Arlet Pagan already called Harvey York by the title…But when Kairi Patel was just about to take him away, the Pagan family’s butler still respectfully gave him a fifteen million dollar check.After all, the Pagan family was doing antique business.Without Wes Pagan’s keen eye, the family’s business would instantly plummet.Before there was a next true successor, Wes’ life was essential.Harvey basically saved the entire family by helping Wes deal with his problem.The family had to thank him no matter what.Harvey did not care about the money, but he still kept it anyway.Then, he sat in Kairi’s Ferrari before leaving the Pagan family’s residence.Harvey curiously looked at the goddess of a woman beside him while on the road.“Anyway, how did you know I could save Mr. Pagan?”Kairi smiled faintly as she stepped on the gas.“I know the mirror and the bead probably came from the same place.“Since you dealt with Kellan Ruiz’s problem, then it’d be easy for you to deal with
Harvey York smiled.“What sort of advice?”“Since ancient times, immortality has been in tandem with geomancy arts.“If you want Evermore to notice you, if you wish to lure them out or gather evidence, it’d be best if you become a well-known geomancy expert.“I suggest you open up shop here.“On the one hand, you can remain discreet while you do your business.“On the other hand, Evermore might just show up on their own.“More importantly, many strange things happen in a city with rich history like this.“A well-known geomancy expert can gather a lot of connections here. It should be a good thing for you here, right?”Harvey thought about the situation before lightly nodding.“You have a good point. As expected from the lady of the Patel family.“Being a geomancy expert would be an interesting job.“That said, I’m not good at geomancy, and I’m not even certified either.”Kairi Patel smiled.“If you’re interested, as your partner, I’ll make sure to deal with all this for y
“How shameful can you get?!“Is the Zimmer family not caring for you enough or something?!“How dare you even try to steal Mandy Zimmer’s money?!“What are you even planning to do with it? Take care of your little mistress?”Alma John’s words were filled with utter disgust. She believed that Harvey York was no better than a lowly beggar or a common thief.All the workers and customers were constantly nodding their heads in unison, thinking that the live-in son-in-law had truly crossed the line.“Are you done?Harvey showed a calm expression.“Step aside when you’re done! Stop interfering with my business!”If Alma were not a woman, Harvey would have slapped her aside by then.“Let me warn you, you kept man!“I’m giving you three days!“By then, you better leave Mandy!“If you’re still getting about getting remarried…“Then I suggest you give up that thought right now!“You have no right to defile a woman like her!Alma was showing an arrogant look while she bossed Harve
Normally speaking, a live-in son-in-law would not have that much money in the first place.Let alone a Black Card.‘What a joke!’A few beautiful staff were showing disdainful grins.‘It’s already bad enough for a man to be kept like this, yet he even stole his wife’s money to make a Black Card!’‘Not only is he embarrassing himself, but he’s also completely immoral!’‘People like that should be drowned!’Harvey York started to frown.“This is my money.”“Your money?Alma John let out a cold chuckle.“You’re just a kept man who clung to Mandy because you couldn’t fend for yourself! You could never have this much money in the first place!“You definitely stole the Zimmer family’s money!“This is illegal! It’s unforgivable!Then, Alma gave Mandy Zimmer a call.“Come here quick, Mandy! This is really bad!”Obviously, she wanted to use this opportunity to kick Harvey out of Mandy’s life.That way, her brother would be able to claim her all for himself.“Now you’re just be
