" another rich boy asked Harriet with lustful eyes.
