“Sure. I’ll have to show my respect if you say so.”“It doesn’t matter if he’s planning to kill me or not. I’ll go either way.”“Tell him I’ll be there on time.”“I hope he’ll give me a nice surprise.”Harvey's words had a different meaning, but Elanor didn’t understand him.“I’ll make sure to tell him that,” she replied with an innocent look.She calmly sat on the couch and crossed her slender legs, and gestured to Harvey to sit.“Please. I’d say we’re friends now.”“We had a bad start before. Consider this an apology.”“Of course, I’ll do my best to satisfy you if you need anything else.”“These are Young Master Bauer’s orders, of course.”Elanor revealed a meaningful look when she said those words; she was ripe for the picking at that very moment.Any man would never have the capacity to decline such an offer.It was a shame. Elanor’s calm gaze shifted away before it turned to shock.She saw that Harvey was still smiling, but his expression held neither ridicule nor me
Harvey raised his head and glanced at Elanor. He chuckled.“I have to say, you’re not really treating me as a friend right now.”“This was my meeting gift—you’re disrespecting me if you’re giving it back right now.”“People of Flutwell now call me the grandmaster of martial arts. It’s inappropriate for you to do something like this, don’t you think?”Even though Harvey said that, he didn’t seem too surprised.After all, Elanor was a smart woman; she knew full well that she needed to break off from Harvey to prevent herself from getting involved.Harvey admired her because of this.“Of course I need to show my respect to you…”“But in the end, I still belong to Young Master Bauer.”Elanor calmly looked for an excuse.“As one of Young Master Bauer’s mistresses, there’ll be a day where I will be sent to limbo.”“I may seem like I have a bright future ahead of me with all this authority, but just as you found out, I don’t have much money.”“The properties I own don’t even amoun
“With the money, you’ll get five percent of the company’s shares.”“You should be able to tell that Hearthstone Corporation has a bright future ahead.”“With the shares, whether you want to go abroad or stay in a top-tier city in the country, you’ll be able to enjoy glory and riches for the rest of your life.”“Is this not better than being a nameless woman?”Harvey didn’t hide anything from Elanor at all; he wanted her with Hearthstone Corporation.After all, he knew that both he and Mandy wouldn’t be able to stay in Flutwell for long.But with someone like Elanor, the company would surely function without any problems.Elanor froze. Then, she chuckled shyly.“Sir York, you don’t seem like you’re trying to win me over. You sound like you’re planning to take care of a mistress or something!”She knew Harvey wasn’t only winning her over to protect the company…It was more likely she was asked to work for him.After being with Jeff for so many years, Elanor knew Flutwell like
Bang, bang, bang!The Indians wasted no time pulling the trigger at Harvey.Bullets were all over the place; everywhere was covered in fog and smoke.Anyone else would’ve turned into colanders at this point.“Look out!” Elanor exclaimed instinctively.Harvey pushed Elanor’s body to the corner of the VIP room.At the same time, he twisted his body before charging straight ahead.After dodging every single bullet, he jumped in front of the Indians and beat them up.Slap, slap, slap!Loud slaps could be heard as the Indians were all sent flying. They were all unconscious when they fell to the ground. Nobody knew whether they were dead or alive…‘So strong!’‘So dominant!’The bodyguards of the Bauer family were shocked silly at the sight.They didn’t expect Harvey to actually be this terrifying!Harvey instantly sent the experts flying with ease.‘Is this guy invincible?’Elanor was shivering in fear before Harvey walked over and slowly caressed her head; she managed to ca
The bodyguard was boiling with anger.“Don’t you dare slander me, you b*stard!”“If you didn’t do as you pleased and kill the bull, causing the business to plummet…”“Why would I do something like this in the first place?!”“You brought this on yourself!”Harvey smiled.“Is that so?”“These Indians are armed to the teeth with military equipment.”“Can’t you tell that something’s clearly wrong here?”“Besides, how much could they give you if they were just using a venue here for training?”“In the first place, why would you take such a big risk if you didn’t get anything yourself?”“They clearly came prepared, too.”“If I wasn’t skilled enough, everyone here besides you would’ve died.”“And if we die, all you need to do is tell Jeff that the Indians came after me for revenge and killed CEO Stanton in the crossfire after you clean up the scene a little. You’d be able to get as far away from here as possible while living your high life.”“You can try to refute me, but I don’
“Really, now?”“What? Do you actually think you’re impressive? You think you’re untouchable because of your strong background?”“Or do you think you’re a part of the Bauer family just because you have the same surname?”Harvey revealed a faint smile after hearing the man’s words.The man laughed coldly.“The Fifth Mistress should know this. Young Master Bauer himself put me here to spy on her every single move!”“Besides, I’m a distant relative of the Bauer family!”“It’s not much, but it’s still blood!”“If you touch me, not only will you lose Young Master Bauer’s trust, but you’ll also get into big trouble!”The man showed regret at this point.“I’ll admit! This was my fault.”“That said, there’s still ample time for us to play, Harvey!”“You won’t get so lucky next time!”Harvey smiled when he saw the man’s arrogant look.“Do you think you can be ignorant just because you have a bit of a connection to the Bauer family?”“Yeah! I’m Young Master Bauer’s personal guard,
Upon hearing Jeff’s words, the man with a buzzcut was filled with pride. He naturally knew that things were going to end this way.Elanor’s eyes twitched while holding the phone. She wanted to say something, but she couldn’t utter a single word.She had been extremely loyal to Jeff, but she didn’t imagine he never cared about her life at all when he was plotting against Harvey.Jeff wouldn’t even feel a thing if she died after being dragged into the crossfire…Elanor felt her heart growing colder at this very moment.“Make sure to remember who the master is?”Harvey casually grabbed Elanor’s phone. He smiled as he replied to Jeff on the other side.“Only I have the right to say that. Not you.”“So what if I beat the sh*t out of your lackey right now?”Bam!Harvey instantly sent the man flying with a single kick; the man slammed right into a wall. Nobody knew if he was alive or not after such a violent attack…Even if he was, all of his bones were definitely broken; he was de
Elanor let out a sigh. Then, she said quietly, “Young Master Bauer…”“Enough. Let’s not talk about this.”Jeff waved his hand to cut her off.“How are your injuries?”“Were you scared?”“That b*stard was one of mine, but he still tried to kill you! He deserves death!”Jeff clapped his hands. Right after that, someone handed a firearm to him.He pulled the trigger without even bothering to look at the man with the buzzcut.Blood splattered all over the place. Jeff hugged Elanor tightly, a tender look on his face.“Don’t worry. Even if he’s my trusted subordinate, I’d kill him for going against you like that!”“I’ll even kill him a thousand times over if I have to!”“I promise, nobody will be able to hurt you ever again!”Despite seeing Jeff’s attitude and decisiveness to stand up for her, Elanor didn’t feel a hint of warmth at all; a cold shiver went down her spine at that instant.She knew she was just like that man; she was only alive because she was still beautiful and
