Harvey opened the gift box instantly. There was supposed to be a framed calligraphy painting inside.Much to his shock, there was an old sword hiding behind the painting.Harvey froze when he laid eyes on the sword.“The Head Coach’s sword?”“Wasn’t this stolen?”“Why did it show up here?”When the Three Seasons Hotel was holding an auction, Murphy and the others used a lot of money to win this specific item.After that, it’s said that the sword got stolen after they left. Why did it show up here?Fabian’s face darkened in an instant.“We’ve been tricked, Sir York!”“Elijah didn’t put up the show just to get people to pity him! He was trying to steer our attention away so he could frame us for this!”“And since this is the Head Coach’s sword, it’s an extremely symbolic relic!”“After it was stolen, there were no leads regarding its whereabouts!”“If you didn’t realize this in time and the gift appears in Grandma York’s hands…”“There won’t be anything you can do to clear
Queenie watched his actions with great shock. Harvey casually rolled down the car window and waved his hand, letting the dust fly out.For others, the sword had significant meaning. It was a priceless artifact that could be treated as a family heirloom.But for Harvey, the sword meant nothing to him.He cast the sword aside after it broke in the middle of war, but someone managed to pick it back up and use it to frame him.What a joke.After seeing Harvey’s calm look, Queenie let out a sigh of relief. She knew full well that they had already won since the sword was destroyed.The two then looked calmly outside the window.Fabian stood in front of Murphy and the others.“What’s the meaning of this, Murphy?”“I told you! This is my car.”“You’re telling me you’re going to search my car? This is just disrespectful!”“When did you people have the right to go against me?!”Murphy grinned deviously as he watched Fabian’s frosty expression.“We’re both from here, Fabian. We can’t
Right when Fabian was about to give himself up…Harvey rolled down the car window and said, “We’re all good citizens here. We’ve been awarded for that too.”“Since the police are here to search us, we should just let them. We have a clear conscience, anyway.”“As good citizens, it’s only natural for us to cooperate with the police.”Fabian froze when he saw Harvey’s face from the window. He didn’t think that Harvey would be willing to be searched.But he trusted Harvey; he knew Harvey wouldn’t just do something like this for no reason. Thus, he nodded lightly and didn’t say another word.“But if you’re going to search us, I’ll have to warn you first.”“What statement will you give us if the so-called Head Coach’s sword isn’t here?”Harvey walked out of the car while crossing his arms with a calm expression.“After all, I’m the important guest of the Yorks of Hong Kong. I represent Lord York himself here.”“If you’re searching my car, that means that you’re searching Lord York
The Rolls Royce was torn apart in a matter of minutes.The excited looks on the inspectors’ faces turned into utter horror.The leading inspector then came back soon after.“Young Master Evans, we… We didn’t find anything!”Murphy’s face changed before he yelled, “Impossible!”He rushed forward and grabbed Harvey’s calligraphy painting.After scrounging around for a while, Murphy screamed at Harvey with all his might, “Where’s the sword?!”“Where is it?!”“We can’t lose it like this!”The Head Coach’s sword was just too important. There were still other uses to it after Murphy was done framing Harvey with it.If the sword was lost, Murphy wouldn’t be able to pay it off even with his life.“I told you. I know nothing about the sword, nor am I interested in it.”“Do you really think I’m hiding it with the calligraphy painting? What kind of joke are you trying to make here? Huh?”Harvey stared at Murphy, poker-faced.“I bought this at the antique store this morning. Do you t
“Stop right there, you b*stard!”Right as Harvey was about to walk on the red carpet inside, Lexie appeared in glamorous clothes.She brought a group of people with her to block Harvey’s path.“Let’s not talk about old grudges, Harvey.”“However, today’s Grandma York’s birthday.”“As a guest, forget being careful, you’re even causing so much trouble in our territory!”“People who know clearly understand you’re here for the banquet…”“But the people who don’t might think you’re just here to cause a big ruckus!”“I don’t care why and how you attain the right to be here today, nor do I care why you took action against the others.”“But since you don’t have any respect toward the family, we don’t need to show respect to you either!”“You’re blacklisted! Get out of here!”“The Yorks of Hong Kong don’t welcome you!”Lexie shot Harvey a scornful expression. Those from the head house and the second house who stood behind her glared icily at Harvey.These people didn’t care about r
Right just as a fight was about to break out, Queenie stepped forward with a smile on her face.“I’m afraid you won’t be able to stop him, Auntie.”“From now on, he’ll be the son-in-law of the family and become the new young lord.”Everyone froze in an instant. Nobody could come to their senses.“Son-in-law of the family?! The new young lord?!”Lexie’s eyes twitched frantically. The world around her started to warp.She never thought Marcel would even do something like this on the day of Grandma York’s birthday!Marcel even had a long talk with the head house about Vince’s succession the night before!The head house thought Marcel would give in if he was given enough benefits.But then…Vince and Elijah, whose faces were awful after what Harvey did to them before, felt an unspeakable sense of danger after hearing Queenie’s declaration.Julian, Quinton, Matthew, and the others froze. They stared at Harvey, their eyes filled with disbelief.Only Marcel remained expressionless
Harvey froze after he heard those words.The reason he had been staying in Hong Kong and Las Vegas for so long was so he could keep the citizens of Country H safe.That way, the dastardly ambitions of the Island Nations and The Empire would never come to fruition.This was justice. That was why Harvey had no guilt in his conscience and toward the citizens as a whole.But when Queenie told him Country H would be safer if he sat on the throne…Harvey was at a loss.Fate is a fickle mistress, after all!Queenie studied Harvey’s dumbfounded expression before narrowing her eyes at the higher-ups of the Yorks of Hong Kong, who were also at a loss.“The Yorks of Hong Kong had been waiting for a suitable successor for so many years,” she began with a small smile.“And you are the most qualified person to serve that role, Harvey.”Queenie then leaned towards Harvey and began to whisper in his ear. “If you think I’m not good enough for you…”“We can just turn the marriage into a sho
For a time, the situation was extremely tense.A glint of pride flashed in Cory’s eyes when he saw that his words were enough to shock the crowd.He gave a cold chuckle and waved his hand.“For the sake of your father, Grandma York, and the fact that you’re my junior…”“I’ll let you off the hook this time.”“I’m giving you ten seconds to get out of here!”“If you don’t, don’t blame me for killing you with my own two hands, even if we’re blood-related!”Cory waved his hand once more. The people from the head house instinctively stood up, prepared to move forward.Julian, who stood in front of the crowd, laughed coldly and took his men to step forward with him.Since he was already on Harvey’s side, he had no choice but to fight till the bitter end.He was surprised to see Harvey was fooled into being the son-in-law of the family, but he understood why Marcel would do something like this.If Queenie were to rise to power, she would probably be met with a lot of resistance.Ho
