“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
Harvey, who was watching, frowned and took a step forward.Xynthia rejected Westin’s love decisively, but she was still forced to accept it.As her brother-in-law, Harvey couldn’t simply allow this to happen.Right as he took a step forward, the men in suits who were blocking Xynthia approached him.A six-feet-two tall man sized up Harvey before he exclaimed frostily, “Don’t you see Mr. Miller declaring his love?”“Strangers not allowed inside!”The man pushed Harvey aside, shooing him away.“Xynthia’s my sister. What right do you have to keep me out here?” Harvey snarled.“Sister?”The man guffawed.“I don’t care who you are, but you’re still not allowed in!”“Unless Mr. Miller gets what he wants, nobody’s allowed to ruin his show…”Harvey narrowed his eyes.“Move,” he commanded coldly.“Oh? Are you angry?”“Looks like you’re not her brother, but her lover instead!”“Do you feel humiliated when a woman you love is being pursued by someone else? Did your dignity get tar
