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.
Before Alma could come to her senses, Harvey had already dragged Mandy out of the place.Mandy wanted to say something, but she knew there was no turning back at this point.When the car reached the suburbs, Harvey’s phone suddenly rang.Kellan was the one who called.After picking up the call, a loud voice pierced Harvey’s ears.“This is bad, Sir York!”Harvey was curious.“What on earth can happen right now?”Kellan gritted his teeth in frustration.“Cliff doesn’t know how to do his job at all!”“After making sure that Idris isn’t his actual son, he planned to take Idris and his mother out!”“He already picked a date to rip the two apart!”“That said, we found the place Zarla and Idris hid.”“But the two had vanished right after that!”“This had nothing to do with you, but you were the one who started it…”Kellan’s tone became grim. “Zarla and Idris might just cause you trouble.”Harvey shook his head, helpless.“That idiot!”Since Zarla and Idris were saved, it c
“It’s only natural that we settle scores with you, right?” Elan continued with a righteous expression.After hearing those names, Harvey was reminded of something that Kellan told him.“You two were students cast out of Heaven’s Gate, right?”“If I remember correctly, Heaven’s Gate has a pretty big bounty on your heads.”Kellan told Harvey that these two were extremely heinous. They didn’t hesitate to kill some of their fellow disciples for the sake of a ruthless martial arts.It was why they were being hunted down by Heaven’s Gate.Harvey didn’t expect Idris to have such a background.He didn’t know that the mother and son would come for him immediately after escaping.Reminding himself that Mandy was still inside the car, Harvey was careful to be discreet.“True, I was the one who caused Cliff to be like that. But you can’t blame me for everything, right?”“The truth was about to come out sooner or later.”“Why don’t we deal with this another way?’“I’ll give you a hundre
It was an utterly shocking sight.Elan, who was smoking his cigar, looked utterly bewildered. His junior slid down the windshield right in front of his eyes, covered in injuries.After seeing what happened, he was completely infuriated.“You b*stard! How dare you lay your hands on my junior? Have you thought of the consequences of doing such a thing?!’Elan screamed in rage, preparing to strike a devastating blow.But before he could even move, Harvey’s slap had already landed on his face.He was immediately sent flying, and crashed right into the trunk.By then, he could only see Harvey’s emotionless face before him.“You’re no good, but you talk a lot.”Harvey calmly wiped his fingers with some tissue.Elan didn’t think that he’d be defeated before he even made a move.Meanwhile, Aella was on the verge of coughing up blood upon seeing her superior defeated; she no longer had the strength to even stand up.Harvey calmly took out his phone before dialing a number.“Clean
After greeting Mandy, Aunt Anderson turned her gaze back toward Lilian.“I had no other choice, Lilian! That was why I came,” she said with an annoyed expression.“You know me. I’m a prideful woman!”“I wouldn’t lower my head like this if it wasn’t serious!”“Nova’s into jewelry design, but she couldn’t find a suitable job for the longest time.”“Businesses nowadays have absolutely no standards!”“I called every single one of them, saying that my daughter’s a genius! A talented woman like her would need at least three thousand dollars per month, along with a five-star dormitory and a private car.”“And then what happened? Those businesses only gave her four hundred and fifty dollars and a public dorm!”“They’re clearly looking down at my daughter!”Aunt Anderson was shedding crocodile tears while beating her chest repeatedly.Nova, on the other hand, casually swiped her phone without even responding; as if she had nothing to do with the situation.Lilian pondered the situati
