“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
“Just tell me if you’re going to leave with the money or not!” Harvey exclaimed coldly.“Tell me if you’re going to stop harassing Xynthia or not!”“Who the hell are you anyway, you b*stard?!” Harley growled, furious.“Don’t you know who my brother is?!”“How dare you challenge him like this?’Westin gave a wretched chortle.“Do you really want to go against me?”Naturally, he didn’t believe that Harvey actually had that much money.Even if Harvey did, Westin wouldn’t accept it no matter what.After all, his mission wasn’t just to get a beautiful woman in his arms.He was aiming for Mordu’s Jean family—the very family behind Xynthia.However, Harvey decided that he wanted Westin to completely give up on that idea.“I don’t care if you want the money or not. If you keep harassing Xynthia, I won’t go easy on you,” he warned with a cold glare.“Is that a threat?”Westin scoffed.“Do you know who I am?! How dare you fight me for a woman?”“I’m the son of Deepsky Corporation
Harvey smiled calmly.“Really now?” he said as he held the Crimson Love.“You think this is worth millions?”“This sure looks like a glass bead to me.”“Look at this country bumpkin! You can’t even differentiate a diamond from a glass bead!”Westin glared disdainfully at Harvey.“Diamonds are the strongest substances on Earth!”“Only my love can…”“Is that so?”Before Westin was even done talking, Harvey immediately cut him off by lightly pinching his fingers together.There was a loud crack, and the diamond turned to dust before gliding off Harvey’s fingers.Smiling, Harvey pulled out some wet wipes.“This is all your love can do?”The crowd was dead silent.They didn’t know how to feel about what they had just seen.Normally speaking, a diamond wouldn’t crumble even if it was repeatedly hammered.‘Is that diamond actually just a glass bead?’‘Still, you need some impressive talent to turn that to dust!’At this moment, everyone looked into Harvey’s eyes with fear.
Westin clenched his fist tightly; he wanted to lash out, but he had no idea what he was supposed to say.He took a deep breath to calm himself down. After all, an elite like him shouldn’t be provoked by a country bumpkin like Harvey.“Mr. Miller, right?”“While everyone’s here, I should warn you.”“It doesn’t matter if Xynthia’s single or taken.”“You won’t get her if you keep coercing her like this.”“You better stay away from her from now on. If not, don’t blame me for what happens next!”Harvey took a step forward before glaring coldly at the two siblings.After hearing Harvey’s harsh tone and seeing the frosty look on his face…Westin immediately trembled; he couldn’t help but feel fear.However, he came to his senses soon after.He was the son of the chairman of a billion-dollar company! Why would he be scared of an ordinary-looking country bumpkin?“What right do you have to decide for Xynthia, you b*stard?!”Harley was completely infuriated.“I got someone to look
Westin decided to completely go against Harvey.“I won’t force you to pull out your present right now! I’ll give you two hours to buy anything you want in the mall.”“We’ll wait right here until you come back!”Harley revealed a prideful smile after hearing her brother’s confident words.“Yeah! You dare to bet?!”“Or are you saying two hours isn’t enough?”“Beg for more time, then! If you do, we’ll gladly give you two months for it!”“You’ll have time to even sell your kidneys if you want to!”“That said, I don’t think your kidneys would be worth that much anyway.”Harley had a mocking expression.After all, 1.5 million dollars wasn’t an obtainable amount for ordinary people, even if they worked their entire lives.“I don’t need two hours for that. I have a gift for Xynthia right here.”Harvey flashed them a faint smile before pulling out the gift box Dariel gave him prior to this.He had already taken a peek at what was inside.It was a diamond necklace.He didn’t look
