“Vice President, no. Please don’t…”Ella Graves has always had a simple life. She had never encountered such a wretched human being like this her entire life. At this moment, she unconsciously struggled against Yulian’s grasp. But against his strong grip, her whole body froze. She was powerless.Yulian had shown his true colors. He shoved Ella against the floor, not even caring if Ella screamed and started pulling on her slender legs.“No! Vice President, please. Let me go! I won’t do it ever again!” Ella was struggling with tears trickling down her face.A shame that Yulian had already picked an office space for her since the beginning. The one that was isolated from everywhere else. Nobody could even hear her even if she screamed on top of her lungs.Yulian laughed maniacally. He held down a leg with one of his hands, reached for his small blue tablet and popped it in his mouth with the other. Without the tablet, he would not have the strength to proceed despite his raging des
For a time, Ella Graves did not know if she should be grateful or despise Harvey York. She stared at him with confusion in her eyes. A goddess that had been obsessed over the medical field for her whole life was baffled for the first time. Her heart that did not know what to do because of this man. But under those circumstances, Ella seemingly looked more charming and enchanting people’s hearts.“You dare hit me?! Do you not know that you’re standing on my turf right now?!” Yulian was seething with rage, any sort of reasoning had been thrown out the window. “I don’t care whoever you are, get out now or I’ll make you wish you were dead later!”Harvey smiled and walked toward Yulian. He immediately grabbed Yulian’s neck, and raised him slightly above ground.“What… What do you think you’re doing?! Let me go! Let me go!” Yulian being choked seemed to have his blood rushing to his head, calming him down. Yulian at this moment could not hold in his loud and frantic screams.Ella Gra
The office door was slightly opened and the sound from inside the office echoed out. The medical staff that saw what happened hastily called for security and rushed toward the scene. “What’s going on? What are you doing? Let go of the Vice President!” Taylor Stone hurried to the office with backup.Yulian saw Taylor and immediately leaked out a sinister smile with a face that had swollen like a pig. He kept struggling and acted pompously toward Harvey York.“You’re finished!”Immediately after, Yulian screamed at Taylor.“Quick! Grab him! Crush him and get him out of here!”“You again?!”Taylor realized that this was the man that kicked him down to the floor. He walked ferociously toward him, ready to throw hands. “You punk. Don’t you know who I am? I’m Liam Stone’s blood brother. How dare you show off in front of me?! I’ll kill you right now!” Taylor shut the door behind him and took out a fruit knife that was sheathed under his arms with a face full of violence.Harvey
Thinking about that, Taylor Stone bowed to Harvey York respectfully. He then said, “Sir, please do enjoy yourself here.” “Why don’t you get lost now?” Harvey said lightly. Bang!Taylor retreated immediately, he then closed the door behind him on his way out. Yulian screamed loudly. “Taylor, are you blind? Didn’t you see that I’ve been beaten up by somebody? Are you going to do it or not?” At that moment, Taylor was in no mood to bother about him. His brother, Liam Stone had been defeated. ‘I’d better hurry up and run away. If not, I’ll be ruined too.’ At that moment, Harvey’s phone rang. He then threw Yulian down on the floor casually. After that, he answered the phone. “Harv… Harvey… I was stuck in traffic just now. Where are you? Is my grandpa okay?” It was a call from Rosalie Naiswell. She was indeed quite late. Harvey glanced at Yulian who was lying on the floor. He was in a very bad mood. He then said in annoyance, “I’m in Dr. Graves’s office. Your grandpa’s sur
“My name is Harvey York.” Harvey smiled slightly and introduced himself simply. Ella Graves did not think much about that. She then said softly, “Mr. York, you better leave immediately. Yulian is the vice president of the hospital. Sometimes, he could even marginalize the president secretly though he appears to respect him before the others. There’s some kind of big shot on his side. Besides, he knows a lot of wealthy and influential people. Even if you’re rich, you can’t afford to offend them.” Having said those things, Ella was worried inside. ‘For my sake today, Harvey got himself in trouble. His elder is still here, being hospitalized. It’s certainly impossible to resolve this matter in a good way.’ Besides, she would not be able to work in that hospital in the future. It was fine, because she was not worried about not finding a job but, she was worried about the patients there. “Don’t worry. It’s not a big deal. I’m able to resolve it.” Harvey smiled and consoled Ella. E
