Chapter 438: 295: The Mystery of Martha Owen’s
This unexpected turn of events was quite strange: Ward Owen was actually engaged!
And it’s a shotgun wedding!
When Harrison Clark got the news, he nearly dropped his jaw in shock.
The two had a phone conversation, in which it went something like this.
“Uh, don’t blame me, Master. I didn’t expect it to happen so fast.”
“I didn’t fucking expect it either!”
Ward Owen was a bit nervous, “Isn’t this… a surprise blessing? Master, do you think this will have a negative impact on my acting career? When I get engaged so early, will the fans and passionate female fans leave me heartbroken? If you object, I can stall and announce the news later.”
Harrison Clark held back a mouthful of irritation, “Can you take a look in the mirror? You have no face value! No intense female fans at all!
Fatso: “Huh?”
■You’re a powerhouse in terms of skill, so these things have nothing to do with you. You can really marry someone you like whenever you want, and it won’t affect your career!”
Ward Owen: “Uh…”
Wow, this world is so real.
Fatso didn’t know whether to be happy or depressed.
Why are his feelings so complicated?
Listening to that guy seek opinions on the phone with a mix of pride and trepidation, Harrison Clark wanted to strangle him.
Master’s situation hasn’t even progressed a bit yet, and you, the ne’er-do-well disciple, dare to take a step ahead.
No, two steps!
He couldn’t help but feel sorry for the fat man’s fiancee.
Just how blind, or how poor did she have to be?
“Got any pictures?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“Let me see.”
“I’m not talking about yours! I mean your fiancee s!
“Oh, oh, oh! It’s on my Moments; I just posted our wedding photos.
Looking at the wedding photos the guy proudly posted on Moments, Harrison Clark’s heart skipped a beat.
His mentality instantly exploded.
What the fuck!
They look great!
And that petite and cute face, that hairstyle…
Those facial features…
Hey, girl, what do you have to do with Martha Owen!
Harrison Clark, who was used to shocking others and making them gasp for air, began hissing himself, taking several seconds to calm down.
He started asking fat Ward Owen about what was going on indirectly.
The master wanted to gossip, and Ward Owen, his mind full of happiness and eager to announce it to the world, couldn’t hide his secret.
It didn’t take long for Ward Owen to spill the beans.
After a while, Harrison Clark said, “Congratulations.”
“Thank you, Master. It’s all thanks to your help.”
“No, Ward Owen, you have to treat her well. You have to take good care of the baby in her belly.”
Fatso: “Hey, of course, I have to raise my own child well!
Fatso found it rather strange; why was Master more concerned about the baby than he was?
After hanging up the phone, Harrison Clark immediately drove to London. As he drove, his mind was in a whirl.
Now he understood everything.
Fatso’s fiancee was named Samantha, not a girl fallen from the sky, nor an ordinary person with an unknown background.
Although Samantha’s family background was not as good as Ward’s, and her status was slightly lower, she was still considered one of the local prominent families in Oxfordshire.
In fact, Harrison Clark should have met Samantha once, but he didn’t pay attention at the time, and neither did fat Ward Owen. Harrison Clark didn’t pay much attention to her.
Now Harrison Clark knew that the young couple were childhood sweethearts.
Even fat Ward Owen had a crush on her since he was a child, but he had no interest in money. He was only bitter about his poor image, and every time he chatted with her, he was so nervous that he stammered.
Ward was fine when he was younger, but he became more timid as he grew
older.
Samantha vaguely knew that Ward Owen liked her, but they didn’t really hit it off. Both were on completely different paths, and there seemed to be no chance, so she didn’t take it seriously.
Ward Owen seemed destined to inherit the Whale Group, while Samantha had
two brothers, which allowed her more freedom to arrange her life.
Both went abroad and even attended the same Ivy League school. However, unlike Ward Owen, who used money to get into the international trade program as a slacker, Ms. Samantha was genuinely smart and entered the Ivy League on a real scholarship.
Harrison Clark, with his demanding eye, had to praise Samantha for being a highly promising research talent.
At just 25 years old, she had already earned two different master’s degrees in wireless communications and internet artificial intelligence, and was currently pursuing PhDs in both fields.
Aside from academics and work, her only hobby was listening to music, especially soothing folk music, to relax her mood.
As it turned out, this hobby brought her headfirst into fat Ward Owen’s two folk albums, and she became hopelessly obsessed.
No kidding, although Ward was not good-looking, his voice was really good.
Of course, the most important thing was that Harrison Clark provided him with powerful songs.
Fatso might not be the emperor of the domestic folk music business, but he could certainly be considered at least a prince.
After falling in love with the music, Samantha became interested in Ward again and excitedly called back, asking if that Ward Owen was him.Of course, Fatty said he would always be the same, and they hit it off right away.
