“You shouldn’t be that reckless, Harvey.”After seeing Eden’s bright red neck, Ellen was heartbroken; she couldn’t help but chide Harvey angrily.“Eden’s a young master who’s used to being pampered. He isn’t like you; you’re used to things like this since you were a kid.”“You almost killed him just now. You were being too harsh on him!”Harvey smiled calmly.“He insulted my country and took action first. I only defended myself.”“So what if he did? He wasn’t insulting you! That doesn’t even matter!”“Besides, you were the one who provoked him and said that he wasn’t worthy to fight you!”“Eden wouldn’t say things like that if that wasn’t the case.”“He’s been living a pampered life; he’s used to everyone spoiling him! He only got a little reckless after you challenged him! That was why he did and said those things!”“He isn’t what you think he is…”“So you’re saying it was my fault?”Harvey sighed. He was staring at a woman who had finally lost herself.“You’re saying tha
“I’m fine, Ellen. I almost died, and my face and neck are hurting like Hell!”Eden was actual scum; he could clearly tell that Ellen was getting soft.He didn’t keep going against Harvey; instead, he used the opportunity to hold onto Ellen’s soft hand with a miserable look.“Did you know? All this pain is still nothing compared to the pain of losing you!”“If you forgive me, I’d be willing to get beaten to death or crippled, let alone endure this kind of pain!”“You’re extremely important to me!”Eden’s acting was immaculate.“Please give me another chance, Ellen!” he exclaimed.“My brother challenged that man for you even though he knew that he was a savage, Ellen!” Valery added quickly.“He still gave his all to fight, even if he knew that he was going to lose! Can’t you see how brave he is?”“Look at him!”“My brother’s been pampered his entire life!”“And yet, he was willing to give up his life just for you! Are you still not going to forgive him after this?”“A man is
Harvey looked at Ellen’s miserable expression, and nodded.None of this mattered to him, anyway.Ellen let out a sigh of relief after receiving Harvey’s answer.“I’m happy I got to know you, Harvey,” she said seriously.“I’m thankful you’ve been by my side as well.”“That said, I still want to be together with Eden.”She then walked toward Eden before putting on the Pigeon Egg Ring, a faint smile on her face.“If you do anything out of hand from now on, Eden, then don’t blame me for what happens next!”She then leaned into Eden’s arms with a fulfilled expression.“I got it!” Eden cried.“I’ll do everything my princess says!”Eden completely ignored the pain on his face before sweeping Ellen off the ground and kissing her cheeks.He then glared at Harvey, as if he had already won.‘Why’s a kept man like him trying to go against the young master of the Cobb family?’‘What a joke!’‘Doesn’t he know his limits?’Eden was planning to slap Harvey around to vent his anger afte
“Leave! We don’t welcome you here!”Eden had a prideful look when he saw Harvey’s “miserable” expression.“For Ellen’s sake, I’ll let you off the hook for now!”“That said, don’t blame me for what happens tomorrow!”Harvey glanced at Ellen without saying a word; he wasn’t going to go after Eden for her sake, but…If Eden was going to cause more trouble, Harvey wouldn’t mind dealing with Eden.“Harvey, wait!”When Harvey was about to leave, Ellen remembered something important.She waved her hand to gather the crowd. There was a brief hesitation on her face, but it was soon replaced with determination.“Eden’s my boyfriend. You’re a good friend of mine, Harvey, and so is Katy!”“I know you and Katy don’t think too well of the Cobb family. I know you’re planning to open up your business to go against them when they’re celebrating their anniversary.”“I know that you gave Katy the original formula for the Cobb family’s Silver Elixir, too…”“But for my sake, can you settle this
Harvey calmly rejected Eden’s offer.After hearing the obedient man daring to fight back…Ellen’s exquisite face darkened, and she frowned.She gritted her teeth and shouted at Harvey.“Since you’re being so heartless, Harvey! Fine… Since you won’t pay me any respect, then don’t blame me for what happens next!”“You won’t be getting the office building or my company’s help anymore!”“Tell your people to take everything away tomorrow—no, right now!”“I’ll smash up the entire place too! You won’t get anything from me!”“After all, I have to help my boyfriend and my future family. I can’t side with an enemy!”‘Take everything away?’‘Smash up the entire place?’Harvey stopped in his tracks, and shot Ellen a mystified look. After everything he had done for her, he thought she wouldn’t come to this…And yet, immediately after getting back together with Eden, she said all that without hesitation.Harvey smiled faintly at her. “Are you sure you want me to do that?”“Are you su
Harvey let out a sigh.In his eyes, Ellen was a reasonable person.Thus, he didn’t think that she could turn out like this for Eden’s sake.She was trying to take advantage of Harvey, yet she acted as if she was scolding him on her moral high ground.Harvey didn’t even know what to say.“I understand what you’re saying. I know the value of the formula!”Ellen’s pride rose up to greater heights after she was disrespected by Harvey; she had an extremely horrible look on her face.“That said, you should know that the formula in your hands still belongs to the Cobb family!”“Don’t you understand how shameless you are for stealing that formula and demanding money for it?!”“That’s right!” Eden exclaimed coldly.“Our formula was stolen forty years ago! I suspect that you were the thief from back then!”“If you don’t give us the formula, I’ll make you live the rest of your life behind bars!”“You hear that, Harvey? He’ll call the cops at any moment!” Ellen said earnestly.“You’re
“I’m giving you two hours! Clean everything up till then!”“Even if I smash up the entire store, I won’t let you use it!” Ellen exclaimed through gritted teeth.Eden burst out laughing.“You can’t be so wasteful, Ellen!”“Just give that to the family. We were planning to open up a massive flagship store, anyway.”“When that happens, you should come host the anniversary. We’ll show the entire city who the happiest couple here is!”Eden glared pridefully at Harvey.‘How dare a country bumpkin from Country H even go against me?!’ he thought angrily. ‘Does he have a death wish?!’Ellen glared at Harvey. She wanted to see how he’d react—she wanted to see if he was going to get angry or resentful about it.“Fine,” Harvey said calmly.He turned around and left right after.He didn’t even try to stall anybody. The way he acted made it seem as if Ellen and Eden were talking to a brick wall—it was a completely useless conversation.Ellen froze.She thought Harvey would show his true
Ellen nodded after hearing Eden’s words.If Harvey really had that formula, he would’ve been filthy rich by now! Why open up a shop with Katy in the first place?More importantly, Katy had been absent the entire time.Maybe Harvey was bluffing about opening up the store as well. Maybe he was just trying to grab Ellen’s attention so he could use her to make a comeback.After losing the chance, Harvey had no option but to leave with a broken heart. Ellen would probably not see his face ever again.Without hesitating, Ellen caressed Eden’s face with a tender look.“I’m sorry, Eden. You got hurt so badly because of me…”“This is nothing.”“For you, this pain means nothing. This is the symbol of my love for you!”“After this, we’ll love each other even more!”Eden flashed her a sad smile.“I won’t cause any more trouble to Harvey for your sake. The Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance, on the other hand…”“No matter what, I’m still a part of the organization. Harvey even beat me
"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
