Xynthia Zimmer felt miserable after seeing her own mother desperately trying to frame Harvey York.She knew full well that Lilian Yates’s testimony was the most important out of the three.Harvey’s suspicion could only be cleared if Lilian would retract what she said earlier that morning.Mandy Zimmer frowned. She also believed that Harvey would not do something like this.But she also knew how her mother behaved. It would do no good to try and convince her at this moment.Judging from Lilian’s attitude, Harvey would have no chance to clear his name if she were to go all out and become his “corrupt witness”.She would carry the memory of Harvey stabbing her in the stomach back in Hong Kong for the rest of her life…Her desire to become the mother-in-law of a top-rated family also pushed her to do this.Right as Mandy was trying to figure out a way to convince her mother, a few Rolls Royce Phantoms suddenly appeared before parking in front of the police station.A handsome man
“What are you saying, Young Master?!”“That’s none of your business.”Lilian Yates immediately interrupted Mandy Zimmer from talking.“That b*stard, Harvey York, is just born violent! Only he can do something heinous like this!“He totally deserves it!“He’s the one who killed all those people!“He’s the one who has to pay!”“Enough, Mother! Shut up already!”Mandy could not help but scold her mother before she raised her head to look at Joseph Bauer.“This has nothing to do with you, Young Master.“I also don’t want to argue about who’s in the wrong.“Just please stop getting yourself involved!”Joseph pulled out a long, thin cigar and held it in his mouth with a faint smile.“What are you saying, Mandy?“Jordan Bowie’s my subordinate no matter what! I should be taking some responsibility if something like this were to happen.“I’ve been pondering the situation when I was coming here. I wanted to make due.“The Bowie family’s history now!“But, the living ones need to
“No wonder you’re one of Flutwell’s most influential men at such a young age!“I’ll be relieved if Mandy Zimmer gets to be with you!”Lilian Yates did not fancy Joseph Bauer’s fake attitude, but she was still filled with joy.If Joseph were a man who liked guises, Lilian would be able to live her life full of luxuries if Mandy were to marry him!Lilian looked at Mandy with a bitter look on her face without a second thought.“Oh, Mandy!“You need to cherish the man in front of you!“You won’t get another chance if you don’t!”Mandy frowned. She could not understand what Joseph was trying to do.Joseph’s words made no sense at all. It was as if she was just dreaming.Joseph showed a faint smile after hearing Lilian’s compliment.“You’re too kind, Auntie Lilian!“This is no trouble at all.“As long as Mandy can be happy and leave her past behind, this will all be worth it for me…”Afterward, Joseph stared at Mandy with longing eyes.“If you say the word, your ex-husband wil
While it was utter chaos on the outside, Harvey York was taking a nap inside the interrogation room.Nobody asked him a single word ever since he was brought inside.Flutwell Police Station seemed to be focused on crime scene evidence and witnesses after being guided by some experts. Because of this, Harvey was completely ignored by them.It was unknown whether this was a psychological tactic or they were just trying to gather more evidence so that Harvey would have no chance to refute his crimes.In any case, Harvey had been left alone for quite a while already.Harvey could not be bothered anyway. He had been taking a nap before he started deducing the incident.Clearly, someone was behind Ezra Bauer, Dylan Bowie, and Jordan Bowie’s deaths.The people who could control such events in Flutwell were relatively rare.The only confusing thing was that it would be hard to use the opportunity to end Harvey’s life even though he was the biggest suspect in the incident.Judging from
Vivian Hall showed a righteous look when she fiercely exclaimed, “Tell us everything!“Why did you kill them?!“How did you kill them?!“What sort of people did you kill?!“Speak! I want all the details!“The law will bring you justice!”Harvey York curiously glanced at Vivian.“You have no proof of me killing anyone now, do you?“Would you believe me if I said that I didn’t kill anyone?”The male inspector froze before he coldly chuckled.“The footage clearly showed you at the crime scene! You also have a motive to do such a thing!“What’s the point of denying it now?!”Harvey shrugged.“These are just preconceived notions.“Let’s not say that the person in the footage wasn’t me.“Even if it was, me being there doesn’t prove anything.“Perhaps I was just taking a stroll and enjoying the scenery.“Besides, Jordan Bowie went against so many people in Flutwell. It’s only normal for people to want him dead in the first place.”“Enough!“Stop trying to deny it!The male
