“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
After all, from a certain standpoint, a prominent figure like Allen Olford had a higher status than Mr. Finley.Not only was Allen terrifyingly powerful, but his connections alone were also enough for people to fear him.It was said that even the leader of the organization, Chase Smith, respected him as well.Chase announced before that if he were to be assigned to the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance, or if anything bad were to happen to him…Allen would be taking his place!Simply put, he was already Chase’s successor!He had an incredibly bright future!Grandma Cobb’s and the others’ eyes lit up before they swarmed toward the convoy.“You’re doing so much for our family, CEO Moreno! Thank you for your support!”“We’ll remember this for the rest of our lives!”“Don’t you worry. Ellen will definitely become the lady of the family sooner or later!”Grandma Cobb showed her gratitude while she was stepping forward.She was dead set on Eden Cobb marrying Ellen Moreno, even if s
Noemi Moreno glanced at her daughter after sensing her deathly stare.“He may look all calm, Ellen…” she explained after letting out a light chuckle.“But he must be sweating bullets right now.“I bet the situation’s got him dumbfounded.“A small fry like him can only pretend at this point!”Eden Cobb nodded with a stern expression.“That’s right! These pretenders can do nothing but show off!”Ellen Moreno felt slightly relieved after hearing those words.That said, she still furiously glared at Harvey York, quietly hoping for him to roll around on the ground in sorrow.At this very moment, a middle-aged man with a red and chubby face strutted forward with a dozen people surrounding him.“Grandma Cobb! CEO Moreno! Hello!“Congratulations on your anniversary’s big hit!”The middle-aged man lightly nodded in front of Grandma Cobb as a greeting, as if his arrival was more than enough to pay respect to the Cobb family.“Vice Leader Olford is a busy man! He came all the way bac
“Oh? He isn’t here for the Cobb family?”Allen Olford squinted slightly, with a hint of rage showing in his eyes.Noemi Moreno smiled before whispering into Allen’s ear.Allen quickly understood the situation.Then, he looked at Harvey York’s side profile.Harvey’s face seemed quite familiar, but it did not ring a bell since he was still too far away.Allen showed a disdainful look on his face when he coldly chuckled.“How dare a country bumpkin from Country H challenge the Cobb family on their own turf?”Allen was getting irritated after realizing that Harvey and the others completely ignored him without showing some respect.Grandma Cobb coughed with a gloomy look before she said, “Vice Leader Olford! Our family has been quite unfortunate!“Not only did an ungrateful daughter of the family decide to cast us aside, she even had a kept man going against us!“I’m sorry you had to see this!“He even stole the Cobb family’s medicine formula and made a counterfeit out of it! Th
Harvey York did not mind at all. He calmly sipped his tea while looking at Noemi Moreno and the others.“You’ve got a lot of connections, CEO Moreno. It’s truly terrifying.“Ordinary people would’ve been kneeling before you by now, wouldn’t they?“That said, are you sure you’re going to challenge me with that idiot?”Noemi smiled calmly.“This isn’t a challenge, Harvey. This is justice.”Allen Olford realized something after hearing that name…But he did not think much about it when he saw the beauty before him.“What the f*ck did you just say, you b*stard?” said Allen with a gloomy tone after coldly chuckling.“Did you just call me an idiot?“Do you know who I am? Do you understand just how powerful I am?“I’ll turn your entire damn store into rubble with a single word!“Kneel and apologize right now!“If not, you won’t even get the chance to apologize later!”The dozen people behind Allen stepped up while cracking their necks after hearing his threats.They were showin
Grandma Cobb and the others were completely stunned!It would be hard for the Cobb family to stay unpopular after this!“The first-in-command of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is here!”“Trey Bierstadt himself is here!”“Rhett and Gael Padlow are here!”“Chase Smith is here!”“Even the representative of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance, Gordon Moreno, is here!”Announcements were getting louder and louder when the well-known figures arrived one after another.The guests’ jaws dropped instantly. They could not even utter a single word.After all, those people represented immense authority within the entire city.Any single one of them would cause an uproar just by showing up.Besides, it was shocking for all of them to arrive together in a small place like this!Someone like Noemi Moreno and Allen Olford would never be able to compare to the likes of them!Even Allen immediately straightened his back with a respectful look on his face after hearing the names of the
“Hahaha!”Allen Olford burst out laughing after seeing everyone’s shock on their faces.Soon, he respectfully walked toward Chase Smith and the others.“You’re here, Director!”“Leader! Fancy seeing you here!”“Representative Moreno! What an esteemed guest! We’ll have to get drunk tonight!”Allen was also quite surprised.It was still normal for the first-in-command of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to show up, but Gordon Moreno and Chase were both highly prominent figures!With their identities, they would never show up at such an event.That said, Allen had no time to think about this at all. Noemi’s praise was enough for him to be in a trance.He boldly stepped forward to show off his acquaintance with those people.The first-in-command showed an odd expression after seeing Allen. Gordon coldly scoffed while Trey showed a faint smile…Chase, on the other hand, stepped out before swinging his palm forward.Slap!A loud slap was heard!Allen stumbled around, almos
“How is this even possible?“Why did this happen?”Ellen Moreno’s entire body was shaking.She was still looking up to Allen Olford just a minute ago, hoping that Eden Cobb would become a man like that…But a minute later, Allen was lying on the ground while getting thrown around like a punching bag.Ellen could not accept that fact.Even Eden shivered when his face had completely lost color. He could feel something in his heart collapsing at this very moment.“Alright, Leader Smith. It’s bad to spill blood on the opening day.”Right as Allen’s face was as swollen as a pig, a calm voice could be heard when he would not even dare to speak himself.It did not matter if Allen died or not…But a person’s death would surely affect Harvey’s business.Ellen and the others instinctively turned around before showing playful smiles when they saw that Harvey was the one who spoke up.“Who do you think you are? You’re nothing in front of Leader Smith, you…”Eden went dead silent befor
