“Since Mandy got this for us, we’ll have no choice but to accept it!”Aunt Witby stuffed the vase into her bag soon after.Elodie Jean also found some beads on the armrest.“Mandy prepared so many things for us, Mother!“We probably wouldn’t find the Beads of Eyes of this quality in Flutwell!”Aunt Witby felt exhilarated.“What a smart girl! How did she know I was planning to give this to you as your birthday present?!“In any case, you should just keep it!“I’m very happy today! I won’t get mad at you for it!”“Of course!”Elodie happily kept the beads.Harvey York was utterly speechless. He brought the Beads of Eyes all the way from Flutwell. He had been meaning to consecrate it but forgot about it.He did not expect that the mother and daughter would just take it without permission.“Take it out,” exclaimed Harvey coldly.“Take what out?“Mandy gave these to us! We’re paying her respect for keeping all this! So what if we keep them?“This has nothing to do with a dri
Harvey York stepped on the brakes.“Do you want me to repeat myself?“I said…“That you don’t deserve to be in this car!”“How dare you act all high and mighty when you’re just a damn driver?! I’ll tell you…”Elodie Jean screamed in a threatening tone.Before she was done talking, the car was rammed in the back by a Porsche.Elodie lashed out in rage.“How dare you ram our car like that?! You’ll pay for this!”Harvey looked at the rear-view mirror when he saw a familiar face.That said, the person seemed a bit nervous.Harvey did not know what happened. He ignored Elodie and stepped out of the car with a frown to take a look.Elodie immediately changed expression after seeing Harvey walk outside.“Ignore him! He didn’t want to get out before, right?” said Aunt Witby after coldly chuckling.“He won’t get a chance to get back inside now!”Aunt Witby climbed to the driver’s seat before she stepped on the gas.Harvey completely ignored the sight when he went to the Porsche
“Of course it is!Penny Jackson instinctively trembled.“The Lopez family is also called the Corpse Walkers.“I attended a martial arts conference not long ago in Kurbus. I don’t know if it was just bad luck that day, but the young master, Cedric Lopez, got interested in me!“I didn’t leave anything much back then. To prevent me from getting pestered, we added each other online before I immediately left!“I also blocked him after that!“I don’t know how he had that many connections to find out who I actually was! The Lopez family is even working together with my family for business!“I have no idea what they gave my father for him to agree to a date like this!“I kept refusing, but my father insisted that I’d have feelings for the young master after meeting each other, saying that young people’s feelings are developed during encounters!“He doesn’t know that the man smells like formalin! I feel disgusted as soon as I get close to that man!“The man even called me just now, sa
There were many people in high spirits and prideful looks, as if they were the world’s greatest leaders.Everyone cheered when they saw Penny Jackson show up. It was clear that she was the main character of the night.“You’re finally here, Penny! Young Master Cedric Lopez didn’t even want to order anything without you!”“Yeah! He said that the meal’s only complete with you here!”“He loves you so much, Penny! He told us how he fell in love at first sight as soon as he saw you! What a romantic man! You shouldn’t miss out on that chance!”“You wouldn’t need to fight for survival for the rest of your life with him supporting you!”“He said he’ll even conquer the world for you if that’s what you want!”“He’d also let you do whatever you want with his family business!”A few women with extravagant clothing and beautiful makeup gathered around. They were all Penny’s friends and family.They were constantly bickering about as if they were certain Penny was about to marry Cedric.The
Harvey York was an impressive man with good looks, but his clothes were just too plain.In those people’s eyes, Harvey would never look the part even if he wore a proper expensive suit.And yet Penny Jackson was calling him her boyfriend…‘How is that possible?!“You’re so reckless, Penny!“You’re still playing games like this now?”\A woman with long, narrow eyes pouted.“Nobody’s heard that from you ever!“More importantly, you’re the lady of the Jackson family!“Even if you’re looking for a boyfriend, at least find someone of your caliber!“Do you think we’re idiots? Why would you just bring out a random person and call him your boyfriend?“Or are you saying Young Master Cedric is the idiot here?”Penny showed a gentle smile when she held onto Harvey’s arm.“I would never joke about something like this!“I met Harvey online! It’s what you call… an online date!“We just met each other in real life! We’re also very fond of each other!“That said, I haven’t brought him
Soon, the crowd started to get excited again with Cedric Lopez’s warm hospitality.All sorts of delicious food and wine were brought over. Glasses were constantly clinking with each other. It was a lively sight.“Come! Come! Master York, right? It must be fate for us to meet! If you have time, come over to Kurbus! Just give me a call if you get in trouble. I’m sure I can deal with anything for you if you ask…”Cedric showed a gentle look when he poured Harvey York a glass of wine.“Have a drink! This is good stuff here…“I wonder if you know how to differentiate good wine from the bad ones…”Harvey faintly smiled when he looked at Cedric. It was safe to say that he was being so obvious that it was cute.Harvey did not hold back when he took a sip of his wine.“Good man. It’s good to see you all.“This is good stuff. It has a delectable taste. This must be 1987 Latour…”“Oh! You do know your stuff!”A woman with long, narrow eyes showed a faint smile with a peculiar expressio
“Good point! Why would you be a con man if you’re actually successful?”The man with golden-rimmed glasses burst out laughing. His words were full of ridicule.The crowd burst out laughing after hearing those words.The woman with long, narrow eyes approached Harvey York before showing a faint smile.“Master York, why don’t you take a look at me since you’re so impressive? I do want to know when I’ll find my true Prince Charming!”Everyone’s gaze became a lot more playful.The woman was a well-known social butterfly in Kurbus. She already had unspeakable relationships with the men around her.What a joke for her to even ask for Harvey’s help!Even a true geomancy expert would not be able to answer that question, let alone a con man!Harvey put his glass down before looking at the woman, faintly smiling.“If I’m correct, you must be from the Robbins family, right?“Are you sure you want my help?“My services are expensive.”The woman froze after hearing Harvey point out her
“If your man is nothing but filth, I can tell you I won’t give up until I have you.“After all, filth has no right to be with you.”Cedric Lopez picked up his glass before swirling it around as if he had control of the entire situation.“You…”Penny Jackson’s face was bright red after being completely infuriated by those words.She was just about to stand up for Harvey York before he stood up and gently pushed her back to her seat.Cedric squinted his eyes after looking at the intimate sight. A hint of fire could be seen in his eyes.Harvey put his glass down with a smile while completely ignoring Cedric.“We can play if that’s what you want.“But judging from your status, money alone is just not fun enough.“After all, at this point, those are just numbers to you.“Betting on something you don’t need for such an important person in my life is quite unfair now, is it?“Why don’t we have a fair bet instead?”Cedric showed a cold glare.“How would you like to play?” he aske
