After Harvey exposed his thoughts, Ezra gritted his teeth.“I am! I really am!” he exclaimed after a long while.“You say that, but you actually feel resentful, don’t you?”“You’re planning to find out my identity before coming for my entire family, aren’t you?”“You’d even dig up my ancestors from their graves and turn them to ash too, right?”Harvey smiled as he pointed out exactly what Ezra was thinking. Then, he kicked right at Ezra’s stomach.Ezra was about to react to the attack, but he was a bit slow since he was kneeling.His entire body felt weighed down, as if he was hit by a sledgehammer. Decades worth of strength and hard work was destroyed in an instant.His spirits were crushed along with it.He felt extremely powerless; his entire body collapsed onto the ground as he trembled uncontrollably.Ezra gritted his teeth, boiling with anger.“What did you do to me, you b*stard?!”“Nothing much. I only ruined all your training,” Harvey explained calmly.“People like
The two people were Mac and Logan, whose faces bore horrible expressions.In a way, they were still fine.Right behind them, Ezra and Dylan were both lying on stretchers.One was completely robbed of his strength and was forced to be an ordinary human.The other had all of his limbs broken. Nobody knew how long it would take for him to recover.However, Joseph’s emotions didn’t change much even after seeing all them.Instead, he smiled calmly and said, “Talk. What happened?”Logan’s eyes twitched.“Young Master, Dylan provoked Harvey by accident. After that, Dylan called both Vice Head Bauer and me to support him…”“Harvey brought out Longmen’s Law Enforcement Badge before crippling Vice Head Bauer.”“Crippled?” Joseph frowned.“If I remember correctly, didn’t you and Mac talk to him before?”“What? He won’t hand over his position and he’s beating up my men for it?”“He must be ready to go against me…”Logan looked resentful as he wiped the sweat off his head.“Young Mas
On the next day, early in the morning at the Flutwell Police Station.Someone sent over a note.The note stated that because of Kayden’s help, other than the fact that Lilian and Mandy were behind bars, they weren’t poorly treated.That said, since the two of them were still family, Harvey decided to go and meet them.Harvey signed a few papers in the police station’s guest room. Due to Kayden’s connections, the police didn’t make things hard for Harvey.After the police left, two women in prisoners’ clothing were sent to the guest room.Mandy, who was falling behind, looked quite miserable; her aura felt a little more distant than before.Lilian stomped in front with a pompous look.“I told you already!” she exclaimed smugly as she entered the room.“Even if there’s a problem, it’s the thirteenth young master who’s at fault!”“Tell him I’ll do as I promised! I’ll let him marry my daughter! The gold mine…”Before Lilian could finish speaking, she saw Harvey and froze immedia
“Let me tell you something!”“I don’t care if you’re a little capable now! In my eyes, you’re not worthy to have Mandy!”“Get us out of here if you can!”“Why even bother coming here?”“Do you want a consolation award or something?”“A country bumpkin like you has no right to cling to Mandy!”“Mandy’s going to marry the thirteenth young master!”“If you know what’s best for you, you’ll leave her as soon as possible!”“There’s nothing for you here!”Lilian was still planning to force Mandy into marrying a wealthy family so she could live the most luxurious life there ever was.In her eyes, she was no longer suited to simply be rich. She deserved so much more!“You’re daydreaming this early in the morning?” Harvey sneered.“You’re still dwelling in your fantasy of Joseph becoming your dear son-in-law?”“Are you even worthy?”Lilian screamed, “Shut up!”“Get out of here already! Stop ruining my plans!” Lilian exclaimed, a resentful look on her face.“Don’t try to push me!”
Lilian changed her expression frantically and screamed, “No! I don’t trust this little b*stard! He might just sell us out!”“When that happens, we’ll live the rest of our lives behind bars!”“Cut it out, Mother!”“Why would Harvey even do that?!”Mandy had a helpless look on her face.“He’s not that kind of person! How do you still not know him?”“If he’s planning to hurt us, he would’ve just left us here!”“Why would he waste time talking to us?”Harvey glared icily at Lilian.“What are you trying to do?”“Are you really going to wait for Joseph?”“Are you waiting for him to have a guilty conscience? Or are you waiting for pure luck to get you out of this damn place?”“Can’t you be a little more realistic?”“Who else is going to save you other than me?”After sizing up Harvey, Lilian chuckled coldly and sneered, “Wow! You know how to threaten me now, huh?!”“I don’t mind telling you that I do have a backup that can turn the tables in my favor!”“You can have it, but yo
Harvey couldn’t help but clap for Lilian’s unreasonable conditions.He didn’t think that Lilian could get much worse after not meeting her for a while.Harvey shrugged.“I don’t think I can do that for you.”“How about this? I’ll just bail Mandy out.”“You can sit here and wait for Joseph to get you out instead.”Having said that, Harvey turned around and started walking away.“This is too much, Mother! Just give it to him already!” Mandy couldn’t hold in her frustration any longer. She took a deep breath before speaking up.Lilian’s face darkened in an instant.“The gold mine doesn’t belong to you in the first place! Can you not be so unreasonable?!”Lilian was enraged.“What’s with the attitude?! I’m your mother!”“As long as you have nothing to do with this little b*stard, the thirteenth young master will fulfill his part of the contract!”“There’s no problem at all!”“Or are you saying you’re jealous of me, too?!”Having endured many days in jail, Lilian couldn’t h
“And that’s how we got in here. It didn’t matter if we committed a crime or not.”Mandy sighed dolefully.“There’s something I don’t understand. Joseph did so much to gain my mother’s trust and make such an absurd contract, but why?”“Is it because I didn’t reciprocate his feelings? Is that why he’s taking his revenge?”“This might be one of the reasons. But since we’re here, there’s no point thinking about the past anymore,” Harvey replied calmly.“Let’s talk about something else.”“Do you have a backup or not?”“We do,” Mandy quietly replied.“Mother’s pretty unreasonable, but she’s quite careful in terms of business.”“The police have a copy of the contract regarding the gold mine.”“But the real one’s locked inside a storage room of Flutwell International Airport.”Harvey was impressed after hearing Mandy’s words.Indeed, Lilian would stop at nothing to ensure her interests were safe.“Tell me the code to the storage room.”Harvey stood up.“Since Joseph wants to shu
Not long after, a young man in a suit calmly walked inside, accompanied by a few bodyguards and a secretary.The higher-ups and shareholders immediately stood up after seeing the man arrive.“CEO Murray!” they exclaimed in unison.The person was none other than one of Joseph’s subordinates, Ozzy Murray.At the same time, he was also the executive CEO of Hearthstone Corporation. He was managing the company in Joseph’s stead for the time being.“Mmm.”Ozzy nodded at everyone before picking up a cup of black tea from his secretary. After taking a steady sip, he sat on the middlemost seat and said, “Did we inform Longmen’s Law Enforcement to send their representative here for our meeting?”“If they don’t come, then according to our deal, we’ll have to take back all thirty percent of their shares!”Before the gold mine was found in Flutwell, there were many different forces trying to gain more authority inside the city.However, Longmen’s Law Enforcement stood up and maintained or
