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
“How dare you hit me, you b*stard?!”Dariel stumbled off the ground.His face was filled with rage and resentment; he was glaring at Harvey as he gritted his teeth.“You’re dead!”“You hear me?!”His friends raised their heads as well, glaring disdainfully at Harvey and Mandy.Naturally, they knew that the two were done for.The beautiful waitress quickly called several men in suits. They were probably the restaurant’s security guards.Harvey ignored them, and casually took a sip of the cup of the tea on his table.“You still have a chance to kneel right now. I’ll have to break your arm if you keep this up, though.”The crowd scoffed at Harvey’s words.They all thought Harvey was just some loser who had no right to go against a rich heir.After all, in a place like the Golden Sands, just a bit of talent wouldn’t be able to get anyone far.In a big city like this, power, background, connections, authority, and status meant everything.Harvey was surely finished for challen
Dariel finally showed his true colors.At his words, his friends all stepped forward with beer bottles in hand, ready to crack Harvey’s head open.Mandy’s expression turned frosty. “What are you trying to do?!”“I’ll call the cops if you do anything stupid!”“Call the cops? Hah!”The beautiful waitress chuckled coldly.“We’ll start calling you Mommy if you can even do anything with that!”“Let me tell you something! The entire police station has connections with Young Master Jackson!”“Even if you start begging for their help…”“They wouldn’t do anything!”“It’s fine, Mandy. I’ll handle this.”Harvey stopped Mandy from making a phone call, and then glanced calmly at Dariel.“So you’re saying you don’t want to beg for mercy?”Dariel laughed coldly before spitting out some blood.“You’re asking that from me? Do you even have the right?”“Is that so? I don’t have any now?”Harvey pulled out a card and flicked it right toward Dariel’s head.“How about now?”“Heh, heh! S
Dariel couldn’t understand why someone who looked like a complete loser would have the right to get Kairi’s card in the first place.He didn’t give up, however; he assumed Harvey must’ve picked up the card on the ground to show off.He gritted his teeth, and then made a call. His body trembled immediately after.Kairi said only one thing…That being, Harvey was her good friend.Those simple words were enough to spin Dariel’s head around. The remainder of his hope was instantly crushed.He hung up, then slammed his knees to the ground without hesitation.The crowd was bewildered.Everyone was filled with disbelief at the sight; they had absolutely no idea what happened.‘How did a loser like him get such a rich and handsome man to kneel?’“I’m sorry, Sir York! I’m really sorry!”“I was ignorant! Please let me go!”“Please!”“This is all my fault!”Dariel then slapped himself around a few times before he started groveling.He knew full well that he’d be dead if Harvey wasn
After seeing Dariel kneeling on the ground, slapping himself in the face and groveling…The crowd suddenly found themselves growing slack with shock, and that it was difficult to breathe. Everyone looked at Harvey with curious and awkward expressions.They initially thought that he was just some useless filth who’d be crushed instantly.They thought that his life, along with the woman he loved, would be lost …Yet, nobody thought he’d manage to disrespect everyone so easily.Dariel was already on the ground, almost to the point where he was about to bark like a dog.It was a ridiculous sight!The beautiful waitress, who had been so smug earlier, was so scared that she didn’t dare lash out.She couldn’t believe that Dariel would be this terrified of a single country bumpkin.‘What happened?’‘What did the card mean?’‘He actually has the right to make Dariel kneel?’Mandy’s face went bright red, and she looked at the crowd around her.“It’s fine, Harvey. He’s apologized a
Harvey glanced at Dariel , then chuckled.“That’s it?”Dariel froze while he gritted his teeth.“Here’s a Porsche, sir. I got it yesterday,” he added quietly, putting the car key in the gift box.“You probably don’t have a car since you just got here…”“Please take it. You don’t have to hold back.”“Also, here’s my phone number! Just give me a call if you need me. I’ll do everything in my power to help, even if you tell me to clean toilets or sweep the streets!”Dariel hurriedly shoved his gifts into Harvey’s hands before stumbling out of the place as fast as he could.Harvey smiled as he looked at the gifts, quietly accepting them…But as soon as he opened the box, his eyes lit up instantly.He didn’t need to buy a gift anymore; this was perfect!He then drove his brand-new Porsche to a Western restaurant on the shopping mall’s first floor.This was where Xynthia’s birthday banquet was held.Without bothering to look at Xynthia’s texts from a few minutes ago, Harvey quick
Westin was Xynthia’s university mate. However, he was very discreet back then and didn’t get close to her. When he reached Golden Sands, Xynthia coincidentally happened to have her birthday banquet there.After receiving an invite, Westin knew that his opportunity had come.Thus, he planned to coerce the woman he had been yearning for into his arms.After that, everything was history.The screams and cheers all around led to him grinning confidently. Westin was certain that no woman could resist such a romantic sight, especially after showing off his incredible wealth.Even Xynthia, who looked like she came from one of the top ten families, wouldn’t be able to reject such a grandiose proposal.“I’ve been meaning to tell you something since we were university mates, Xynthia…”Westin held a bouquet of roses in front of Xynthia, his face a determined expression.“Fate had other plans. When I was about to say something, you left Buckwood.”“Thank goodness we were bound by a r
