Joseph froze. Then, a frown appeared on his face. “How did Harvey manage to get Golden Palace’s Law Enforcement to fear him?”“I usually give them quite a lot of money.”“Why are they being so hesitant now that I want someone dead?”Ruby frowned as well.“Maybe they’re scared of the person who came with Harvey that night.”“After all, that person had the Dragon Guards with her. She was in a car with a license plate from Wolsing as well. Her identity must be quite extraordinary.”“Before figuring out Harvey and the person’s identity, Golden Palace probably wouldn’t take action.”“You may be right…”Joseph let out a huge sigh.“Harvey’s quite impressive!”“He knows how to make use of someone else’s strength pretty well.”“I think I know why the houses ended up in his hands now.”“That person from Wolsing must’ve helped him.”“If not, judging from those young masters and princes, there was no way they’d finish the procedures overnight.”“That person must have a pretty high
“Joseph can just get his men to carry the coffins out of the place, right?”Mandy was confused.“He wouldn’t dare,” Harvey calmly replied.“The noble Kshatriyas are the ones sleeping there. Every single one of them died in Flutwell for no reason.”“Now that a kind-hearted person gave them such a high-class funeral, the Indians would definitely thank the person no matter what they truly think.”“If Joseph decides to move the coffins away, he’ll completely turn against the Indians and the Celestial Temple.”“Judging from Joseph’s behavior, he wouldn’t do something that would make him suffer any loss.”“He’ll think of another way to deal with this.”“That said, this isn’t what we should be worrying about right now.”“After losing the capital return of the new district, Joseph and the business alliance’s control in Flutwell’s business world will plummet.”“If you want to stand your ground here…”“You should definitely make arrangements as soon as you can. Make sure to take advan
Harvey revealed a calm smile.“I don’t know if Jeff will actually return the money…”“But I do know one thing: it’s only natural for people to give back what’s been owed.”“If you want absolute authority within Hearthstone Corporation and use this opportunity to build a career…”“Taking the money back is a good start.”Harvey chuckled.“While your mother’s gone, I can go with you to the Whitebane Center if you’re feeling well.”“I can get the money back for you.”Mandy shook her head, and flashed Harvey a warm smile. “It’s fine. I've already found someone to do it for me.”“She’ll be able to get the money back. All I need to do is to give her something in return.”Upon seeing the confidence on Mandy’s face, Harvey smiled and said nothing.She had been struggling in the business world for the longest time. Surely, she would have ideas of her own at this point.And so, Harvey patiently waited for Mandy to deal with the situation.…“Brother-In-Law! What a coincidence!”R
“Huh?”The woman’s name was Larisa Lee; upon hearing Harvey’s words, she froze, her pale face going bright red.She instinctively stepped toward Xynthia and whispered, “Is your brother-in-law crazy or something?”“How can he talk to a woman like this?”“Is he still a pervert who’s never touched your sister for three whole years, just like you said?”Naturally, Xynthia must’ve said those things back then. Thus, Larisa was showing an odd look as she glared at Harvey.Xynthia felt awkward.“You’re mistaken, Larisa…”Xynthia quickly thought of a way to relieve the awkwardness.“My brother-in-law’s pretty talented, Larisa.”“He wouldn’t ask you this for no reason.”“Are you actually losing sleep?”Larisa nodded, still looking weirded out. “Xynthia, your brother-in-law isn’t some conman, is he?”“I heard there are people who can see what’s wrong with everyone’s bodies, and use that to scam others…”Xynthia was at a complete loss—she had no idea how to explain the situation.
