One Wild Night-Chapter 543 Gullible/Emotionally Needy

Sara was silent for some seconds as she tried to figure out why Harry could possibly be calling her.

Did Aaron finally tell him about her? What about Lucy? Did she tell either Harry or Aaron about their discussion? What was going on?

"Are you that surprised by my call?" Harry asked when she did not say anything after some time. He had called her not only to satisfy his curiosity and to put his plans in motion, but he had also called to catch her off guard and to take a peek at what was in her head. He wanted to see just how smart she was.

"As a matter of fact, I am. I don't know what to say," Sara answered more honestly than Harry had expected.

"My father told me about you. I still can't believe that I never knew of your existence until now. Why didn't you say anything when we met?" Harry asked, sounding like he was genuinely surprised.

"Your father asked me not to say anything to you until he had the chance to open up to you," Sara said, still trying to figure out what Harry was up to.

"I must say I'm disappointed that you didn't reach out to me. I would love to meet with you. I think we need to meet and talk," Harry said, and a thin line formed on Sara's brows.

"Did your father tell you that we met recently? What did he tell you about me?" she asked, wanting to know how much Harry knew.

As much as Harry hated telling lies, he couldn't bring himself to tell her the truth right now. Telling her the truth wouldn't serve his purpose, and a person like her did not deserve the truth.

"Yes, he told me of your meeting. That's how I know you were the one I met at the restaurant. He told me you both got separated after my birth because you were dealing with postpartum stress and he couldn't be there for you as you wanted him to be," Harry said, and Sara paused.

That sounded like something Aaron could say. Knowing Aaron, he was capable of taking the whole blame for something like this just so his son wouldn't be hurt by the truth. She knew him well enough to know that he would be too emotional to tell Harry the truth, but what about Lucy? What did she tell Harry and Aaron? Had she told them of the twin who didn't die yet?

From the little she had seen, Lucy was nothing like Aaron, and judging by all Lucy knew about her and their family ties, she doubted that Lucy would withhold all that information from Aaron and Harry.

"Was that the only thing your father told you?" Sara asked cautiously.

"Yes," Harry said, knowing the reason for her wariness.

"What about Lucy?" Sara asked, and Harry almost smirked since he could tell the reason for her question.

"Lucy? What about Lucy?" Harry asked innocently.

Did that mean Lucy didn't tell him anything? Sara mused, "I just wanted to know if she told you anything about our meeting," Sara explained.

"Is there something she is supposed to tell me? Did you give her a message for me?" Harry asked sounding like he was genuinely confused by her question.

"No. Nothing. I'm just asking after her. You know, she was with your father the last time we met," Sara said quickly, not wanting him to suspect anything.

Did Lucy decide to keep everything she knew to herself seeing that they are related? Or did she tell Aaron and he asked her not to mention it to Harry? What was going on? Sara wondered.

"Oh, Yeah! I think I remember them mentioning it. Anyway, I called because I would love for us to meet in person. I figured that I should meet the woman who gave me life," Harry said, and Sara frowned as she looked at her laptop's screen.

It wasn't like she had genuinely wanted a family reunion or anything. If this research institute turned out to be legit as she was beginning to believe it was, then she wouldn't really be having any real need for Harry's liver unless she was keeping him as an alternative.

Although she still had to think about Lucy's warning. Lucy had warned her not to go anywhere close to Harry, or she would expose her. Not that she cared much if Lucy told Harry and Aaron the truth since it would be their word against hers. The doctor was dead, and the hospital records were destroyed. The other twin was nowhere to be found, so there was no evidence to prove that she had lied.

What she cared about, however, was Lucy exposing her to the world. Her reputation was important to her. She knew how gullible people were. With or without evidence, such a scandal would affect her.

She was now considered a veteran in the modeling world and she was still a role model and mentor to so many young ladies, and she couldn't let such a scandal destroy her life.

As much as she despised Lucy and would like to ignore her, she couldn't risk leaving such a secret with Lucy.

Could she count on Lucy being more reasonable now since it was Harry who was asking to meet her? Would Lucy choose to let peace reign and destroy whatever information she had?

"Are you there?" Harry asked when Sara remained silent.

Sara cleared her throat, "Yeah. Is your father aware of this? I mean the last time we spoke he and Lucy were keen on keeping me away from you, so...."

"Don't worry about my father. He is aware that I need to unite with my mother. And Lucy is not a part of our family so she really doesn't have a say in who I meet with or not. You are free to decide on the venue for our meeting and let me know," Harry offered, knowing that would make her let down her guard a bit and not feel suspicious.

"Are you sure she doesn't have a say? Your father seemed very fond of her," Sara said, still wanting to know just how close Lucy was to Harry.

"Yes, he is. She is my best friend's girlfriend. Do you know Tom? The guy who was with me when we met. Lucy is his girlfriend and she stays by my father's side to keep him company when I'm busy, so they're sort of attached to each other," Harry explained easily, and Sara frowned slightly, feeling genuinely confused by Harry's attitude.

"I would really love to meet you, and get to know you...."

She couldn't understand what was happening or what Harry wanted from her, "You don't mind that I left?" Sara asked.

"I'm sure you had your reasons. I'm an adult and I don't think there is any reason for us to be stuck in the past. Let's all move on," Harry offered, and Sara relaxed.

It seemed like Harry was exactly like his father. Weak and emotionally needy, Sara thought with a smirk.

Although she didn't really need Harry anymore, If she could get close enough to Harry, she could find a way to confirm if it was true that Lucy had recorded their conversation at the restaurant that day, and then she would find a way to destroy whatever Lucy had.

