Chapter 530 Taking Harrietta Away

Upon hearing the voice, Lenora immediately recognized it as Harrietta's. Sure enough, when she looked over, she saw a delicately beautiful girl sprinting toward her. As Harrietta approached, she waved the camera in her hand excitedly. "Hattie! You're here too. I came for work."

Harrietta's eyes sparkled. "So, you're done with work? Aunt Lenora, can you take me out to play?"

Bjorn, clearly displeased, stepped out of his office and cleared his throat. Casting a meaningful glance at Lenora, he said, "Carol, Ms. Wilkin is busy. Don't disturb her." The more Carol interacted with Lenora, the more distant she might become from Isla. Bjorn would never allow that to happen.

If Lenora had any sense, she would know what was expected of her. Yet, upon seeing Harrietta purse her lips, blink, and give her a pitiful look, Lenora's resolve wavered.

Her heart softened. Looking up at Bjorn, she spoke in fluent Uprian, "I've wrapped up my work for today. Carol won't be a bother to me."

Harrietta's face lit up with delight. In Uprian as well, she cheerfully said, "Thank you, Granddad! Have a great day at work. I'm off to play with Aunt Lenora."

Bjorn shot Lenora a sharp glare. This woman is nothing but trouble!

Unfazed by Bjorn's piercing glare, Lenora responded with a calm, pleasant smile. "Mr. Wilson," she said with poise, "I'll be taking Hattie with me now. Don't worry I'll have her back home tonight."

She fully understood his intentions, but that didn't mean she'd play along. Why should I do things according to his wishes? If Isla wants to win Hattie's affection, she should earn it with sincerity and time-not by trying to keep me away. If Isla doesn't change her ways, Hattie will never grow fond of her, no matter what I do.

Wyatt's expression darkened.

At first, Harrietta had been speaking in Clusian. Aside from Lenora and Bjorn, neither Wyatt nor the others paid much attention to her words.

However, as the conversation continued, Wyatt caught on to the crucial detail the girl was Bjorn's granddaughter, and she was quite close to the Clusian photographer.

This photographer really has no sense of propriety. Can't she see that Mr. Wilson clearly doesn't want Carol leaving with her? She's gone and offended him again!

Wyatt couldn't help saying, "Fay, don't you need to finish editing the photos? The magazine has to be sent to the factory for printing soon. Where do you find time to go out and have fun?"

"Bjorn's eyes lit up with approval, casting an appreciative glance at Wyatt.

Noticing this, Wyatt puffed out his chest with pride, his skeptical gaze landing squarely on Lenora."
