Katy instinctively looked around her.The members of the family were laughing coldly, their faces wretched and sinister.“Enough looking already, Katy. Nobody’s going to believe that filth…” Eden said slowly.“Only someone as naive as you can believe that a useless kept man can do something like this,” Valery exclaimed arrogantly.The elder with a goatee sighed.“Wake up, Katy. That’s enough dreaming.”Katy was utterly heartbroken. She had done her very best for her family for the longest time; yet nobody was standing by her side, nor did they believe Harvey’s ability to do anything.She stumbled back, her face pale. Harvey quickly held Katy before she fell and whispered worriedly, “You okay?”“I’m fine.”Katy took a deep breath to steady herself. Then, she looked at Grandma Cobb with a bitter expression.“Are you really not going to believe your own granddaughter, Grandma Cobb?”Naturally, Katy still held hope for her family.“How do you still not understand this?!”Gra
The entire family spoke up instantly; they knew that the family would greatly benefit if Katy actually listened and married Gael.Katy’s feelings had absolutely nothing to do with them, anyway.The family believed that as long as the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance sided with them, they would be in an extremely good position.Even without maintaining their position as one of the South Sea’s great families, they’d still be able to live without worry for the next few years of their lives.At this moment, Katy’s feelings meant nothing to them.They didn’t care how she would end up, either.They were already prepared to send Katy right to Gael’s bed after thinking about the benefits that they would get.Upon feeling everyone’s hostility, Eden laughed haughtily.“The family thinks you should marry Young Master Padlow. What else can you say in front of the family who raised you?”After seeing the family’s wretched expressions, Katy was reminded of the time when she was forced i
‘We’re not worthy?!’The crowd froze; a split second later, they burst out laughing.They glared disdainfully at Harvey, thinking he was just an idiot for saying something like that.Hundreds of people stood with the Cobb family, while Katy was all alone.‘He dares to call us unworthy when he’s all alone?’‘Is he actually insane?’Everyone looked at Harvey as if they were looking at an idiot; a sane person wouldn’t say something like that, after all.The ladies of the Cobb family narrowed their eyes as they glared at Harvey. Right after that, they burst out laughing while shaking their heads.It was the first time in their lives seeing someone this ignorant.In the family’s eyes, Harvey was nothing more than a clown.Katy froze and she looked at Harvey with a shocked expression; she didn’t know what he meant at all.Harvey only kept on smiling.“Katy, a family’s existence doesn’t rely on numbers. It depends on how strong an individual is.”“Since nobody here has the right
Harvey ignored the inspector and glanced calmly at Grandma Cobb.“Just you wait, Grandma Cobb.”“This had nothing to do with me in the first place, but…”“You forced my friend into marriage, tried to poison Elder Cobb, then got me to stay behind bars.”“I’ll remember all this.”Harvey’s face was grim. “When I get out of the police station, I’ll pay you back a hundredfold.”“I’ll make sure your family dies, and I’ll make you break Eden’s legs as an apology!”Harvey had no interest in dealing with filth like Eden on his own.It would be best for Harvey to take his time taking revenge against a family like the Cobbs.“You want Grandma Cobb to break my legs?! What the hell are you even saying right now?”Eden scoffed, haughty.“You should think of a way to get out of jail instead!”“You’ll finally understand the consequences of going against the Cobb family after that!”Grandma Cobb sat calmly on her chair, and slammed her cane at the ground.“You’ll be kneeling in front o
Harvey couldn’t help but scoff after seeing the serious look on the bald inspector’s face.He finally understood that this place was completely lawless; he knew fairness and justice didn’t apply here, either.That said, he wouldn’t feel any regret if he used some of his connections later.“Are you toying with me?!”The bald inspector felt humiliated after seeing Harvey’s mocking look.He slammed the table, furious.“I’m warning you, b*stard! This place is all about being fair and just!”“I’ll sue you for slander if you keep running your mouth!”Harvey smiled.“Fine. I’ve been waiting for those exact words anyway.”“If I told you that I only fought back after the Cobb family took action first, would you believe me?”The inspectors looked at each other, then scoffed.“The Cobb family’s one of the South Sea’s great families. The family’s filled with outstanding people!”“Why would they throw hands against an outsider like you?”“They did this to force Katy Cobb to marry Gael
Ellen almost got taken advantage of by Jace after he forced her to get drunk, but Harvey saved her. Since then, the two had never met.Even though Ellen was in a drunken state back then, she knew for sure that Harvey was her savior.Ellen’s gaze toward Harvey was completely different than before; she no longer looked down on him anymore.The woman beside her was clad in business attire and a pair of golden-framed glasses; she looked to be in her forties, but her slender body and exquisite face were still quite apparent.That said, she appeared aloof and distant; ordinary men wouldn’t even be able to raise their heads when facing her. “Hello.”Ellen nodded at the two inspectors before walking toward Harvey with a confused expression.“Why are you here, Harvey?”“This is Harvey, Mother. He’s the one who beat up everyone just to save me.”Ellen hadn’t contacted Katy after being discharged, so she didn’t know anything that happened in the Cobb family.The round-faced inspector c
‘Boyfriend?’‘Fiance?’Harvey almost choked on his coffee after hearing those words.The two high and mighty inspectors looked at Harvey, utterly shocked.They kept sizing him up, but they couldn’t see anything special in him.They didn’t think Harvey had the right to cling onto both the Cobb family and the Moreno family, either.Noemi froze. A second later, a gloomy look settled on her face.“I don’t care if he’s your man or your friend. You can’t just protect someone who’s being charged with a crime!”Naturally, Noemi’s position within the family was quite awkward; she seemed high and mighty on the outside, but she was quite methodical with everything she did. She wouldn't let other people from the family find anything to criticize her.Ellen flashed her mother a resentful look. Then, she looked at Harvey.“Harvey! Tell them that you’re being wronged! A good man like you wouldn’t just beat people up whenever you want.”“Even if you did do that, I’m sure you have a reason f
Harvey looked calmly at the round-faced inspector.“If the two ladies weren’t here, could you have guaranteed nobody was going to destroy the evidence on the spot?”The round-faced inspector froze. Right after that, she instinctively looked at the bald inspector.The bald inspector glared furiously at Harvey, and hung his head low.After Harvey showed solid proof of his innocence, and along with the Moreno family’s support, the police could no longer detain him. Half an hour later, Harvey left without a single scratch.Harvey could’ve easily left the place without the mother and daughter’s help, but he still showed the two a sincere look to thank them.“Mrs. Cobb, Ellen, thank you.”“I’ll remember your favor. I’ll treat you to a meal when I have the time!”Ellen flashed him a warm smile.“I’ll be your shield in Blackburn City from now on, Harvey!”“My mother’s the second lady of the Moreno family, one of the South Sea’s great families. With her around, there’s nothing that
