TimeNovelChapter 1431: 1431. Father and son conversation Ever since Elly Campbell said she could hear them talking, he insisted on speaking beside her for hours every day. Even if she didn't respond at all, he still enjoyed it.
Just the thought of her waking up someday made him wish he could say everything he had to say in this lifetime, regardless of the exhaustion.
But just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by William Hall, who had just chome.
Harry Hall had been raised and educated by Old Master since childhood, so he wasn't particularly close to either his father, William Hall, or his mother, Leanne Richards.

But touching the shares that belonged to Harry was out of the question. Those shares were left to him by his grandfather, Old Master, while he was alive. Even if Harry didn't care about the Hall Clan, he wouldn't let anyone take away what rightfully belonged to Old Master.
William's recent constant scheming had thoroughly annoyed Harry. It was as if he was forcing Harry to retaliate. "Do you need something?" Harry asked directly, without beating around the bush.
"Can't I just talk to you for no reason?" William knew that his son wasn't close to him, which was why he wanted to support his younger son.
If the Hall Clan ended up in Harry's hands, he'd likely spend the rest of his days under Harry's thumb.
But Leo was different. He was young and unseasoned in the brutal battles of the business world. If he took over the Hall Clan, he'd still need his father's guidance.
Moreover, Leo and William had been close since his childhood. Leo wouldn't ignore his father.
"I don't think there's much left to talk about between us." Harry glanced at his watch, making it clear he had no interest in continuing this conversation with his father. William noticed the gesture and suppressed a cold smile, revealing a hint of malice in his somber gaze.
He then looked at Harry and chuckled, saying: "No matter what, we're father and son. There's no overnight grudge between us." But his sudden display of heartfelt sincerity made Harry feel repelled.
William suddenly coming to talk about these trivial matters both annoyed Harry and heightened his guard.
"Your mother and I never had feelings for each other. If it weren't for your grandfather's kindness to my father in his younger days, I'd never have married her." "So marrying her gives you the right to be irresponsibly indifferent?"
Though Harry felt no affection for his mother, Leanne Richards, he certainly didn't condone William's shameless preference for his mistress over his wife.
If there was no love, he could have refused Old Master's pressure to marry in the first place. But since he chose to comply and marry Leanne Richards for the benefits derived from Old Master, how could he justify fooling around outside while letting her and their son beca laughingstock? Yet he still wanted to appear forced by circumstance? He'd gained so much from the marriage, so why pretend to be helpless now?
Harry's gaze at William was openly disdainful. "If you didn't love my mother, why didn't you refuse back then? You were just exploiting Grandpa's connections, weren't you? Now that you've gotten what you wanted, there's no need to fake innocence here." Harry mercilessly tore off William's mask and had no desire to speak further with him.
He raised his hand to glance at his watch again and got up to leave.
"Jason Ainley's daughter-are you really not interested at all?" Behind him, William's voice stopped Harry in his tracks for a brief moment.