Harvey York calmly glanced at Vivian Hall.“You have no right to be my security blanket.“You don’t have the power, nor do you have the status for it.”“Heh heh heh… Am I not good enough to be your security blanket?“You talk like you outsiders are actually powerful in Flutwell!”Vivian was chuckling out of rage before she gritted her teeth.“Make the call then! I do want to see what kind of security you have!‘A goddamn live-in son-in-law trying to show off in front of me like some hotshot! What a joke!’Harvey merely smiled and thought of someone before he dialed a number.Beep beep beep…The call got through, but no sound came from the other side. Harvey was not bothered at all. He lightly tapped the screen thrice and patiently waited.An exhilarated yet nervous tone could be heard from the other side.“CEO York, is that you?”“It’s been a while. I can’t believe you still remember my signal even now, Ansel Torres.”“You’re joking, CEO York!” exclaimed the person on the
“It’s important to be truthful, kid,” said the male inspector.“At least do some homework before you try to fool people like us.“You don’t even know Director Torres’ number, yet here you are pretending that you called him?“Do you even know who he is?“He’s a living legend of the country’s military force, the Chief Instructor’s personal bodyguard while he was still in the Sword Camp!“The Chief Instructor himself trained him!“Director Torres killed a God of War from the Island Nations on his own at the Euro-American battlefield!“Because of his accomplishments, he became the director of Flutwell Police Station at such a young age!“He’s a genuine character in Flutwell’s upper social circle!“Do you think you’d know the phone number of someone like that?!“You think you can just order him around?!“Who do you think you are? The Chief Instructor himself?!”Harvey showed a faint smile after hearing the barrage of insults.“What if I told you that I am him?”“Enough! Can yo
Ansel Torres’s expression worsened when he strutted forward.Vivian Hall and her partner’s hearts skipped a beat before they approached Ansel.“Director Torres!“What brings you here?”Vivian felt her heart racing.‘There’s no way that this is happening, right?’“Did you arrest a man named Harvey York?” exclaimed Ansel coldly, without wasting a single second.“Where is he?“I need to see him right now!”Cold sweats were dripping down Vivian and her partner’s heads while their eyes were twitching.‘It’s real!‘It’s all real!‘Harvey did call Director Torres just now!‘He got all the way here in just ten minutes!‘But…’***“Why didn’t you call me the moment you arrived here, CEO York?“If the brothers from Sword Camp know that you were locked up here, they’ll raze my entire house to the ground.”Ansel showed up in the interrogation room five minutes after reading the case documents.He respectfully stood beside Harvey while showing a bitter smile. He would not even da
Drake shrugged nonchalantly and said to Journi, "I don't care whether you want to kneel, but you know my nickname well."As they spoke, Drake's right finger was already starting to pull the trigger.Journi gritted her teeth, but in the end, she slowly bent the knee. Harvey was stunned as he was going to make his move. There was surprise in his eyes. All these men and women from high society had their own pride. He did not expect her to be able to be so flexible in a time like this. She deserved his praise!"Tsk. Aren't you a princess? Aren't you always prideful? Don't they call you a goddess?" Drake looked at Journi disdainfully when he saw her kneel. He patted Journi's hand with a sneer. "You've always despised me, haven't you? Why are you kneeling before me now?"If it isn't because Ms. Isis desired you, do you think I'll let you kneel here? You're just a daughter from some second-rate top family. You think you're untouchable, and you want to go against us? Do you think you're an
Hearing Drake's words, Journi coldly said, "Drake, are you stupid? Do you know who you are? Are you threatening me? Ruin my face, then. Show me if you can actually bear the consequences of your action!"Journi was quite fearless. Besides Harvey being right next to her, it was also because Journi was sure Drake would not dare to do anything to her. She was a member of the Stanton family, after all. While the Stanton family was not one of the top ten families or one of the five hidden families, they were still one of the top families.If they butted heads and went all out, it would never end well for both sides."Ha! Don't think I didn't know Emery is no longer interested in you," Drake waved his hand, and four brawny men walked out, their eyes locked on Harvey and Journi."I gave you some respect in the past because Emery wanted you, so I did it for his sake. Do you really think you mean anything? And now? Who do you think you are? So what if I tell you to kneel and call her Queen?
