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
Ellen Moreno was a little worried. She knew that her mother despised people like Harvey York…But she was the one who dragged him here in the first place.It was extremely disrespectful of Noemi Moreno to leave Harvey like this.That said, Ellen had no way to speak up on an occasion like this.After ten minutes or so, the conversation finally ended.Noemi showed a faint smile when she glanced at Harvey. After looking at the Cartier Balloon Bleu watch on her wrist, she squinted at Harvey with a playful look.A few others glanced at him with disdainful and arrogant gazes as well.“I managed to figure out my body’s problem because of you last time.“I’ll properly thank you for that,” thanked Noemi calmly.She was acting as if her lungs failing was not that big of a problem in the first place.This was only natural. With her family’s status, it would not be hard for her to be properly treated as long as she did not stress herself.She thought that Harvey only got lucky. She also
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
"Ha… I'm the director of the precinct in the Third Ring, and I'm not worth your time?" Garrick was so angry that he was laughing. "You made yourself sound like you're someone very capable. Come on, show me just how capable you are right now!"Garrick immediately grabbed his phone and tossed it at Harvey. "Come on, make a call! If you can find someone who can overpower me, I'll bend my knee right now."The other two officers also looked at Harvey as if they were looking like a fool. "Forget the fact that you're just an ex-live-in son-in-law… Even if you really did become a CEO through your own abilities, what is there to be proud of?" the female officer said with a smirk. In her eyes, Harvey was just a loser. If a man like him wanted to pursue her, he would have already kicked him to the rub.Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately picked up the phone, giving Eliel Braff a call. Very quickly, the call came through and a stern voice came from the other side. "Who is thi
"Your deduction is quite interesting. Sounds like a detective show, to be honest," Harvey said calmly. "Unfortunately, I have a clear conscience. Why should I admit to a crime I never committed?""Not you?" The female officer slammed the table again. "If you didn't do it, why are you so willing to cooperate with us? You're telling me it isn't because you're feeling guilty? Harvey York, you have to understand that the crime you committed is very serious, especially when the person you killed is from Country A!"If the Embassy sends a specialist to interfere with this investigation, you're going to be in trouble. You better confess when the precinct can still help you. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing you can change no matter how much you regret it in the future."Their phones would buzz every once in a while, which meant new information coming in. From the new information, not only was Harvey the live-in son-in-law of the Jeans of Mordu, one of the top ten families, but he was a
"A lawyer?" Garrick scoffed. "Forget about a lawyer, it's pointless even if you find a wizard! I've already read your information. The CEO of Sky Corporation? Maybe in other cities, the CEO of a public company deserves some respect, but don't forget that this is Wolsing, the country's seat of power! There are plenty of CEOs walking around here!"When you're in Wolsing, it doesn't matter who you are, or what kind of special identity you have. Those who commit crimes here will be punished! You won't be given any special treatment!"Garrick then looked at Harvey as if he had an advantage over him. "Confess the crimes you've committed! That way, I can grant you some leeway. Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible death!"Harvey merely looked at Garrick briefly and said, "You didn't interrogate me, and you didn't show me any evidence. All you do is to tell me to confess. I must say, you're quite tough. But aren't you afraid of accidentally offending the wrong people here in Wolsing, especial
Yvonne frowned slightly when she realized what Garrick meant. "Director, my boss isn't a suspect. He's only here…""Whether he's a suspect or not isn't up to you or me. It's up to the law and the evidence," Garrick said, glaring at Yvonne. His gaze became somewhat sleazy, and he began to scheme how he could use this scenario to throw this beautiful woman into his bed.He continued to say righteously, "Ma'am, I'm warning you. You better not interrupt our investigation. Of course, if you have something to say, you can always lodge a complaint to the office."After that, he waved his hand, and the two officers behind him led Harvey into the interrogation room. Seeing what had happened, Yvonne hesitated a little before sending out a message quickly on her phone.This was something quite serious. If Harvey went in because of this, it would be quite troublesome for the Xavier family as well. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be convenient for the Xaviers to do anything…Meanwhile, Harvey w
Following the angry, booming voice, three people in uniform walked over.The one leading was an overweight man wearing a cap. His face was a little pale because he had been indulging himself for an extended time. The man behind him was tall and handsome, while the woman was elegant. Both the man and woman were in uniform, and they took in the chaos with a stern expression.The one who spoke was the one in the lead.All the men and women gave each other a look and stepped forward at the same time."Director Braff! You have to do us justice!""Director Braff! The specialist from the Country A embassy will give you a call very soon! You have to do this fairly!""Director Braff! There are about 80 thousand to 10 thousand citizens of Country A in Wolsing! You can't ignore our request!""Director Braff! You're a good friend of our country! All of your children are studying in our country! You definitely know how we treat our friends, right?"When the men and women spoke, some of them
Harvey's expression changed slightly after he heard that. After he had finished questioning both Gin and Morganna, he let them go. His aim was simple—he wanted to use them as bait.While it wasn't exactly effective, it was better than nothing.He didn't expect them to die in less than a day, with all the evidence pointed at him. At that moment, Harvey was so speechless, he felt like looking up into the sky.Before the precinct looked for him, Harvey went to the police station in the Third Ring. He had just entered the door when dozens of men in suits approached him with a pretentious aura."That's him! He's the murderer!""He silenced Gin and Morgana when they're just going to the hospital for an interview!""I heard he even offered them money and killed them when the bribery didn't succeed!"The people yelled at Harvey, revealing the crimes he committed. They took out the phone from their pockets, about to take a video of him.If Harvey were a normal person, he would have al
Half an hour later, Harvey and Yvonne enjoyed hot tea in the hospital meeting room.After finishing her cup, Yvonne sighed and said, "I underestimated Linus. While he was in prison and couldn't leave, I never expected that he could make something up like this. Claiming that I and the Islanders were colluding while the family's leader is sick so that I can take all the Xaviers' assets for myself."If the two of them really did publish an article like that with the photos they got, then I would never be able to prove my innocence. Thank you, Harvey."Yvonne sighed. Things would not have ended so smoothly if Harvey had not been around today. Since someone like Gin and Morganna were very pretentious. As long as their weaknesses were not exposed, they would never be able to get the truth out of them no matter how much they threatened the two."You focused on the wrong thing," Harvey said. "Whether Linus ordered the reporters or the reporters wanted to assassinate your character, both ha
Whoosh!A pebble shot out from the floor and immediately hit Gin on his wrist. Because of the pain, the revolver almost fell on the floor as he lost his grip.Two of the security guards saw their chance and quickly ran over. One grabbed the revolver away, and the other immediately captured the other two. Shortly, both Gin and Morganna were brought to the security room. Their IDs were also found."Oh, you two are reporters from Country A? Good, good!" Yvonne looked at the ID written in a foreign language. "I didn't expect reporters from Country A to come and spy on the health of my family members. You must have a lot of free time. Or… Did Linus send you?"Both Gin and Morganna's expressions turned into shock, but Morganna coldly said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Linus, Linas, they have nothing to do with me. All I know is that you're going to pay a price for imprisoning us here, and I know you're not brave enough to kill us!""That's right!" Gin commented with a cold e
