Chapter 470: Chapter 311: Avril Green’s Diarv 1
Translator: 549690339 J—
After quickly skimming through the diary, Harrison Clark sighed deeply, “Why are you doing this? It’s only three to five years. I can wait.”
He found the words familiar because he had said them to Avril Green in person before, and they were clearly written in the diary.
But Avril Green had countered him.
She said, “Humans only have a thousand years left, five years equals one two- hundredth of that. It’s not five days, it’s five years! If you’re really responsible and selfless, you shouldn’t give up these five years.”
“The enemy is so powerful that it’s unfathomable. Even if it’s just a one in ten thousand acceleration, you shouldn’t give up. We have grand ambitions, and this is just a small matter. I don’t care about personal gains and losses, what do you care about?”
Harrison Clark was reluctantly convinced by her words at the time.
In order to be true to the woman, he had gone against his own determination to do everything he could – this was essentially selfish.
Others also stood up to persuade him, even including Carrie Thomas, who was far away in the United States.
So, despite being uncomfortable, he eventually accepted the “antics” of Avril Green and Carrie Thomas.
The diary detailed the whole story.
Actually, before he left Boston to return to Oxfordshire and lay his cards on the table with everyone, the matter had already been brewing, and everyone was aware of it.
Those who had once asked Avril Green to pass on messages started to move, employing various means to shake Harrison Clark’s career from all angles, ’ much to everyone’s resentment and helplessness.
The opponents had an aggressive offensive; it erupted one after another within a few days, each wave higher and more powerful than the last.
But before Harrison Clark went to Boston, he said he wanted a break, not to be bothered with any major issues. Julia Lambert reluctantly thought they could hold on for a while, and kept it to herself.
She felt helpless, anxious, and angry.
Harrison Clark had big ambitions; he couldn’t and shouldn’t be trapped in such a disgusting situation.
At the time, everyone didn’t know he had already prepared for a 3-5 years Hibernation, and they were very worried.
In normal circumstances, Harrison would be a tenacious person.
Avril Green was previously worried that Harrison’s character was too tough, and that it would eventually escalate until everything was ruined. In that case, the damage would not be limited to him alone but could affect the entire country and even humankind.
After all, what he was preparing for the Summit Research Institute to do was extremely important, a foundation of a thousand years.
Everyone else knew about this, including Carrie Thomas.
No one wanted to see such a situation arise.
Carrie Thomas was also worried, and she participated in the company’s high- level emergency meeting.
But Carrie Thomas was just an ordinary person who knew nothing about such high-end despicable tactics, and was powerless to intervene.
At first, it was Chris Owen who stood up and tried to use his prestige to solve the problem, but the more he tried, the more frightened he became.
The opponent was determined, and the Whale Group had to protect itself and prepare to protect the Summit Research Institute from any impact – this was also very difficult.
Rainer said, if worse comes to worst, I’ll take Harrison abroad.
Chris Owen and Julia Lambert both stopped him from going through with this bad idea.
Carrie Thomas analyzed Harrison’s character again and thought that he might not be impulsive or give in. He would stay put and focus on his own work, regardless of the storm outside.
However, this was only a possibility and not absolute. Even so, losses were inevitable.
Ward Owen suggested calling his master back as a last resort.
Julia Lambert was tempted.
Carrie Thomas opposed, saying it was only a matter of a few more days. They could hold off for a while without causing any lasting harm and let him rest.
Ward Owen suggested asking Avril Green for help again.
As everyone hesitated, Avril Green arrived uninvited.
But she had her own concerns; the issue involved too many organizations and forces, and even with her family’s help, it was not easily resolved.
After the small-scale meeting, Carrie Thomas and Avril Green privately discussed together.
Avril Green taught Carrie Thomas some truths she might never have learned otherwise.
To thoroughly deter part of the covetous forces, they must, and could only, lean toward another force that would make the opponent think twice before acting.
And since the interests were too large, the degree of closeness couldn’t be too shallow. Simply having dinner together, pretending to have a relationship, wasn’t enough.
Even openly engaging in intimate interaction and becoming an official couple wasn’t enough.
There was only one solution: to let Harrison Clark and Avril Green enter into a formal marriage contract, indicating Harrison’s alignment with the force represented by The Greens, fighting poison with poison, and suppressing violence with violence.
In ordinary families, a marriage contract might just be a piece of paper, not a big deal.
But in a family like Avril Green’s, it represented an unbreakably strong alliance. Harrison Clark was indeed a good match: young, promising, influential, and coming from a clean background. Moreover, the two were “mutually attracted to each other,” so there was no reason not to do it.
The Greens held back before only because Avril Green stopped them; if Harrison would take the initiative to join, it would be even better.
Who would refuse a talent with a net worth of billions and who held the core technology of Summit Research Institute in both arts and academics?
In that case, someone from The Greens would stand up for Harrison Clark.
