The disciples of Longmen’s Flutwell branch were filled with utter despair.They knew what Longmen’s Law Enforcement represented, but they did not expect their allies to switch sides immediately after seeing the badge.Mrs. Lee’s beautiful face had completely lost all color. She fiercely held her fist, almost to the point where her nails would dig into her palms.After kicking aside a few bodyguards from the Lee family while playing with the badge, Harvey York calmly walked toward Mrs. Lee with a smile.“Why don’t you tell me who I’m going against now, Mrs. Lee?” Harvey asked in a calm tone…But every single word was enough to make Mrs. Lee’s eyes twitch and her heart race.“What do you want, young man?Mrs. Lee’s expression worsened.“Are you really planning to go against me?”Mrs. Lee was filled with dread the moment she saw the badge…But she knew full well that she alone could not kneel!Besides her pride and dignity as the wife of Flutwell’s Longmen branch leader, she al
While Mrs. Lee was gloating with a faint smile on her face…Harvey York threw a phone on the ground.“Come. I’ll give you a chance.“Call your young master!“Ask him properly.“See if he’s willing to support you now!”Mrs. Lee froze. She did not expect Harvey could remain this calm even after hearing Joseph Bauer’s name.That said, she had no time to think about that.Under such circumstances, she had no other choice but to dial the number.After a few rings, the phone was picked up before a distant voice could be heard.“Who is this?”Mrs. Lee respectfully bowed even when she was on the other side of the phone.“I’m Mrs. Lee from Longmen’s Flutwell branch. I got myself into trouble with someone holding Longmen’s Law Enforcement Badge.“He wants to cripple me.”“The Law Enforcement?Joseph sounded indifferent.“Since when did a person with the badge have the right to flaunt their strength in Flutwell?”Mrs. Lee proudly glared at Harvey, as if she had already won.Harv
“Who am I?Harvey York casually loaded his revolver and took off the safety.Then, he smiled coldly before placing the revolver right on Mrs. Lee’s hand.“Didn’t I tell you already?“I’m Harvey York! I’m Xynthia Zimmer’s brother-in-law! I’m only here to reclaim justice for her!”Soon after, Harvey calmly pulled the trigger.The bullet pierced right through Mrs. Lee’s wrist.The crowd screamed in fear before they covered their mouths.Nobody thought that Harvey would actually do as he said without hesitation.After all, it was only natural. Even Joseph Bauer meant nothing to him…Let alone Mrs. Lee!He could do whatever he wanted!Mrs. Lee’s body trembled slightly while the crowd was screaming. At that very moment, the shock had completely masked her pain. She could not return to her senses when she saw her crippled right hand.Things had been smooth sailing for Mrs. Lee for the past few years because of the support behind her back.She never needed to care for who she cru
“Harvey! Harvey!”“That b*stard again!”After hearing Mrs. Lee’s call for help, Joseph knew full well that if he didn’t protect her, he wouldn’t just lose his reputation…But many would also turn to Harvey’s side after realizing that Joseph feared Harvey!That said, Joseph was at a total disadvantage after what had happened at Flutwell’s new district.He still had some troublesome things he was desperately trying to fix.If he kept challenging Harvey, no doubt he would have an all-out war waiting for him.And if that were to happen, Joseph firmly believed that his two brothers would definitely take the opportunity to crush him once and for all.Everything he fought for would be for naught.Because of this, Joseph had no other choice but to let Mrs. Lee fend for herself.“I’ll kill you as soon as I rise to power, Harvey!”It was Joseph’s first time feeling so powerless.Other than screaming in anger, there was nothing else he could do.“You taught us to have the patience to
Joseph was hesitating whether to go all out against Harvey or not…Harvey, on the other hand, had already forgotten about the gift he gave Joseph.He was sitting in the hospital, waiting for Xynthia’s test results.Xynthia was quite lucky. Since Rudolph and his team were still around, they had been treating her with extra care.After an entire night, she had mostly recovered from her injuries.She seemed a lot better mentally as well. Not only was she awake, she even had a huge appetite for food.“Here’s your favorite Acorn Mush. I already blew on it for you. You can just eat it.”Harvey casually opened the package and put the casserole on Xynthia’s bedside table.Harvey knew how to make his own food, but there was simply no time for that for the time being. Ordering takeout became his go-to.“My hands hurt, Brother-In-Law! You feed me!”Xynthia opened her mouth slightly with a helpless look on her face.Harvey was speechless; he sighed as he glanced at her hand, which was s
Harvey sighed after seeing the look on Xynthia’s face.Sometimes, he couldn’t help but be impressed that the sisters had nothing in common with their mother.An insufferable woman like Lilian being able to give birth to two well-mannered daughters was already a good enough blessing.At this moment, Harvey knew he couldn’t joke with Xynthia about this any longer.“Fine. I won’t make it harder for you,” Harvey said after letting out a sigh.“Don’t worry. They’ve already received their punishment.”“Just tell them to kneel for an entire day tomorrow.”“Alright. I’ll listen to you.”Xynthia let out a sigh of relief.She was reminded of another thing soon after.“How’s Larisa, anyway?”“I heard she’s been acting sluggish the entire time. It’s not because I shot her, right?”The kind-hearted young woman couldn’t help but worry about her friend.“I don’t know.”Harvey smiled.“But the shot probably didn’t affect her that badly.”“She’s not sick either.”“Huh? What happened to
Not long after, Mandy’s car, a Maybach, drove out of the garage.The car was the property of Hearthstone Corporation in the past. The car hadn’t been driven a lot since it belonged to the CEO of the company, so it looked like it was brand-new.Harvey sat in the back while quietly admiring the car.Mandy handed Harvey some breakfast after seeing him in the car before telling the driver to drive.“You already got in contact with Young Master Bauer?”“Is he going to give the money back or not?”Mandy sighed.“The three young masters are all prominent figures of Flutwell.”“The eldest Young Master Bauer is the best out of the three. He’s also quite isolated from the world.”“Normally speaking, it would be hard to see him even on TV, let alone actually meeting him.”“It’s said he has eighteen places he’d randomly choose to live in every single day.”“He wouldn’t even wear the clothes he’s already worn the day before.”“All this just to make sure he wouldn’t be tracked.”Harvey
Harvey chuckled.“Judging from what you said, she should’ve been a superstar by now, right?”Mandy sighed.“The entertainment industry is darker than we imagine. Elanor refused to sleep with one of the bosses, and so was permanently put in limbo. She was even assigned roles as a toilet cleaner or the victim of r*pe.”“To her, that is utterly humiliating.”“She met Jeff coincidentally and became one of his women. After that, she refrained from showing herself.”“That’s it?” Harvey asked, curious.“If Elanor is only willing to be one of Jeff’s mistresses, does she even have the right to negotiate with us?”“After being with Jeff, she used his authority to rip the director to shreds. Even his entire family was dragged down with him.”“The boss’ ancestors were dragged out from their graves and burned to a crisp!”Mandy was filled with shock. She didn’t understand how a potential superstar could have ended up in such a way.Harvey took a deep breath.“She’s ruthless!”“Jeff mus
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
