“Let’s stop talking about this.”Tara Lewis forcefully skipped over the topic and stopped everyone from ridiculing Harvey York.But she had her own thoughts as well, she did not want to expose Harvey as a wealthy man to the others.After listening to Tara, the alumni only awkwardly chuckled. Tara had a high status and identity after all, they did not want to embarrass her.Soon, most of the alumni went back to their seats but nobody wanted to sit where Harvey sat.Tara went to sit on his left on her own accord, some good friends of hers followed her and sat beside her as well.Harvey was sitting surrounded by beautiful women once again, his luck with women was truly exceptional.Not far from them, a few alumni gathered around Gary Jones.“Brother Jones, looks like Queen Lewis has the hots for Harvey! He already turned into a joke, but she still treats him this nicely. Looks like you’re not going to get the woman in your arms that easily tonight!”Gary said coldly, “Relax, you
“Gwen, you may not know about this. Colin Sanders’ father is a real big shot, who wouldn’t wait for him?!”“Who cares if the others are doing well for themselves. Their yearly income is worth thousands? They’re still babies compared to Colin anyway!”Even though the statement seemed preposterous, it was a solid fact!Not long after, a sound echoed through the hallway.Everyone stood up. Gary Jones was especially ecstatic, immediately zipping his way to the front.Colin was wearing ordinary clothes without any specific brands, but he was wearing Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Watch on his wrist. The shine on his watch bezel was truly blinding under the shine of the lights.A man like so would not need luxurious brands to serve as foil, a watch was enough to prove his identity.A lean and enchanting lady that was 5.6 feet tall had accompanied him standing by his side, it was quite obvious that she was a model.“Master Sanders, I’ve been looking forward to seeing you here.”Gary was
“Ah, this man is lucky. He actually made Master Sanders remember him!”“But Master Sanders, you guessed correctly. The shameless man actually came here!”Gary Jones immediately shifted his gaze toward Harvey York that was calm and collected at that moment and said, “You’re not even going to greet Master Sanders? Harvey, are you looking down on him right now?”Colin Sanders gave a faint smile.“No no no… I don’t deserve it!“Harvey was a legend in our university previously. Even my father remembers him, and tells me to learn from him…”“Learn how to be a live-in son-in-law, I assume?”“Hahaha…”Everyone burst out laughing after hearing that.Someone glared at Harvey furiously and said, “Harvey, why are you just standing there for? Can’t you hear that Master Sanders remembered you?”“Hurry up and shine his shoes! If so, Master Sanders might even give you something to eat!”“Yeah! Or do you really want to stay a kept man your whole life? Are you even a man?”“...”Everyone ke
The place had gotten dead silent. Everyone held in their breath, nobody dared to even let out a breath of air.Angering Colin Sanders would only lead to dire consequences after all.Everyone was afraid that the filth, Harvey York would drag them down the water with him.Harvey York’s body did even move an inch at that moment. His face was as cold as ice, ignoring Colin as if he were made of thin air.“I’ll say it one more time. Roll out of here, get out of my sight!”Colin’s face was as cold as ice, his tone was as frigid.In all honesty, not only when Harvey became someone’s live-in son-in-law, Colin could not even stand Harvey back then when he was a rich heir.In modern times, power triumphs over money!Harvey kept sipping his tea and not even batting an eye at Colin.Colin’s eyes twitched. The social media influencer girl by his side suddenly walked up and picked up the cup of tea on the table and poured it on Harvey’s body.“Did you not hear Master Sanders? Master Sander
In the next moment, Colin Sanders had swung his palm, wanting to slap Harvey York across his face.But in an instant, Harvey’s hands were as swift as lightning. He grabbed onto Colin’s wrist and twisted it with powerful force.Bang!At the same time, Harvey immediately kicked Colin down to his knees.He made a sound similar to a pig’s squeal when it gets killed, his whole body kneeled in front of Harvey.Slap!Harvey stepped up and gave a slap across Colin’s social media influencer girl and sent her tumbling to the ground.The two were acting proud like a peacock moments ago, thinking that they were kings and behaving as if they were able to control everything.But then, the two were kneeling in front of Harvey.“What are you doing, Harvey?! How dare you lay your hands on Master Sanders? Don't you want to live anymore?”“Harvey, are you actually mad?!”“Harvey, you’re harassing the man!”At that moment, Gary Jones was leading the crowd that was screaming to rush forward.H
