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
Lilian didn’t know where Harvey picked the card up from…She instinctively took a glance, and was immediately shocked.“That’s right! That’s Wes’s card! Only people he’s friends with can have that!”“Heh, heh! Wes’s card?”Aunt Anderson got even more furious after hearing those words.“If your live-in son-in-law can get Wes’s card, then I should be able to get the Golden Sands’ first-in-command’s card!”“You people have connections with the Jean family—you’re basically rich for being the head of the ninth branch! How did you get so shameless after that?”“Not only do you keep spouting nonsense, but you’re even using such a lame reason to sugarcoat everything!”“You disappoint me!”“If you hate us, just spit it out! We won’t show up ever again! Are you happy?!”Aunt Anderson was seething with rage, and recalled the gift she had brought from a stall.She felt that she needed to take the purple teapot on the table away to recuperate from her loss.Lilian and Simon’s bodies wer
