“What kind of hotshot do you think my mother could be friends with?“If I’m guessing correctly, the one who’s coming must be Aunt Witby.“She’s a local from Mordu. She isn’t that successful, but her ego shows the exact opposite. She’s cut from the same cloth as my mother!“If Mother gets her here, then…”Thinking of Mandy’s predicament, Harvey started to feel a headache.Everything else aside, Aunt Witby’s relationship with Lilian was enough to show how impressive she was.Harvey couldn’t help but shiver when he imagined the two bickering.He shouldn’t stay any longer. He’d suffer if he did.He decided to leave as soon as Mandy was done with her food.As for Ostrane One, he didn’t mind letting Lilian stay there.The place was already Mandy’s, anyway—it was her property. She had all the right to decide how she wanted to use it.Harvey was just about to slip out of the place after the meal.Just then, Mandy’s phone suddenly rang again.She quickly picked up the phone, and he
On the side of the corridor, many people were gathered together. Their eyes were red.They were all tall and strong; some of them had terrifying tattoos on them.They all looked at Maya and the others with fierce glares. Though they were dressed ordinarily, they looked like thugs to Maya and the others.Maya and the executives prayed that everything would go well in the emergency room. If not, the thugs would be enraged and make their lives a living hell.“What happened here? Why is the injured in the emergency room?”The sounds of clacking high heels could be heard. A fashionable woman with a Chanel bag walked over.Her long legs, covered in black stockings, were nothing short of alluring. Her beautiful face could topple entire civilizations.The woman was none other than Mandy herself.Harvey, who had remained discreet, followed closely behind.He frowned as he looked around him, then instinctively looked at his compass. He looked puzzled.Mandy’s appearance had grabbed eve
Mandy froze. “Talk? About what?”“Talk about what?” The man intentionally froze, then screamed to the crowd.“Listen to this! What’s this tone?“While working for the company, my dad got into an accident and was brought into the emergency room!“We’re here talking to her about compensation, but she’s acting all oblivious about it!“Are us workers just ants to you capitalists? Are our lives worth nothing to you?“Don’t we not get a chance to speak after hurting ourselves for your sake?“Aren’t you even going to talk to us? Are we not human to you?“We’ll call the cops on you for this! We’ll get the government involved, too!“We want your entire company bankrupt!”The patients and their families standing not far away glanced at Mandy and the rest, curious. Some people got an idea about the situation, and started gossiping up a storm.Someone even took out their phones to take pictures. After all, the big fuss would no doubt turn into big news.Harvey frowned at the people who
“That’s right! Mr. Lee is the pillar of our family! We all rely on him to survive!“You think you can just get away with thirty thousand dollars? What are you thinking?! “Let me tell you something! Mr. Lee’s in bad shape right now!“If he wasn’t hurt, he could’ve kept working for thirty more years! You think you can just get away with not compensating for that?”Mandy was speechless. It was her first time seeing someone this unreasonable.A higher-up couldn’t hold his anger back any longer, and yelled, “Mr. Lee’s sixty-three years old! Even with the country’s regulations, he can only work until he’s sixty-five. When that happens, he’ll retire! He can’t even work for thirty more years!”Slap!“Stop yapping!”The man took a step forward and slapped the higher-up to the ground.“Why does that matter to you?!“Who do you think you are? How dare you get involved?!“In any case, none of you get to leave unless we have a deal!”Click!Right as Harvey was about to step up, the li
The man froze; he narrowed his eyes as he sized up Harvey.“What? Are you trying to save the damsel in distress? Who are you? Tell me your name!” he exclaimed, cracking his neck threateningly. “Let me see if you have the right to get yourself involved!”“I’m Mandy’s husband,” Harvey replied.“Husband?”The man froze again, then revealed a profound expression.“I know now! You’re the legendary live-in son-in-law!“I heard you’ve never even touched your wife’s hand after being married for three years!“You might as well slam your head to the damn ground for being a man like that!“You’re giving me another chance? Do you have the right? Are you worthy?”The man spat on the ground.“Come on then, you filthy piece of crap! I’ll give you a chance, too! I’ll let you go if you lick this up clean!“If not, you’ll pay your price!“I want your wife to pay for my dad’s life!”The man waved his hand, and his scoundrel-liked family members walked forward.There were some women among th
Mandy was worried. If she knew that all this was going to happen, she wouldn’t have brought Harvey with her.Without a second thought, she quickly ran and held Harvey’s hand.“Forget it, Harvey. Lift him up and apologize to him. We’ll just pay a little more, is all.”The man chuckled wretchedly.“Money isn’t enough, pretty lady!“I heard you have a sister as well! The conditions are different now!“I want you and your sister to sleep with me for a month! If not…”Crack!Harvey instantly snapped the man’s wrist by stepping on it.A loud crack resounded; the man rolled on the ground, wailing like a dying pig.The horrifying sight turned the entire place dead silent.Nobody expected Harvey to be so reckless.The incident turned into an assault almost instantly.Harvey would have to live his life behind bars if he wasn’t careful.Mandy and the Zimmer Enterprise would probably have to pay a great price just to deal with the situation.Simply put, the entire situation was made
Before Harvey could say anything, the man had already fanned the flames.“He did this, Inspector Braff!“I was just asking for a reasonable compensation for my dad’s death!“It’s already bad enough that he’s not paying! He even slapped me and broke my hand!“He said that the city belongs to him!“You need to help us ordinary citizens, Inspector Braff!“We’re relying on you!“You’re our living legend, after all!”After hearing the man’s distorted truth, Inspector Braff’s face darkened. He squinted at Harvey.“Are you a gangster, kid? You’re pretty cocky, aren’t you?“How dare you assault and harm this man! You’d have to be locked behind bars for at least three years with any of these charges!“You’re in the hospital right now! Your sentence will surely increase because of this!“That said, I’ll make sure to speak up for you if you stop this instant.”Inspector Braff pulled out a pair of silver handcuffs, and threw it right in front of Harvey.The man and his family grinned
Inspector Braff frowned, then waved his hand. Another inspector jogged to check the surveillance footage soon after.After a moment, he returned with a horrible expression and whispered something into Inspector Braff’s ear.Inspector Braff pondered the situation before sighing.“I really want to believe you, kid…“But it’s a shame. The footage didn’t do anything to help.“You don’t have proof.“I’m sorry, but you’ll have to come with us!”Mandy’s expression changed after hearing those words.“Inspector Braff! I can prove what Harvey said was true!“Not only did Mr. Lee ask for fifteen million dollars worth of compensation, he even demanded me to sleep with him for a night…”Mandy’s face was bright red, but she still explained the situation for Harvey’s sake.“Harvey stood up for me. You should forgive him.”Inspector Braff froze, then sighed again.“I’d really like to believe you.“But even if what you’re saying is true… Him saying that to you during a loved one’s death c
