On the next day, early in the morning. Harvey York already left his room.He hesitated when he walked past Mandy Zimmer’s room. He did not want to knock on the door in case a fight were to break out again.Lilian Yates was on a call with someone when Harvey came to the living room.She looked away, with disdain showing on her face, as soon as he walked past.Naturally, she knew why he was fighting with Mandy the night before. She had been talking about his shameless acts on the phone for the longest time.Harvey glared at Lilian without saying a word before he left. Right as he was heading out, Lilian mentioned Aunt Anderson’s name.Harvey was confused.‘She’s still talking to Aunt Anderson?’After all, Lilian should have been completely against her after what had happened last time.Harvey did not pay much attention since it was a trivial matter. He quickly got inside his car before driving to Fortune Hall.“Have you eaten breakfast yet, Sir York?”Leona Foley was already a
Leona Foley understandingly nodded.After having some snacks and a sip of hot tea, Harvey York showed a smile on his face.“Right! Since it’s all settled, let’s buy a few clothes at the shopping mall tonight.“You’re my spokesperson, after all. You have to look the part.“You’ll be tasked with an extremely important project! The people you’ll meet are either rich or powerful! Don’t let them look down on you!”Harvey did not just make the decision impulsively.Lola Hoffman was already dealing with the junkyard at this point.Everyone was spreading rumors about how insane Lola actually was, but Harvey knew the company would be instantly known as soon as Golden Garden was dug up.It was only normal to dress up Leona appropriately before the occasion anyway.More importantly, Reece Foley was an extremely talented geomancy expert with a valuable house…But he usually would not charge his customers for a large amount of money, nor did he have a lot since most of his savings were us
“Please don’t touch the clothes, Miss! Our products are precious here! We won’t be able to sell them if you dirty them!”Just as Leona was about to take the clothes down, a prideful woman, who seemed like the store manager, strutted over in her high heels with a disdainful expression.Leona froze before she instinctively replied, “I’m sorry. I’d like to buy these clothes here. Can you bring them down for me to try?”“You want to try them on?The manager sized up Leona and was disdainful when she saw her fading shirt.“Are you sure you can buy something this expensive? Why would I even let you try this on?!”“What are you saying?!“You’re talking to the lady of Fortune Hall herself!”Thomas could not help but speak up after hearing those words.“The lady of Fortune Hall?”The manager froze before forcing out a smile.Even someone like her had heard about the news.The Fortune Hall was not as famous as before, but the manager would not dare go against prominent figures like t
After hearing Henley Johnson’s words, a few customers quickly formed a circle around the commotion with disdainful expressions.‘Not only is that man ignoring his family’s needs, but he’s also out here trying to find a sugar mommy!’‘How shameless can he get?!’“Henley, right?”Leona Foley’s face instantly darkened after hearing Henley relentlessly criticizing Harvey York.“We’re here to shop, not to hear you run your mouth!“I’ll sue you for this!”Leona did not care that she was being insulted…But she just could not accept Harvey getting the same treatment.“You’re suing?Henley was in disbelief.“Is your head okay?“Don’t you know that I’m one of the ten Golden Managers of the Royal Mall?“What’s the point of suing me?!“Kept man like these are everywhere! I can tell just by looking at them!“I’m saying all this for your own good!“Not only will your family not sue me for this, but they’ll also thank me for this!“You sure you can even afford these clothes?”A few
The other shopping guides showed righteous looks after hearing those arguments.‘Not only can they not buy the clothes, but they’re also causing us all this trouble!’Leona Foley was a little angry at the sight.“What kind of manager are you, Henley Johnson?!“What’s the point of treating us like this?!“Do you really think we can’t buy the clothes?!”“Treating you like this?Henley let out a chortle.“You overestimate yourself, Miss.“Do you think you have the right to say something like that?“I’m one of the Golden Managers here! I earn hundreds and thousands of dollars every single year!“You? You’re just a woman with a faded shirt! Stop pretending to be rich already!“Even if you’re going to buy clothes, this is not somewhere you should be right now!Then, Henley pointed toward the street outside.“Just walk here for a while, and you’ll see a lot of stalls around soon enough!“You only need a few dollars per clothing as well! You’ll definitely be able to afford it!
“All of it?Henley Johnson showed a disdainful glare before she burst out laughing.“Does he think he’s a wealthy heir or something? He’s just a kept man!“Do people have no self-awareness nowadays?!“If he can even afford a sock in that store, I’ll admit defeat!”After all, many of the rich and powerful would not even dare buy anything from the Elegant Edge.‘A kept man wouldn’t even have the money for this!’A large group of shopping guides and customers quickly came over to watch Harvey York make a joke out of himself.The staff from the Elegant Edge hesitated when they looked at each other, but they decided to fully serve Leona in the end.Soon after, every piece of suitable clothing was chosen. Dozens of bags with clothing worth millions of dollars were filled.Beep!A small receipt popped out as soon as Harvey casually swiped his card.“Huh?!”Everyone around was completely shocked.The shopping guides and guests were filled with utter disbelief. They were all showi
When Harvey York and the others returned, a dozen cars were already gathered around the place.The police, the housing department, and even the street department were there.Simply put, those people represented the government’s joint law enforcement.Dozens of people in uniform were completely surrounding the place, laying their hands on everything with fierce looks on their faces.Someone was even driving their excavator with a righteous yet distant gaze.Two bald men were standing in the very front. One of them was taller than the other. The other was a little stockier.The tall one was wearing the uniform of the housing department with a tag on his chest labeled ‘Samson Lee’. The chubbier man was an inspector of the police department called Cyrus Bierstadt.The two were usually employed by the government together to sweep out any illegal buildings.Their target for the day was none other than Fortune Hall itself.Cliff Saban did not show up but had already told his subord
“Scamming people?”The customers were shocked.“There must be some mistake, Inspector!”“Yeah! Fortune Hall’s been around for so many years now! At this point, everyone in the locality is an old customer!“More importantly, they don’t even take any money!”“How are they supposed to scam people?!”“Yeah! Fortune Hall’s been here since the Whip Dynasty! What do you mean that there are illegal documents?!”“Are you people cursed or something? Are your heads okay?”Everyone burst out laughing, thinking that Samson Lee and Cyrus Bierstadt were making a mountain out of a molehill.“We represent the law! Don’t you see?!“This place is a huge scam! People will die for this!“How can you not understand this?!”Samson’s face instantly darkened before he screamed at the crowd, “Go! Get out of here before I also arrest all of you for the investigation!”“You people have no say whether the place is a scam!”“Yeah! This place has been for the locals since the beginning! It’s fine as lo