During Samantha’s recent vacation, the two of them spent most of their time together.
As they grew closer, their mutual understanding and the fact that they had known each other since childhood made them more comfortable with each other.
Before long, things turned out as they are now-an unexpected pregnancy.
At first, Chris was also taken aback when he heard about it, but after discussing with Samantha’s brothers, they thought it wasn’t a bad match for either side.
So they agreed to let it be, which turned out to be quite a story. Harrison fully understood why Fatty’s belly had been shrinking so fast a few days ago. He thought it was because of his busy work schedule, but it turned out that Fatty had been overworking himself for personal reasons.
Damn it!
The traitor!
How could he bear to… for such a cute little girl…
Oh well, never mind.
For Harrison, this was indeed good news.
He had read about Fatty’s marriage and family life in the historical records before but hadn’t paid much attention to who his disciple’s wife looked like or what her name was. As a mentor, he only wanted Fatty to have a peaceful life in the music industry.
Who he married and had a child with didn’t matter at all.
Now, Harrison realized the importance of this because he remembered Martha Owen, the resourceful little spirit who seemed to have vanished without a trace.
A long time ago, in order to save Nora Camp from the control of the World Government, Harrison had worn a Battle Armor named “Azure Star” made by Martha.
The activation code for the armor was 0JL19940503.
Harrison should have realized earlier that it was Fatty’s birthday, right?
No wonder he hadn’t heard of General’s best friend in the Black Bear Training
Base before. It was likely that Martha didn’t even exist at that time.
After he changed Fatty’s destiny, history changed along with it.
Starting from his success in the art world, he and Samantha, whom he would have missed, were destined to become close sooner or later. Combining the strengths of two people…
And keeping only Samantha’s advantages, they left behind the high-level Owen bloodline, eventually turning Martha into another important historical figure, in many ways, Martha was incredibly lucky. No matter the combination of genes, she always managed to appear in the end.
Martha’s importance goes without saying.
Without her, Harrison might still be clueless about the infiltration and control of the Invaders.
He was filled with a thousand emotions.
He had to work extremely hard just to push civilization forward a little bit.
As for Fatty, he just had to sing and enjoy his life, saving not only the Whale Group but also leaving behind Martha’s bloodline.
He was truly a remarkable little genius.
People could really make others jealous. Fatty might just be the real Son of Fate (professional at winning effortlessly).
Harrison broke into a cold sweat.
Thank goodness he refused Martha’s pairing request and didn’t do anything with her.
Otherwise, how would he face Fatty?
What a mess their relationship would have been!
The Owen family is truly talented.
in the 21st century, they produced a great father in Chris, and in the 31st century, a great descendant in Martha.
In his previous life, Fatty’s ancestors must have had green smoke coming out of their graves. What a lucky life!
Fearful and a bit envious, Harrison decided to give Fatty a lesson after returning home.
When he arrived at Homey Rose, it was already evening.
Since everyone had become familiar with each other, the cozy courtyard with all its facilities and equipment, managed by Avril Green, became the fixed gathering place for private meetings.
It was here that Ward Owen’s small engagement feast took place today.
At noon, Chris held one in a starred hotel controlled by the Whale Group, and in the evening, it was time for a small circle of close friends and family to interact.
There were not many people, less than twenty in total.
In addition to Harrison, Carrie Thomas, who had returned from the United States two days earlier, and the hostess, Avril Green, there were Julia Lambert, Susan Lambert, a few executives from Summit Ventures, Lucy Haywood, Leah Clark, Jenny Hart, and Rainer, who caught a break from his busy schedule. When Harrison entered the courtyard, Carrie and Avril were not around; they had gone shopping together.
The bride-to-be, Samantha, was also absent. She was said to be hosting a tea party with her girlfriends and close friends at a club not far away.
“Harrison, you’re here! We’ve been waiting for you!
The moment Harrison walked in, sharp-eyed Susan Lambert was the first to spot him.
Everyone gathered around him.
Fatty tried to hide his joy and said to his mentor, “Master, take care.
He had known about it already.
Fatty was that kind of person. Previously, when he deliberately joked with
Harrison while reporting the news, it was to make Harrison happy.
Although he looked simple and honest, he was much smarter than most people in the world.
Well, except for managing a business.
The others followed suit, “Take care.”
Harrison smiled, “It’s okay. My grandfather went out with style, even manlier than me. Don’t be like this, today is a good day. Let’s be happy.” “Alright, as long as you’re okay, Master. Sit here, I’ll get some snacks for you.” Lucy Haywood exclaimed, “I’ll go! This is my specialty, Michelin three-star certified!”
After greeting everyone, Harrison called Julia Lambert aside.
“Old Lambert, you seem to have something on your mind.. What happened?
