“Prince York?”Lilian laughed when she heard that.“You still believe that, Mandy?”“What a joke!”“If he’s actually Prince York, why would he need to give his services as a geomancy expert?”“If that’s the case, why would he need to be Kairi’s kept man in the first place?”“Why is Queenie York the current head of the Yorks of Hong Kong, and not him?”“Do you really think I’d still believe all that now?”“His so-called background, power, and connections…”“Are just there because he’s a kept man!”“He’s just clinging to different women at this point!”“Let’s just talk about Golden Sands!”“Without Kairi, what can he even do?!”“Saul, Kellan, and Azrael…”“They’re only pampering him because he has the support of the hidden family!”“When Kairi’s done with him…”“Do you think he’d still get the chance to stand in front of us?”Lilian threw a stack of documents on the coffee table.“I asked Silas to look into this.”“Kairi Patel, also known as the Poison Fairy!”“The me
Harvey didn’t stay in the villa after his argument with Lilian and Mandy. He went back to the Fortune Hall immediately after.He had already dealt with a lot of things early in the morning.After his fight with Waylon, Fortune Hall had become very well-known.Harvey didn’t even have the time to have a drink. He had no choice but to make Reece and Rodney take care of the place as part of their training.If they did a good job, he promised to fix Waylon’s Book of Changes and teach them everything.The two were a little unhappy at first, but they were ecstatic when they heard Harvey’s promise. They happily worked their butts off soon after.Harvey was a lot less pressured, since two of his disciples were working as well. Even so, he only had time to rest in the afternoon.Seeing that the hall was filled with customers, he decided to buy some things at the geomancy market.The paper and cinnabar were all leftovers provided by Reece. If Harvey wanted to attract Evermore, he’d have t
Gabriel was there too. The two were red in the face as they argued with a few staff.A lot of people were in an uproar as well.Soon after, a woman in a dress showed up. She seemed to be the manager of the place; she had an exquisite face and a beautiful figure.When she narrowed her eyes, one could see arrogance in her gaze.Harvey could tell that Simon was in big trouble. The man wouldn’t act that way if that wasn’t the case.He frowned for a moment before stepping forward.He didn’t want to get involved, but Simon was still his father-in-law. It was only natural for him to ask about the situation.“What’s going on, Dad?” Harvey asked quietly as he stepped forward. Simon glanced at him and gritted his teeth, but said nothing. Gabriel glared disdainfully at Harvey. Thinking of what happened the day before, he didn’t dare insult Harvey. If Harvey got angry and asked for Azrael’s support, he’d be dead before he realized it!Before Simon could explain the situation, the woman
Simon glared haughtily at Esther.“I’m in the geomancy market’s Empire Hall, Silas…” he began. “Someone named Esther John is trying to trick my money out of me. I need your help. You…”“Hello? Hello?”“What did you say, Uncle? The signal’s getting weak…”Beep, beep, beep!The call ended right after.Simon froze. He dialed the number a few more times, but the busy tone would always play. Without Silas’s help, he had no idea how to deal with the situation.“Looks like Young Master John won’t be coming to you!” Esther exclaimed.In reality, she knew that Blaine was the owner of the place. At the end of the day, Silas was just his younger brother!Silas would be insane if he stood up against Blaine for someone else’s sake.Harvey said nothing as they argued. He crouched down to look at the broken pieces on the ground.The exquisite statue was made purely out of porcelain. Aside from the wooden fish in the statue’s hands, everything else was basically dust.Judging from the qual
Simon was shivering with rage. It was his first time enduring such humiliation since he came to Golden Sands.He gritted his teeth, still holding his phone.“I didn’t break the statue! Why should I give you any money? Why should I take responsibility?”“That’s right! What right do you have to push the blame on my father without the cops’ report?” Gabriel exclaimed.“Besides, where’s proof that the statue actually costs 1.5 million dollars?”“Maybe it’s a fake!”Simon was so agitated, he started jumping up and down. “That’s right! The statue’s a fake!”Harvey pinched the shards on the ground. “The statue’s real. No doubt about that.”Everyone froze. They looked at Harvey, puzzled.He was clearly on Simon’s side, yet he was speaking up for Esther.‘What’s going on here?’‘Is that man getting betrayed?’Esther looked at Harvey, and smiled.Simon was boiling with anger. “What are you saying, you b*stard?”“Stop spouting nonsense if you don’t know anything here, Harvey! I’ll
“Don’t worry, Dad.”“I’ll pay the damages.”Harvey grabbed the wooden fish, then handed his Black Card to Esther.“1.5 million. Give me the receipt.”Simon’s face darkened instantly. “Where did you get the money from? Did you steal it from Mandy?”Gabriel immediately got jealous when he heard that. “Right! You must’ve stolen the money!” he yelled. “I’m warning you, Harvey! I’ll sue you if you spend Mandy’s money like this!”“I want you to suffer!”Simon glared fiercely, as if he was looking at a loser.“You think Mandy would have that much money right now?” Harvey retorted. Gabriel and Simon froze, then came back to their senses. All of Mandy’s money was basically used for the Zimmer Enterprise at this point.If she really had the money for Harvey, the Zimmer Enterprise and the ninth branch wouldn’t be in so much trouble.“Azrael lent me the money.”Harvey casually found someone else to blame. Then, he looked at Esther.“Can you hurry up? I’m running out of time.”Si
“You’re embarrassing!” Simon screamed. “From now on, don’t you dare step in the family’s front door from now on!”“If you do, I’ll kick you out like a stray dog!”Facing the crowd’s disdainful gazes, Simon was boiling with anger.He wouldn’t dare lash out at Esther, so he had no choice but to vent all his anger on Harvey.“Ignore this dirtbag, Father,” Gabriel said.“Since he’s so rich that he can make his own decisions, we’ll let him take responsibility.”“Come on, we shouldn’t be near this idiot. People will think that we’re actually with him.”Gabriel hated Harvey to the bone. Because of Harvey, he and his wife were almost dead yesterday.Esther sized up Harvey. After confirming that Harvey wasn’t capable of anything, she chuckled coldly.“We don’t try to please the crowd here.”“If you’re going to be a clown, go outside.”Harvey smiled calmly before putting the shards on the ground. Then, he squeezed the wooden fish lightly.Crack!A rock the size of a thumb was foun
Harvey squinted at the rock in his hand, ignoring everyone in the process.Using his geomancy, he noticed the rock was shining slightly.There was something covering the rock on the outside, making it seem that there was treasure hidden inside.Harvey smiled at Esther, then asked, “Can you lend me some tools?”Esther froze, then scoffed.“Even if there’s a small gem inside…”“It’d be crazy for it to be even a hundred and fifty thousand dollars!”“You really think there’d be insane treasure inside?”“You want to earn money in the geomancy market? Are you out of your mind?”Despite saying all that, Esther waved her hand and had someone give Harvey some tools. She wanted to humiliate Harvey even more.“Is that so?”“You must be quite experienced, Ms. John.”“That said, there are no absolutes in this world.”“There are a lot of things beyond your comprehension.”Under everyone’s gaze, Harvey grabbed some tools and slowly chipped away the sand on the rock. Soon, a half-transpa
