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
“I won’t get up until you say yes!”Westin’s knee was planted firmly on the ground.He had a sincere and affectionate look on his face, as if he would do anything for love.He looked as if he’d slam his head to the ground if Xynthia didn’t accept his proposal.“Accept his proposal already, Xynthia! What are you waiting for?”“Yeah! Mr. Miller’s been kneeling for so long! What if his knees start to break?”“Are you shameless or what? Why are you still stalling?!”“Are you going to take responsibility if Mr. Miller gets hurt because of you?!”“Read the room! Enough is enough!”The women were all rebuking and screaming at Xynthia, thinking that she was just an ignorant little brat.‘It’s such an honor to be proposed to by Mr. Miller!’‘How dare she keep rejecting him?!’If the women were being proposed to, they would’ve readied their bodies by then!After all the heckling, Xynthia’s face got a little paler.She had seen quite a lot of rich young masters; there had been a lot
“Oh? This isn’t the person you love now, is he?”“He looks so bland!”“He’s just a country bumpkin! I’m sure of it!”“You’re a beautiful girl, Xynthia. You should look for someone worth your time!”“Why would you lower yourself to be with such a useless-looking country bumpkin like him?”“You’ll suffer for the rest of your life with this filth! You’d never be happy!”“Yeah! Mr. Miller’s such a handsome and rich man! He sincerely loves you, too! You should be honored!”The crowd was gossiping up a storm; they were naturally doing their best to stand up for Westin.After all, the love of vanity was the nature of the world in this day and age.The beautiful women were glaring disdainfully at Harvey.‘How dare this man fight Westin for a woman?!’‘Does he even know his limits?’After seeing a random stranger show up being all lovey-dovey with Xynthia, Westin’s gaze turned scornful.He instantly pulled out a check and wrote a few numbers on it, then threw it on the table.“Her