Alma John did not expect that Harvey York’s card was made that long ago.‘Maybe this live-in son-in-law is really some sort of mysterious prominent character…Alma could not help but shudder after thinking about the situation, but she quickly came to her senses.‘What kind of big character would even become a live-in son-in-law in the first place?‘What a joke!Alma glared at Harvey coldly, as if she got the entire situation figured out.“I get it now! He must’ve stolen all this money from somewhere long ago!“He never touched the money after that!“And now, he’s planning to use all of it after everything died down!“What a heinous filth!Alma showed a disdainful expression on her face.“That said, how are you even this stupid?“Don’t you know that banks will definitely check for the source of the money if you withdraw a large amount from a Black Card?“You’re finished if we find out the money came from a suspicious source!“This amount can get you behind bars for the res
“What?!Alma John froze before showing a horrible look.“You must be mistaken, Mr. Osborne!“Sky Corporation transferred him the money?!“This is impossible!”“What do you mean by that?” exclaimed Mr. Osborne with a cold glare.“Sir York clearly looks like a talented and personable young man! He must be the person Prince York himself looks up to!“It’s perfectly normal for him to get the funds in the first place!”“There’s no way!Alma was starting to panic.“He’s just a live-in son-in-law, a kept man! Why would he even have connections with someone like Prince York himself?!“This is wrong! It has to be!Alma could not accept the fact that Harvey’s Black Card was even real and that the account had so much money.“Make another call, Mr. Osborne! There has to be a mistake!”Mandy Zimmer showed a peculiar expression when she glanced at Harvey. She knew that Harvey had many different identities, but she did not think that he still had something to hide even then.Harvey get
Seeing Mr. Osborne gritting his teeth, Alma knew full well that she wouldn’t be able to survive if she didn’t apologize.“I’m sorry,” she said quietly through gritted teeth.“Are you now?”Harvey smiled faintly at her reaction.“You ridicule and slander me, then you bring my wife here to turn against me.”“You don’t even look sincere when you apologize. Hell, you look as if I owe you millions or something.”“You really think a simple apology is going to solve anything?”Alma frowned, and immediately shot Harvey a cold glare.“At the end of the day, you were the one who borrowed the money!”“You still need to give it back sooner or later!”“You think you’re some hotshot or something?!”“Enough is enough, Harvey!” Alma went on, snarling. “Don’t try to cross the line!”Mandy hesitated.“Let’s just forget about it, Harvey. It’s just a misunderstanding.”“Alma’s part of the John family. It’s better if we don’t cross them.”“The John family?”Harvey smiled.“It doesn’t matte
Seeing Alma jumping around in pride, Harvey could only smile.“Are you sure you won’t eat your words after this?”Mandy’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that, and she quickly tugged Harvey’s arm.“Forget it, Harvey. Stop this for me. Alma’s my friend.”She then flashed a sincere expression at Alma.“Hear me out, Alma. You should apologize to Harvey and forget about this too, okay?”Naturally, she knew that with Harvey’s methods, it would be all too easy for him to fire Alma.It was a shame Alma considered Mandy’s kindness to be Harvey’s protection.“You want me to apologize to this piece of crap? Are you kidding me?!” Alma coldly exclaimed with a fierce glare.“You want me to apologize?”“I’ll apologize when he’s six feet under!”Following her exclamation, the beautiful workers around all scoffed derisively.They all had disdainful expressions, thinking that Harvey was just too cocky for his own good.Harvey, however, ignored Alma completely and instead looked at Mr.
