“Who are you calling your mother-in-law?”“You really have no shame!”Kait glared fiercely at Harvey. However, she had to admit that her heavy heart felt a little lighter after Harvey’s teasing. She thought about his question, and sighed. “My mother was my father’s first wife, and she was also one of the high-level members of the branch of Longmen. After she and my father got married, they showed respect and affection for one another.”“But when I was eighteen, my father suddenly brought back a woman. She was Angelina John.”“My father said that Angelina was the daughter of the John family from Golden Sands, and has a distinguished status. Her status would help him greatly in his ambition to step up as the branch leader.”“So, he hoped that my mother would step aside and file for divorce.”“But my mother is a martial arts athlete, and she was a firm woman. How could she agree? Not only did she refuse, but she also slapped Angelina in retaliation.”“Then…”“That night, several
Harvey sent a message with his phone, and then unfastened Kait’s seatbelt.Kait was confused. “Harvey, what are you doing now?”“You’re driving too slow. Let me do it.”Harvey slid over to the driver’s seat through the armrest and sat right behind Kait.Kait curled up instinctively, snuggling into Harvey’s arms.They were so close that they could smell each other. Their position was very ambiguous.Kait blushed. This was the first time she was so close to a man.Harvey ignored her. Instead, he motioned Kait to go to the passenger seat. He then fastened the seatbelt.Vroom!The Ferrari 488 adjusted to sports mode, and the engine hummed. Then, it whizzed forward frantically.The Toyota Prados following behind noticed something. At that moment, they no longer concealed their intentions and speed toward Harvey and Kait with murderous fervor.Harvey remained calm and casual. He turned on the phone navigation and glanced at the map on display. He quickly turned the steering wheel,
Harvey looked at this scene indifferently. After seeing the car being fully inundated by the sea, he started the Ferrari again and drove on the main road.It took a long time for Kait to react. “Harvey, they’ll die!”There was no rain or storm at this moment, there was a famous danger zone in front of him. Once the cars entered the sea, the chance of survival was zero.Harvey was unfazed. He said indifferently, “Kait, you’re not a three-year-old kid anymore. You should understand.”“If they stopped our car just now, the person who died will most likely be me.”“They want to kill me. Can’t I resist?”“If you think I’m ruthless, you can leave at any time.”“You can also stick with me till the end and let Justin’s dream of becoming the branch leader come to nothing. You can make Angelina and Lucas pay the price for their actions, which is also considered as getting justice for your mother.”Harvey looked indifferent.He used Kait to approach Justin. His main purpose was indeed th
Kait looked at the opened door of the No 1. Villa in front of her, surprised. “Harvey, are you really close with Master Lynch?”“A little. He gave me this villa.”“Do you have more confidence in your poor boyfriend now?”Harvey found a guest room for Kait to stay in, and proceeded to take a shower.He had been busy all day today, and was a little tired. Taking a hot bath was the best way to eliminate fatigue.While Harvey was in the shower, Kait went around the entire villa.She was surprised to find out that Harvey truly lived here. Judging from the mess in the villa, he had no intention of cherishing it. Some of the priceless decorations and furniture were damaged by him.From what it seemed, this place truly belonged to him. A mere guest would be too frightened to damage such expensive items. Ding!His phone in the living room rang. Kait answered it. “Hello, who is this?”The person on the other side of the phone was slightly taken aback, and then asked, “Who are you?”K
“I’m sorry if I interrupted anything earlier, CEO York.”Yvonne’s voice was calm, but for some reason, Harvey could sense that she was in a sour mood.‘But it’s not right. Yvonne’s my secretary. There’s nothing between us.’Harvey looked helpless. After a while, he sighed. “Yvonne, it’s not what you think. Something really happened.”“This girl is Kait Walker. She’s the daughter of the Walker family. I went out with her in the afternoon. Something happened…”“She said that she’s your girlfriend. How could it be all right?” Yvonne said with a half-smile.“I’m not very bright, but please don’t lie to me, CEO York.”Harvey sighed again. “That’s enough, Yvonne. Cut it out.”“My purpose of approaching her is mainly for the Longmen’s Mordu branch. She is Justin Walker’s daughter. I’ll start with her and see if there is a chance to resolve this matter peacefully.”“Since I used her and she got into trouble, I helped her.”Harvey told Yvonne the whole story of how he met Kait.Yvon
