Creak!At this very moment, the door was pushed aside.Simon Zimmer, Lilian Yates, and Alma John showed up together.Maya Lee was behind them with two bags in her hands.The moment she saw Harvey, she instantly showed an awkward look.Alma came to her senses first when she saw the chaos.“What are you doing, Harvey?!” she furiously exclaimed, rushing forward before lifting Silas John.“My brother’s just here to visit Mandy! How dare you hit him like this?!“Even if you’re jealous, this is no ground for you to do this!“You and Mandy are divorced!“Even if you’re still the live-in son-in-law, you have no right to get jealous!“If you’re that impressive, why didn’t you save Mandy then? I didn’t see you beating up Anthony like this!”Lilian frowned.“What are you trying to do here, Harvey?!” she coldly exclaimed.“I told you! Unless you make Mandy the head of the Jean family, I won’t agree to the remarriage!“You’re already kicked out of the house! What right do you have to
“I won’t blame you since Mandy’s still in one piece, Harvey…“But you better not push it!“You’d do anything out of jealousy!”A righteous look was showing on Lilian Yates’ face.“No matter how capable you are, do you think you’re actually better than Young Master John?“Apologize to him right now, and we’ll consider it done!“If not, don’t even show up in front of my face ever again!”“We’re giving you enough respect! You better know what’s good for yourself!” exclaimed Simon Zimmer coldly.Harvey could not be bothered to respond to the couple.“Do you also trust that this useless filth can actually save you?” asked Harvey York while looking at Mandy Zimmer.“Do you really?”Mandy hesitated. Her logic told her it would be child’s play for Harvey to save her…But all the proof was already there. At this point, it would be hard for him to try stealing the credit.Harvey knew that Mandy was also fooled by Silas after seeing the look on her face.“Get in here, Maya!”Maya L
Maya Lee’s face had completely lost all color as she kept retreating. She finally bumped into a wall when she gritted her teeth, speechless.“I don’t blame you for this.“You suffered a lot for Mandy that night. You were completely beaten up. You also almost got taken away by mistake.“That’s why I forgive you.“That said, Mandy and I don’t owe you anything anymore.“I believe the John family has given you enough.”Harvey York was not angry, nor was he insulting Maya, but every single word cut into her heart like razors. Silas John quickly gave Alma John a look after seeing Maya was on the verge of collapse.“Stop trying to warp the truth, Harvey!” she exclaimed after stepping forward.“Maya was involved in the situation! My brother’s the one who saved Mandy! She said so!“You can’t protect Mandy, but my brother does!”Lilian Yates let out a cold chuckle.“I can finally see your true colors, Harvey!“You wish everything turned out your way!“I thought you were at least c
Harvey chuckled.“You’d rather trust an outsider than me?”“Trust you? How am I supposed to do that?” Mandy sneered.She shot Harvey a glare of daggers.“The picture’s right in front of me!”“My secretary even told me the truth!”“How do you want me to trust you?”“Harvey York…”“I trusted you too much!”Before Harvey could say anything, a series of knocks on the door took his attention.Several grim-looking inspectors entered.Everyone instinctively turned to look.The inspector in the lead had two badges pinned on his shoulder.“Hello,” he said. “We’re from the Golden Sands Police Station. Here are our credentials.”Lilian stared at them with narrowed eyes, quick to realize they were just a bunch of nobodies.“Is there something wrong?” she asked.“We’ve already talked about Anthony last night, haven’t we?”“That’s right! We told you everything we know,” Simon exclaimed.“What’s the matter?”The inspector gazed coldly at them. “This is a different matter.”“Anth
Alma froze.“Marlon’s dead?” she asked in a trembling voice. “Ronnie and his father, too?”The inspector smiled.“That’s right.”“We suspect that the person who heavily injured Anthony is also involved in these incidents.”“Don’t worry, we won’t accuse anyone without solid proof.”“Though we’re requesting you to cooperate with the investigation, it doesn’t mean you’re guilty of anything.Silas squinted at the inspector. “Have you really figured out who the murderer was?”He was certain the police shouldn’t be going against him in the first place.After all, based on Anthony’s testimony, it should’ve been clear that Silas wasn’t involved.He couldn’t figure out who had so much power to make the police forget about all the evidence and shift all blame toward him.‘Is Harvey really powerful enough to clear the accusations on him?’‘Is that why I’m being blamed when I’m trying to take his credit?’The thought came to Silas’s mind, but he immediately squashed it a second later.
The inspector looked at Alma’s pretty face and hesitated.“According to Anthony’s testimony, the person who gave him a concussion is the same person who took out his brother.”“And because Anthony’s nerves are injured, he’s completely blind.“That said, he’s still fine.”“In any case, we have all the evidence we need.”“Judging from the jaw’s sentences, Silas will most likely be executed by gunshot.”“My condolences. You should prepare for the worse.”The inspector sighed.The hero went to save a damsel in distress, yet this was the outcome. How miserable!‘Anthony’s blind?!’‘The person who gave him a concussion was also the one who killed Marlon?!’‘There’s enough evidence!’‘My brother will be executed!’Alma was beside herself with shock.‘We’re finished…!’‘We’re done for!’‘Who knew stealing Harvey’s credit would turn out like this?!’“Come, men!” the inspector said. Take him away!”The inspector waved his hand, signaling for the others to handcuff Silas, who wa
After seeing Harvey leave, Silas and Alma stumbled their way out of the room.At this point, their pride was completely tarnished.They were here to take credit, but they had no choice but to give it away again.No matter how shameless Silas was, he couldn’t bear to stay.Mandy sat blankly on the bed with a face filled with regret.She regretted not trusting Harvey completely.At the same time, she was afraid that Harvey actually killed someone for her sake.Even though Harvey was escorted out of the room politely, they were still the police.“You need to get it together, Mandy!”“You got saved by that savage once, but you’re already this grateful?”Lilian felt annoyed after seeing her daughter in low spirits.“A live-in son-in-law like him has no right to make you like this!”“If it were up to me, you should be thinking of ways to be married into a wealthy family by now!”“That way, you wouldn’t be suffering in the Jean family.”“Look at the ninth branch! Other than gett
“Silas tried to take credit for Mandy’s sake, anyway.”“He loves her too much.”“It’s only natural!”Lilian shamelessly stood up for Silas.“In this day and age, not a lot of men would sacrifice everything for the sake of a woman.”“In my eyes, he’s the best man of them all!”“He’d rather go against everyone in the entire world than the one he loves!”“He’s a rare treasure!”Naturally, Lilian would say anything just to get Mandy with Silas.She twisted Silas’s humiliation and shame into something beautiful, turning him into a romanticist trying to impress his beloved.Simon was rendered speechless by her audacity. It was his first time thinking that his wife was unreasonable beyond hope.Lilian, thinking that she had convinced Simon, glanced smugly at Mandy.“If it were up to me, you should be looking for an opportunity to be with Young Master John!”“Not only will you get rid of Harvey if you marry him, but you’ll have the John family’s support too.”“The ninth branch wi
