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
Soren froze, then grinned. “I underestimated you, Sir York.”“Let’s get back to business, then.”“All your traces from Marlon’s incident have been wiped out completely.”“However, we still need to explain Anthony’s situation.”“What are you thinking?”“At this point, can’t you just give me a Good Citizen Award?” Harvey asked. Soren’s eyes twitched, then he chuckled. “I don’t think that’s enough…”Harvey was right to stand up for what was just. However, there would be quite the dispute if he went to court just because he wanted to save his ex-wife.Even Soren wouldn’t dare give him a Good Citizen Award.Seeing Soren’s bitter expression, Harvey smiled.“Forget it. I won’t make it harder for you,” he said.“Just deal with the case as you should.”“I’ll give you my full support.”“Do you need me to get someone to bail me out?”Soren shuckled apologetically.“I’ve already arranged that for you.”“It’s good enough that you’re not angry about this.”Naturally, Soren knew
Harvey felt someone looking at him when he sat in the car’s passenger seat.He instinctively turned around, and saw the Porsche. Someone was rolling up the car window.“Mandy…”Harvey frowned. He wanted to explain the situation, but the Porsche already drove off.He let out a sigh, knowing that she was angry. He decided to find another opportunity to explain himself before the remarriage was ruined.Realizing that there was something in Harvey’s mind, Kairi stopped teasing him. She quickly left after taking him to Fortune Hall.Harvey didn’t ask for Kairi to stay, either. He started tending to the customers after boiling some tea for himself.On one hand, he wanted to distract himself from other things for the time being. On the other hand, he wanted to grow his business so he could actually attract Evermore.The organization wouldn’t even bat an eye at him if he didn’t have a business like this.Castiel went to the main hall after getting word of Harvey’s arrival. The two wer
