“I want you to leave the city with me!” whispered Mandy Zimmer.“We’ll go as far as we can.“We’ll live where nobody knows us, okay?”Harvey York froze. He had once thought of the same thing but could not leave under such circumstances.Mandy’s body froze, as if she saw Harvey’s reluctance.“You don’t want to?”Harvey kept quiet for a moment.“I do, but at least wait until I finish my business in Golden Sands.”“Golden Sands?“What do you still have to do with this place?“Is it because of Kairi Patel? Or is it about Dayna?”Mandy chuckled coldly with an unspeakably sorrowful expression.“You’re just scum after all, Harvey!“Father and Mother said you’ve been thinking about Xynthia lately!“I even fought for you!“And yet what happened?!“Hmph!”Right as Mandy was about to lash out again, the door was slammed open.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates showed up together.Lilian’s gaze was filled with pride as she glared at Harvey with a cold expression.“I told you I was r
Lilian Yates was furious.“I don’t give a f*ck!“What do you know?!“I finally made contact with Young Master John! He agreed to meet with Mandy!“What are we supposed to do if Harvey and her got back together?!”Simon Zimmer froze before heaving a sigh.If Blaine John actually married Mandy Zimmer, it would be perfect for both the family and the ninth branch.Then again, it would always be bad to force such a relationship!At this point, Simon and Lilian had no say in the situation.***Half an hour later, Harvey York and Mandy arrived at a Western restaurant beside the Rio River.Mandy bought a change of clothes nearby before putting them on, then ordered some food for Harvey without much effort.Harvey looked odd when he saw the food in front of him. These were all of his favorites after all.Harvey showed a profound look. He knew that he was still in Mandy’s heart.If not, she would not have done such a thing in the first place.“What? You’re trying to keep me here b
On the next day, at nine o’clock in the morning. A red Ferrari 488 was parked in front of the Fortune Hall.Harvey York wore a robe, as Mandy Zimmer requested, before sitting on the passenger’s seat.Mandy stepped on the pedal when the car sped off as quick as lightning.Harvey flipped through the Centennial Book in his hand while on the road.“Why would you need to be so careful about this particular client?“I have to wear all this?”Harvey felt the most comfortable wearing his casual clothes and extremely uncomfortable wearing a robe like this.Mandy briefly hesitated.“I just met the client. He has connections with the Jean family and has a lot of power.“That said, he’s a bit of a loner. He’s not that easy to hang out with.“Then again, I heard there’s a huge problem with his house. He has been getting headaches and nightmares all year round. He’d even get palpitations whenever he dozed off during the day.“It’s said that he asked for countless well-known doctors to hel
Mandy Zimmer signaled Harvey York to leave the car when she approached the security guard before the entrance.“Hello. I’m Mandy Zimmer of the Jean family’s ninth branch. I brought a geomancy expert to help,” she said politely.“I already called Ms. Amora beforehand.”The security guard took a few good glances at Mandy before taking his walkie-talkie out. Then, he hung up and pressed a button, opening the gate for Mandy and Harvey to head inside.The two came across an elegant-looking garden.A woman with a pretty face and a beautiful long dress walked out from the villa not far ahead.She was exuding the aura of an upperclassman. She looked just like a high and mighty princess, looking down at the entire world.She glanced at Mandy before calmly speaking.“Hello, Mrs. Zimmer.”She had her arms completely crossed, not wanting to make any sort of contact with Mandy.This was enough to show just how prideful she actually was.Harvey squinted at the woman in front of him. Judgi
At the same time, he recognized the person’s identity.He was Brayan Foster from one of the top ten families.“Mrs. Zimmer’s here, Father!”Amora Foster respectfully stepped forward after seeing the man before her.“She brought a young man who she calls the best geomancy expert in the city.”She was clearly filled with disdain the moment she said those words.Naturally, she was not interested in a young man who took such a title.Even then, she would not kick Harvey out herself. She wanted to let Brayan make the decision instead.Judging from this, it was enough to show just how much she respected her father.“Thank you, Mandy.“The top ten families are banded together. Just come to me if you need any help.“You really don’t have to be this courteous.”Brayan did not seem prideful at all. He stood before politely shaking hands with Mandy like a true gentleman.Harvey spread his energy to scout the place before understanding Brayan’s situation.“You’re too kind, Mr. Brayan
If Mandy Zimmer was not the head of the ninth branch…And if the top ten families were not banded together…Mandy would not even be allowed past the front door in the first place.“I understand what you mean.”Brayan Foster did not show much respect, but Mandy was still showing a smile on her face.“I heard you got into problems that only a geomancy expert could fix.“That was why I brought Sir York, the best geomancy expert in the city, to help.“If you don’t mind, why not let him give it a go?”Mandy knew it would be hard to get in Brayan’s good graces. That was why she asked Harvey York here. She would not dare reveal that Harvey was her ex-husband either.It would be hard to do anything if she did.But from another perspective, she hoped she could break the ice with Harvey’s geomancy arts.“The best in the city?“Him?”Brayan glanced at Harvey before showing a disdainful expression.Harvey was wearing a robe with a Centennial Book in hand…But in Brayan’s mind, he wa
Mandy Zimmer understood that there was no saving the situation anymore.“I’m sorry,” she said after heaving a huge sigh.“Excuse me for disturbing you. I’ll be off now.”“Oh, Amora. Please send off the guest properly. Give this young man 1.5 million dollars as a small gift for the consultation fee. They came all the way here for this after all.”Soon after, Brayan Foster picked up his scripture again.“Remember, don’t let anyone disturb me other than Mr. Davis.“I need to rest.”Time was the most precious thing for a prominent figure like Brayan.Wasting time on ordinary people was no different than wasting his own life.Amora Foster lightly nodded.“I understand.”She disdainfully pulled out a checkbook and threw a check before Harvey York after signing it.Naturally, she wanted Harvey to pick it up from the ground as a form of humiliation.Harvey showed a faint smile.He already figured out what was going on with Brayan.It would not be difficult for him to deal with t
Harvey York did not mind at all.“Brayan Foster’s a powerful man from the top ten families after all…“It’s only natural for him to look down on a small fry like me.“This has nothing to do with you.“More importantly, I’m sure they’ll beg for my help soon enough.”Harvey showed utter confidence in his calm words.Other than his experiences preventing him from getting angry at such a trivial matter, he believed his words would come true sooner or later.Mandy Zimmer heaved a sigh after seeing Harvey unperturbed.“Maybe I should treat you to a meal tonight…”Harvey smiled faintly.“What? Don’t you hate eating with me?“Why the sudden change? Are you trying to hook up with me or something?”Mandy was infuriated. She wanted to kick Harvey, but there was no way since the two were in the car.Right when the two were fooling around, the villa gate slid open again.A short-haired woman in business attire walked out with eight bodyguards with loaded firearms.The woman was Amora