Just when Harvey was giving Isis a good look, Jouni could not help but yelp as if she had discovered something novel. "Drake Ward? Why is he here? Isn't he supposed to be back in the Northern Lands?"Harvey looked at Isis and instantly frowned. Then, his eyes turned to the man sitting opposite Isis. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and had a buzz cut. He was also covered in tattoos and looked very aggressive. Most importantly, he was the only man from Country H who could be on the same level as all these foreigners here.And the way he looked at Isis was one of unrestrained aggression. However, despite clearly noticing that, Isis did not say anything else. That also explained the man's high status because, typically speaking, someone like Isis would definitely kill any man who gave her those looks."Drake Ward?" Harvey was curious. "Why does this name sound so familiar?""Of course it is," Journi replied coldly. "He belonged to one of the five hidden families, the Ward family o
Since the other side wanted to drop all pretenses, he also could do it his way. They lived in an era when fighting fire with fire was the only way to go. The man's expression froze, somewhat darkened. He did not expect this man to be the current chairman of Country H Commercial Group, which meant he had bitten off more than he could ever chew. If he had known, he would not have wasted his breath.But from how calm Harvey was, he could tell that Harvey was definitely someone who would honor his threats. If Harvey really did take this to Elric, then it would simply make everyone look bad. Even if they were sure this place had nothing to do with the commercial group, who would they complain to when Harvey locked all the exits?The moment that thought crossed the man's mind, he could only say with a straightened expression, "I see that you're the chairman, Mr. Harvey. If that's the case, please come in. My master wanted to meet you for a long time."When Journi saw the man had taken a
"True, this is not our territory," the man said with a smile, "but since Mr. Stanton rented this place to us, this place is under our management for the time being. When he rented us this place, we made a promise. Other than the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group, only the guests that we designated can enter this place. "Even gods will have to follow this rule. Not only are you trying to make it hard for us, but you're also making it hard for your father. I believe you won't make it difficult for us, right?The man gave Journi a meaningful smile. A woman who came to his master after submitting herself to him didn't have anything to be proud of.Journi's expression darkened. "What if I said this man is my boyfriend?""Boyfriend?" The man smiled. "He can't enter even if he's your husband. But I know you people like to break the rules all the time. If you want to force your way through, then we'll act accordingly."The man clapped; instantly, eight powerful-built men walked
The next day, eight o'clock in the evening… Harvey got into a car, and Journi was waving at him with a smile. In the past two days, Journi didn't interrupt him and Yvonne, and simply let them clean up everything that had happened earlier.Once it was almost done, only then did Journi ask Harvey to do as he promised and pretend to be her boyfriend.According to Journi, the man from Country A who liked her was becoming worse and worse. One time, he even went to the female toilet and she almost lost her innocence. All she wanted was for Harvey to deal with this properly.Originally, Harvey didn't want to make a move. When he heard how improper the man acted, he was furious and agreed to Journi's request. However, Journi said that this couldn't be taken care of using force alone. She hoped Harvey would go and meet him and settle this peacefully. This would be good for both sides.Originally, Harvey was going to ask Tyson to immediately teach that man a lesson. But since Journi requ
Linus almost wanted to slap the secretary out of fury. "I'm warning you! This is something we have to deal with ourselves. If we can, Emery will ally with us and help us deal with the small problems that we might encounter. But if we can't… Let me tell you what'll happen. Emery will kick us when we're down and will never offer us a helping hand!"Linus's expression became even darker after he said that. Those who were able to become one of the highest ranking members of the family, it didn't matter how arrogant they were or how materialistic they were, their basic judgment wouldn't stray too far away from being accurate. He was already able to guess Emery's personality. It was said that there was no love within a royal family. It was the same for wealthy families.The beautiful secretary nodded and whispered, "But Mr. Linus, our biggest problem is we're running out of resources. Without powerful locals from the country to help us right now, we're nothing when we're facing Yvonne
Wolsing Grand Hospital. Midnight.Linus was covered in bandages, looking in extremely bad shape. While he had plenty of bodyguards, the Islanders refused to stop no matter what. After the clash, they had beaten him up thoroughly. While there was no permanent injury, he was still covered in bruises.He used his right hand to pick up a cigar as he cursed, "Bastard! All these traitorous Islanders… They took my money… Not only did they do nothing, but they even attacked me! I will kill them after this!"He gritted his teeth. "And that witch Yvonne! She better not think this is over! One day, I'll find a way to kill all of you! Not only you, I will kill your whole family and that man of yours too!"At this time, Linus was no different from a woman scorned. All that was left for him to do was to take out his little book of grudges and start recording. As for how Yvonne managed to retaliate… Though Linus was furious with her, he was also terrified of her.The plot he had so meticulousl
Everything was over. Whether it was the Xaviers, the Islanders, or someone else, they couldn't do anything about this case anymore. With this video, no one could undo anything.On the second floor, Journi looked at what happened with shock. Only after a long time did she whisper, "All we needed to spend is 5,000?""I guess," Harvey said with a shrug. "But I needed to prepare some money beforehand. My subordinates found out that Linus bribed Nomura and the Islanders 100 thousand per head. Nomura and his ilk are greedy, so they agreed to it. I told my subordinates to leak the news that after the negotiation, Linus could gain a lot more benefits."The Islanders naturally wouldn't accept the fact that they'll only be able to gain a little profit, so our men approached them again and pretended to be part of Linus' men. They agreed to hike the price. I even transferred the money to them, so the Islanders had to give today's performance their all. If they had to go as far as to commit suic
