Chapter 741 Kicked Away

Harriman took a deep breath and said, "So, I misunderstood you?"

"Of course," Bright said with another smile. "I simply adapted to how things were unfolding. I changed my attitude and arrested you to give Richard an explanation. A big shot like Richard has so many things to do every day; he couldn't possibly follow through with this matter to the end. In his eyes, we're just insignificant ants. He won't care or follow up on this. By having you in custody, getting released will be much easier for you."

Harriman was bullish, rude, and domineering, but he was sharp-minded.

He quickly grasped the key point.

If Bright stood by his side, Richard certainly wouldn't be able to save face.

If Richard couldn't save face, the consequences would be severe.

And surely, he and Bright would be the ones to bear those severe consequences.

The shift in Bright's attitude kept the situation from escalating on the spot, which pleased Richard.
