Harvey York looked at the sight without giving a direct answer.“Thank you, Director.”The director kept slapping Rico Padlow around before he exclaimed, “Apologize to Sir York this instant!”“I’m sorry, Sir York! I’m really sorry!Cold sweat was covering his entire body while he kept bowing.“I was wrong! I’ll get everything done right now!”“While you’re kneeling,” replied Harvey.“You hear that?! Do that while you’re kneeling!”Gael Padlow could guess what had happened after hearing Harvey’s words.Gael instantly kicked Rico down while he gritted his teeth. He wanted him dead so badly at this moment.Harvey almost crippled the entire Padlow family, and yet Rico was still showing off in front of him regardless.Gael’s rage was not quelled then. Rico’s face was utterly swollen after taking a few more kicks in the face.Rico would not dare to stand, nor did he fight back. He had no other choice but to endure everything.When Rico looked like he was just about to pass out,
Harper Klein knew she was making everything complicated for Harvey York because of her inexperience.“I’m sorry for being this helpless, Sir York,” said Harper shyly.Harvey shook his head without saying anything before he left the building.As soon as he was about to call a cab, he glanced at the store at the corner of the street.Even though the store looked quite large and luxurious, it looked abandoned since the people here were not too keen on spending money.A board was placed in front of the store, saying it was also up for rental.Harvey nodded after taking a few glances at the store.“This place isn’t bad at all. We’ll definitely do great if we make this our flagship store!”Harper could tell that the store was in a strategic spot as well.“No problem! I’ll contact the property owner so we can rent the place!”“No need to rent this out. We’ll just buy it,” replied Harvey.Harper lightly bit her tongue upon realizing how deep of a pocket Harvey had.‘He does seem li
“I gave him a chance, yet he won’t cherish it!“He won’t give me a call! He didn’t even bring me a single gift!“He’s scum! He’s just some playboy!“I’ll never give this man another chance!“Who does he think he is?! All he does is hurt me!”Ellen Moreno lightly bit her lip. At this moment, she felt extremely resentful.The security guards were all trembling in fear when they saw Ellen swaying around, as if she was about to fall at any moment.After all, there were too many people who needed to take responsibility for the situation.“No!” exclaimed the security guards in unison.“You can’t do that, Ellen. What am I supposed to do without you?” said Harvey York quickly after rushing forward.“You didn’t forget, did you? Not only am I your boyfriend, but I’m also your fiance!“You can’t just jump for another man in front of me!”“What?!”The security guards were showing odd expressions after hearing Harvey’s words.They thought Ellen was just a pure and innocent woman who w
“Aaah!”“No!”The security guards screamed in fear.They could already see the image of a beautiful young woman turning into ground meat.Swoosh!Harvey York’s body moved instantaneously!He quickly stomped on the ground before he launched himself forward like an arrow!An afterimage could almost be seen. It looked like a special effect that could only be seen in movies!Right when Ellen Moreno was about to close her eyes and accept her fate, a firm grip immediately held her still, keeping her on the ground.Everything happened so fast. The security guards’ jaws immediately dropped. They could not even utter a single word because of all the shock they had to take in.Ellen instantly trembled after experiencing the life-and-death situation. She was wide awake at that point.She looked behind her with a horrified expression before turning back toward Harvey.“Thank you, Harvey!”She was not stupid. She knew she would be dead meat if not for Harvey’s help.Harvey slowly lift
In Harvey York’s mind, he wanted to buy off the store at market price to prevent any other trouble from brewing.But Ellen Moreno kept saying that her things were Harvey’s to own and that she wanted to repay him for saving her life.Along with the fact that she was Katy Cobb’s friend and they were going against the Cobb family, it was only natural for her to take action.This was when Harvey discovered that Eden Cobb was actually Ellen’s ex.While Harvey was surprised by the small world he was living in, he sat back while everything was taking its course.The basic outline of the store was quickly built. As long as the production of the medicine could keep up, the store would be up and running in no time.The Cobb family’s business was on the other side of the street. From the looks of it, it seemed like the store was about to celebrate its anniversary.If the renovation of Ellen’s store were quick enough, Katy’s business would be able to catch up to that.Word spread as soon a
“I heard that Harvey York got bailed out of the police station because of her as well.“She must be doing all this to take revenge against me.”Eden Cobb then showed a few pictures of his friend group on his phone.He pointed at the picture Ellen Moreno took intentionally to prove that he was right.“I see.Grandma Cobb felt slightly relieved.“It’s not that I like to pester you about this, Eden…“That brat is just an illegitimate child, but she’s still from the Moreno family!“Once she’s on Harvey’s side, we’ll be in a lot of trouble if they help that ungrateful granddaughter of mine go against us!“We can’t let our guard down!“If Ellen’s on their side, we’ll have to deal with another mess if their store gets popular!“The simplest way to do it is to deal with them before they become stronger!”Grandma Cobb showed an icy cold expression.Eden thought about the situation.“Are you saying…”Grandma Cobb squinted at Eden.“I know that b*stard has no right to be with you,
“Thank you for this, Ellen.Harvey York handed cigarettes to the workers before smiling at Ellen Moreno, who was excitedly taking charge as the temporary supervisor, wearing a small vest.“The store wouldn’t be up so quickly without you, Ellen,” said Harvey while handing a bottle of soda.“At least you know that. Should you treat me to a few meals then?Ellen raised her head before looking at the flagship store.“If you make me happy, I’ll get a few billboards just for you! The store will definitely blow up soon enough!”Harvey let out a chuckle.“Of course, I’d have to treat you to a meal.“That said, I can handle advertising on my own!”Harvey basically understood Ellen’s grudge against Eden.It was natural for a young master from the Cobb family and a lady from the Moreno family to be together.Harvey had no comments about Eden’s character, but it was Ellen’s freedom to choose who her man was.Brrr brrr brrr!Ellen’s phone suddenly rang.After picking up the phone for
After taking a closer look, Harvey York saw Noemi Moreno standing in the middle of those fashionable people.She was wearing an exquisite dress that showed off her pale and slender legs. It was an extremely eye-catching sight, to say the least.Along with the distinct and colorful fashionable people gathered together like ripe peaches…The men could not help but glue their eyes to the sight.It was a shame nobody dared to step up.After all, the second lady of the Moreno family was quite a prominent figure.Ordinary men would not be able to get ahold of her. Even some of the princes and young masters would be daunted by the sight.The woman was just like a rose…She seemed extremely attractive, but her thorns would start showing if anyone got a little too close to her.Without having absolute confidence, who would even dare do something like that?“Mother!”Ellen Moreno hopped her way toward her.“Hello, everyone,” she greeted respectfully.“You’re here.”Noemi pointed at
"Of course, you can. You're the leader of the Judd family!" Veronica said to Veer in a sarcastic tone. "However, to think that you've mistreated our mother… Aren't you supposed to resign already?"Veer coldly replied, "Don't worry. Even if I do resign, you won't be the next leader. So you can stop dreaming about it already."The corner of Veronica's lips twitched. She had wanted to say something else when an old man with white hair came out from the inner chamber at that moment. With a cold voice, he rebuked them, "Enough! Your mother is still unconscious in bed right now, but all of you argue amongst yourselves here. Where are your manners?"I have not been managing things for many years, but do I no longer have any influence within the family?"Veer narrowed his eyes a little when he saw the old man. Then, he stepped forward and bowed his head. "I understand, father."After seeing Veer's attitude, he turned his attention to Veronica and the others. "It's the same for all of you.
"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