“Thank you for everything you’ve done, Westin.”Xynthia’s face, however, was ice. She had utter disdain for people treating her this way, and hated them more than everything.She felt as if they were trying to force her.This was her very own birthday banquet, no less. She couldn’t be bothered to even pay Westin any respect.“You should be giving all this to the person you love.”Xynthia spoke carefully; she was trying not to give Westin any chance to refute.“I already have someone in my heart.”“We can’t be together.”Westin really was a decent man. He was tall and handsome as well…However, Xynthia already had someone she loved; she had no space for anybody else.The expression of Westin’s sister changed instantly.“Xynthia! You can’t just say these things just because you’re embarrassed.”“The women who desire my brother are lined up all the way to Mordu!”“If you miss out on this, you’ll never get another chance to be together with a man like my brother!”On the othe
As the proofs had all been posted online, some netizens writing badly against the Xaviers immediately separated into two camps.A few still believed that the Xaviers had turned coat, but most believed in the Xaviers. Yvonne was still single, after all. That alone was enough to gain their trust."I told you. The Xaviers were one of the top ten families in country H. They wouldn't have become a servant to the Islanders.""The beautiful ladies from our country should remain single instead of letting anyone have them.""I believe someone is targeting the Xavier family. Maybe this is an action from some overseas forces. Don't believe those lies, everyone!""The Xavier family has already published their explanation. They've even posted their contracts on their website for everyone to check. It's enough to prove that they had nothing to hide.""The relevant departments should interfere with this as soon as possible and restore their reputation."Everyone sighed in relief when some neti
When Harvey and the others heard about Journi, they were all shocked. All of them took out their phones and started to check the trending searches. Very quickly, the screenshots of the role model husband and wife cheating started to appear. Photos of them and the audio of them fighting slowly appeared.To most of the netizens, something like this was much better.Very quickly, the role model husband and wife became everyone's talking points. Countless moral crusaders started to condemn them with words. Some were laughing at them, cursing at them, speaking for them… The entire internet became very lively as different types of people took different stances.When their romantic partners were all revealed, it allowed people to build up their own scenarios in their head. Many people started to search for all kinds of evidence through the internet.As the netizens continued to discuss it, news about the Xaviers ceased becoming important. While there were still some people who had a pro
"If that really doesn't work, maybe Yvonne can hide for a while?" Rachel said after giving it a thought. While she didn't know much about the internet, she knew about one thing. Trends like this would only remain for a few days. Ignore them and they would go away pretty quickly."It won't be that easy this time," Harvey said as he shook his head. "Since Linus is the one who planned this, he would definitely watch how things are going. Once he noticed things didn't develop how he wanted them to be, he'd do something else instead. He may publish the second half of the video that we don't want to. In other words, we're in his complete control."Everyone looked at each other, not sure how to deal with this mess."Sir, it's not good if you don't tell me something is happening at home when I'm your assistant, right? Or do you think the Country H Commercial Group is too small, and we can't help you?" Just when everyone was getting a headache, a slender figure walked into the residence'
It was obvious everyone knew the kind of situation Yvonne was in, so none of them were in the mood to cook. Instead, they simply ordered some takeaway and tried to see what they could do about this as they had dinner."Sir, according to the clues we can cover, the one pushing and controlling this should be Linus. The data he had should be complete, but he knew we wouldn't publish the second half of the wedding, which was why they could do this without fear of reprisal," Ray said angrily."Also, all these people on the internet are so stupid. They started to spread rumors without knowing any truth… Damn them! Didn't they know they should let the bullets fly a little?"Tyson thought about that, and said, "Sir, give me the word and I'll be able to find all of them one by one. We'll make them pay for their mindless ramblings!"Harvey glared at him. "Do you think you're George? Find one for me, then. Not to mention, this isn't something that violence can solve.""But we can't let them
"Despite being one of the top ten families, they worked together with the Islanders to profit themselves. They allied themselves with our enemies and made the eldest of their daughters marry an Islander. The Xaviers, one of the most powerful families in Country H… Hmph. Just what kind of filth are they hiding under all the glamor?"Our people have been at the top of the world for so many years, but now, there are those that kneel to some Islanders? Disgraceful! Shameful!"After Linus had gone to the rest stop, several of the most famous message boards on the internet started to show some hot searches which included words like top ten families, collusion, Islanders, and words like that. These words are all very eye-catching, and since there are people intentionally pushing things along, a series of events very quickly occurred on the internet.First of all, someone summarized that the Xaviers of Wolsing, one of the top ten families, were in a state of weakening. Then, someone pointed
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