“Of course I know that it’ll be hard to get in! That’s why we’re here begging for your help!”Aunt Anderson had a righteous look on her face.“To say nothing of Lilian…”“But Mandy’s the head of the Jean family’s ninth branch!”“That branch’s going bankrupt, but it’s way better than nothing.”“With Mandy’s help, it’d be as easy as pie for Nova to get into the company!”Aunt Anderson flashed them a sinister smile.“Of course, if you’re not willing to help, or if you’re scared that I’ll owe you a favor…”“Just tell it to us straight!”“We’ll make sure to announce this to our entire family!”Lilian and Simon looked at each other.Aside from being utterly greedy, Lilian was also an extremely prideful woman.After getting a new bag, she’d post pictures of it in many different friend groups. If Aunt Anderson told everyone about how unhelpful she was, how would she show off again in the future?That said, it was almost impossible for her to help.It wasn’t that she didn’t want t
“Simon, Lilian, Mandy. I think you should do this for us!”“After all, you’ve been showing off in all those friend groups and flaunting your connections with big characters all over the place.”“If you’re unwilling to help, what would happen to me and my child?”Aunt Anderson’s expression worsened after seeing the bitter looks on Lilian and the others’ faces.“Are you just going to watch my dear child turn into useless filth because she has no job?”“Can you bear that?”Nova reluctantly put down her phone that had just run out of battery, and scoffed coldly.“I don’t think Aunty and Uncle are powerless at all, Mother.”“Now that they’re all rich, they must be looking down on us poor relatives.”“They think they’re impressive just because they have a bit more money than us!”“Stop showing off in friend groups, then!”Harvey smiled after hearing Nova’s words.‘Whatever she said was so dumb that it was cute?’Mandy sighed.“It’s not that we don’t want to help, Aunty. We real
“Ha! You haven’t even tried anything, and yet you’re telling us that you’re doing your best?”“Is this what your help is supposed to look like?”Aunt Anderson laughed coldly.“If we weren’t relatives in the first place, do you think you have the right to help Nova?”“Besides, I’m from the government!”“I’m already begging you the best I can. I showed you respect, but you people just won’t accept it!”“You’re shameless!”Lilian froze; this was her first time meeting someone more unreasonable than her.She was completely furious, and gritted her teeth.“You wench! You’re saying that we should be honored to help you?!”“Father, Mother…”Mandy couldn’t help but rub her forehead after seeing that a fight was about to break out.“Maybe you should just help Aunt Anderson, Harvey,” she said after instinctively looking at Harvey.She remembered that Harvey brought out Wes’s personal card at the bank just now.This meant that he had connections with Wes.Judging from Harvey’s atti
Drake shrugged nonchalantly and said to Journi, "I don't care whether you want to kneel, but you know my nickname well."As they spoke, Drake's right finger was already starting to pull the trigger.Journi gritted her teeth, but in the end, she slowly bent the knee. Harvey was stunned as he was going to make his move. There was surprise in his eyes. All these men and women from high society had their own pride. He did not expect her to be able to be so flexible in a time like this. She deserved his praise!"Tsk. Aren't you a princess? Aren't you always prideful? Don't they call you a goddess?" Drake looked at Journi disdainfully when he saw her kneel. He patted Journi's hand with a sneer. "You've always despised me, haven't you? Why are you kneeling before me now?"If it isn't because Ms. Isis desired you, do you think I'll let you kneel here? You're just a daughter from some second-rate top family. You think you're untouchable, and you want to go against us? Do you think you're an
Hearing Drake's words, Journi coldly said, "Drake, are you stupid? Do you know who you are? Are you threatening me? Ruin my face, then. Show me if you can actually bear the consequences of your action!"Journi was quite fearless. Besides Harvey being right next to her, it was also because Journi was sure Drake would not dare to do anything to her. She was a member of the Stanton family, after all. While the Stanton family was not one of the top ten families or one of the five hidden families, they were still one of the top families.If they butted heads and went all out, it would never end well for both sides."Ha! Don't think I didn't know Emery is no longer interested in you," Drake waved his hand, and four brawny men walked out, their eyes locked on Harvey and Journi."I gave you some respect in the past because Emery wanted you, so I did it for his sake. Do you really think you mean anything? And now? Who do you think you are? So what if I tell you to kneel and call her Queen?
