After approximately ten minutes, a black Mercedes Benz S-class stopped there. After that, a man in a white suit got out of the car slowly. There were two bodyguards behind them. They seemed ferocious. At first glance, they seemed quite exceptional in fighting. The heir of the Brookes, Kane Brooke, was so daring to offend even York Enterprise just because he thought that Liam Stone was on his side. After Mandy Zimmer’s gathering that time around, the Brookes received a hard lesson from Liam. Now, they had suffered a slightly great loss. There was a saying which claimed that even a lean camel was bigger than a horse. Although the Brookes were quite miserable lately, they were still so much better than the ordinary people even after the repeated losses they suffered in the business field. Recently, a lot of bad things went wrong. Hence, Kane suffered quite a deep wrath. After he got a call from Jerry Zabel, he heard that the woman whom he had his eyes on, Shirley Ryan had been
Harvey York was slightly speechless. ‘What kind of perception is that? Could it be that Jerry Zabel is mentally ill?’ But before he could say anything, Kane Brooke had started to feel slightly impatient. He then took off his coat casually and threw it at a bodyguard beside him. He then said lightly, “Who’s that? I don’t care who you are. Get lost now. Don’t ruin my fun. If not, I’ll kill you later.” As he was saying that, he threw a glance at the bodyguard behind him. That bodyguard understood what he meant well. Hence, the bodyguard took out a stack of blue banknotes and threw them on the ground. For a lowly person like that, Kane had a lot of experience. He just had to threaten them slightly and gave them some money. Then, that person would know perfectly well what he should or should not say. That night, he went there to enjoy himself. He was in no mood to tackle a lowly person like that. Seeing that, Jerry was nervous inwardly. If Harvey took the money and left, he wou
Seeing that Mandy Zimmer had fallen asleep, Harvey York asked no more. He then moved his things to the study and spent his night there. The next day, when he woke up in the early morning, he got ready to prepare breakfast. But he soon heard Mandy, saying coldly, “From today onward, you don’t have to prepare breakfast for our family.” Harvey appeared helpless. He then sighed, “Darling, you’ve been overthinking about the incident last night. I’m just friends with Ella Graves.” Mandy peeked at him, and she had no intention to argue with him. She just appeared particularly cold and aloof. At first, she thought that the relationship between her and Harvey had changed slightly now. It was different from the past. She even imagined that they could act like a normal couple one day. Besides, she thought that she had indeed misunderstood about the incident at the hospital. She even prepared to express her gratitude. But unexpectedly, one single call and a photograph from the previous
Across from Dario Moore, there was a working desk. The president of the health centre looked at Dario from behind the working desk. Although he was scared inwardly, he could only do that no matter how frightened he was at that moment, when he thought about the benefits which he had gained. After all, if he offended Dario, he could still survive. But if he was being double-dealing after he promised to work for Tyson Woods, he might possibly suffer terribly at the end. “You know more than us about your younger sister’s condition. According to the state of things in the health centre now, we indeed have no way to help to perform a surgery on her. What about curing her?”“Besides, you occupy the only one single ward here for a long period of time, and you always fail to pay the hospitalization fees. To be frank, we’re quite helpless too. Now, a lot of the patients and their families have opinions about that. You’d better leave. As for the remaining hospitalization fees, just forget ab
“Dario Moore, if you work for me, I’ll find someone to cure your younger sister’s legs.” Harvey York did not say much nonsense. He stood up directly and stopped Tyson Woods. Dario looked at Harvey in disdain. He then said, “Do you think that I’ll believe you since you said so?” Harvey took out a name card which he had prepared earlier and threw it at Dario. He then said lightly, “This is Dr. Ella Graves’ name card. Give her a call. She’ll arrange for the surgery and the best ward for your sister. Don’t worry about the medical expenses. It’s all on me.” “How did you arrange this? Are you lying to me?” Dario was filled with disbelief. The doctor was the vice president of Niumhi Hospital, and she was a truly distinguished person. A person like that would never perform a surgery on a person if the surgery did not cost more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars. ‘How is this guy before me able to resolve such a big issue? Is he that capable?’ The most important thing was that Dar
Thinking of that, Zack Zimmer’s facial expression became extremely unpleasant. “No, I can’t let Mandy Zimmer have her way. What if she truly divorces him successfully? Then she’ll have the chance to compete for the post with me. No way! I must think of a resolution!” Zack frowned slightly.“That’s easy. You just tell Grandpa that it’s a critical time for us now given our cooperation with York Enterprise. We can’t afford to have any kinds of issues here in the Zimmers. Then you can ask Grandpa to prohibit them from having a divorce. That will do, isn’t it?” Quinn Zimmer said smugly. She felt that her idea was tremendously good. “That’s reasonable!” Zack breathed a sigh of relief. However, the way he looked at Quinn was slightly vigilant now. ‘It seems like this woman is not to be trifled with. I need to keep my guard up around her in the future.’ ***Harvey York did not see Mandy when he reached home. However, he saw Lilian Yates sitting in the living room with a solemn facial e
There was a blurry photograph on the phone. But it was indeed the photograph of Harvey York and Ella Graves when they were together that night, and it was snapped by someone else secretly. Harvey was helpless. He then thought about Zack Zimmer’s attitude that day, and he soon figured it out. It might be Zack who snapped that photograph and specially sent it to Mandy Zimmer. “What more do you have to say? The truth is here right before us. Do you still want to deny it?” Harvey kept quiet, and he did not have any intention to defend himself. Seeing that, Mandy was filled with despair at that moment. The reason she let Harvey take a look at the phone was to give him a chance to explain himself. But Harvey said nothing in the end. “Darling, it’s nothing like how you imagined it to be…” Harvey sighed and said. “Then what is it? Tell me!” Mandy said coldly. He treated Ella to a meal, and asked her to do him a favor in resolving the issue regarding Dario’s younger sister. But th
“You must not keep this kind of man with you. Daughter, as long as you divorce him, I’ll find a good and obedient son-in-law who is so much better than him!”“Besides, he might have gotten some kind of strange disease. What if you get it from him? It’s so frightening!” Lilian Yates patted her chest ceaselessly, and she appeared quite frightened as she thought about that. If there was indeed such a scandal, Senior Zimmer would certainly disown their entire family and kick them out of the Zimmers. “Try to think about it. Zack Zimmer is now worried about not having the chance to bring you down! If ever he knows of this incident, he’ll certainly have another excuse to find faults with you!“It’s not easy for you to gain such a status in the Zimmers now. You can’t ruin your future just because of a man who’s just a worthless piece of trash!”“Mom, stop talking!” Mandy Zimmer was quite vexed at that moment. At one point, she thought about how Ella Graves looked at Harvey York. At a
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
