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
“We’ve been married for eight years. We’ve always wanted a child, but we just couldn’t get one,” he said.“We’ve been to every major hospital in Wolsing and Mordu, but we couldn’t find anything…”“A relative told us that it might be because of our lack of energy.”“We need a geomancy expert to help us!”“We heard that Fortune Hall is the oldest place in Golden Sands.”“The owner here is also an impressive geomancy expert.”“Please! Help us take a look!”“We really need a child! Please!”His beautiful wife finally spoke up.“Don’t worry, honey.”“I heard that Fortune Hall’s been passed down to nine different generations. There used to be a prince who couldn’t make a baby during the Whip Dynasty, but he immediately dealt with the problem after consulting with Fortune Hall!”“They can handle everything!”“They won’t disappoint us!”Harvey frowned. Even though the couple spoke highly of Fortune Hall, they were actually planning to put all the blame on the place.Other than de
The customers all looked at each other. They were only here because they were told about Fortune Hall’s impressive feats.They didn’t think that Harvey would actually be this impatient.It was bad enough that he couldn’t solve the problem, but he even told the customers to leave without hesitation.People started to gossip, looking at Harvey with distrust and disdain.Castiel was confused as well.“What are you doing, Master York? Even if we can’t help, we shouldn’t just chase the customers out.”Harvey glared at Castiel. “You’re a little too inexperienced. Today, you need to copy everything from the Centennial Book ten times.”He then took a sip of tea to quench his thirst.“Are you sure you don’t want to leave now?”“It’ll be bad for you if we stay on topic.”The husband glared coldly at Harvey after hearing those words.“What’s the meaning of this?”“Who in the right mind would do business like this?!”“Customers are always right!”“I’ll report you to the housing depar
