Lexie York’s eyes twitched slightly after hearing Vince York being referred to as filth.“As you said, we know how the world works, Sir York.“The things you do are naturally justified.“Vince is at fault for going against you in the first place. I’ll go back and teach him a lesson, and I’ll even get him to apologize at your doorstep.“But, in return, I do hope you show your sincerity.“This way, we’ll be able to bury the hatchet. Both of you get what you want, no?“After all, both of you are top talents of the younger generation on par in almost every single thing. If you two really went against each other, only others will benefit from the situation.”Harvey lightly chuckled.“Show my sincerity?“Let’s not go too far back, just yesterday. I’m sure you know what happened back in the Budokan.“Don’t you know that Scarlett Leithold came to assassinate me with her group of people in the middle of the night?“You say you want to bury the hatchet, but you’ve only been trying to
“I believe that someone working for Vince York was the one who did it. I’ll investigate this matter and give you a statement about it.”Harvey York calmly smiled without giving a reply.Lexie York looked at Harvey. The fierce look on her face was gone, completely replaced with care and affection.“Sir York, I know you won’t believe anything I say.“But, I still want to ask something from you. Tell Selena Judd that you’ll retract the deal.“Vince can still be her good son.“If we all turn a blind eye, all of us can survive these harsh times.”Harvey burst out laughing.“Are you a little too confident in your charm, or do you think I’m some sort of pervert who’s never seen a woman?“You think you can convince me just by spraying some perfume and taking me out to look at the scenery?“If you want something, you’d at least need to make some sacrifices for it, right?“You must be delusional if you think you can get whatever you want without any losses!”Lexie showed a pitiful lo
“You…”Harvey York’s words had utterly made Lexie York feel sluggish.She did not expect that the perfect successor of the Yorks, in her eyes, was nothing to Harvey.Lexie tried to calm herself down after taking a deep breath.There was no way back after all that had already happened.She looked at Harvey with a tender look in her eyes.“Sir York, the things you said did happen.“But, you of all people should know that men of great ambition are not concerned by trivial matters.“Vince York only did all this because he had no choice.“If he takes the position as the new head of the family, I’m sure he’ll definitely protect the citizens of the southeast waters in Country H’s stead!“If he didn’t have such ambition and patriotism, why would I, the lady of the Dragon Palace, even help him in the first place?“If you don’t believe Vince or me, you should at least put your trust in the Dragon Palace, right?“This is the pillar of Country H that deals with outside forces. The one
Harvey York squinted at the disappearing convoy before glancing back at Lexie York.“You’ve been putting up a show this whole time just to let Lady Judd see this?” he coldly exclaimed.“What? Now the show’s over, but you still intend to lock me in with you?“You’re not scared of me slapping you to death?”Harvey sized up the woman in front of her.He only wanted to get in the car in the first place to play tricks on Lexie, causing chaos and disarray for Vince.Lexie had the same plan in mind. She wanted the weak alliance between Harvey and Selena Judd to crumble.Safe to say that this woman was quite intriguing after all. It was enough to prove her intelligence in coming up with such tactics.It was a shame that those so-called tactics were nothing more than a farce for Harvey.“Selena’s already gone, and you can’t catch up to her. Besides, it’s raining outside. Are you not afraid of getting a cold, Sir York?”Lexie sat back in her seat. The tender look on her face completely
“Where’s your proof?”Harvey York was indifferent.“You wouldn’t think that this is proof of us having an affair just because I got inside your car, right?“Your fourth brother is the head of the Yorks, after all! Do you think he’s really that naive?”“He’ll believe it for sure.”Lexie York showed a faint smile.“I know he hates me to the core, but he cares about the family’s reputation the most.“If I cry in front of him about an ignorant man trying to taint me and force Selena Judd to take the fall!“Even with just a bit of proof, I’m sure he’ll definitely come for you!“And Sir York, you should believe that it’s not hard at all for me to fabricate some proof!“Either you kneel and beg me so you can become Vince York’s servant…“Or you die!”Harvey raised his hand and looked at his palm before shifting his gaze toward Lexie while showing a playful look on his face.“Lexie, do you know what it means to be too smart for your own good?“I know full well the kind of person
“You really are something, Sir York!”Lexie York’s expression worsened after seeing Harvey York snoop out every piece of equipment she had on her.She frowned while she squinted at Harvey.“No wonder even Vince York suffered losses against you,” exclaimed Lexie coldly.“Your intelligence, skill, and luck are outstanding. No ordinary person can even come close to you.“I keep provoking and annoying you, but you saw through everything without even losing your head.“I have to admit. We did underestimate you.“But this is a good thing. It’s only more fun if I crush a man as strong and capable as you.”Lexie stepped on the pedal and drove the car to Huancheng Expressway’s gateway before unlocking the doors.“Get out of here already!”Harvey opened the door before glancing over at Lexie.“Don’t you worry, Madam York,” he said playfully.“Since we’re already here, I won’t mind playing with you a bit longer.“That said, you’re getting pretty old now. I do hope you have some suppl
Harvey York calmly glanced at the driver before sitting in the back while reviewing the entire situation at hand.Everything that happened that day was planned out by Lexie York. This was quite startling to Harvey.It was good that Harvey also had plans of his own.Judging from how things turned out, Harvey was in a good spot for the time being.The slap, in the end, was not only for Harvey to vent his anger but also to give Selena Judd a clear statement.The slap meant that he and Vince York were completely incompatible.This also showed his resolve to put down Vince once and for all.That way, a woman obsessed with being pure like Selena would continue working with him.As for how this news would get to Selena, Harvey was not interested at all.He believed that Selena would definitely be on high alert as soon as she saw him and Lexie on the expressway.Maybe a few of her bodyguards were already keeping an eye on the place where he slapped Lexie.If Selena did not even have
Harvey York showed a faint smile.“I’ll be frank, Lady Judd. Other than the truth, you need two other things.”“What else do I need?!”Selena Judd clearly frowned on the other side of the phone.“Number one, you need full support from Lord York. You and I both know that the higher-ups of the family were involved in the incident ten years ago.“If you don’t have Lord York’s full support, it’ll be useless even if you did get to learn the truth! You might even die in vain because of it!“Number two, you need to prepare a substitute.“Once Vince York is brought down, someone needs to take over his place. That way, the Yorks won’t be in chaos after. You and Lord York will be able to manage the family better this way.“Both of you are still young. I believe that if you get another twenty years, you’ll have your own child all grown up to succeed you.”Harvey sneakily implied that Vince was the culprit of what happened ten years ago.Selena was dead silent for a long while on the oth
