“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
Nova felt very proud of herself. After all, Archa Corporation was being ridiculously generous to give her such a high salary!Judging from the salary, it wouldn’t be hard for her to get fifty thousand dollars per year!Aunt Anderson was still in disbelief.“Is that call really from Archa Corporation? There’s no mistake, right?”“Mmm. I’m sure of it! I met the manager before, too. She sounds exactly the same!”Nova’s pompous expression was blatant.“Those people really do have a good eye after all!”Mandy glanced at Harvey, a profound expression on her face.She didn’t think that Harvey had such a good relationship with Archa Corporation.A simple call was enough to deal with the entire situation.‘It’s not because of Kairi, is it?’She could barely hear the voice of a woman on Harvey’s phone before. There were only so many who had the company’s respect in Golden Sands, after all.Harvey chuckled bitterly upon sensing a spark of jealousy in the air.He couldn’t just say t
“You belong to the ninth branch! Wes has no respect for you people!”“What can a live-in son-in-law even do at this point? What kind of respect can he get?”“You don’t even know how to bluff!”Naturally, Aunt Anderson didn’t believe that Harvey actually helped with the situation.“You…”Lilian was shaking with rage upon seeing Aunt Anderson turn her back as soon as she got what she wanted.She didn’t actually believe that Harvey actually did this, but she couldn’t help but speak up.“Harvey! Tell her that you did it!”Naturally, she knew Nova had no right to be in Zimmer Enterprise with her meager abilities, let alone a place like Archa Corporation.That was why she thought that maybe Harvey and Wes knew each other.With everything that had happened in Flutwell, Lilian was sure Harvey managed to get support from some prominent figure.She disdained Harvey, but she didn’t want Aunt Anderson to take all the credit and trample all over her either.After seeing Mandy’s horrible
The night was destined to be busy. Lilian’s screams could occasionally be heard while she was gritting her teeth. Nobody was able to get any rest because of it.The next day, early in the morning. Harvey had a change of clothes as he was going to meet up with Kairi to talk about his geomancy shop.As soon as he got outside, his phone rang.Harvey picked up the call; Arlet’s shy voice could be heard.“Punk…”“Are you looking for a beating again?” Harvey calmly said.Arlet instinctively tensed up after hearing Harvey’s stern tone.“Do you have time?” she asked after scoffing coldly.“No. I’m looking for a shop here,” Harvey replied.“I have all sorts of those anyway…”Arlet was speechless.“Just tell me what you’re looking for! I’ll get so many shops to fit your taste, to the point you’d vomit.”“It’s fine. I’ll look for my own.”Harvey declined immediately.“Honestly! You’re turning your back on me after I did everything you wanted yesterday?”Arlet was dumbstruck.Harve
Harvey froze after seeing the mother and daughter pair.Nova should’ve been at work already, so why was she at the main hall?Right as Harvey walked in, Aunt Anderson was waving her phone with a righteous look.“You’re the manager of the personnel department, right?”“I’m Nova’s mother!”“She’s the talent you offered thousands of dollars to work for you, Nova Anderson!”“I’m so sorry! The entire family went to celebrate last night. We forgot to set an alarm after we drank so much!”“Please give Nova a pass! She’s a true talent, after all!”Harvey was completely speechless; the family was filled with idiots after all.They barely managed to work in Archa Corporation, yet they came this late…‘Do they actually think that they’re capable?’“Of course, you don’t have to worry!”“My daughter will never ditch work since she said that she wants to be here!”Aunt Anderson’s prideful expression was evident to everyone.“Right! Now that we’re here, you should at least welcome us, r
Aunt Anderson stood up furiously and stormed toward Harvey.“Why are you even here?”“Did your damn mother-in-law send you to follow us?”“Looks like the rumors were true! Your family’s about to go bankrupt, huh?”“How dare you try to steal our limelight!”Naturally, Aunt Anderson disdained the Zimmer family utterly.‘They didn’t even lend a hand when I needed them to, and now, they’re getting their live-in son-in-law to cling to my daughter when she has a bright future ahead of her?’‘What a joke!’“Leave! Leave right now!”Aunt Anderson was screaming in anger.“You won’t get a damn job here!”“Do you even know what this place is?!”“Without a proper educational background, you don’t even have the right to clean the toilets here!”“Do you think everyone’s just as talented as my daughter or something?”Harvey ignored the crazy woman in front of him. This was just too embarrassing.After seeing Harvey remain silent, Nova raised her beautiful face.“You hear that, Harvey?
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
