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
“Right! He’s a man living off his wife! He’s about to get kicked out of the family anyway! Why even bother at this point?”“If a live-in son-in-law even knows how to read and write, pigs are going to start flying!”“Gabriel Lee’s an extremely talented figure in the city! He wouldn’t try to fool everyone with a fake painting!”The crowd disdainfully glared at Harvey York.“Get over here and apologize already! Stop making Father and Mother upset!” exclaimed Gabriel proudly.He was acting extremely arrogant, as if he was the actual son of the family.Harvey completely ignored Gabriel and smiled playfully in front of Lilian Yates.It was not that she could not distinguish that the painting was fake…In her mind, Harvey was just a live-in son-in-law trying to climb the ranks of the family.Judging from the grudge between the two, it was already nice enough for Lilian not to do anything to Harvey. Why would she even uphold justice at this point?Not only was Gabriel extremely respe
Everyone was shocked. They were looking at the sight with utter disbelief.Avery Foster’s jaw dropped in an instant. She did not know what to say at that moment.Everyone wanted to mock Harvey York, but their faces turned bright red instead.After all, everyone knew that it was impossible to steal anything from the Ancestry Museum.Even if someone could do that, they would not just sell the painting for a measly fifteen thousand dollars.More importantly, there would have been news about this if the painting was actually stolen.Since there was no word about such a thing, even an idiot would know what happened.Everyone was glaring at Gabriel with odd looks.‘At least forge something less popular if you’re going to do something like this!’‘I can’t believe he got exposed because of some news online…’The proud Gabriel felt his face becoming bright red.Harvey did not slap him directly, but the feeling was exactly the same.Lilian Yates’ face instantly turned dark.“Stop sh