Winter was coming. The north wind howled throughout Mordu.In a seaside villa area, a fire was burning within an old building.“Come, come, come, Prince. You can try my newly unsealed fifty-year-old Maotai!”“We, the great Country H, have enjoyed beer and wine in the past few years. Winter is coming, and liquor can warm the body.”In the Walker Mansion, all the furniture in the previously chaotic hall had been replaced with brand new ones.One person was seated at each end of the rectangular dining table.Angelina, whose face was a little red and swollen, sat at one end. A young man in a woolen suit sat at the other end.Angelina’s temper was not as terrible as it was when she faced Harvey. At this moment, her temperament was very refined and sophisticated. She exuded the elegance tempered by all her time in the elite circles. Other than the unsealed Maotai, all kinds of exquisite food were present on the table. They were prepared by the Michelin chef.“Prince, you just got o
Lucas smiled. “Auntie, don’t worry.”“My relationship with Kait won’t change because of such a small thing.”“You have to trust me. Kait is not only your daughter, but she is also my fiancée.”“Naturally, I will treat her with great love and care.He snapped his finger lightly after speaking.A woman in a red dress, standing in the distance, came up and bowed.“Macy, give them a call.”“Tell them to bring Kait back.”Macy Howard nodded and then took a few steps back. She dialed her phone, her face blank and indifferent expression.Then, her face grew odd. She quickly dialed another number.Then a third, a fourth…Ten calls were made in succession, but they were all either shut down or the lines were busy.Macy could not remain indifferent anymore. She quickly approached Lucas and whispered in a low voice, “Prince, the call can’t get through. Something’s wrong.”Lucas looked indifferent. He saw Angelina’s puzzled eyes and said, “Locate them and let others go support them.”
Macy said solemnly, “Prince, I didn’t mean to ruin your mood.”“But I have to. This is very important!”Lucas’ voice was cold. He said slowly , “Say it!”Macy hurriedly went near his ears and quickly whispered the news to him in a low voice.Lucas’ face, which was originally calm, was replaced by unconcealed anxiety after listening to Macy’s words.“Lady Angelina, please don’t worry. I’ll let Kait come back safely before dawn.”Lucas regained his composure quickly and stood up.“I’m very happy to meet you today, but I still have some things to deal with.”“Let’s have another good meal together tomorrow.”“I’ll treat you at that time.”No matter the emergency, Lucas could always maintain his calm and sophisticated demeanor.“Okay, you should go.”Angelina’s eyes flickered slightly. She did not force Lucas to stay. Instead, she smiled and said, “Kait is very naïve. Since she’s still quite young, please bear with her.”Angelina assumed that Lucas’s men, sent to take Harvey an
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
With an icy demeanor, Vaida said slowly to Coco, "What if I say no?""No?" Coco looked at Vaida as if she didn't know what was good for her. "What right do you have to say no? If you know what's good for you, you'll sell me Port View Restaurant cheap right now! Once my brother takes over, this place will ultimately become mine! Stop treating yourself like you're the owner here."Even the Belladonna Cult thinks you're just a madwoman, and that they should support my brother fully. Who do you think you are now? If it weren't for your father's reputation, everything the Belladonna Cult owned would have been confiscated by the city a long time ago! You’re just a schizophrenic woman… Do you really think you're anyone important?"I'll give you three seconds to get the hell out of the Supreme Chamber! Otherwise, I'm going to teach you a lesson!""I dare you to say that again," Vaida hissed.Her eyes turned even colder."A long time ago, Dan was the one begging my father, kneeling in fr
