Without question, Grandma Cobb was getting extremely desperate.The things she should not have said were all flooding right out of her mouth.‘He has no power yet wants the family to crumble?‘What a joke!’In her brilliant mind, a God of War, let alone some random stranger, meant nothing to her.Noemi and Ellen Moreno felt relieved after hearing Grandma Cobb’s words.After all, Harvey York had no way to crush the Cobb family, no matter how powerful he was.The Cobb family was still one of the three great families!The Cobb family was still in Grandma Cobb’s total control!The Cobb family’s next successor was still destined to be Eden Cobb!So what if they were being disrespected at this moment?The only thing that mattered was the assets!“Is that so?Harvey showed a faint smile before snapping his fingers.“Looks like you were right after all, Elder Cobb.“The person who poisoned you has been the one you held most dear!”An exhausted voice could be heard from inside t
“Leave!”Before Harvey could do anything, Katy wiped the tears off her face and slapped Valery aside.“Step aside! You’re embarrassing everyone here!”“How dare you hit me?!”“What right do you have to do that?”Valery was boiling with anger; she marched forward to retaliate, but Katy slapped her again. The others wanted to help, but they were all frightened by Dean’s gaze. Thus, they had no choice but to stand there and watch.Dean was a God of War; though he had been crippled for many years, his fierce aura could still be felt clearly.If it weren’t for Grandma Cobb’s schemes and Julio’s challenge, he would still be the head of the Cobb family.“Enough!” Grandma Cobb yelled after seeing Valery daring to embarrass herself again.“Stop embarrassing yourself! Get back here already!”“Impressive, you old b*stard!”“I’ll remember you as well, Harvey!” Grandma Cobb exclaimed vengefully.“That said, do you think you can ruin my reputation like this? Do you think you can make m
“Grandma Cobb!”Eden and the others quickly rushed forward, panicking.“Are you alright?!”Valery and the rest glared at Harvey, and screamed at him.“You’re completely heartless, Harvey!”“We’ve been letting you off the hook even though you kept causing us trouble!”“I didn’t think you’d be this ungrateful and do such a thing to Grandma Cobb!”“You b*stard!”Harvey was unperturbed by Valery and the others’ baseless accusations.“I’m giving you one day,” he said.“If Katy doesn’t have authority over the family within that time…”“If Eden and Valery’s legs aren’t broken by then…”“The Cobb family will fall!”Upon hearing Harvey’s casual tone, Grandma Cobb could only see darkness.She held her chest, her face a wretched expression.“How dare you, you b*stard?!”“Dean! How dare you work with an outsider against your own wife?”Harvey smiled calmly.Dean, meanwhile, revealed no emotion.“You can’t do this, Harvey!” Ellen exclaimed instinctively.“Don’t you understand th
Soon, the frozen journalists, celebrities, and dance teams all came to Harvey’s store.After all, they were basically going against Harvey and Katy before; helping the two liven up the mood would probably be enough as an apology.Harvey didn’t bother settling scores with everyone there. Instead, he gave everyone present heaps of money as a celebration; these people represented the general public after all.The Cobb family felt horrible after seeing the sight.A lot of them even hesitated; they were considering changing sides at the most crucial moment.Eden stood weakly in the middle of the crowd, swaying, his face pale.He tightly held Ellen’s hand, as if she was his only hope.However, Ellen slowly pulled each of his fingers away and stumbled her way desperately toward Harvey.“I know I’m wrong, Harvey! I do!” she exclaimed with a pale white face.She forced out a beautiful smile, desperately trying to grab Harvey’s arm.“Let’s go back, okay?”“We’re still good friends, ri
“Another thing, Mother said she’ll be out on vacation for a few days. I’ve already arranged everything for her. She should be in a better mood after this.”“Please, for my sake, try not to argue with her.”“Right.”Harvey smiled warmly at her. “Did you forget something else?”Mandy froze.“What is it?”“It’ll be our anniversary in three days.”“Should we be making a new marriage certificate?”Mandy’s face went bright red, and she quickly hung up.…Three o’clock in the afternoon, at the VIP sickroom of the Blackburn City People’s Hospital.Grandma Cobb had been awake for a while.She leaned in her bed, her eyes a cold glare; the wrinkles on her face were extremely deep. It was a horrible sight.She stared blankly in front of her without saying a single word. There were no signs of rage, either.The people gathered in the same room kept giving each other looks, hoping that Grandma Cobb would be able to come out with a plan…Yet, she remained silent the entire time.“Wh
“This is bad! The people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau came to our house, saying that they were going to investigate our ledgers and tax checklists!”“Grandma Cobb! The Department of Labor came to our factory, saying that they’ll take legal action for not paying wages before!”“A few investors contacted Katy in secret to sell our shares for a low price!”“Suppliers are pestering us to pay up!”“Even the bank is asking us about the unpaid loans…”“Grandma Cobb! The Moreno family sent word, saying that Noemi is no longer a member…”Every single bad news was way worse than the last; the family was completely stunned by the entire situation.“The South Sea Martial Arts Alliance announced that the Cobb family’s products are just counterfeits, and that they’ll only use the Silver Elixir from now on…”“We’re finished!”A lot of people fell to the ground with their jaws completely dropped.Harvey could easily crush the Cobb family; he could suck their money dry and force
“That’s right! If it weren’t for you constantly going against Dean and Katy, we would’ve been rich by now—we would’ve been the country’s top family!”“Maybe you should beg for mercy instead, Grandma Cobb.”“Even if Katy doesn’t forgive you, your husband will surely do that for the sake of his marriage.”“Surely with their help, we can continue enjoying our glory and riches for a few more decades!”One after another, the entire family spoke up.On one hand, they were venting their anger toward Grandma Cobb.On the other hand, they wouldn’t dare let their riches go after holding onto them for their entire lives.They had long lost their ability to work for others; without the family’s support, they had no choice but to beg for food.They were willing to kneel in front of Dean and Katy to secure their livelihoods if that was what it took.Safe to say, Grandma Cobb’s position as the head of the family was completely ruined; she was no longer the leader that she was before.Eden t
Grandma Cobb looked as if she had already given up. She then slapped herself a few times; her entire face became as swollen as a pig’s.Dean sighed without saying a word; he waved his hand and gestured for Katy to push him back into the store.At the same time, Grandma Cobb was left outside to kneel.For the sake of their marriage, years’ worth of scheming for an hour of kneeling was a good enough trade.After that, Grandma Cobb stumbled off the ground and walked back inside her car.The moment she sat down in the back, mixed feelings could be seen on her face; unspeakable loneliness and hatred were the only things she felt.She gestured to the driver, then pulled up the soundproof private glass.She dialed a number and yelled furiously, “Why isn’t Harvey dead yet?!”“I’ve already paid you more money!”“When are you going to kill him?!”A respectful tone could be heard from the other side of the phone.“Grandma Cobb, Harvey’s identity is a shocking one. It’s not that simple
