Gael Padlow felt utterly embarrassed as he gritted his teeth.“You better think this through, Katy Cobb! At this point, your grandfather’s no different than a cripple!“Your position as the leader of the head house might not last long!“You only have the right to say all this because there are many people who are pursuing you right now! The Cobb family isn’t brave enough to cut you out of the family, either!“If everything you say were to spread, without those young masters’ support…“What kind of authority would you hold within the family?“How long do you think you can keep putting up this facade?“Are you sure you’re able to keep this man safe?”Gael was furious, but he still managed to keep his cool.He would not believe that Katy would cast away her family’s safety because of some man.After all, this was never about fear at all. This was about worth.“I’ll say this now and say it again in the future…” exclaimed Katy coldly.“Even if the entire Cobb family was here, I’
Gael Padlow showed a horrible expression when Katy Cobb completely maltreated the exchange student.He knew that he had no chance against Harvey York that day.“I admit defeat, Harvey, but there’s always plenty of time!“This woman can’t protect you forever!“I do want to see how long you’ll last like this!”He glared at Harvey while chuckling coldly, then slowly walked away.Nellie Padlow and the others scoffed.‘This outsider thinks he’s impressive just because he’s being kept by that woman…’‘There’s always time for him to suffer his fate anyway.’“Hold it!Harvey spoke up after being silent for a long while.“Did I say that any of you can leave?”Harvey’s invisible aura could be felt enveloping the entire place.He knew it would be best if he got Katy to protect him…But he finally managed to figure out her situation while listening in from the side.Judging from his way of doing things, he would not let Katy suffer for his personal gain.Everyone was showing odd lo
Nellie Padlow covered her face while she stood beside Gael Padlow.“You better know what’s best for yourself, Harvey York!“We’re already letting you off the hook for Ms. Cobb’s sake! We’re giving you a way out right now!“How dare you still ask for more?! You won’t like it if we do actually go all out against each other!”Nellie was filled with utter resentment.Not only did Harvey keep disrespecting him, he even managed to get away scot-free while slapping her around nonstop.For a prideful woman like Nellie, this was just unacceptable.After seeing Harvey recklessly challenging Gael, Nellie finally could no longer hold her feelings back.She hated kept men like Harvey the most.She believed he was just using Katy Cobb’s authority to show off!In Nellie’s mind, Harvey was no match compared to someone like Gael!She was sure Harvey would have died a thousand times already if he did not manage to hook up with Katy.“You want me to stop?”Harvey smiled faintly. He thought t
Boom!Gael Padlow was also a member of the Martial Arts Alliance. His teacher came from the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance, and his father was the vice leader of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance.Not only was his family extremely knowledgeable in martial arts, but he was also quite a gifted man.As soon as he closed in on Harvey York, he instantly threw an immensely terrifying and fierce punch.The shame he endured because of Katy Cobb was all converted into energy that he dished out toward Harvey.According to his judgment, he was sure that every single one of Harvey’s bones would shatter, even if he did not die from the punch.“Die already!”Gael wretchedly chuckled when he pounced forward at lightning speed.The punch alone could kill a bull!To Nellie Padlow and the others, Harvey was scared witless.“You see that, Ms. Cobb?!“This is the man you chose. This is the Cobb family’s live-in son-in-law!“Other than a sharp tongue, what else can this man do?“He’s j
Gael Padlow’s face turned dark in an instant.“I’m Gael Padlow! I belong to the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance!“My teacher is the vice leader of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance!“You’ll die for doing this to me!“You shall pay!”Gael spoke up when he was lying on the ground, paralyzed.Bam!“Move.Harvey York instantly kicked Gael aside. His body flew right into a wall before he passed out with blood spurting out of his mouth.“I don’t care who you have behind you. I don’t care what kind of power you have, either.Harvey stepped forward before patting Gael’s pale face.“I’m giving you one chance. Suspend the business.“If I find out that you’re here cheating money again, then don’t blame me for what happens next.”***Nellie Padlow and the others were completely ignored.Harvey kicked the disciples aside before getting in Katy Cobb’s car while keeping Ellen Moreno safe.Then, Katy drove over to the hospital under her family’s name. After sending Ellen to the
Katy Cobb showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes before she cracked a smile again.“I didn’t believe it when people said you were a jerk…“Now, I’m pretty sure that you’re exactly that.“You’re already gone as soon as you’re done playing. You’re completely hopeless.”Harvey York’s mouth twitched. He did not know what to say against Katy’s relentless flirting.After all, it’s always the hardest to accept a beauty’s grace.Harvey would not dare go against the love of such a domineering person.Harvey had no other choice but to change the subject.“Judging from the conversation between you and Gael Padlow, your family must be in deep trouble right now.“Other than the South Sea’s royal family, the three great families have the most extraordinary background.”Katy had no intention of hiding anything from Harvey.“Other than that, the high and mighty Martial Arts Alliance, the first and second-rated families, along with some of the small forces here, have been causing chaos
