<strong>Chapter 1475: 1475. Gradually moving towards waste</strong>


    “Really?”


    Harry Hallughed, but theughter didn’t reach his eyes. “Then Helen certainly won’t disappoint you. Let’s hope that when she wakes up, you can still sincerely hold onto that hope.”


    With those words, he stepped away. But after walking a few steps, he stopped again, turned back to look at William Hall, and smiled subtly.


    That smile sent a chill down William Hall’s spine.


    “I hear you’ve been getting close to Charles Churchill recently. When did your standards drop so low that even someone like Charles Churchill caught your eye?”


    He noticed William Hall’s expression falter slightly but pretended not to see it. Instead, he let the smile slip from his face and added another jab—


    “Or perhaps, birds of a feather flock together. Are you gradually leaning toward worthlesspany now?”


    Listening to his son’s tant snark, William Hall sprang from the sofa, furious. “Harry Hall, no matter what, I’m still your father. Show some respect in your attitude. For now, this Hall Family still answers to me.”


    William Hall narrowed his eyes, the warning and Threat in them thick and unmistakable.


    But Harry Hall did not seem the least bit bothered. On the contrary, he curled his lips nonchntly and dropped a statement with deliberate calm, “Not for much longer.”


    Harry spoke with absolute certainty. In the past, William might not have paid much attention to such words.


    Although his son was outstanding, William was still the one holding the reins of the Hall n. He had far more experience navigating the business world than Harry did. Pulling William down from his position as chairman of the Hall n wasn’t something Harry could aplish easily.


    But that was the past—things were different now.


    A creeping sense of being led by the nose by Harry had taken root in William’s mind. Many things had started slipping out of his control.


    Jason Ainley, on the other side, still hadn’t abandoned his intention to marry rke Ainley to Harry. And rke herself was relentless in her pursuits.


    If Helen Melendy couldn’t hold on and truly passed away, Harry’s dreams would crumble. Perhaps then, he’d actually agree to an alliance with the Ainley n through marriage.


    With Jason Ainley as his father-inw’s backing, wouldn’t seizing control of the Hall n just be a matter of time?


    At this thought, William’s heart sank.


    He shouldn’t have involved himself in the affairs between Helen Melendy and rke Ainley. On the contrary, he should have stood firmly on Helen’s side, helping her to counter Leanne Richards.


    After all, Harry had deep feelings for Helen—rke Ainley stood no chance of marrying Harry.


    But now, with Helen’s life hanging by a thread, it gave the Ainley n’s marriage proposal an undeniable edge.


    Even the most devoted man wouldn’t hold on to memories of a dead woman for long.


    rke Ainley, on the other hand, was very much alive, with a powerful Jason Ainley behind her, as well as the Ainley Group’s vast resources. All of these were invaluable boosts for Harry.


    Anyone with a hint of intelligence would know that marrying into the Ainley n was a win-win strategy for Harry.


    Considering this, William increasingly found himself in a passive position.


    No!


    He couldn’t let Harry marry rke Ainley.


    Setting his mind firmly, he turned to face Harry and smiled. “Are you really so confident you can take the Hall n from me?”


    By now, the power struggle between father and son was clear for all to see. Harry had no need to beat around the bush and responded bluntly:


    “You’ve been trying to kick me out of the Hall n for years, yet here I stand. You should know by now that you don’t have what it takes. If youck the capability, you should ept it and stay in your ce. But insisting on challenging me—that’s just you digging your own grave.”


    He nced at William’s darkening expression and smirked cynically.