Harvey shook his head helplessly after seeing Larisa strut away.Xynthia was infuriated.“Honestly! Doesn’t she know how talented you are?!”“She just doesn’t believe you!”Xynthia hesitated for a moment after she was done complaining.“Brother-In-Law, is everything you said true?” she asked while looking at Harvey.“Is Larisa going to be in trouble?”Harvey nodded.“Of course. She’ll be in a life-threatening situation soon.”“Right. You’ll be affected by her evil energy as well. It’s better if you take precautions.”Harvey put a few drops of blood on a new piece of tissue before handing it to Xynthia.“Keep this with you.”“Okay.”Xynthia cleverly nodded her head before happily putting the tissue in her pocket.“Right!”After keeping the tissue, Xynthia slapped her head and said, “I just told Larisa we’d play Script Murder with some of my other university friends.”“Do you want to come?”“Script Murder?”Harvey froze upon hearing the name.“What’s that?”“It’s just
Larisa wasn’t injured very badly—she wasn’t in danger…However, she was in complete shock.She kept twitching on the ground as she covered her wound, and wouldn’t respond to anyone calling her name.Xynthia was so scared that she started shivering.She was the one who pulled the trigger. She didn’t think that the firearm would actually shoot out a live bullet.If it weren’t for the recoil, Larisa would’ve been dead!Xynthia's heart kept racing. She knew she had to call Harvey after something this big happened.After understanding the situation, Harvey drove here as quickly as he could.Flutwell’s Film City was a brightly-lit place filled with food and entertainment.Xynthia kept shivering as she sat slumped on a bench. She was holding a bottle of water, but she didn’t even take a sip of it.The local police force were already involved with the situation. The owner of the Script Murder place was apprehended instantly.Xynthia’s university friends and everyone else had to stay
“Larisa!”“Are you alright?!”“My baby girl!”A middle-aged woman in traditional clothing arrived on the scene with several companions.She approached Larisa anxiously, before throwing a large fit.Senior Miller immediately stood up and bowed in front of the woman, calling her Mrs. Lee.Xynthia wasn’t from Flutwell, so she didn’t know who Mrs. Lee was.The university students began to mumble to each other.“That’s Larisa’s mother!”“I heard she’s from Flutwell’s business alliance! She’s involved with the development of Flutwell’s new district! She’s filthy rich!”“Her father’s even better! I think he’s a prominent figure from Longmen!”“Her family’s so rich! Larisa said she was going to pay for the Script Murder, but who knew that this would happen?”The students were showing admiration; Larisa’s family was simply too extraordinary. She wouldn’t need to ask for a single thing her entire life; she already had everything.The students were born in normal families. Even some
Mrs. Lee glared vengefully at Xynthia.“How do you not understand why I’m hitting you right now?!”“I know everything, you b*tch!”“You were the one who shot my daughter!”“You were jealous of her! That was why you wanted to scare her!”“You knew the gun was going to go off!”“So what if I hit you?! I’m doing this for my daughter!”Mrs. Lee swung her palm again.Slap!This time, however,Xynthia was prepared to block the slap.“Be reasonable, ma’am!”“We came here to play!”“Larisa picked the role herself!”“I was just following the script!”“I’m sorry that this happened…”“But this isn’t my fault! I’m a victim as well!”Xynthia had a helpless look on her face.“Why would I pull the trigger if I knew that there was a bullet?”“I feel guilty about it, but you can’t put all the blame on me!”“Be a little more reasonable! It doesn’t matter if you’re angry!”Xynthia tried her best to explain her situation.Mrs. Lee’s expression turned as cold as ice.“You still can’t c
Nelly fell on her knees without delay and started to slap herself dozens of times. Finally, she muttered an apology to Xynthia before turning tail and fled.It was obvious that after what had happened, she was no longer the queen bee of the advertising department. What Sawyer had said also meant that she would become a non-person in the entertainment industry. Someone like her would not have a good ending.However, Harvey was unaffected despite knowing how Nelly's life would end. Instead, he thought she deserved it. It was already quite lenient for her to end up like this for a woman who did not know her place and wanted to bully her juniors.-After it was all done, Marlee invited Harvey to a three-story office building that was only a couple hundred feet away.Xynthia and Journi followed them there. The two were similarly quite surprised when they saw Marlee's change of attitude toward Harvey.Marlee did not know who Xynthia was, but she was acquainted with Journi. They just di
"Tell him to give me his name!" Sawyer said. "I don't care if he is in Wolsing or anywhere in Country H. I'll make sure he regrets ever coming to this world!"Sawyer sounded extremely domineering, and his tone was very arrogant. It was as if the entire world was his to destroy whenever he wanted to. Not to mention, one could hear from his tone that he did not care about Marlee at all.Marlee's expression darkened, and she wanted to speak.However, Harvey waved his hand and said, "Sawyer Judd, is it? Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Harvey York. If you still don't know who I am, you can ask your leader or your grandmother. You can speak to me once you know who I am."Also, your woman has harassed my younger sister and that upsets me a lot. You better be able to give me an explanation. It would be best if you could give me one. If you can't, I'll give you one instead."Harvey calmly replied, but his words were even more domineering than Sawyer's from the other side.What the hell?