Harvey York showed a profound expression on his face before he lightly chuckled.“Is it really that bad? Are you not even confident enough to keep me here?“Or are you saying you don’t want to share your earnings with me when everything’s all set and done?”“It’s not that it’s bad. I know you don’t like getting yourself in trouble,” replied Katy Cobb while looking at Harvey.“I’m already really grateful for you treating my grandfather’s wounds.“I shouldn’t be asking for more help.“Here are three first-class tickets for the plane tomorrow at eight in the morning.“I’ll invite you here again when everything’s settled. I’ll make sure to treat you kindly when the time comes.”Then, Katy set a letter in front of Harvey and looked deep into Harvey’s eyes before leaving.Harvey put his hand on the letter as he showed a faint smile behind Katy’s back.“Things are getting interesting. I’ll visit Elder Cobb tomorrow morning. If nothing’s going on, I’ll head back after that…”Harvey
“You offended Young Master Padlow just for the sake of a random stranger?”“And then you say he’s the family’s live-in son-in-law?”“How shameless can you get?”“Don’t you care about the family’s reputation?!” Eden screamed in rage.“Don’t you know that we’ve become Blackburn City’s biggest joke, all because of you?!”Eden couldn’t stop himself from rising and slapping Katy in the face.Katy couldn’t react quickly enough, and felt a sharp pain soon after.A bright red palm print could be seen clearly on her elegant, yet swollen face.Valery and several elders didn’t stop Eden at all; they expressed glee when they saw Katy slapped in the face.“I can handle my own problems. I don’t need you to teach me how to do things.”Katy endured the pain and rage in her, and took a deep breath; she knew her actions would definitely give the second and third house a reason to come at her…Still, she didn’t think that Eden and the others would be this quick to take action.“We’re not teac
"It's your choice whether to believe it or not," said Harvey casually."Oh, come on," laughed Veer. "Since we've invited you all the way here, of course we believe you. Let's see… Please come this way."Then, Veer gestured and led him deeper into the estate. Harvey did not refuse and narrowed his eyes as he looked into the sky. He could already see a dark cloud gathering on top of the estate.In another courtyard, there was a huge lawn where a helicopter had landed. It was enough to show just how much wealth the Judd family had. But when Veer saw the helicopter, he was slightly surprised and asked, "Why is he back home?""He?" Harvey was quite curious. Veer was the leader of the Judd family. Could it be that someone else scared him within the family?When Veer saw Harvey's expression, he explained, "You probably didn't know this, but despite being the leader of the Judds of Wolsing, my father still has authority over me. However, he has been training in isolation all these years i
After a brief hesitation, Veer slowly spoke to Harvey. "Well… Let's start after you helped us deal with the problem haunting my mother. After that, all the seniors of the Judd family believed that there were some issues with the geomancy of this place. So, we were thinking of finding a new place to call home."However, the Judds are a big family. We have to make arrangements for many things. If we simply moved to another place, some might think that the Judd family is starting to fall. That's why we had to give up on moving, which meant the only other option left for us was to adjust the geomancy of this place."If you had asked me then, I would have asked you to help us with this since we shouldn't ask two persons to deal with the same problem. However, many elders rejected my proposal, saying you're too young and inexperienced."Ultimately, we asked Wolsing's top geomancer, Master Eridan, who has long stopped seeing any guests, to help us. Initially, everything went well. But afte
Veer cleared his throat and said, "Firstly, allow me to apologize on behalf of my nephew. He already informed me about Nelly and is now kneeling inside our estate's chapel. As he said, he will repent for three days and nights. Since he can't leave at the moment, he asked me to send you his apologies. "Other than apologizing for my nephew, please allow me to apologize to you on behalf of the Judds of Wolsing. The reason for all of this is because we aren't strict enough with our education and discipline. I swear in my family's name that things like this won't ever happen again in the future. We will also take full responsibility for cleaning up all the despicable acts that happen in the entertainment industry within Judd Entertainment."Veer was unsure how to feel when he said something like that. How could he not know that the sons of the Judd family had other women outside? But the problem was, it was fine for them to keep other women. But why did they allow those women to provoke
Harvey squinted his eyes and whispered to Marlee, "I don't know who your family has invited to change the geographical features of your estate, but the worst thing he did was to move away the two statues at the gate."If I'm right, your grandmother's condition has already stabilized initially. After changing the geological features, she should be pretty energetic as well. However, she is starting to feel a little numb after the two statues have been moved. "In the beginning, all of you thought it was just because she was getting older. You also started to feel something was wrong during these few days, right?"Marlee was a little shocked. "Why does it feel like you've witnessed the entire thing?"Then, Harvey explained, "Everything leaves a trace, and it's the same for geomancy. Don't tell me you think I won't be able to see something has changed when you move the two statues that protect the fortune of your entire family?"If you ask me, the geomancer you've hired is either not
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