Harvey glanced at Tara and chuckled. “Why should I run away? I’m waiting for this douchebag to apologize to me!”Tara became speechless, not knowing what to say. In her eyes, Harvey was too full of himself. In no more than ten minutes, cars rolled into the front yard of Kingdom Palace, followed by a bunch of people storming in.At the sound of rushing footsteps, Colin Sanders instantly grew excited.His father was finally here!A renowned man, with real power!Harvey, a mere live-in-son-in-law, was nothing more than a speck of dust before his father!Colin was not the only one. Gary Jones and his clique was filled with exhilaration.Normally, none of them would have a chance to meet hot shots like Colin’s dad in person. Yet, today, they would be seeing one in the flesh! A stylishly-dressed, middle-aged man led the entering crowd as they burst into the restaurant, striding in with an air of absolute dominance.This man was none other than Chester Sanders. His subordinates ta
Chester Sanders acted as if he heard nothing. He continued to look at Harvey, desperately waiting for Harvey to speak. If Harvey wasn’t planning to speak at all, Chester wouldn’t even dare breathe.“Oh, I’m fine. It’s just that my shirt got stained. I bought it from a roadside stall for two dollars, and I kind of like it.” Harvey said, unperturbed, acting as if the whole situation was something extremely trivial.Chester’s eyes instantly fell on Harvey’s shirt. He noticed the large wet stain on it, with some tea leaves stuck.Immediately, Chester fumed. He straightened up, his dominant air returning. He glared across the room and bellowed angrily, “Who did this? What kind of person would pour a drink all over someone?!”His subordinates, who knew nothing about what happened, yelled along. “Who did this?!”Subconsciously, everyone’s gazes automatically moved toward the tiny social media influencer.The influencer held her head down, her body trembling in fear.Before commoners a
Harvey sized Chester Sanders briefly. Then, he nodded and said, “Seeing that you know who I am, take your men and leave. Don’t let me ever see them again.”A look of great relief immediately bloomed across Chester’s face. He quickly replied, “Of course! Of course!”With a simple hand gesture from him, his subordinates grabbed Colin Sanders and the influencer girl. In an instant, all of them were gone.…The schoolmates present took in the unbelievable scene, feeling as though they were stuck in a strange dream. They couldn’t understand how Harvey was able to do all that.He actually terrified Chester Sanders!Gary Jones shook his head profusely in disbelief. “This is impossible, a mere live-in son-in-law, how could this be happening…”Then, he hid himself in a corner to make a private call.After around five minutes, Gary reappeared and stared at Harvey. Fear and disdain lingered in his gaze.Almost instantly, a new rumour got out to everyone in the room.The Zimmer family wh
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
"Ha… I'm the director of the precinct in the Third Ring, and I'm not worth your time?" Garrick was so angry that he was laughing. "You made yourself sound like you're someone very capable. Come on, show me just how capable you are right now!"Garrick immediately grabbed his phone and tossed it at Harvey. "Come on, make a call! If you can find someone who can overpower me, I'll bend my knee right now."The other two officers also looked at Harvey as if they were looking like a fool. "Forget the fact that you're just an ex-live-in son-in-law… Even if you really did become a CEO through your own abilities, what is there to be proud of?" the female officer said with a smirk. In her eyes, Harvey was just a loser. If a man like him wanted to pursue her, he would have already kicked him to the rub.Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately picked up the phone, giving Eliel Braff a call. Very quickly, the call came through and a stern voice came from the other side. "Who is thi
"Your deduction is quite interesting. Sounds like a detective show, to be honest," Harvey said calmly. "Unfortunately, I have a clear conscience. Why should I admit to a crime I never committed?""Not you?" The female officer slammed the table again. "If you didn't do it, why are you so willing to cooperate with us? You're telling me it isn't because you're feeling guilty? Harvey York, you have to understand that the crime you committed is very serious, especially when the person you killed is from Country A!"If the Embassy sends a specialist to interfere with this investigation, you're going to be in trouble. You better confess when the precinct can still help you. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing you can change no matter how much you regret it in the future."Their phones would buzz every once in a while, which meant new information coming in. From the new information, not only was Harvey the live-in son-in-law of the Jeans of Mordu, one of the top ten families, but he was a
"A lawyer?" Garrick scoffed. "Forget about a lawyer, it's pointless even if you find a wizard! I've already read your information. The CEO of Sky Corporation? Maybe in other cities, the CEO of a public company deserves some respect, but don't forget that this is Wolsing, the country's seat of power! There are plenty of CEOs walking around here!"When you're in Wolsing, it doesn't matter who you are, or what kind of special identity you have. Those who commit crimes here will be punished! You won't be given any special treatment!"Garrick then looked at Harvey as if he had an advantage over him. "Confess the crimes you've committed! That way, I can grant you some leeway. Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible death!"Harvey merely looked at Garrick briefly and said, "You didn't interrogate me, and you didn't show me any evidence. All you do is to tell me to confess. I must say, you're quite tough. But aren't you afraid of accidentally offending the wrong people here in Wolsing, especial