“However, if it's discovered that you have taken even a single cent from Port View Restaurant… I'm sorry, but I’ll have no choice but to send you to jail.”Vaida extended her finger and slowly mimicked slitting her throat.Upon hearing these words, Tina began to shudder, her face as pale as a sheet.Harvey gave an approving nod. Vaida was efficient and also dealt a powerful emotional blow. She stood on moral high ground, what she did was enough to infuriate Coco. All this while, the Parkers had treated Port View Restaurant as their asset. Coco might even be one of those who embezzled funds from the restaurant. If Vaida sent Tina to prison, this would indeed be very interesting.Tina's face was pale at that moment. She instinctively looked at Coco, trembling as she begged, "Princess Coco…"It was obvious that she believed only Coco could save her now. Coco furrowed her brows, and her expression darkened. She stared coldly at Vaida."No need to audit the accounts. I can tell y
"According to the rules, this place won't have anything to do with you anymore in the future!" Coco said confidently in front of everyone, wanting to shame Vaida publicly.Vaida spat icily, "According to the agreement, only when I can't find my man of destiny within the appointed time will all the Belladonna Cult's assets go to Dan. Unfortunately for you, I have already found him. From that moment onward, everything the cult owns has nothing to do with Dan anymore. Do you understand? But of course, if you think this place doesn't belong to me…"You can call the Seven Families Joint Meeting, and we can discuss this at length. Let's see who owns the Belladonna Cult's assets."Coco's expression turned a little colder after hearing that. However, she retrained her emotions and smiled brilliantly. She knew very well according to Grand City's rules, since Vaida managed to find her man of destiny, Dan would never be able to take over the Belladonna Cult's properties.But what if her man
"Vaida, Grand City is now governed by laws. It's not right to start hitting people here, isn't it?"Just as Tina was about to crawl away, the clacking of high heels came from the entrance. A faint scent of perfume wafted through the air with a somewhat seductive tang.Harvey instinctively looked at the entrance. Elegantly dressed men and women walked in, chatting and laughing. A gorgeous woman in her twenties led the entourage.Not only were her facial features exquisite, but she also had quite a curvaceous physique. There was an air of superiority surrounding her, as if she could easily overshadow everyone else. She was wearing the most fashionable black dress, showcasing her long legs and demonstrating her perfect curves.While this woman wasn't very mature, she was full of charm and allure. To use a more modern term, she was obviously quite the player and skilled at charming men. She was none other than Coco Parker, princess of Parkerville.The moment Tina saw that woman, she
Vaida's slap was direct and ruthless, carrying an indescribable force. In one hit, Tina was instantly struck into a daze as she stumbled unsteadily. A scarlet handprint instantly appeared on her face; she looked disheveled.Tina looked at Vaida in disbelief, her voice trembling. "You hit me? Grand City is a society of law, and you hit me?" Tina couldn't understand why Vaida would hit her at this point. She was just a schizophrenic woman, and she was at the edge of losing control of Belladonna. What made her think she could still act so boldly? Who did Vaida think she was?It was obvious that deep down, Tina had no respect whatsoever for Vaida. In her mind, she could scare Vaida away by just using Coco's name. Coco was the number one princess in Grand City. Meanwhile, Vaida was just a madwoman… What right did Vaida think she had to cross Coco?Tina never expected Vaida to have no fear of Coco. Vaida even slapped her so hard that she almost dropped to the ground.Tina bit her lip
"I also think it's inappropriate to make such a request, but I have no choice. The VIP wants this private room. This is the Supreme Chamber, which represents one's status," Tina said as she narrowed her eyes at Alexei, mockery evident in her gaze."As you know, the Port View Restaurant believes that customers are gods. Now that our gods are here, of course we must accommodate their minor request. Princess Vaida, Mr. Alexei, you're both smart people. You understand that it's not easy for us, either. Can you please move quickly? We still need to clean up this room. If the VIP finds this room dirty, it might be difficult for us to handle.Tina's words right now were pure humiliation, the ones that could make men go berserk. Alexei's expression instantly turned dark.Port View Restaurant was owned by Belladonna Cult. Vaida was the scion of the Belladonna Cult. In other words, this was her turf. It was outrageous for her to be asked to leave when she was halfway through a meal, especia
