The most awkward of them all were clearly Westin and his sister.They were filled with utter fear and anger, as if they were slapped in the face by the crowd; they wanted to say something, but they couldn’t even utter a single word.Westin was the son of Deepsky Corporation’s chairman. He believed that he was being romantic to prepare such a big show for the woman he loved…Yet, what happened?Not only did he fail to trample on Harvey, he got utterly humiliated as soon as the Heart of Sky was revealed.“Hmph! You think that’s a lot of money?!”Harley, however, refused to admit defeat; she gritted her teeth and glared furiously at Harvey.“That’s nothing for my brother!”“His pocket money’s worth more than that!”“That amount must be worth your entire life savings though, right?”“Maybe you stole the necklace!”“Do you have anything else worth showing?”Harley spoke up as if she regained her courage.At this moment, a waiter quickly walked in and said, “Whoever’s car that i
Harvey was completely speechless.“You need to believe me, Xynthia. I got both the car and the necklace accidentally.”“Someone gave these to me as an apology.”“You don’t have to explain, Harvey. I won’t get angry just because you got these for my sister.”“It’s about to be you guys’ anniversary, after all.”“It’s only natural to get her a big gift before getting remarried!”Xynthia felt her head aching for no reason.She took off the necklace before she unwillingly put it back inside the box and set it on the armrest.Harvey froze.“What are you doing?”“What do you mean, what am I doing?”Xynthia scoffed.“Give this back to my sister! I’ll borrow my brother-in-law every once in a while, but I can’t just take my sister’s stuff!”“I love this a lot, but I can’t hurt my sister like this…”Xynthia hesitated.She wished Harvey actually bought the necklace for her…But she knew that she wasn’t the main character—she was just a girl hiding in someone else’s shadows.Harvey
The woman looked around her before crying in a teary voice, “Can someone please help me?!”“My grandfather’s stuck inside!”The elderly person had a horrible look on his face. The steel frame of the Mercedes started to creak as well.Everyone could tell that the person would be squashed inside as soon as the steel frame snapped.Not even 911 would be able to help.The people around stopped taking pictures after hearing the woman’s cries; they felt extremely guilty about it.A few wanted to help, but they started to hesitate before deciding to stay.Everyone could tell that the person was either rich or powerful; it’d be good if they could save him…But if they couldn’t, it’d be bad once they get themselves dragged into the situation.Creak!A horrible shriek came from the steel frame. It looked like it was about to give in at any moment.The elderly person inside grunted in pain, blood seeping out of his mouth.The woman started to panic as soon as they saw the sight.She
“I won’t be able to live with myself if I don’t save him now.”Harvey York showed a gentle smile.Xynthia Zimmer froze before heaving a huge sigh.After all, her favorite brother-in-law was that kind of person.Without a second thought, she let go of his hand.Harvey stepped out from the crowd.“Are you here to save my grandfather, kind sir?”The woman saw Harvey’s scrawny physique and thought he could not save anyone…But she was terribly desperate. She did not have another choice.“If you can get my grandfather out, I’ll give you a hundred and fifty thousand dollars right now!Harvey quickly strode to the car.The smell of fuel completely filled the entire place. The car had been completely crushed as well.Half of the man’s body was wedged under the car. He completely passed out because of all the pain. It was as if his insides were being squished at this very moment.Harvey quickly held the car’s steel frame in place as he pulled the man’s clothes, trying to drag him o
Harvey York did not want to get involved any longer, but he could not bear the sight of the old man suffering.After pondering about it for a while, he said to the woman, “There’s something terrible in your grandfather.“You only got into this accident because of this.“I suggest that you go…“Something bad?The woman was completely enraged.“You were trying to kill my grandfather just for some money!“How dare you say something like that just to get yourself out of the situation?!“I’ll beat the crap out of you if you keep spouting nonsense like this!”The woman became angrier by the moment before she swung her palm forward.Tap!The slap did not land on Harvey’s face.Xynthia Zimmer instantly raised her hand to block the attack.“My brother-in-law’s just being nice, lady!“He was the only one to stand up and help! It’s already bad enough that you’re not grateful, but you’re even trying to hit him?!“You can call the cops if you really think his actions caused your gran
Harvey York opened the trunk to grab his luggage.He saw a simple gift box inside. It was a radish covered in mud.“Flaxseed from the Great White Mountain?”Harvey was confused. He did not expect that Dariel Jackson would have a surprise for him here.This was an excellent tonic. Usually, it would be used to strengthen the bodies of older men.Since Harvey was planning to get remarried, he would also need Lilian Yates and Simon Zimmer’s agreement. After thinking about the situation, he decided to pick up the Flaxseed.Mandy Zimmer got out of the villa after receiving the word.She froze after seeing a plastic bag in Harvey’s hand.“This is…”“Just a small gift for Mom and Dad,” Harvey replied. He did not bother explaining any further.Xynthia Zimmer stuck her tongue out before she slipped away after seeing her sister.Mandy was stunned after hearing Harvey’s words. She did not expect that he would still prepare something for their parents despite their relationship.“Their
“Hahaha! You did?Gabriel Lee burst out laughing before looking at Harvey York’s plastic bag.“You’re not talking about this, are you?“You came all the way here just to get Father and Mother’s agreement for your remarriage, yet you’re bringing in a gift like this?”Before Mandy Zimmer could even say anything, Gabriel stepped forward and grabbed Harvey’s plastic bag out of his hand.The bag was opened soon after.A fresh radish could be seen inside it.“A radish? Did you just pluck this off the ground?“Is this even worth a single dollar?“No wonder Father and Mother keep calling you a useless filth!“You’re bringing this to ask for their agreement?“Are you shameless?“Leave!“The family doesn’t welcome you!”Along with Gabriel’s words, the wealthy people acquainted with Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates showed odd looks as they glared at Harvey.Their expressions were filled with disdain. They believed that Harvey’s presence only lowered the standard of the gathering.Har
“I’m not Father and Mother’s actual son. I’m just a godson without a status…“But I know I should be making them happy no matter the cost!“As long as I can hear their laughter, I’d be willing to spend all my life savings on anything!“But you say this is good enough when you’re just buying some random gift to fool them?!“Sigh! Looks like I’m just an outsider after all!“I did my best to treat Father and Mother, yet I can’t even compete against a damn radish!”Gabriel Lee seemed helpless before he showed a stern expression on his face.Avery Foster quickly lifted Gabriel when he felt a little dizzy.“I told you many times, Gabriel!” she whispered.“You treat them like actual parents, but there’s no way you can beat the blood of an actual family!”The crowd sighed while they showed pitiful looks toward Gabriel.“Yeah! There aren’t a lot of respectful people like Gabriel nowadays!”“It’s their blessing to have someone like him!”“More importantly, he’s more respectful even