Yvonne frowned slightly when she realized what Garrick meant. "Director, my boss isn't a suspect. He's only here…""Whether he's a suspect or not isn't up to you or me. It's up to the law and the evidence," Garrick said, glaring at Yvonne. His gaze became somewhat sleazy, and he began to scheme how he could use this scenario to throw this beautiful woman into his bed.He continued to say righteously, "Ma'am, I'm warning you. You better not interrupt our investigation. Of course, if you have something to say, you can always lodge a complaint to the office."After that, he waved his hand, and the two officers behind him led Harvey into the interrogation room. Seeing what had happened, Yvonne hesitated a little before sending out a message quickly on her phone.This was something quite serious. If Harvey went in because of this, it would be quite troublesome for the Xavier family as well. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be convenient for the Xaviers to do anything…Meanwhile, Harvey w
Following the angry, booming voice, three people in uniform walked over.The one leading was an overweight man wearing a cap. His face was a little pale because he had been indulging himself for an extended time. The man behind him was tall and handsome, while the woman was elegant. Both the man and woman were in uniform, and they took in the chaos with a stern expression.The one who spoke was the one in the lead.All the men and women gave each other a look and stepped forward at the same time."Director Braff! You have to do us justice!""Director Braff! The specialist from the Country A embassy will give you a call very soon! You have to do this fairly!""Director Braff! There are about 80 thousand to 10 thousand citizens of Country A in Wolsing! You can't ignore our request!""Director Braff! You're a good friend of our country! All of your children are studying in our country! You definitely know how we treat our friends, right?"When the men and women spoke, some of them
Harvey's expression changed slightly after he heard that. After he had finished questioning both Gin and Morganna, he let them go. His aim was simple—he wanted to use them as bait.While it wasn't exactly effective, it was better than nothing.He didn't expect them to die in less than a day, with all the evidence pointed at him. At that moment, Harvey was so speechless, he felt like looking up into the sky.Before the precinct looked for him, Harvey went to the police station in the Third Ring. He had just entered the door when dozens of men in suits approached him with a pretentious aura."That's him! He's the murderer!""He silenced Gin and Morgana when they're just going to the hospital for an interview!""I heard he even offered them money and killed them when the bribery didn't succeed!"The people yelled at Harvey, revealing the crimes he committed. They took out the phone from their pockets, about to take a video of him.If Harvey were a normal person, he would have al
Half an hour later, Harvey and Yvonne enjoyed hot tea in the hospital meeting room.After finishing her cup, Yvonne sighed and said, "I underestimated Linus. While he was in prison and couldn't leave, I never expected that he could make something up like this. Claiming that I and the Islanders were colluding while the family's leader is sick so that I can take all the Xaviers' assets for myself."If the two of them really did publish an article like that with the photos they got, then I would never be able to prove my innocence. Thank you, Harvey."Yvonne sighed. Things would not have ended so smoothly if Harvey had not been around today. Since someone like Gin and Morganna were very pretentious. As long as their weaknesses were not exposed, they would never be able to get the truth out of them no matter how much they threatened the two."You focused on the wrong thing," Harvey said. "Whether Linus ordered the reporters or the reporters wanted to assassinate your character, both ha
Whoosh!A pebble shot out from the floor and immediately hit Gin on his wrist. Because of the pain, the revolver almost fell on the floor as he lost his grip.Two of the security guards saw their chance and quickly ran over. One grabbed the revolver away, and the other immediately captured the other two. Shortly, both Gin and Morganna were brought to the security room. Their IDs were also found."Oh, you two are reporters from Country A? Good, good!" Yvonne looked at the ID written in a foreign language. "I didn't expect reporters from Country A to come and spy on the health of my family members. You must have a lot of free time. Or… Did Linus send you?"Both Gin and Morganna's expressions turned into shock, but Morganna coldly said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Linus, Linas, they have nothing to do with me. All I know is that you're going to pay a price for imprisoning us here, and I know you're not brave enough to kill us!""That's right!" Gin commented with a cold e