Once the flower had an owner, others would have to think twice before coveting
But Avril Green deceived her own family too.
The marriage contract was fake and just a temporary measure.
Avril Green wouldn’t let anyone in her family take Harrison’s shares, but practiced delay tactics and dragged on for five years.
After five years, as long as the Summit Research Institute achieved a result, and
Harrison opened up another country’s situation, he would undoubtedly have already overcome countless obstacles, and no one would easily suppress him again.
If it still didn’t work out, they could pretend to get married.
This plan was foolproof, both attack and defense.
It was Avril Green who proposed it, and Carrie Thomas initially objected.
In this situation, she wasn’t worried about Avril Green stealing her man but felt that it was unfair to Avril Green.
However, there seemed to be no better solution.
Both of them were indecisive, and the matter was temporarily stalled.Both of them knew that with Harrison’s character, he would definitely refuse the idea so they didn’ t dare to tell him.
But on the night when Harrison revealed the truth, he felt justified, and was relieved.
However, the mental pressure on Avril and Carrie instantly skyrocketed.
Is this what you were chasing after?
Is this your true face?
Compared to you, our thoughts on personal gains and losses are so insignificant and laughable.
As a result, the two finally came to an agreement.
Just do it, deceive him!
The situation eventually turned into what Harrison saw now.
In order to make it more convincing, Summit Ventures completed a cash acquisition of Coastline Studio and announced the engagement at the same time. Avril herself became a Summit artist directly.
Julia Lambert handled this matter herself, secretly keeping it from Harrison while he was asleep.
Seeing this, Harrison could only sigh; it was impossible to guard against a thief in one’s own home.
Five years later, at the age of 26, Avril revealed the truth, stirring up waves again and fatefully breaking away from her family once more.
Harrison just shook his head.
From the historical perspective, he could roughly imagine how Avril communicated with others.
But was she really as pure-minded as she claimed to be?
Impossible.
She was a human, not a machine.
She did indeed enjoy the false engagement for those five years.
Her joyful smile at the press conference was seen as real in some people’s eyes false in the eyes of those in the know, but in Harrison’s eyes, it was still real.
She was born noble, but she made herself so humble in love.
But this seemed to be an inevitable part of history.
Harrison knew he had changed her, allowing her to break free from her selfimposed limitations, gradually showing her true self and no longer hiding behind the reserved looks of a well-brought-up lady.
When she started to break free and transform, some things that should never have happened were bound to happen.
She broke the shackles, followed her heart, and impulsiveness gradually spiraled out of control, leading her to actions that fit her logical behavior.
Harrison could predict the timeline with Star, knowing he would face obstacles
and preparing himself, but he did not anticipate Avril’s impulsive actions again.
Harrison lamented, “I can understand history, I can understand civilization, but I still can’t understand a woman’s heart.”
At the end of Avril’s diary, she wrote these words:
It seemed like she was talking to herself, but also intended for Harrison, thousands of years later.
I cannot stand by and watch the times waste your talents and hold you back.
You are very smart, but you have never really dealt with politics before, you
don’t know that there’s a lot of things involved. It’s not as simple as it looks on the surface.”
“I know you don’t like to see me like this, but you should also know this is my choice. As a friend, as a trusted partner, I have to do something for you.” “I can’t watch you work so hard, but still have to carry on with such a heavy burden. This is not the weight you should bear. You just need to know that we’ll always stand by your side.”
“I have no regrets.”
With just the four words “I have no regrets,” she conveyed a thousand words and emotions.
Harrison didn’t need to imagine; he could just look at history to know what she went through after revealing the truth.
She went from a noble-born woman to the pitiable person being rejected outright after unilaterally announcing the engagement in many people’s mouths.
Other than breaking away from her family, she also endured a long time of criticism and ridicule from others.
But she never complained, only quietly doing her own thing, and two years later, at the age of 29, released a new original album titled “The Invincible War God.”
This explosive rock album, featuring classic passionate tracks like “The
Invincible War God,” “Gentle Breeze,” “Dawning Glimmer,” and “Lone Giant,”
is regarded as a collection of divine works, setting the stage for the magical yet grandiose new rock style of the Starry Skies.
She expressed everything through her lyrics.
What does temporary fame matter?
What does the ridicule of others matter?
I only want those who understand me to understand me
I only want those who care about me to believe in me
I just want my life to be without regrets
Live up to my ideals
Live up to my bonds
Great people should have great lives
Great lives will never sink into the mud
I’ll send a song for my comrades
In this life
I’ve lived in vain after all
With the album “The Invincible War God,” Avril’s status was thoroughly reversed. Although many people still couldn’t understand the story behind her lyrics, no one laughed at her anymore.
That’s because everyone could feel the soaring fighting spirit burning like a raging flame from her singing.
The quality of her work overcame everything.
It was truly postmodern rock that could inspire a generation.
