Harvey York squinted. It was a big day, so he could not be bothered to argue against Ellen Moreno.“Drink some water and get more rest while you still can,” said Harvey, looking at Katy Cobb and the others.“We won’t get time for that once the guests arrive.”Then, Harvey poured himself another cup of tea before taking a sip.Ellen and the others stumbled for a bit before looking back at Harvey with utter disbelief.Everyone showed playful and distant smiles, as if they were looking at the clown.They had seen a lot of shameless and ridiculous people, but it was rare for them to see someone like Harvey!‘Not a single customer could be seen, not a single flower basket is taking up space, yet he still has the face to say things like that!’‘How shameless can he get?!’“Tch tch tch! This is getting a little too much, don’t you think?”Grandma Cobb, Eden Cobb, and Valery Cobb walked over with a group of people after seeing Ellen and the others.They immediately scoffed when they
Vroom!Along with the loud sounds of engines revving, a Maybach slowly parked on the street.Right when Grandma Cobb and the others were about to welcome their new guest with a smile, they just realized that there were already no parking spots left for their event.The Maybach was parked right in front of Harvey’s store.Soon after, five men and women walked out of the car.Their clothes were exquisite. Every single one of their movements exuded the auras of elites and upperclassmen.The leading person was none other than Yvonne Xavier.Ray Hart was following closely behind her.Grandma Cobb and the others froze before they showed faces full of shock.There were already reports of Yvonne and Ray in the city for a few days. That was why everyone recognized the two prominent figures of Country H.That said, Grandma Cobb believed she and her family had no right to invite those two!They were not worthy enough just yet!‘Did Noemi get them here?!’After hearing that the Moreno
Yvonne Xavier and Ray Hart did not even bat an eye at Noemi Moreno. They immediately walked past her without even bothering to answer her question.Casually ignoring someone like that was clearly an act of silent ridicule.When the two walked toward Harvey York, Yvonne showed a faint smile while Ray showed a respectful expression.“It’s been a while.”Harvey and Yvonne lightly wrapped their arms around each other.The simple movement and Yvonne’s exquisite face were enough for Ellen Moreno to change her expression. She did not even know how to feel at that point.She could not wrap her head around why women like Katy Cobb and Yvonne would treat Harvey with such respect!After all, he was just a man she had cast aside!Harvey glanced at Ray before calmly saying, “You should probably figure out who you’re working with first next time.“After all, we don’t want any random person to get up in our business.”Ray lightly nodded.“You’re right about that. I couldn’t stop certain pe
“I didn’t think you’d care about me this much to get these prominent figures here!“It’s a shame that their identities and statuses are just too high.“You have no right to even have their company here either! This act is just completely out of place!“We can clearly tell these two are just here for show!“At least be honest about it! Just say the word if you can’t get anyone here!“There’s no need to pretend! Nobody knows just how many times you have to kneel for them even to come here!“You only asked for fifteen million dollars? Why not ask for at least 1.5 billion?Ellen Moreno raised her head with a disdainful glare.“Other than these two, I can guarantee nobody else will be coming to your store’s opening!“If there are any, I’ll eat up the sign right now!”Ellen then pointed at Harvey York’s sign with a playful expression.Noemi Moreno was starting to get a little irritated.“Ellen! You can’t just accuse Secretary Xavier and CEO Ray of that!“They’re just soft-hearte
Ellen Moreno looked prideful when she glared at Harvey York.To Ellen, Mr. Finley’s worth was immense compared to Yvonne Xavier and Ray Hart, after all.“Welcome, Mr. Finley! Thank you for gracing us with your visit!”Noemi Moreno and Ellen followed behind with gentle smiles and rising egos hidden in their hearts.After all, having connections with Mr. Finley was a symbol of one’s status in the city.“Oh, Grandma Cobb, CEO Moreno. Congratulations.Mr. Finley felt a little annoyed after having his path blocked off, but he still showed a gentle smile like a true gentleman.“Keep up the good work.”Grandma Cob and the others burst out laughing after hearing Mr. Finley’s words.“Thank you for your support! It really means a lot to us!”“Ellen! Eden! Quickly! Mr. Finley has a gift for us!” exclaimed Noemi quickly after seeing a gift box in his hands.“It’d be embarrassing for him to hold it for so long!”Ellen and Eden Cobb excitedly reached out for the gift box.After all, in
Even a person like Noemi Moreno, who could keep herself calm at any moment, instinctively trembled. She could feel immense pressure crushing her at this very moment.If the Silver Elixir actually had the chance to sell abroad, it would be an extremely lethal blow to the Cobb family.Grandma Cobb shivered. She also understood that fact very well.“We’ve been so respectful to you! Why would you go against us like this?!” screamed Grandma Cobb instinctively.“Go against you?Mr. Finley froze before showing a faint smile.“I have no interest in doing such a thing, Grandma Cobb.“Your grudge has nothing to do with me either.”After all, why would someone from the royal family even bother about them?In his eyes, the Cobb family simply had no right.“You never thought about that?Grandma Cobb’s tone became a whole lot fiercer.“You use your reputation and status to help those b*stards sell their stuff abroad! How is that not going against us?!“We should be the ones to have that
Mr. Finley then told one of his trusted subordinates to take some of the ointment that Harvey York and the others had prepared beforehand.Then, he smeared a thin layer of it on his wound.Everyone could clearly see the wound that was oozing blood healing up instantly!The swollen muscle caused by the wound also shrunk immediately!“Incredible! Truly marvelous!Mr. Finley burst out laughing.“I didn’t understand why the people from the military and police forces would just sign the petition for this previously!“This is life-saving for people like them!”Harvey calmly smiled. In reality, the product he gave Mr. Finley only had fifty percent of the original’s efficacy.The perfected product was obviously reserved for the people of Country H.After all, it took a lot of work to produce this.But even so, the Empire was still completely shocked that something like this even existed when they only believed in antibiotics.“You… You…”When Grandma Cobb saw Mr. Finley demonstrat
“Ah! So that was what happened! We also thought the ointment was something impressive!”“Mr. Finley’s a gentleman, no? He cares about his reputation above anything else! Why would he even do something like this?!”“He had to go against his principle exactly because of that! That’s what you call a gentleman’s spirit!”“This is bad! Mr. Finley’s standing up for a shameless man like this to put up a show just to return the favor! Who’s going to trust him after this?!”The crowd started gossiping after hearing the mother and daughter’s words. The disdainful glares toward Harvey were soon directed at Mr. Finley instantly.Grandma Cobb and the others started to feel relieved after hearing those words.Ellen Moreno even pointed at Harvey with her exquisite nose while showing an arrogant look like a pampered princess.“Enough pretending, Harvey!“Unless you show some real talent to be above Eden Cobb…“I won’t let you win using underhanded tactics like this!”In Ellen’s mind, Harvey