Harvey York said lightly, “Rosalie knows very well what happened before. Dr. Graves, just tell him what happened just now. I know you’ll feel quite embarrassed. But you need to be brave for your patients too…”Ella Graves’ small body trembled slightly. She was indeed slightly shy. No woman would be able to describe such a thing without any tinge of embarrassment. But what Harvey said was right. She needed to be brave even if it was for the sake of her patients. Soon, she described what happened in detail after Harvey came to the hospital. As she was relaying the incident, she had such a fear after the incident had happened. Learning that Senior Naiswell’s surgery was nearly interrupted and stopped because of Yulian, Zeno Naiswell was filled with cold sweat. His face turned pale. Until the end, his facial expression worsened. Yulian was the person who was being promoted by him. Besides, he even had the intention to groom him as the next president of the hospital. It never occurred
In the VIP ward. At that moment, Shane Naiswell had woken up, and now he could sit in bed. Rosalie Naiswell was an extremely charming girl who could bewitch literally anyone. Now, she was sitting beside Shane, chatting with him like a little girl. “Rose, I’ve thought about it just now. Although this incident happened because of Harvey, it’s not entirely his fault. If I didn’t believe in others easily and went to Liam’s territory, I wouldn't be held as a hostage there. After all, I brought it upon myself. Don’t blame him.”“On the contrary, it was Harvey who saved us both. He even sent me to the hospital for treatment. Besides, I heard that he offended quite a lot of people because of me. I indeed owed him big this time around. You must remember that.” Shane said in resignation. At first, he had a slight intention to test Harvey York but there was no such need now. From that incident, he could see that Harvey was indeed quite outstanding in terms of his conduct, capabilities an
“Well done!” Upon hearing that, Shane Naiswell appeared satisfied. There were some things which he could not do given his status. Now, his junior was quite sensible in doing things, and he was very satisfied too. On the other hand, Zeno Naiswell looked at Harvey York thankfully. There were things which were unsuitable for him to say. But having Harvey said them brought a different meaning. It could be said that Harvey indeed understood how to behave well and survive in the society. At that moment, Rosalie Naiswell spoke up all of a sudden and she said softly, “Grandpa, there might be a lot of people who may catch wind of our news here since this is a property that belongs to the Naiswells. If we’re not being careful, the news might be spread to the Naiswells. Why don’t we change to another place?” After she said that, she felt rather worried and uneasy. She did not know why but she was reluctant to see Harvey standing with Ella Graves. But Shane had not thought so much. After
"Or maybe you're thinking that after working a little bit harder for a while, you'll be able to leave the country and live under the radar. Then, you can go to Country A and live the life you want? Your parents have already been sent over, right?"No matter what happens, Dan treats those who work for him well. But… There's something I don't understand. You're willing to leave your home permanently just because he treats you well? You're willing to give him your undying loyalty just like that? Is it worth it?" Harvey asked as he put his cup of latte down on the table with a curious expression.The ordinary young woman shuddered slightly before raising her head. She gave Harvey a look and said, "Are you talking to me, sir? Do we know each other?"Harvey smiled. "We don't, but I'm pretty sure you know me. Or should I say… It's exactly because you know me that you went to Country A and persuaded Royce to come to Wolsing. Whether it's the 150 million dollars given to Lilian or lying to X
The next day…What happened to Geraldton Hotel was being reported on the news. It was about how an underground criminal empire in Wolsing was being swept by the authorities. Harvey didn't expect things to go so out of hand. At the same time, he now knew that no matter what the Yates of Country A wanted to do, they wouldn't be able to make any moves in the short term after what happened.There was another rumor that Kyros alone had borne the brunt of the crimes for the Wright family. The Wrights of Wolsing had removed his name from the family and that was enough to settle things. They were also not part of the media report.It was easy for one to see that a compromise had been reached by all the factions involved. Otherwise, if the Wrights of Wolsing really wanted to get involved, no one could estimate how this would develop.Just as Harvey was reading the news, his phone buzzed. Yvonne's stern voice came from the other side. "Sir, I've managed to investigate everything clearly.
