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
A truly capable man would not become a live-in son-in-law.More importantly, the guests naturally had to stand with Gabriel Lee since they all took something from him.“Just shut up if you don’t know anything, Harvey York! Stop spouting nonsense!”“Yeah! Just look at yourself! How dare you slander Gabriel like that?!”“You pretend to be a professional or something?! You think it’s fake just because you said so?!”“I heard that you don’t even have an educational background! You have no right to appraise calligraphy paintings if you can’t even read!”“Gabriel’s an extremely well-known collector here! It’s definitely real if he says it is!”The crowd was in an uproar. They were relentlessly ridiculing Harvey, and it was extremely ear-piercing.Mandy and Xynthia Zimmer’s expressions instantly darkened.They did not expect Gabriel would be this shameless.“We’ll just have to get another expert to appraise this then,” replied Harvey calmly.“I’ll pay for the expert myself.”Gabri
Lilian Yates’ pupils shrunk the moment she saw Harvey York.Then, she disdainfully sat down on a chair before saying, “Bring me the painting, my dear.“Your father and I will take a look at it.”The two came from wealthy families, after all. It was only natural for them to have some experience in this.Since Simon Zimmer had been painfully researching all sorts of collectibles back in South Light, he had more knowledge in appraising in general.Gabriel Lee would not have purchased the Claudius if that were not the case.Gabriel pridefully glared at Harvey before handing the painting to Simon.Simon took out a magnifying glass before pretending to look all over the painting.A few minutes later, Simon started whispering in Lilian’s ear.Lilian instinctively glared at Gabriel.Her expression was as cold as ice.Gabriel immediately trembled in his boots. Lilian’s gaze was just too terrifying.Obviously, they found out that the painting was fake.Mandy and Xynthia Zimmer were