Just when Harvey was giving Isis a good look, Jouni could not help but yelp as if she had discovered something novel. "Drake Ward? Why is he here? Isn't he supposed to be back in the Northern Lands?"Harvey looked at Isis and instantly frowned. Then, his eyes turned to the man sitting opposite Isis. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and had a buzz cut. He was also covered in tattoos and looked very aggressive. Most importantly, he was the only man from Country H who could be on the same level as all these foreigners here.And the way he looked at Isis was one of unrestrained aggression. However, despite clearly noticing that, Isis did not say anything else. That also explained the man's high status because, typically speaking, someone like Isis would definitely kill any man who gave her those looks."Drake Ward?" Harvey was curious. "Why does this name sound so familiar?""Of course it is," Journi replied coldly. "He belonged to one of the five hidden families, the Ward family o
Since the other side wanted to drop all pretenses, he also could do it his way. They lived in an era when fighting fire with fire was the only way to go. The man's expression froze, somewhat darkened. He did not expect this man to be the current chairman of Country H Commercial Group, which meant he had bitten off more than he could ever chew. If he had known, he would not have wasted his breath.But from how calm Harvey was, he could tell that Harvey was definitely someone who would honor his threats. If Harvey really did take this to Elric, then it would simply make everyone look bad. Even if they were sure this place had nothing to do with the commercial group, who would they complain to when Harvey locked all the exits?The moment that thought crossed the man's mind, he could only say with a straightened expression, "I see that you're the chairman, Mr. Harvey. If that's the case, please come in. My master wanted to meet you for a long time."When Journi saw the man had taken a
"True, this is not our territory," the man said with a smile, "but since Mr. Stanton rented this place to us, this place is under our management for the time being. When he rented us this place, we made a promise. Other than the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group, only the guests that we designated can enter this place. "Even gods will have to follow this rule. Not only are you trying to make it hard for us, but you're also making it hard for your father. I believe you won't make it difficult for us, right?The man gave Journi a meaningful smile. A woman who came to his master after submitting herself to him didn't have anything to be proud of.Journi's expression darkened. "What if I said this man is my boyfriend?""Boyfriend?" The man smiled. "He can't enter even if he's your husband. But I know you people like to break the rules all the time. If you want to force your way through, then we'll act accordingly."The man clapped; instantly, eight powerful-built men walked
The next day, eight o'clock in the evening… Harvey got into a car, and Journi was waving at him with a smile. In the past two days, Journi didn't interrupt him and Yvonne, and simply let them clean up everything that had happened earlier.Once it was almost done, only then did Journi ask Harvey to do as he promised and pretend to be her boyfriend.According to Journi, the man from Country A who liked her was becoming worse and worse. One time, he even went to the female toilet and she almost lost her innocence. All she wanted was for Harvey to deal with this properly.Originally, Harvey didn't want to make a move. When he heard how improper the man acted, he was furious and agreed to Journi's request. However, Journi said that this couldn't be taken care of using force alone. She hoped Harvey would go and meet him and settle this peacefully. This would be good for both sides.Originally, Harvey was going to ask Tyson to immediately teach that man a lesson. But since Journi requ
Linus almost wanted to slap the secretary out of fury. "I'm warning you! This is something we have to deal with ourselves. If we can, Emery will ally with us and help us deal with the small problems that we might encounter. But if we can't… Let me tell you what'll happen. Emery will kick us when we're down and will never offer us a helping hand!"Linus's expression became even darker after he said that. Those who were able to become one of the highest ranking members of the family, it didn't matter how arrogant they were or how materialistic they were, their basic judgment wouldn't stray too far away from being accurate. He was already able to guess Emery's personality. It was said that there was no love within a royal family. It was the same for wealthy families.The beautiful secretary nodded and whispered, "But Mr. Linus, our biggest problem is we're running out of resources. Without powerful locals from the country to help us right now, we're nothing when we're facing Yvonne
Wolsing Grand Hospital. Midnight.Linus was covered in bandages, looking in extremely bad shape. While he had plenty of bodyguards, the Islanders refused to stop no matter what. After the clash, they had beaten him up thoroughly. While there was no permanent injury, he was still covered in bruises.He used his right hand to pick up a cigar as he cursed, "Bastard! All these traitorous Islanders… They took my money… Not only did they do nothing, but they even attacked me! I will kill them after this!"He gritted his teeth. "And that witch Yvonne! She better not think this is over! One day, I'll find a way to kill all of you! Not only you, I will kill your whole family and that man of yours too!"At this time, Linus was no different from a woman scorned. All that was left for him to do was to take out his little book of grudges and start recording. As for how Yvonne managed to retaliate… Though Linus was furious with her, he was also terrified of her.The plot he had so meticulousl
Everything was over. Whether it was the Xaviers, the Islanders, or someone else, they couldn't do anything about this case anymore. With this video, no one could undo anything.On the second floor, Journi looked at what happened with shock. Only after a long time did she whisper, "All we needed to spend is 5,000?""I guess," Harvey said with a shrug. "But I needed to prepare some money beforehand. My subordinates found out that Linus bribed Nomura and the Islanders 100 thousand per head. Nomura and his ilk are greedy, so they agreed to it. I told my subordinates to leak the news that after the negotiation, Linus could gain a lot more benefits."The Islanders naturally wouldn't accept the fact that they'll only be able to gain a little profit, so our men approached them again and pretended to be part of Linus' men. They agreed to hike the price. I even transferred the money to them, so the Islanders had to give today's performance their all. If they had to go as far as to commit suic