Just as Harvey was thinking about who was behind this, his phone suddenly started to buzz. He picked it up—there was only one message."Interesting," Harvey said with a deep smile as he read it. "It's George. After his investigation, the one leading the task force has a really clean background. However, when he was at university, he was fully sponsored by a charity fund belonging to the Jeans of Mordu."After his graduation, the speed he gets promoted is also much faster than his peers around the same age. No matter how I looked at it, someone had been giving him a boost. However, is this the result of Mandy going over to Purdue Mountain? It doesn't look like Zayden, as the patriarch of one of the top ten families, wants to calm things down…"Feels like he wants to make things even worse. How is this going to benefit the Jeans of Mordu?"Yvonne narrowed her eyes slightly. "At the very least," she said, "there are two ways they can benefit from this. Firstly, it's to clarify their
The next day.The estate in the third ring of Wolsing.Harvey had originally planned to go to Mordu at night when Mandy called him. She told him everything that happened in Geraldton Hotel had been settled. Zayden's side would make a move and demand a direct explanation from them for what happened.Harvey was quite shocked when he heard this.The leader of the Jeans of Mordu had been too discreet, so much so that this was the first time he heard about this name. But the problem was, Harvey didn't believe that the Jeans of Mordu who had been making things difficult for Mandy all this while would suddenly make a move without cause.However, Mandy kept on telling Harvey that everything was over. She would keep Xynthia in Mordu for a few more days. Once the dust had settled, she would then send Xynthia back to Wolsing.Hearing Mandy so confident with herself, Harvey decided not to say anything else. That being said, he still her Mandy that if anything happened, she must tell him imme
"In other words, you don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it," Zayden said. "As for the Ninth Branch, that's the fruit of your labor. At least, I don't see anyone has the right to replace you as the head. Unless you have made a very serious mistake, your status as the head of the Ninth Branch is guaranteed. Remember, never say something like giving up your spot as the head ever again."Top families like the Jeans of Mordu have their own rules. There are certain positions that can't be taken just because you wanted to, and there are those that you can't leave just as easily as well."Mandy was stunned after she heard Zayden's criticism of her. Then, she nodded. "Understood. Thank you for your lesson, sir. I will do everything I can in the service of the family."Mandy wasn't that surprised to see that Zayden was willing to make a personal appearance. Since Kyros didn't show any respect to the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden needed to make a show of force once things reached thi
After about half an hour, Mandy finally saw figures appearing at the entrance. She grew a little uneasy. She put down the phone that she was using to work, and stood up."Ms. Mandy, Mr. Zayden is now ready to see you." Ms. Judd smiled and signaled Mandy to come with her. The estate might look quite small, but in actual fact, the entire land surrounding it was considered part of the estate. Without someone leading the way, no one could find their destination.Very quickly, Ms. Judd took Mandy to the Storm Pavilion in the garden. This place was quite warm, and it made Mandy feel quite relaxed. In the middle of the pavilion was a table with several plated snacks. They were all things that could be found in the countryside, like peanuts and carrots. Other than that, there was a bowl of barley.A man around fifty years of age was just getting ready to eat when he raised his head and smiled at Mandy. "Why are you here, Mandy? Aren't you supposed to be in Wolsing handling the Ninth Bra
Purdue Mountain, Mordu.A brand new Mercedes-Maybach drove into an ancient estate on the hill of the mountain. As it was close to the ocean and the temperature quickly dropped during the fall season, other than some coldness from late autumn, the estate also carried a certain frigidity.Mandy got out of the car wearing a thin jacket, looking at the ancient structures within the estate. Some of them were centuries old, and no one could tell how long they had existed. However, the buildings looked like they were newly constructed. The Jeans of Mordu would renovate and repair the buildings once every three months, as well as install the newest technology.Just that alone was evidence of how important this place was for the Jeans of Mordu. The truth was that this was the residence of the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden. He had been extremely discreet these past years.Normally, the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu would stay here. All his words and actions would decide the ent
"You…" Royce gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap Harvey. However, he knew that Harvey did this intentionally to take revenge against them, giving him a so-called choice. Harvey did it to completely humiliate both him and Kyros.Harvey also wanted to use this matter to create a crack in the Wright of Wolsing and the Yates of Country A's relationship during their honeymoon period. The problem was, Royce didn't have a choice. If Harvey truly decided to do whatever he wanted, then both he and Kyros would be in deep trouble.Royce gritted his teeth for a long time before finally slowly bending his knee and said, "I'm sorry…"Harvey immediately raised his foot and kicked Royce to the floor. "I know you're not sincere in your apologies, but I'll still accept it with mercy. But remember—if you want to do something in the future, do it for me. If you do anything to the people close to me again, even your gods can't protect you."And then, Harvey grabbed Xynthia's hand and left. H
As the leader of the top ten families, the Wrights of Wolsing had their own duties and responsibilities. They needed to maintain the high and mighty image of the top families in the hearts of the commoners.Once this was fully exposed, perhaps the people from the precinct and Dragon Cell wouldn't take any action against the Wright family, but Emery might personally eliminate him in the name of justice to protect the family's reputation.Since Emery hadn't truly become the leader of the family yet, Sienna was still present to challenge him.If Harvey really decided to reveal this without a care, then Sienna would use this chance to make things worse for Emery. Especially during an inner struggle, a microscale change can sometimes cause a big enough change.Of course, the most important part of this was that Kyros worried this would really affect Emery's ascension. That was more important than Harvey's wanton actions.Even Royce's expression also became pale. It was true that he was
