In their eyes, Harvey had without question tainted Kairi.Harvey smiled at their reactions, and calmly let go of Kairi’s hand.Even so, a hint of her fragrance was still lingering between his fingertips.Kairi smiled.“No matter the reason, you managed to deal with a dangerous crisis.”“If you didn’t, even if she doesn’t get to kill me, many innocents would be dragged into this.”“I’d be blamed for the innocents instead.”Kairi flashed him a dreamy smile.“No matter the perspective, I owe you a huge favor.”“From now on, you’re my friend! Let me know whatever you need from me. I’ll do anything in my power to help!”“It’s cliche to say something like this, but I really mean it.”“Even if I’m gone, you can bring my name card to my father or…fiance…”Kairi pulled out a card before putting it in Harvey’s hand.“They’ll do everything they can to help.”Harvey held the exquisite-looking card; it had been carved from a special type of wood. There was only a name and a number on
A few hours later, the plane landed at the Golden Sands International Airport. The entire time, neither Harvey nor Kairi said a word. Harvey and Kairi walked in the VIP passageway together as if they were a couple. The bodyguards behind Kairi all had gloomy looks as they watched.The two soon reached the exit. Kairi flashed Harvey a friendly smile.“Where are you going next? I can get you there if you’d like.”Harvey shook his head.“No need. I already told my wife about my arrival when I boarded the plane.”“She’ll come pick me up later.”“Your wife?”Kairi froze; then, she instinctively looked at Harvey’s ring finger.There was no ring on it.Harvey smiled when he saw the look on Kairi’s face.“Maybe ex-wife is a more appropriate title. I’m just a discarded man at this point.”Kairi smiled at Harvey; she seemed a lot more interested in Harvey now.“That doesn’t matter. If you give me a call, I’ll help you any way I can in the Golden Sands!”“Come! Let’s hug it out as a
By then, Kairi had grown more interested in Harvey.She leaned in closer to his ear before whispering, “What about dinner tonight, Sir York?”“Thank you for your offer, but he’s not free!”Mandy couldn’t help but reveal a cold glare as she spoke up, replying in Harvey’s stead.She stomped on her high heels before pulling Harvey away, smiling sharply.“He’ll be having dinner with me tonight.”Kairi froze after seeing Mandy here.“This is your useless ex-husband, Mandy?!” she exclaimed, shocked.‘Huh? Do they know each other?’ Harvey thought, surprised. ‘Well, I suppose it’s normal for people from the Golden Sands’ top-rated circle to know each other …’Mandy couldn’t be bothered to explain anything, and dragged Harvey out of the passageway and into her red Ferrari.She furiously stepped on the gas soon after.Kairi was left at the airport, watching the two go away with a playful expression.Harvey was in the passenger’s seat, his seatbelt strapped on him, an odd expression
At six o’clock in the evening, in front of the Golden Sands Shopping Center—the Golden Sands Food Market.The place was named as such, but it was one of the most well-known restaurants around. It was said there’d be thousands of people lining up to get in every single day.The parking lot was filled with all sorts of luxurious cars.Mandy was already prepared to take Harvey here. However, he immediately froze when he saw her pull out a number plate from her handbag.After parking the car, the two walked into the restaurant. The entire place was filled with customers dressed in all sorts of elegant clothing. It was clear this was the peak time for dinner.Mandy showed the number plate, and a waiter led the two to the reserved seats.During the process, Mandy caught quite a lot of attention.After all, compared to the young ladies with elegant makeup and slender legs…Mandy wasn’t wearing makeup at all, but her looks and aura outmatched the others completely.The men with female
“Hello, Miss…”Right as Harvey and Mandy were speaking, a beautiful waitress with great makeup walked over with a 1982 Lafite.“Young Master Jackson wanted you to have this.”Before Mandy and Harvey had the chance to reject the gift, the extremely rare bottle of wine was already put on the table.“Wine? A 1982 Lafite, of all things?”Harvey and Mandy froze, then looked in the direction the waitress pointed toward.A handsome man in a Givenchy couture suit raised his glass of red wine.He looked young, dashing, and extremely rich.It was clear he was a very successful man.A few people in elegant clothing surrounded him.They were all staring mockingly at Harvey and Mandy, as if they were waiting for something to happen.Before Harvey even said a word, Mandy had already spoken up with a cold expression.“I’m sorry, I don’t know who that is. Please take this back.”“This…”The beautiful waitress frowned after sensing Mandy’s distant attitude; she was clearly in a bad mood.
“Look closely, Miss!”“Other than stuffing his mouth, what else can your man even do?!”“He wouldn’t even dare speak up about this!”“And what about Young Master Jackson? He’s a thousand times better than this man here! You’ll regret it if you miss your chance!”The waitress looked down at Harvey.While she already knew he was there, she just couldn’t stand such a poor-looking sob.After all, in her eyes, the most valuable man in the Golden Sands was Young Master Jackson, Dariel Jackson.Mandy was completely infuriated; she couldn’t be bothered to talk to the waitress any longer.“Leave!” she exclaimed coldly.The waitress chuckled.“Enough is enough!”“Why are you still pretending?!”“I’ll get your manager to fire you if you keep yapping here!”At this moment, Dariel walked over with his glass of wine, having watched the whole thing with narrowed eyes for a while.With every single step he took, he exuded an incredibly domineering aura.Those who were in his way quickly
Dariel’s tone was bright and decisive.A lot of his friends burst out laughing; there was clearly another meaning to his words.But Dariel had a calm look on his face, as if he was only speaking normally.He had a confident expression, and completely ignored Harvey’s existence.Mandy kept his eyes on Harvey, her face cold. “Are you done eating? We’ll head out as soon as you’re done.”The beautiful waitress was completely infuriated.“What are you saying, you b*tch?!”“Young Master Jackson came all the way here just for you, yet you’re still trying to play hard to get?”“Do you think you’re actually worth something?”“You’ll end up horribly if Young Master Jackson gets angry!”“Sigh. Enough nonsense! We should be gentle with beautiful women like her. There’s no need for threats!”Dariel waved at the beautiful waitress, swishing the glass of wine in his hand as he did so. He smiled when he looked at Harvey, who was in the midst of taking bites out of the pickled fish.“I’m in
The crowd became dead silent as soon as they heard Harvey’s words.They looked at Harvey in shock; some of them couldn’t help but pluck their ears to check if they had heard wrong.It’d be normal for Dariel to say something like this…However, it was just completely shocking for a random country bumpkin to say the same thing.Dariel froze for a moment, then scoffed.“Interesting!It’s been a while since someone’s acted like this in front of me.”“You’re not the first, but you’re definitely one of the most interesting.”“How about this? Grovel before you leave.”Harvey nodded.“Sure. Do it now.”Dariel shot Harvey a disdainful look.‘Does this b*stard know who he’s talking to?’“This guy’s not respecting you at all, Young Master Jackson!”“He wants you to grovel?! No chance!”“Looks like you’ll have to teach him a lesson for running his mouth like that, Young Master Jackson!”Dariel’s friends were cheering loudly; they wanted chaos.Dariel felt utterly humiliated after se