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
With an icy demeanor, Vaida said slowly to Coco, "What if I say no?""No?" Coco looked at Vaida as if she didn't know what was good for her. "What right do you have to say no? If you know what's good for you, you'll sell me Port View Restaurant cheap right now! Once my brother takes over, this place will ultimately become mine! Stop treating yourself like you're the owner here."Even the Belladonna Cult thinks you're just a madwoman, and that they should support my brother fully. Who do you think you are now? If it weren't for your father's reputation, everything the Belladonna Cult owned would have been confiscated by the city a long time ago! You’re just a schizophrenic woman… Do you really think you're anyone important?"I'll give you three seconds to get the hell out of the Supreme Chamber! Otherwise, I'm going to teach you a lesson!""I dare you to say that again," Vaida hissed.Her eyes turned even colder."A long time ago, Dan was the one begging my father, kneeling in fr
“However, if it's discovered that you have taken even a single cent from Port View Restaurant… I'm sorry, but I’ll have no choice but to send you to jail.”Vaida extended her finger and slowly mimicked slitting her throat.Upon hearing these words, Tina began to shudder, her face as pale as a sheet.Harvey gave an approving nod. Vaida was efficient and also dealt a powerful emotional blow. She stood on moral high ground, what she did was enough to infuriate Coco. All this while, the Parkers had treated Port View Restaurant as their asset. Coco might even be one of those who embezzled funds from the restaurant. If Vaida sent Tina to prison, this would indeed be very interesting.Tina's face was pale at that moment. She instinctively looked at Coco, trembling as she begged, "Princess Coco…"It was obvious that she believed only Coco could save her now. Coco furrowed her brows, and her expression darkened. She stared coldly at Vaida."No need to audit the accounts. I can tell y
"According to the rules, this place won't have anything to do with you anymore in the future!" Coco said confidently in front of everyone, wanting to shame Vaida publicly.Vaida spat icily, "According to the agreement, only when I can't find my man of destiny within the appointed time will all the Belladonna Cult's assets go to Dan. Unfortunately for you, I have already found him. From that moment onward, everything the cult owns has nothing to do with Dan anymore. Do you understand? But of course, if you think this place doesn't belong to me…"You can call the Seven Families Joint Meeting, and we can discuss this at length. Let's see who owns the Belladonna Cult's assets."Coco's expression turned a little colder after hearing that. However, she retrained her emotions and smiled brilliantly. She knew very well according to Grand City's rules, since Vaida managed to find her man of destiny, Dan would never be able to take over the Belladonna Cult's properties.But what if her man
"Vaida, Grand City is now governed by laws. It's not right to start hitting people here, isn't it?"Just as Tina was about to crawl away, the clacking of high heels came from the entrance. A faint scent of perfume wafted through the air with a somewhat seductive tang.Harvey instinctively looked at the entrance. Elegantly dressed men and women walked in, chatting and laughing. A gorgeous woman in her twenties led the entourage.Not only were her facial features exquisite, but she also had quite a curvaceous physique. There was an air of superiority surrounding her, as if she could easily overshadow everyone else. She was wearing the most fashionable black dress, showcasing her long legs and demonstrating her perfect curves.While this woman wasn't very mature, she was full of charm and allure. To use a more modern term, she was obviously quite the player and skilled at charming men. She was none other than Coco Parker, princess of Parkerville.The moment Tina saw that woman, she
Vaida's slap was direct and ruthless, carrying an indescribable force. In one hit, Tina was instantly struck into a daze as she stumbled unsteadily. A scarlet handprint instantly appeared on her face; she looked disheveled.Tina looked at Vaida in disbelief, her voice trembling. "You hit me? Grand City is a society of law, and you hit me?" Tina couldn't understand why Vaida would hit her at this point. She was just a schizophrenic woman, and she was at the edge of losing control of Belladonna. What made her think she could still act so boldly? Who did Vaida think she was?It was obvious that deep down, Tina had no respect whatsoever for Vaida. In her mind, she could scare Vaida away by just using Coco's name. Coco was the number one princess in Grand City. Meanwhile, Vaida was just a madwoman… What right did Vaida think she had to cross Coco?Tina never expected Vaida to have no fear of Coco. Vaida even slapped her so hard that she almost dropped to the ground.Tina bit her lip
"I also think it's inappropriate to make such a request, but I have no choice. The VIP wants this private room. This is the Supreme Chamber, which represents one's status," Tina said as she narrowed her eyes at Alexei, mockery evident in her gaze."As you know, the Port View Restaurant believes that customers are gods. Now that our gods are here, of course we must accommodate their minor request. Princess Vaida, Mr. Alexei, you're both smart people. You understand that it's not easy for us, either. Can you please move quickly? We still need to clean up this room. If the VIP finds this room dirty, it might be difficult for us to handle.Tina's words right now were pure humiliation, the ones that could make men go berserk. Alexei's expression instantly turned dark.Port View Restaurant was owned by Belladonna Cult. Vaida was the scion of the Belladonna Cult. In other words, this was her turf. It was outrageous for her to be asked to leave when she was halfway through a meal, especia