"Mr. York, why did you suddenly visit Judd Entertainment? Do you have any order for me?" asked Marlee Harvey in a serious tone."Not exactly," Harvey pointed at Xynthia with his right hand. "That's my younger sister over there, but we're not biologically related. She's currently working at Judd Entertainment. But what happened? Your advertising department's superstar is forcing her to sleep with an old man, otherwise she'll ruin her career."I'm here to question you on behalf of my younger sister. Is this a company rule?"When Marlee heard what Harvey had to say, her eye twitched, and she quickly turned around and slapped Nelly, who was caught completely unprepared.Nelly cried out in pain as she held her face and landed on the ground, looking at Marlee in disbelief. "Don't you worry, Mr. York. I'll give you a satisfying explanation about this."Harvey calmly said, "This is not the first time we met each other, Marlee. So, I know this has nothing much to do with you. That's why
Harvey had ignored Nelly's taunts and continued with the countdown. "Three minutes."At this time, Journi approached them from the back. Journi gave Xynthia a strange look and then said to the woman from upper management, "Here's my advice. You should give Ms. Marlee a call right now. Otherwise… I don't think you'll be able to shoulder the consequences."Compared to Harvey, who was wearing something quite plain, the outfit Journi was wearing, while still minimalistic, was all from luxury brands and could only be bought through reservations.She was wearing the Lady Arpels Pont des Amoureux watch, worth hundreds of thousands.What Journi was wearing gave immense pressure to the woman and, after a moment of hesitation, she pulled out her phone and started to dial a number."Oh ho! So, you're a sugar baby!" Nelly said derisively as she instinctively grew hostile to Journi when she saw her. "A sugar baby saving a damsel in distress, becoming the white knight of another woman… How can
The woman who looked like upper management was stunned when she heard Harvey called out to her. "Do you want to see our boss?""My, what a show-off," Nelly scoffed at Harvey's pretentiousness. "Do you want to complain against me by speaking to our boss? Xynthia, where did you find this man? Why is he so stupid? Does he think he can settle this by complaining? Is something wrong with his brain?"Not to mention who does he think he is, thinking he can see our boss whenever he wants? If he can see her, I will fall on my knees and call him daddy!"The other female models all covered their mouths and chuckled. To their understanding, what Harvey did was so laughable and childish. Even the lady from upper management mockingly looked at Harvey and said, "Sir, our company headquarters aren't that far. It'll only take three to five minutes to get there."But, do you really think you can see our boss, Ms. Marlee? Not only is she one of the Judds of Wolsing's three daughters, but ordinary peo
After Nelly finished saying what she had to say, several male models walked toward the women. It was obvious that if Xynthia still refused, she would have a fate worse than death. Xynthia's face turned a little pale. While she was already used to all the big scenes and would bring her bodyguards when she had to go somewhere dangerous to film, she did not expect to be in trouble, even in public, like Northsea Park.She was unsure what to say.Xynthia had already stopped talking back to Nelly and looked around, trying to see if she could get any help or escape. Nelly derisively looked at Xynthia when she saw Xynthia's darting eyes. "Stop looking, Xynthia. Judd Entertainment had reserved this entire space. It doesn't matter if it's the staff or the security; they all work for Judd Entertainment."In short, I am the queen bee of this place, and they'll do whatever I tell them to. That's why your fate has already been set."Nelly waved her hand, and the male models moved extremely qui
Just when Harvey was figuring out what was happening from Journi, Nelly and other female models had already surrounded Xynthia.Nelly gave Xynthia the elevator eyes, and the malice was clearly written on her face. "What right do you think you have to join Judd Entertainment's model competition? Look how skinny you are. I'm giving you a chance to keep Mr. Lee company, do you understand? Why won't you listen to me? Will you only give up after I hit your face until it's swollen?"All the other models were angry at Xynthia once they heard what Nelly had to say."That's right, Xynthia. If you don't listen to Nelly, just leave already!""Our circle is not for someone like you who comes from nowhere.""If we let someone like you join our social circle, it will be an embarrassment.""It's all thanks to models like you who came from nowhere that make others look down on our community, thinking that we don't have class."Xynthia frowned a little, but she still slowly replied, "I'm a stude
"It's true that my family doesn't own Judd Entertainment, but without me, Judd Entertainment would have closed years ago," said the tall woman with a sneer. "Don't tell me you have forgotten that I'm Judd Entertainment's advertising department's superstar?"Harvey did not rush forward and simply squinted his eyes, looking at how things unfolded. Journi noticed the change in Harvey and softly said, "The tall woman is indeed the superstar for Judd Entertainment's advertising department. Her name is Nelly Parker. I heard that she's one of the mistresses of Sawyer Judd, the third son of the Judd family."She had suppressed plenty of newbies who could have become big stars in their own right within Judd Entertainment. She would use everything she had to kick a person out whenever her status was threatened to the point that the other person couldn't survive in the entertainment industry anymore."I've heard that female students from Wolsing's Academy of Motion Pictures have been sold to t
Harvey smiled. "You're welcome. Since I'm already treating you as my friend, I will help you deal with these problems to the best of my ability."Journi shot a strange look at Harvey but did not say a word. The atmosphere around them was becoming somewhat awkward. At this time, Harvey's gaze fell upon a small plaza not too far from the café.He saw plenty of filming equipment scattered around while some handsome men and beautiful women were filming something. It looked like there was some kind of event happening there.Journi looked at what Harvey was looking at. Then, as if she remembered something, she pointed at a logo next to the plaza. "Looks like it's an event organized by Judd Entertainment."Harvey saw a figure among the crowd and subconsciously asked, "Judd Entertainment?"Journi nodded. "The entertainment company belonged to the Judd family. Their business mainly involves filming dramas, movies, and advertisements. They're most widely known for their advertising. I heard