After that, she would find a way to discredit Lucy. She wouldn't hurt her. That would be too much of a hassle. She would discredit her and make sure Harry and Aaron would never believe any word that comes from her.

She paused. What about Janet? Even if she discredited Lucy, she would still have to face Janet she reminded herself.

Almost immediately she remembered that Lucy had not even told Janet about their meeting. She was the one who mentioned their meeting to Janet.

Well, since it seemed like Lucy had not told anyone yet about their discussion and had failed to tell Harry about their family ties, she would just have to beat her to it and tell Harry first.

She would tell Harry about her family ties with Lucy and a bit of truth about her background. If Harry was half as gullible as his father, as she suspected he was, and if she pulled it off well enough, Harry would despise Janet. That was the only way she was going to succeed.

"Are you still there?" Harry asked again after a short while. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

"Alright. I will get back to you on it," Sara said, feeling in control of the situation.

"Thanks. I look forward to seeing you," Harry said with a satisfied smile before Sara hung up.

He didn't mind that he was going to seem gullible and desperate to her. That was exactly what he wanted her to believe, Harry thought as he dialed another line.

"Find me a beautiful young lady between the ages of twenty-seven and twenty-eight," Harry instructed the moment the person received the call, and once he gave him the specifics he rose from his bed and headed to the living room to intimate Aaron and Candace with his plans.

Thankfully, the nurse was out and it was just his father and Candace seeing a movie and discussing in the living room when he got there.

"Jamal is still sleeping?" Harry asked when he noticed the kid was still not out yet.

"Yeah. He barely naps, but when he does, it takes all day," Candace said, and Aaron chuckled.

"Harry was just like that too. I think he still is," Aaron said as Harry sat down.

"I just got off the phone with Sara," Harry informed them, and Aaron's heart skipped a beat as it always did at the mention of Sara, while Candace raised a brow.

"She called you?" Candace asked as her gaze moved to Aaron whose face had lost all the traces of the smile it had held only seconds ago.

"No. I called her...."

"What for?" Aaron asked with a slight frown. Sara was bad news and he didn't want Harry to get involved with her.

As far as he was concerned, if Harry wanted to teach her a lesson, he should do so from a distance and not go anywhere near her.

"I told you not to try to stop me, remember? So calm down. This is me doing what I have to do to punish her. I didn't tell her about anything we heard from Lucy," Harry said, quickly summarizing the conversation between him and Sara.

"Sara is manipulative and deceitful...."

"I've heard enough about her to know that. Trust me, and don't worry about me," Harry assured Aaron, and he sighed in resignation.

"You are not going to tell her about me, are you?" Candace asked, knowing that she wanted absolutely nothing to do with Sara. She would rather not set eyes on Sara in this lifetime or in the one to come.

"I won't. But I need your help. I will need you to give me the details of the orphanage where you were raised and whatever you can remember," Harry said, and Candace narrowed her eyes.

"You want to get someone to pretend to be me?" she asked, and Harry smiled. Impressed by her smartness.

"Yes. I'm going to pay someone to be you. We have to know everything she plans to do," Harry said, and Candace nodded.

"You can let me know if you need my help," Candace offered.

"I will definitely need your help. You have to talk to the sisters at the orphanage to play along and help us convince Sara that whoever we will be using is you," Harry said, and Candace shrugged.

"That's easy enough. I can do that," she said, and Harry nodded.

"You're not bringing Jamal into this, right?"

"Of course, not!" Harry said, displeased that his father would even think that.

Satisfied, Candace yawned as her gaze moved to the wall clock, "I should probably give Adolf a call so he can be on his way to pick us up."

"You don't have to. I will drop you off. I need to see Tom," Harry said, and Candace wiggled her brows.

"Are you sure you did not mean Tom's sister?" she asked in a teasing tone, and Aaron chuckled.

"I think that was what he meant," Aaron said, and Harry tried not to scowl as he looked from Candace to their father and back again.

"I received a call that Matt wants to join I-Global entertainment. Did you know that?" Harry asked, knowing that would not only shut her up but also get their father's attention.

"What has that got to do with me?" she asked with a scowl while Aaron grinned, enjoying himself at both their expense.

"Well, he's your friend, isn't he? Do you want us to accept him or not?" Harry asked, and Candace glared at him.

"You're bringing Matt up only because you don't want to talk about Jade, right?" Candace asked knowingly.

"And you are going back to that because you don't want to talk about Matt," Harry said, and Candace sighed as she shook her head.

"Anyway, just so you know, Jade has no plans of visiting you anytime soon. She says you are not her boyfriend yet, and you won't be seeing her until after the anniversary," Candace said, and Harry raised a brow.

"What else did she say?"

"Nothing that concerns you. Just some stuff about someone called Anita having a clash with Lucy at the spa and inciting the other ladies to hurt Lucy. Do you know who that is?" She asked, and Harry raised a brow.

"Lucy was hurt?" Aaron asked with concern.

"No. I don't think so," Candace said as she picked up her phone and read out Jade's story to their hearing.

"Do you know who that is?" Candace asked, and Harry nodded.

"She is Tom's ex-girlfriend," Harry said distractedly. If they already did not plan to carry out the live show, he would have been very mad at Tom for not handling Anita's issue properly.

He glanced at the wall clock, he was going to have to inform Tom and Lucy about his plan to handle Sara. He could just as well see them after dropping off Candace and Jamal. He would have to see Jade too. It was obvious that he had hurt her feelings.
