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
“It’s fine if we leave, Sir York, but we really can’t bring all this with us. The workers can’t stand the weather, either. If we don’t find a storage place for everything, it’ll all be useless!”The disciples of Longmen’s Hong Kong and Las Vegas branches who came all the way here were heartbroken as they looked at the materials and the medicine.For the past few days, they put all their heart and soul into this.Harvey thought about the situation for a while.“Harper, take the workers to see if there are any other places for us to rent.”“It doesn’t matter how expensive they are. It’ll be better if we can buy it.”Ellen said that everyone had to leave the store on the same day, but it shouldn’t be a problem even if they didn’t make it past midnight.Harper quickly ran out with a few workers in tow.Harvey crossed his legs and sat in front of the store, looking calm all the way.Half an hour passed soon after.Harper came back with a horrible look, panting profusely.“Sir Yor
After hesitating for an entire night, Ellen finally decided not to hold back since Harvey didn’t appreciate her favors.Early in the following morning, she took Eden and a huge group of people to the renovated store to see if Harvey and the others were already gone or not.Other than the products and materials, everything else was still in the same spot. Ellen felt a little upset at seeing that.Soon after, they noticed a small store beside the office building.“Huh? Look there! Looks like Harvey York opened up a new store.”“He must be selling sham goods or something!”“It’s such a small place, and it was renovated thirty years ago. The walls are completely black, too!”“Even the store Ellen renovated is completely inferior compared to the Cobb family’s store, let alone this one!”“He didn’t go insane after all that suffering, right? Why would he open up a store like this?”“Are you sure you’re using this place to build up your business?”“Are you sure you can do anything to
Noemi slowly walked toward Harvey and looked at him with a bossy expression.Naturally, she knew everything that had happened the day before; that included Ellen getting back with Eden.For her daughter, this was the best place to be in.Not only was Noemi here to disrespect Harvey, but she was also here to stand up for Ellen and Eden.“How does it feel, Harvey?”“Now, are you starting to regret not heeding my warnings?”“If you didn’t have ulterior motives in the first place—if you didn’t try to take advantage of my daughter to climb the ranks, maybe you could’ve become her subordinate by now.”“You wouldn’t have to leave the store, and you’d probably have all of the Moreno family’s support.”“It’s a shame your greed got ahead of you. All you think about is climbing ranks!”Noemi’s elegant face leaned toward Harvey as she whispered nastily, “It’s a little too late for regret now.”“The high-end office building and the extravagant store have nothing to do with you now.”“All
“Naive?”Looking at the charming woman in front of him, Harvey smiled faintly. “CEO Moreno, people have always failed to recognize the things outside of their knowledge.”“You’re talking real big right now, but aren’t you scared you’d get completely disrespected again like last time?”“Don’t you understand that the effectiveness of the medicine is the reason they sell?”“The ones the Cobb family are making right now can’t even compare to most of the medicine on the market right now.”“Do you think it’s that hard for me to crush a business like that?”“Maybe the time I’m open for business is when I lead the business to become a living legend!”“Heh, heh, heh! I admire your naivety, Harvey.”Noemi showed a mocking look on her face and crossed her arms, pushing out her delightful cleavage.“You’re quite experienced—you have a few tricks up your sleeve, but that doesn’t mean that you know the business.”“You should really order a few flower baskets at least. It’ll be embarrassi
Harvey completely ignored Noemi and the others, and casually left the place after giving instructions to the workers.This whole event was about Katy, so he decided to go to her temporary place of stay.Julian was the one who arranged the villa located in the suburbs.Not just Katy; Dean, who was still extremely weak, was resting here as well.Many security guards were in charge of the place. Thus, Harvey felt at ease here.After heading into the main hall, Harvey saw Katy happily humming a song while cutting some vegetables in the open kitchen.Harvey narrowed his eyes at the sight; he didn’t think he’d see the bloodthirsty head of the South Sea Gang emanate such a feminine aura.As the sun went down, her elegant and tender figure could be seen clearly; any man wouldn’t hesitate to wrap their arms around her.Harvey let out a sigh to stop his heart from pounding hard, and then knocked on the marble wall.“You’re here?”Katy showed a warm smile upon seeing Harvey.“I heard y
"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
